Lenchada Safaris provided an amazing and unforgettable safari adventures! Highly recommended! 😊
Wow! My safari experience with this company was made even better by our incredible driver, Jimi! Not only did he navigate the rugged terrain with ease, but his enthusiasm and knowledge about the wildlife added an extra layer of excitement to the trip. Jimi went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible sightings and experiences. I can't thank him enough for making this safari truly unforgettable. Ten out of ten stars for Jimi and this fantastic tour operator!!!

We had a wonderful 6 day budget camping safari organized by Lenchada Safaris.
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari. The wildlife viewing was fantastic. Highlights included approximately 35 lions in one day at the Mara including 3 lionesses and 9 babies, a lioness on a Cape buffalo kill, and a male lion hunting, cheetahs , and all the incredible number of other animals and birds up close. Three black rhinos and 3 white rhinos at Lake Nakuru NP. Impressive herds of elephant with the clear views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide David was extremely professional. Handled very difficult roads with skill in a powerful Land Cruiser. Everyone had a window seat as promised. David explained the habits of the various animals. Was able to spot animals we would otherwise not have seen and to position the Land Cruiser in the best spot to take photographs, always as close as possible without being too close and so that we were not shooting into the sun. When he heard about lions and rhinos over the radio he got us to them very quickly without sacrificing our safety.
We enjoyed meeting the other travellers on this group safari. The permanent tent camps at the Mara and Amboseli allowed us to be close to nature but still enjoy mod cons….large canvas tents with screened windows on three sides on concrete or stone platforms, good beds with sheets, pillows and blankets. Towels. Electricity. Western toilets en suite with showers with hot water. The food was plentiful. Basic local rice, potatoes and vegetables, chicken and beef. Fresh delicious mangoes. Camp fires! A great nature walk around the property at the eco camp at Amboseli led by a Masai, seeing many birds, impalas and a large elephant just outside the electric fence protecting the property.
A well organized safari at an excellent price. Excellent value!

Truly epic adventure
Excellent experience with Lenchada Safaris! Alex was always quick to respond to any amount of questions when I was trying to search and book safari online. Barring from a small miscommunication (which was clarified quickly) everything else went smoothly regarding the booking. Note that they prefer cash/mpesa for booking and card will incur 5% extra during the booking.
Albert was our guide for our 5 day safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and lake Naivasha / hell's gate. He was the one who made this trip a truly epic adventure! He was very friendly to talk to and always provided with interesting anecdotes/information regarding nature, wildlife, culture etc. Bonus points to him to make us wake up early for the game drives so that we could see all the wildlife up close when they were awake. Albert is an experienced guide who drives also quite well and will make sure you don't get hurt during the bumpy rides.
Lastly, the vehicle that the company provided was very comfortable and perfect for game viewing.

wonderful experience
We were planning a safari, covering Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and the Hell‘s gate national park. After searching several tour companies, we found that Lenchada tours offers a five day safari which meets our requirements. Moreover we could also customize the tour, selecting a private tour for a mid range accommodation. The tour went smooth and the accommodation was worth the money. Our guide, Albert, answered all of our questions. Because of him, we could see all the big five.

Charles was the most amazing tour guide. Not only knowledge but a great driver on the busy roads.
The most epic experiences of my life. This was a bucket list trip already but it far surpassed my expectations. We saw every animal even the ones like cheetahs who are always hidden. Our guide Charles knew every detail you could think of and could spot things from miles away. He would always get the best positions and allow us to take pictures that could be on national geographic, I would come back in a heartbeat. The food, the stay, the arrangements were so smooth. We even got to go on hot air balloon to Kilimanjaro! Will never forget this trip. Also made some great friends in the group!

Great safari and wonderful service
I had the most amazing time on my trip to Masai Mara (4 days 3 nights) which was arranged by Alex on short notice of just 2 weeks. Our guide and driver was Raheem who was a warm and friendly person and very accommodating. We traveled in a Land Cruiser which was comfortable and had plenty fo water for us for the trip. We saw the big five and many other animals within 2 days of being on the Safari. We stayed at Keekrock Hotel which was perfect for us because of the many vegetarian options available in the buffet, their wonderful service, and its location right next to a pool full of hippos. Everything was very well organized and taken care of. I would highly recommend taking a safari with Lenchada Safari and asking for Raheem who had great spotting skills and patience and was a wonderful companion to us during our trip.
Overall, I found it to be a bit expensive but had a lovely time and would recommend it to other people.

The trip of a lifetime
Kenya Africa with Lenchada Safari Tours What a truly amazing experience. Our six day safari from Maasai Mara to Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru Park to Amboseli Park was a time i will never forget. Full meals and accommodations were all provided without worries. It could not have been any smoother.
As for our guide Francis aka "Bush Man" this guy was truly exceptional. If you have the option make sure he goes to the top of your list for your guide. We saw the African big five by day four. He has many contacts inside the parks so you will not miss a thing. He always found a way to squeeze his vehicle into the group of trucks to get you a front row seat. From the ferocious lion to the beautiful butterfly he will not hesitate to stop for you to get your photos.
Thank you all for the trip of a lifetime.
