Flexible and easy to work with.
Alex was great to work with and gave us a good deal on a wonderful safari! He handled all the details and we really enjoyed Keekorok Lodge at Masai mara. Got to see many great animals and would definitely recommend this safari and especially Lenchada safaris!

Great budget safari
This is a great budget safari for those who want a no frills experience where you are immersed in the Masai Mara park and Masai culture. I emailed frequently with the owner Alex before I arrived and he was very helpful! I signed up by myself but was added to a group of 5 others and we had a nice time together. Also, I’m very glad I chose the jeep 4x4 versus the mini van, as we had to help a few vans along the way that got stuck on the treacherous roads!
We spent a LOT of time out on safari-I was pleasantly surprised! Our guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and also did a good job of navigating the awful roads around the park. Masai village tour was included and was wonderful!
Lenchada camp is very basic but fine since you are basically just there to sleep. As a single female traveler, I felt very safe at the camp. Food is nothing fancy but flavorful and plentiful!
Suggestions: don’t drink too much water when you are at the Mara since there are basically no bathrooms; bring cash to the camp to buy beer, water, sodas or snacks. A flashlight is helpful for getting around the camp at night. The animals are noisy-earplugs are helpful at night. Bring layers especially if doing a safari in the colder months of June and July.
A few comments: meal times should be more frequent or we should be told to bring snacks. Most days we would leave the camp at 6am and eat lunch around 2pm, which was too long to wait for most of us. We were all starving well before lunchtime each day. Also, I didn’t like that the camp doesn’t provide any drinking water. The safari vehicle did have water but I also had to purchase bottled water at the camp. That seemed a bit strange to not have water available at meals or in the rooms.
All in all, it was a great experience and first safari for me.

Great!
We did a 4 day private tour with Moses. Everything was perfect. We were picked up on time and dropped off on time. Moses was so kind in explaining a lot about the animals and he made sure we saw the big 5 and got great pictures. He always asked to make sure we were comfortable. The lodges were all great and the food yummy. I feel like we got way way more than what we paid for, we did a budget safari but none of the lodges felt like budget hotels. I would not hesitate to recommend Lenchada Safaris to anyone!!

Very trustworthy and correct partner!
June 2022 with Lenchada from the Top of Mount Kenya to the wildest places in the National parks of Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Hells Gate and Amboseli. Perfect organization and not a single mistake for a 14 days. Very trustworthy and correct partner!

All arrangements were perfect and our guide was superb!
We went with Lenchada safaris based on online recommendations and we were not disappointed! It is a very reasonably priced safari but all the arrangements were first-class and perfect. From hotel bookings, to all the meals through the 5 days, to transfers from hotel to safari and drop to airport, everything was managed very smoothly. Huge thanks to Alex and team for the great arrangements.
But what made our safari experience really wonderful was our excellent, knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide and driver Kikitu Douglas. He went well over and above, making sure we were able to see and experience everything that Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Nakuru had to offer. He always had a joke and a smile throughout the 4 days we spent in his car. Very thankful to Lenchada team and Kikitu for a really memorable 5 days in Kenya!

Amazing
Richard was our tour guide and he was the absolute star of this trip! We were in Masaai Mara for 3 days and we saw all the “Big 5” thanks to him. He knew where to go and had such an eye for spotting. Super resourceful as well whenever we ask questions. Couldnt have asked for a better tour guide, exceeded expectations - thank you so much Richie! Also, he was very punctual as well, he ensured the programme flowed perfectly.
