Reviews
A safe and beautiful safari
I had a very nice Masai Mara safari experience with Lenchada Safaris company. I found the company on Tripadvisor. I read the comments and contacted by e-mail. We agreed easily. The taxi driver Jeff, who will pick me up from the airport, came with WhatsApp information in advance. He was very helpful. They came and picked up from the airport at the specified time. At the Nairobi office, I met company boss Alex. After making the payment, they gave safari program and proof of payment. Our guide Dennis Koome, who took us on safari, is both a very good guide at his job and a very good person. He is clean, calm, tidy and very attentive. During the 3 days we went on safari, he calmly watched the radio conversations and showed us the lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, crocodile, leopard and many animals up close. He took me to places where the big 5 are. It provided the opportunity to take pictures of many animals. Although he was very tired, he did his job without making us feel. The safari camp manager Helen is also extremely attentive and good at her job. It ensures that every guest who comes to the camp is served with care as if he was the only guest. The tent I stayed in the safari camp was very nice. It had a clean toilet and shower with hot water, cleaning supplies. My bed was comfortable and I slept well thanks to the mosquito net. The campground and dining hall were clean and tidy. Buffet food was fresh and good. Packed lunch was provided for lunch. We had a nice picnic on the banks of the Mara river. When the vehicle broke down due to the difficulty of the terrain, they solved this problem without upsetting us. I finished the program as promised. I can safely recommend it for a nice safari. It would be much better if they add more information for trip in Kenya on their website.

Unforgettable Safari
I spent 3 days with a small group and Dickinson; he is the perfect guide for an unforgettable African Safari. He loves his job and knows well the National Park, so would like people to see everything possible. I really saw LOTS of animals, landscapes and enjoyed my time in Maasai Mara. Thank you!

Good
Our acquaintance with the real Kenya took place thanks to our guide Jeff. We went on a 3 days safari from Nairobi, spending just over a week on the ocean at Diani Beach. At the beginning of the safari trip, it seemed to us as something tedious and difficult, given the size of the reserve, since we thought that we would hardly be able to see many wild animals. On the first day, we had a 6-hour road from Nairobi. We thought this was going to be the hard part, but thanks to Jeff the time flew by. The first thing we were really lucky with on this trip was Jeff. He is incredibly passionate about his work, wildlife, Kenya and really did everything to make our trip interesting and comfortable.
On the first day of the safari, we saw a cheetah so close that it seemed impossible to us. On the second day, we started the safari at 6 am and it was worth it. Endless plains where you can meet many animals on almost every square kilometer. Great Migration. Jeff drove us from the best angles so we could get great shots. Animals: elephants, lions, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, rhinos - at arm's length. The magnificent flora and fauna of the savannah will not leave anyone indifferent. Seeing these incredible territories, you will understand how important a good guide is here.
On the third day, we said goodbye to Kenya, spending time in the Maasai village, and then leaving the reserve for the airport. This color and originality, dating back to the time of the creation of civilization, leaves a vivid imprint in the memory.
From the advantages of organizing a safari:
1. It was nice that the program was adjusted specifically to our requests and wishes.
2. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi, not from the airport.
3. We were able to pay by card in the office, which is very convenient.
4. We saw that every client is taken care of here, answering all questions in WhatsApp very quickly and in detail.
5. Friendly atmosphere
6. Comfortable jeep
As for the safari - This is the Nation Geographic you see with your own eyes! There are not enough words and emotions to describe in text the feelings that we experienced.
Thanks a lot!

Great Safari with a nice and lovely tourguide
My friend and I went to the 3 day Masai Mara Safari and it was great. Dickson as our driver was very patient, knows a lot about all the animals and always tried to find us a good place for the best fotoshot! He always waited until we are done with taking pictures and let us have a good time as a group. We met nice new people and really enjoyed our time in Masai Mara. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and reliable company and a great guide (Dickson)
Wr booked a private 3 day Masai Mara tour, so we had the whole Toyota land cruiser for ourselves.
Our guide was Dickson, an amazing guy. Not only was he very attentive and helpful, but he also knows the Masai Mara National Park like the palm of his hand. Moreover, he is very well connected and always knew where there are interesting sightings. We had the chance to see all animals we wanted. He was super friendly, made some very good suggestions to enhance our experience and at the same time was not pushy and fulfilled all our wishes.
What we liked a lot is that he and the company are very flexible and were ready to make changes so that the itinerary and the whole experience matches our expectations.
Thank you!

Always gives you the best experience
We have booked 5 days safari with 4 over night stays. We are a family of 6 including three generations, aging from 20 to 82. Our driver and guide Moses, is a friendly and skilled gentlemen, he took care of all of us, exceeded all the expectations of us. He considered always weather, road and all other condition to plan the trip to provide best safari. We have had wonderful safari days. Covering multiple parks. The highlight was enjoying the grand migration, just at the door of our comfortable Landcruiser vehicle. We have seen All the Big Five and much more. Moses explained all details regarding the Flora and Fauna, same as cultural things.
Things you should prepare: to avoid credit card fees, have the total payment in cash with you, before you start the safari.
Thanks to Lenchada Safari es, we will come back.

Fantastic experience
Our tour guide Richard has been amazing for the whole trip. He is super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. We asked plenty of questions and he always answers them with patience.
The camp is also fancier than I thought. We got private bathroom inside our tent and hot water for the whole day. The food was also amazing.
Recommend for the first Safari experience!
