Nice experience over all
So I booked the five days safari for Maasai Mara, it was a very decent experience especially compared to what I paid for. The driver was super nice but this safari could be better when it comes to many things. First thing is the optional activities, if you don’t do them you’ll be literally doing nothing “for hours?” In the car, so you’ll have to do them and each one costs around 20-30$ so each day after the second one you’ll be paying around 50$ per person including the tips, so if you’re doing 5 days, that’s around 150USD extra, I don’t mind that at all, as I really enjoyed the activities but I wish their price was included in the whole package as they are “technically” not optional:/ the second thing which is the Maasai village, I hated how I was literally “forced” to buy something from them, so my trip to the village which was supposed to be 20$ ended up as 40$ and what they sold me was the fabric, and it was used, they didn’t even give me a new one:/ I got to know that they have tons of new ones after they gave me the used one, with used I mean someone was wearing it for god’s know how long. The last point is the experience that I had in the very first accommodation when I was trying to buy a bottle of water using USD, and the guy told me “don’t expect me to give you Nairobi’s rates here in the bush, that literally made me feel very uncomfortable! He was super direct about trying to rip me off, as there’s no other place to buy water!
If you guys work on these small details I’m sure you’ll be more successful.
Other than that everything was very positive from how responsive they were, to how many animals we saw, and the memories I made with the people I met there!

The perfect guide but might not to be the perfect company
We booked a 4 days (with game drives in all of them) and 3 nights safari going to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. When we got to the office on the first day to pay, the company said that there was a “small” change in our itinerary that would make our 3rd day a day without doing game drive (80$ p person entrance fee to the park) and in exchange they would take us to the Masai Vilage (20$ fee supposed to be optional in our 2nd day). Part of the group had other programs booked so thanks to the our driver we got to experience a boat ride in a lake (we would have to pay extra 20$ p person) to compensate us.
To sum up, it was an amazing experience, with good food and that we would love to repeat, especially with Joseph, who made our safari amazing.
To the company the only thing I wish they did better: it was not let you book a program that they can not provide…

The right choice for a beautiful experience
We choose a 6 days safari in Kenya as honeymoon and it was beautiful. Our (excellent) driver Johnny guided our group through Masai Mara, Nokuru and Amboseli Parks to let us see zebras, monkeys, crocodiles, hyppos, all the Big 5 and more! The planning was perfect, we could enjoy this beautiful experience in safety, taking a lot of pictures. It was a pleasure live all this with Johnny, taking care of us. Highly recommended!

Good experience & guide
If you are looking for a budget safari I would recommend Lenchada. We did a 3 day safari and stayed 2 nights at the Lenchada camp and the safari experience was amazing. We were quite lucky with the group of people we had the pleasure to share the experience with; the accomodation at the camp is modest but it gives you a chance to rest and have a break from the normal life. I also have to highlight our guide... if you can ask for a guide, make sure you ask for Geeman. He really went the extra mile to make sure we spotted all the animals, always trying to answer our questions and he was friendly not only to our group but also to other guides and people in the village and in the camp.

An absolute pleasure to spend six days with! Soloman was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. AMAZING!
Soloman was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. His knowledge of the National Parks and the animals were extremely impressive. Soloman was able to describe the eating and mating habits of all the wild life animals. He ensured that everyone had a chance to take photos and “hunt” for their favorite animal. As you can imagine, driving in a off-road National park can be challenging, but not for Soloman. His driving skills were impeccable. Many other tour drivers followed us as they depended on Soloman’s experience driving throughout the parks. His ability to unite a group of strangers traveling together is impeccable. After being together for six days, it felt like Soloman was a dear friend or close family member. He was engaging and a superstar.

The Best Experience with Solomon!
I booked my 6D/5N Safari with Lenchada and everything was very easy. Great communication with Alex who sent the whole itinerary. Deposit was online, safe and easy. I got picked up from hotel on time, driven to the office to pay the balance and got introduced to our amazing guide Solomon! He took care of the group for the entirety of the trip. He is an amazingly skilled driver, has eagle-eye vision, is very knowledgeable about all the animals, trees, plants, etc. Honestly, I couldn’t be more happy with my overall experience. The accommodation was great, the food was great (vegetarian), the games were phenomenal. 100% recommended.

Joseph is very experienced and understanding. He was a great guide overall and I have no complaints.
Good value. The food was the same everyday, but for a budget safari the quality of the actual drives in the parks was amazing

Experienced tour operator
I enjoyed this safari! It was relaxing and exciting at the same time. It is ideal if you would like to spend a week in the middle of nature. We saw a lot of animals every day and stayed in good-quality accommodations. It was nice to have evening and morning safaris, as some animals are more active during sunrise. The driver was very polite and knowledgeable.
