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.

Geeman made our experience one to never forget!
We had an amazing time on our safari but it was really made perfect by our tour guide Geeman! Lenchada have created an unmissable safari experience including amazing accommodation and delicious food, but what really made the experience was our tour guide Geeman! Geeman was not only knowledgeable about all things safari but also an extremely friendly and personable guy who was easy to get along with! He did everything possible to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and even managed to get us a one on one audience with a group of elephants and a cheetah which was surreal! His driving is extremely impressive! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in safari!

All you need to live Africa Safari!
We booked a 6 days safari with Lenchada, visiting Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli.
Since the first contact with Alex, everything was clear and easy. He answered all our doubts quickly.
They picked up us from the Nairobi airport and we started our trip to the first stop Masai Mara where we spent 2 days. We were lucky to see many animals like lions, elephants and guepards, hippos, cocodriles even the wild east migration, crossing the Mara river.
After that, we visited Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru National Park where we can see many monkeys, flamingos and rhinos.
Finally, we arrived to Amboseli National Park where not only saw a stunning sunset but also a sunrise with the Mt. Kilimanjaro with elephants as a spectacular background.
I don't want to close this up without a mention to Jonny. He is such an amazing guide and driver. He always tried to put us in the best place as possible to find or see animals. He is very kind and helpful.

Jonny is the absolute best, we've been so well looked after by him!
We have been on the 6-day safari with Lenchada and Jonny has been our fantastic guide!
The first 2 nights we spent at Lenchada Eco Camp, it's a nice space just outside the Massai Mara reserve. The staff are really friendly and the tent had its own toilet, however it is a budget camp with limited electricity access. On the game drives themselves, Jonny made sure to get us the best views of all the animals. We saw lions, cheetah (with cubs), buffalo, giraffes, zebra and a hyena eating - all in the first day!
The second game drive, we were up early and we were taken out into the wild where we saw plenty of the animals mentioned before as well as elephants and hippos! We even got to see part of the great migration of wildebeest, again Jonny made sure we had the best views which we really appreciate.
Day 3 we travelled to our accommodation for Lake Nakuru, Jonny gave us a choice to stop by Lake Naivashna on the way, so we did. We're so pleased that we did this because we got to have a boat ride and walk alongside zebra and giraffes. Then when we finished, we were taken to our accommodation for the night. The accommodation for the night in Nakuru was good, as it was a hotel room with a hot shower and more food options.
After the Lake, Jonny took us all the way down to Amboseli ready for the last 2 days of our trip. Hats off to Jonny, he's done so much driving and been so fantastic, all with a smile still. He made sure we had plenty of bathroom breaks throughout with places to buy coffee/snacks (which we recommend bringing)
Day 5 we went into the Amboseli reserve. We saw a baby elephant which was only a few days old and we even got to see 3 lionesses with 5 cubs! Jonny said that it's very rare to see lions here, but he managed to get us front row seats again.
Day 6 is tomorrow, we've got an early morning game drive before being taken back to Nairobi. Overall, it's been an incredible experience and would recommend to those looking for a budget friendly safari.
Thank you!
