Great safari experience
They are good and friendly ppl, trustworthy. my driver(also my guide) Richard is awesome! Over the course of 3 days in low season May, with hard road conditions and high bushes, he still managed to navigate through different parts of the park, reached the Mara river , saw over 10 lions(3 on the tree, 2 on the side of the road,right next to our car, and several more others), 9 cheetah, 3 rhinos, tons of elephant, zebra, giraffes, wild beast, buffalo, impalas...etc it’s truly great experience. I highly recommend Richard.

MEMORABLE
From the very beginning I worked with Eric on putting together our personalized safari itinerary, the communication process was seamless, easy, and very efficient. Eric's response rate was very efficient and quick.
On our safari pick up day, they showed on at 8:40 am sharp, which extremely impressed me. During the safari, Evans was extremely helpful and professional. On our long drive to Maasai Mara, Evans asked about our favorite animals, which we responded Cheetah.
Little did I know then that this simple answer will make Evans drive around Maasai Mara national reserve miles and miles and miles looking for our favorite animal - the cheetah.
In sum, if you are going on safari as a first timer - like us - book with Lechanda Safari and rest assured you are in good hands. As Americans we are very specific of what we want, and they met our expectations. We will definitely reach out to them on our next safari trip.
THANK YOU.
Very good driver/guide
Very good service and communications before and during the trip.
Better then expected

Lenchada Safaris offered a wonderful tour package and followed the itinerary beautifully.
The service and tour was exceptional. The van was very comfortable and clean and allowed for excellent viewing in all directions. The stocked water on the game drives was very helpful. Dennis was knowledgeable and personable as a driver and guide. Communication throughout the reservation process was always timely and I appreciated the morning call from Alex before the driver arrived the morning the tour began.

Great Safari with a very nice and experienced guide!
We went on a 5 day Budget Safari to Masai Mara and the lakes and it was an unforgettable experience. Not only did we see the big 5, but we also had an incredibly cool group with people from all over the world and tons of fun with them on the road. This includes Richard, our guide. He made sure we had whatever we needed, be it information, food/water or anything else and shared his knowledge as well as many a joke. The accommodation was also much nicer than expected on a budget Safari, especially the camp next to a Maasai village and the sweet hotel at Lake Nakuru. Me and my boyfriend both recommend Lenchada - especially with Richard as your guide.

An Experience for Lifetime....
It was an amazing experience with Lenchada Safaris. .
Since the first e-mail to drop off at hotel at the end of the tour everything was perfect .
On the way from Masai Mara to Nakuru we were taken to Lake Naivasa for a boat ride that was not included in our itineraries...so relaxing and enjoyable.
Tents and hotel was just as it was mentioned and simply perfect. Staff members of the tents were nice and cordial. Foods were fresh and good. Water bottles were adequate for all.
Isaac our guide...an experienced driver ,a guide with huge knowledge, such a nice human beings.
He take concerns of everything.
we get the best from the drive and take proper rest.
Thanks to all Lenchada Teams.
Specially Isaac ,Alex Ombeva,Minneh...whomever I came in contact in any means.
Just keep it up.

Everything I could have hoped and wished for! Superb!!
When initially searching for a tour I contacted a large number of companies, Lenchada were quick to reply, friendly and a very good price.
Accommodation:
The guesthouse we stayed in the first night was wonderful and the staff could not have done more for us. The food was also incredible and they even cooked us some food when we arrived as we had missed lunch. We then went on to the Lenchada camp where we stayed in tents with real beds and a full size bathroom, it was way more than we were expecting. When they said camping we literally thought it would be a tent in the middle of nowhere! So we were very pleasantly surprised. Again this camp bent over backwards for us and nothing was too much of an ask for them.
Safari:
We first went to Naivasha Lake where we took a boat ride and saw many hippos, birds and other wildlife. The guy Joseph who took us out was great, very informative and also even let us get off the boat and go over to the Giraffes (this was an incredible experience looking up a giraffe from 3 feet away). We then went on to Nakuru where we went on a game drive around the national park. We saw white Rhinos and many other animals and it was a great way to dip your toe into it before Masai Mara.
Next up was Masai Mara and 'oh my goodness' what an incredible couple of days did we have! We saw everything we set out to see, Lions, Zebras, Hippos, Elephants, Giraffes, the migration, Cheetahs and the list goes on and on and on......
Guide:
Finally....our wonderful guide James! He literally made our trip incredible, I have never met a guide who is so knowledgeable and cares so much about you getting as much out of the experience as possible. Jimmy was in constant contact with his friends on the safari and when he got a call that there were animals nearby he would literally get us there as quick as possible so we wouldn't miss out. I cannot stress how great this guy is and how incredible he made our trip........If I were you I would ask for Jimmy ;)
A word of advice.....if you are thinking about doing a tour definitely book with these guys as you will not be disappointed!

Exceptional From Start to Finish
Our meet and greet at the airport was so friendly and helpful and put us immediately at our ease. The Tour Guide Jimmy who we spent the week with could not have been more approachable, friendly and just went out of his way to make our holiday the best he could. His knowledge of the areas we visited, certainly the Massai Mara was incredible as well as the information he imparted about all the different species we saw. The communication between the guides allowed us to see all the big game and more than we ever expected.
Thank you for giving us some exceptional and profound memories guys and we will no doubt be back to see you again. In the meantime, we will highly recommend you to anyone looking to go on safari in Kenya.
Thank You So Much.....

Amazing Safari Experience - Highly Recommend
The safari tour exceeded all my expectations (although I am unsure as to what my expectations were :-). Our tour leader Jimmy was an exceptional host and ensured that we saw EVERYTHING! He also took us to local nightlife spots on the evenings at our request whilst ensuring our safety at all times.
I would highly recommend Lenchada Safaris - excellent value for money

Perfect ! From the start to end, the execution was impeccable.Great driver&guide, back-office, staff
