Low Budget with High Value
Had an amazing time with Lenchada on my 3 Day Safari. Everything was well organised and our tour guide Johnny made sure we got to see plenty of wildlife. Since I'm on a backpacker budget this was one of the most affordable tours but the experience you get is worth way more. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and the super lovely staff makes sure you are enjoying your time.

A "must see" in Kenya
For someone spending quite some time in Kenya, a safari to the Mara is a must and personally, I think, I choose the right company to go with. Lenchada got recomended to me by some friends who did the tour a couple of weeks before me and it did not dissapoint. Even though we spent most of our time in the car our driver, Johnny, always kept us entertained either with some stories or pointing out the abundant wildlife surrounding us. He was very eager to show us as many animals as possible and is probably the fastest driver in the Masai Mara. The accomodation is hosted by a lovely group of people always trying to make our stay as comortable as possible. We absolutely got our money's worth, especially since we are traveling on a budget!

Very easy and helpful to deal with.
We recently went to Kenya for our honeymoon. We found Lenchada Safaris extremely helpful and professional to deal with. We spent time in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Parks. All were excellent but the Masai Mara was my favourite. All our Accommodation was all inclusive which was great as we didn't have to worry about keeping money on our persons and all accommodation facilities were first class. We saw all of the animals we hoped to see and it was a superb trip.
One major factor which made our trip so enjoyable was we really landed on our feet to be paired with Dickson Mutaiti as our guide. He was with us for the duration of the trip and was immense. His knowledge of the Natural World is staggering and he answered each and every one of the many questions we had for him about the animals in great detail. Wildlife is obviously far more than a job for him, it is clearly also a passion. He also displayed a first rate knowledge of the flora and fauna of the country and gave us great information on all aspects of this.
We covered huge distances between national parks, but time flew in the jeep with Dickson as he also gave us lessons in the social, cultural, economic and political history of Kenya as well as filling us in on current affairs around the country. His English is excellent and I can honestly say it was like having another friend travelling along with us. He is an engaging conversationist who made the trips very enjoyable. He was also very flexible and had no problem adapting to any requests regarding itinerary or times changes we had.
All in all I would rate the trip as first class, and Lenchada Safaris, and in particular Dickson, played a major role in this being so enjoyable. I couldn't rate him any higher except to say if you are booking with Lenchada Safaris, you will be very lucky to have him as your guide.

Albert is a legend, showed us the best places and had the best vibe!
The tour itself was amazing, our guide knew the right places and had knowledge of the animals and could answer all the questions we had. Our guide definitely went the extra mile 5/5. The camp was good but we where not informed on the fact that you cant pay with card, which basically made us there without money, which obviously sucked. The cook was a legend who cooked very good and was kind and communicating.
On a scale from 0 to 10 this definitely was a 8.

Efficiency and kindness. A safari that will make you very satisfied
We arrived in Nairobi very early in the morning. As scheduled before, our tour operator picked us up and brought us to their office to make the payment. From there everything was perfect. Our guide (Geeman) was the most helpful and kind! We had to reschedule some small things and he was so supportive! During the safari he was ready to make sure we saw all the animals the closest we could. He also was very informative and answered all our questions. A girl in our group lost her luggage in a flight connection and he did EVERYTHING AND MORE to get it back to her, even if we were in the middle of the savana. So thank you! We definitely will recommend lenchada for a budget safari but with all amenities and care of a luxury one!
Thanks, Cecilia and Andrea
