Awesome Safari
The people were amazing here. I emailed a lot of folks from Safari bookings website. Among all, Alex from Lenchada Safaris is super responsive and responds very quickly. So I decided to go with them.
Day1: On the day of safari, i got picked up from the airport at 6am to get dropped off to their office. Alex was responsive even at 5.30am in the morning.
Around 8am, when all showed up, we started the Safari. Our driver is Jack Kulet and I have no words for how amazing he is. It's a long drive to Masai Mara park. We stopped at Great Rift Valley for a good view. Then We went to the Lenchada camps, which is where I stayed for 2 nights while doing Safari at Masai Mara. It's not your everyday campsite, rather a high end glamping with restrooms inside. After that we did evening game drive and saw a wide variety of animals in just 3hours. We got back and had dinner.
Day2: It's a full day game drive. We started at 6.30 am in the morning till 4.30pm in the evening. We spotted a wide variety of animals including cheetah, lions, buffaloes, topi, hyenas, pumbas, wildebeest, elephants, gazelles, impalasam, hartebeest, zebras, giraffes, crown crane, hippo, secretary birds, meerkats, elands...... throughout the day. For the lunch we stopped near the Mara river, where the rangers gave a short tour of hippos and crocodiles.
Day3: We started the early morning game deive at 6.30 and went on till 10ish am. We continued to see a lot of wild animals. Throughout this Jack was terrific in showing us the animals and telling us what they are. Later we left the park Around the lunch time i got transferred to a different jeep for my Lake Nakuru trip and my new guide is Moises. The day ended with me relaxing at a budget hotel near Lake Nakuru
Day4: Moises was amazing as well. We started the Safari at 7am after breakfast. We went to Lake Nakuru and saw lions, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, pumba, baboons, buffaloes,... and also lot of birds. He was another excellent driver. This park is not as big as Maasai Mara but you get to see birds, lot of baboons and rhino of Big5. After the safari ended, we stopped by for lunch before getting dropped off at my hotel in Nairobi.
I highly recommend going with Lenchada safaris directly and not through third party ripoff agents like Viator or Tripadvisor.

Well arranged and organized
I booked the 4 days and 3 nights safari (masai mara & lake nakuru) but I decided to extended one more night since everything was perfect so I did the Hell’s Gate Experience as well. Nothing much trouble, our Tour Guide Solomon had a big contribution for this wonderful experience due to his professionalism and knowledge. Will definitely recommmend.

Really patient and respectful, arranged everything well in advance and was very punctual
The driver Mr Alberto was very respectful, hospitable and a very skilled driver. He really put in the extra effort to show us the wildlife and the geography of Masai Mara. The tour operator arranged the food and the arrangements well in advance with the camp staff being extremely kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend lenchenda safaris for anyone looking for an amazing experience.

Beyond excellent ! Our tour guide Alberto was a very knowledgeable person, we enjoyed our trip
Lenchada is your best bet, if u are looking for a budget trip to masai mara , they give you more than what you paid for. Excellent pick up service from our hotel in nairobi , we enjoyed our 6 hr drive to masai mara & stayed at their camp with the best facilities. They gave us the tour of the reserve for 3 days and our guide alberto made sure that we saw almost all the animals , including the big cats. We enjoyed thoroughly & are taking back many memories. Special thanks to alex , who organised our trip & was very accommodative to our needs, our guide alberto for taking the time & having the patience to explain us the details , Helen our camp supervisor for giving us a very comfortable room & taking care of our food and not to forget the masai guards at the camp for sharing their stories at the bonfire every night. Thank you to everyone at lenchada & i will definitely recommend them to everyone who wants to come to kenya

Above and beyond! Absolutely blown away. Best adventure ever!
From beginning to end everything was carefully planned to deliver the best experience! I am a 42 yo solo female traveler who went on a 6d budget safari with Moses. I saw many many animals including the big 5, giraffes, antelopes, Zebras, and lots and lots of birds. Moses was not only able to find the animals and get us the best spot for amazing pics, videos and just watching them move, but he was also a wealth of knowledge about the animals themselves, their habits,... he also knows 200+ birds and can identify them! As well as trees, plants and what not. So it's really wonderful to learn all of it. In terms of accommodation: the budget package did not feel like budget at all. Everything was safe and comfortable. I could not have asked for more. And I highly recommend them. Definitely great value for the money and it does not feel at all like a "budget" safari. Communication was super easy by email and whatsapp. Responses were prompt and detailed.

We were full of expectations considering that it was our first ever Safari and we were in our honeymoon! Well, it was even better than everything we thought it would be!! Our driver Moses was incredible, with mad driving skills and he knew everything about every single animal! It was literally magic! We totally recommend it! Amazing amazing amazing!!

Evans was so professional!
Helen was very kind and looked so professional for our booking. We had a problem at our hotel and she and Evans waited patiently to resolve our issue.
Evans provides a lot of confidence to his passengers as a driver. He has been driving for over 15 years through Kenya's game parks. He is great at spotting animals and is knowledgeable about many species. I would highly recommend him to you. You will be satisfied!
