Punctuality and professionalism.
We want to thank from the bottom of our heart to all the Lenchada team(Alex is a very professional leader and Collins, you were very kind and attentive to all of our needs). As I am writing this review we are still in Kenya, and this is our second time we're coming but so far Gichina was the best tour guide we have ever had. He was more of a friend than a guide. He is very knowledgeable, and knows very much info about all the animals. Myself I've watched every single documentary about african wildlife so it was very nice to have someone to talk to and share information. We had very long chats about everything we've encountered, he was always punctual and eager to please all of our needs. Thanks to him I got to take the photos I was longing for. His driving skills are very good and everything went very smoothly. You know what they say, sometimes you meet people that will change you forever and Gichina is one of them. He is that kind of warm person who you care for dearly. In two years from now we will be back to Kenya with our son and we'll make sure we'll do a private safari with Gichina and Lenchada because truly they are that kind of people who want you to enjoy your holiday! Asante sana!

Well organized and all details taken care of.
We had a wonderful experience with Lenchada Safaris and specifically with our guide, Gee Man. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we saw the Big 5 and had plenty of time up close with the animals. Highly recommend a safari with Gee Man for an unforgettable trip.

THRILLING
A beautiful trip full of surprises and emotions. We could see lionesses hunting wildebeests, a pair of lions doming, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, ostrich, giraffe, elephant and so many others. It is very spectacular to go in the car looking at the landscape looking for the surprise of finding one of these majestic animals next to you, in the wild.
The best; our driver Geeman, who gave his best, during 12 hours of safari. The best driver, with full control of the car in the most complicated situations, the best guide who was always attentive to our requests, and at all times explaining everything to us. We also have a photographer set up by the company.
What can be improved; cars, some damaged windows made a lot of dust enter. The accommodation (I understand that this is eligible), there were no plugs in the shops, restricted electricity hours to light the room, and the space could be improved. But I also understand that this lowers costs, at least, for two nights that you are only going to sleep! :) However, Breakfast was super!!

It was worth it
-Recommend guide Dickson
During this journey, I was truly fortunate to have encountered a strong and professional guide—Dickson. If you plan to join this tour, I highly recommend that you specifically request Dickson when communicating with the travel agency. Not only does he excel in his profession, but he is also friendly, knowledgeable, and will provide you with an unforgettable travel experience.
-Wildlife Viewing Experience
Under his guidance, we were fortunate to witness the magnificent spectacle of the Great Migration, one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders in the world. In addition, we saw African hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons, and various other animals. His deep understanding of these animals' habits allowed him to lead us directly to where they were. Throughout the viewing, he would frequently stop the vehicle to explain the behaviors, lifestyles, and ecological significance of these animals in the African savannah. This not only enriched our experience but also deepened our understanding of African wildlife.
-Extensive Connections
On the journey between Nairobi and Maasai Mara, I witnessed firsthand Dickson's extensive network. With 15 years of experience in the industry, he seemed to have friends and acquaintances everywhere we went. These connections not only made our trip smoother but also provided us with additional information and resources. For example, in a remote area, thanks to his connections, we gained access to places that regular tourists wouldn't be able to visit, allowing us to experience more authentic and unique landscapes.
-Superior Vehicle Comfort and Skills
The Jeep we used for this trip was a new vehicle that Dickson had recently acquired. It was equipped with top-tier suspension systems and premium seats, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the journey. Whether crossing the bumpy savannah or navigating rough mountain roads, we always felt safe and secure. Dickson's driving skills were impeccable; his expertise and precise judgment of road conditions put us at ease on every leg of the trip.
-Genuine and Kind-Hearted Character
As someone interested in psychology, I deeply value qualities like sincerity and kindness. Dickson embodies these virtues and displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the journey. He never pressured us into shopping or participating in extra activities. Instead, he patiently listened to our needs and did his best to accommodate our wishes. On the African savannah, Dickson also introduced many interesting activities, such as interacting with local tribes and visiting ancient cultural sites. He always encouraged us to choose activities based on our own interests rather than following the crowd.
-Extensive Knowledge Sharing
Dickson is not only an excellent guide but also a knowledgeable teacher. He is fluent in English, French, and local languages, which allowed him to communicate seamlessly with people from different backgrounds. Through his explanations, I learned a great deal about African history, culture, and social phenomena. He also shared insights into animal evolution, migration patterns, and ecological balance, giving me a more comprehensive understanding of the African continent.
-Conclusion
For a solo traveler in Africa, finding a reliable friend in a foreign city is both challenging and fortunate. Dickson is not only an outstanding guide but also a trustworthy friend. I am grateful for his care and guidance throughout the journey, making my time in Africa so memorable and enriching. If you're planning a trip to Africa, Dickson is undoubtedly a guide you can trust.
