Caring
I’m so thankful for the tour guide I had, Dixon. I got to sit in the front seat next to him, so he was constantly sharing snacks with me. He worked really hard to help us see all the animals on safari, which was harder for our trip because there has not been enough rain. I was especially grateful that he made sure I was able to get a taxi home after we returned to Nairobi since my phone was having problems and I couldn’t get an Uber. He made sure I didn’t pay a crazy price and that I had a reliable driver.

Moses was fantastic; He is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates great.
The tour was a good time. Pick up was on time from hotel and then took me to the office in Nairobi to pay. Once everyone arrived we were off! We made frequent stops for interesting views, shops and food. While the drive is long and sometimes bumpy, it is good to see so much of the landscape. I stayed at the Enkorok and I think it was great. The tent had everything needed for a the stay with hot water and consistent electricity. My tent had a view of the landscape which made it so much better. Staff was kind and attentive. The food was mostly Kenyan which is good for foreigners to try. It is a quick drive to the park and one can start seeing animals right away! Moses had a great eye for spotting animals and made sure that everyone had a chance to have a good look. He also went above and beyond and took some members of my group out for a sunrise drive which was beautiful. If you have been on safari before, I think going to lake Navasha is nothing special but if you have not its good to see rhino and a couple other animals. The accommodation at lake navasha was fine for the night but not as great as the Enkorok lodge.

Amazing.. one of the best.. that is Dickson
It was my first time visiting the mara with my friend Curtis from the USA and we shared the safari with Ebrahim the guy from Saudi Arabia. The two day experience was breathing and awesome. Our guide/driver Dickson knew where to locate what we wanted to see. The staff at the camp were friendly , the rooms were excellent. The food was delicious. I will visit again next year with family and friends. Well done guys and I will recommend you to my friends too

Professional, reliable, did not disappoint
From start to finish the Safari was fantastic. Alex's communication was very reliable and we felt the company was very trustworthy.
Our guide Khalifa was punctual and engaging and told us all about Kenyan culture and Safari.
The 3 day Safari did not disappoint. Khalifa went to great lengths to get us to observe the Big 5.
Our Safari was somewhat curtailed on the last day by our decision to go to the Maasai camp. It would have been nice to have more time on the reserve that day.
Have money for activities and Safari ready in advance.

A great experience
After communicating with Alex, the manager, and experiencing his super service, we felt like this trip was safe. He arranged for an early pick up at the airport at 05.30, which we did not expect.
Departure to the park from Nairobi was on Point and our driver, Albert, was punctual and reliable. Throughout our two day safari in Masai Mara he made sure we had a good time, were comfortable and experienced the best of the park. Thanks to him we got to see all the big 5! He really went all in to make sure we got to see the animals we wanted. He had a lot of knowledge about the animals, and made stops along the way to let us know what we saw during the safari. We aren't even bird-people, but he made birds interesting too!
The Lenchada tented camp outside the park was better than we expected. Helen, our host, warmly welcomed us to the site and showed us around the compound. The food was excellent (they made sure I got some proper food as a pescetarian), the tents were big and contained a seperat bathroom with hot water and shower. We can absolutely recommended Lenchada safaris and the two-day-safari in Masai Mara.

the best adventure of my life!
I was on a 3-day safari in the Masaai Mara with the Lenchada company. That was great! Picked up from the hotel, brought to the office, where we signed the contract. Then we gathered our group and went on one of the coolest adventures! We got the best guide Mosis!!! He showed us so many different animals, many lions and we managed to see a leopard! Mosis has always tried to give us the best view, thank you very much for such a sincere desire to make us happy, it was great!!! We lived this time at the Lenchada camping, a very cozy place, the staff always helps and asks if everything is fine with us, if we need something. In general, everything was top notch, I recommend this company for your safari visit!

Amazing from start to end!
Thank you so much Alex and Albert (Lunchada Safari) for a wonderful experience. Alex is very good with communication and is always available so it was easy to plan the safari and make arrangement for an early pick up at 5:30 AM at the Airport. Our driver and tour guide, Albert, was knowledgeable and good at communicating with us about the animal’s name, gender, habit’s and much more. We got to see lots of animals like lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, hyaenas, wildebeests, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, a black rhino and ostriches at Masai Mara. We also got to see where the migration takes place.
Albert also made some stop’s before we reached the park so we could buy some snack’s, and even helped us get a Kenyan simcard so we could get data and send picture’s to familie while om safari. We could’t have asked for a better guide!
The Lenchada camp was better than our expectation. The deluxe tent comes with charging ports inside tent so it was helpful to charge stuff rather than going to common area. The tent had a double bed and a separate bathroom with hot water
Food throughout the trip was good and all included.

Wonderful more than Budget tours
Thank you Lenchada for a wonderful safari experience. Alex is very good with communication so it was easy to plan the safari. Our driver and tour guide Dickson was knowledgeable and good with showing us all he could. We got to see lot of animals like lions, cheetahs, leopard, giraffe, elephant, hyenas, wildbeasts, Buffalo hippos, aligators and Ostrich at Masai maara NP while both white and black Rhinos at lake nakuru. In October we didn't get to see great migration.
The lenchada camp was better than our expectation. The deluxe tent comes with charging ports inside tent so it was helpful to charge stuff rather than going to common area. The Lanet matfam hotel in lake nakuru was below expectation as the room was very bad but the hotel amenities like swimming pool and stuff were good.
Food throughout the trip was good and all included. Plan to carry some snacks as the lunch is mostly delayed. The start of the trip was delayed by almost 2 hours waiting in the car which made the first day very hectic.
Final Notes: In all if you plan to do both masai mara and lake nakuru there is lot of travelling by car for 3 hours at lake nakuru NP so if you really want to see white Rhinos only then I would advise doing it. Our pickup and drop-off was from our hotel where we kept our checkin bags as only carry on bags were allowed on safari.
