Good
Our acquaintance with the real Kenya took place thanks to our guide Jeff. We went on a 3 days safari from Nairobi, spending just over a week on the ocean at Diani Beach. At the beginning of the safari trip, it seemed to us as something tedious and difficult, given the size of the reserve, since we thought that we would hardly be able to see many wild animals. On the first day, we had a 6-hour road from Nairobi. We thought this was going to be the hard part, but thanks to Jeff the time flew by. The first thing we were really lucky with on this trip was Jeff. He is incredibly passionate about his work, wildlife, Kenya and really did everything to make our trip interesting and comfortable.
On the first day of the safari, we saw a cheetah so close that it seemed impossible to us. On the second day, we started the safari at 6 am and it was worth it. Endless plains where you can meet many animals on almost every square kilometer. Great Migration. Jeff drove us from the best angles so we could get great shots. Animals: elephants, lions, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, rhinos - at arm's length. The magnificent flora and fauna of the savannah will not leave anyone indifferent. Seeing these incredible territories, you will understand how important a good guide is here.
On the third day, we said goodbye to Kenya, spending time in the Maasai village, and then leaving the reserve for the airport. This color and originality, dating back to the time of the creation of civilization, leaves a vivid imprint in the memory.
From the advantages of organizing a safari:
1. It was nice that the program was adjusted specifically to our requests and wishes.
2. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi, not from the airport.
3. We were able to pay by card in the office, which is very convenient.
4. We saw that every client is taken care of here, answering all questions in WhatsApp very quickly and in detail.
5. Friendly atmosphere
6. Comfortable jeep
As for the safari - This is the Nation Geographic you see with your own eyes! There are not enough words and emotions to describe in text the feelings that we experienced.
Thanks a lot!

Unforgettable Safari
I spent 3 days with a small group and Dickinson; he is the perfect guide for an unforgettable African Safari. He loves his job and knows well the National Park, so would like people to see everything possible. I really saw LOTS of animals, landscapes and enjoyed my time in Maasai Mara. Thank you!
A safe and beautiful safari
I had a very nice Masai Mara safari experience with Lenchada Safaris company. I found the company on Tripadvisor. I read the comments and contacted by e-mail. We agreed easily. The taxi driver Jeff, who will pick me up from the airport, came with WhatsApp information in advance. He was very helpful. They came and picked up from the airport at the specified time. At the Nairobi office, I met company boss Alex. After making the payment, they gave safari program and proof of payment. Our guide Dennis Koome, who took us on safari, is both a very good guide at his job and a very good person. He is clean, calm, tidy and very attentive. During the 3 days we went on safari, he calmly watched the radio conversations and showed us the lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, crocodile, leopard and many animals up close. He took me to places where the big 5 are. It provided the opportunity to take pictures of many animals. Although he was very tired, he did his job without making us feel. The safari camp manager Helen is also extremely attentive and good at her job. It ensures that every guest who comes to the camp is served with care as if he was the only guest. The tent I stayed in the safari camp was very nice. It had a clean toilet and shower with hot water, cleaning supplies. My bed was comfortable and I slept well thanks to the mosquito net. The campground and dining hall were clean and tidy. Buffet food was fresh and good. Packed lunch was provided for lunch. We had a nice picnic on the banks of the Mara river. When the vehicle broke down due to the difficulty of the terrain, they solved this problem without upsetting us. I finished the program as promised. I can safely recommend it for a nice safari. It would be much better if they add more information for trip in Kenya on their website.

4 day/3 night budget safari Masai Mara and Nakuru
The most fantastic experience so many animals and amazing scenery. Our guide James was the perfect guide, helpful, full of knowledge, and very good driver. He knew his way around the park and eventhough he made us come really close to the animals he was respecting and thoughtful of the animals. With his guidance we got to see the Big Five. The accomodation was clean and comfortable with ensuite bathroom and the food tasteful. And don't miss a visit to the Massai village. All and all a fantastic trip that exceeded all our expectations.

Just perfect
I wrote to many tours but they answered very quickly by email with an offer and Hellen wrote on watsapp to tell me that I had an offer in my email. She really took in consideration all that I asked for in my request and with the best price and better accomodations than the others. I thought it's a scam as it was too good to be real but they picked me up at the airport and went to the tour with an amazing guide Richard. Very kind and patient and willing to do his best for you to see the animals without all the other cars around. It was my dream and it was better than I expected it. Thank you so much for this experience. I'll definitely choose them again. PS : Richard has amazing driving skills

Great Safari with our guide Dickson!
The tour was great, 3-days Safari including mara river where you see hippos and crocodiles. On the Safari we’ve seen a lot of animals: lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, serval cat, hyena’s, zebra’s and a lot of different antilopes, etc. Our tour guide Dickson was amazing, he did the best he could to see the animals close by and he knew a lot to tell about them! The lodges were very different and far out of each other, so you had to drive almost an hour to pick everyone up… But except that it was great! Thanks Dickson!!

Dickson Mutaiti was a great guide!
Today 12-09-2022 I went on a great gamedrive with my driver Mr Dickson. Mr Dickson did his best to show us all the animals we wished to see! On 11-09-2022 we were first pickedup by the company who brought us to the safari camp, it was a long but fun ride, the driver Mr Dickson did his best to make us all comfortable as possible and asked regularly if we are comfortable. The night I stayed in Lenchadacamp, a basic camp for safari's. On 12-09-2022 we started our great safari trip with Mr Dickson, the first thing he asked was which animals we wanted to see, I answered Lions! And another girl in my group answerd Hippo, Mr Dickson did his best to show us all the animals. It was a long but lovely day and we felt very comfortable, our guide/driver knew everything about the animals we saw and answered all our questions, we even went to the border stone between Tanzania and Kenya, which was a great experiance. The animals I saw were Giraffe, Lion (2 times!), Hippo, gazelle, impala, buffalo, eland and many more! I really enjoyed my day with Mr Wilson, I think he was a great driver and would for sure book with him again if I come here!

Amazing safari in Masai Mara, lake nakura and lake naivasha
The 5 day safari to Masai Mara, lake nakura and lake naivasha was a lige changing experience. Francis was absolutely amazing as a guide. He gave us the chance to see every exciting animal (including the big 5) at a very short distance. He made us feel so welcome and gave me an experience, i will never forget.

Fantastic tour and lifelong memories
Fantastic tour which exceeded my expectations. I went on the 5 day tour of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Nashiva and Hells Gate NP with our excellent tour guide Moses. Moses is an excellent guide. He always found the best places to find all the wildlife and has the ability to get into the mindset of the animals and predict exactly what they were going to do next which was absolutely fantastic for capturing the most amazing photos. We saw all the Big 5, so many baby Lions, a baby Rhino with its mother, a leopard jumping over water, Lions and their kill, Giraffe, Buffalo, Elephants, Wildebeest and Zebra making their way on their great migration all in the most amazing settings of the Masai Mara. The Masai Village visit was very interesting and great fun to participate in their dancing and learn about their culture. Lake Nakuru was beautiful and it was lovely seeing so much more wildlife against the beautiful backdrop of the lake of birds and flamingos. The accommodation and food on this tour was also amazing. We ate extremely well. Two of the places we stayed had pools which was lovely bonus. Moses would go out of his way to help you with anything. He even organised a doctor to call to conduct registered Covid test I needed for the next leg of my travels to Rwanda. It was such a brilliant tour. I have left with so many wonderful memories, new found friends and the most amazing photos I would never have been able to capture without the help of Moses and his passion and knowledge of all the wildlife. Thanks so much for the fantastic tour.
