Amazing Private Safari
We did an incredible 7-day private safari to Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park , and it was an unforgettable experience.
Our journey began with great planning, thanks to Alex's prompt and clear communication. Upon arrival, we were fortunate to have Joseph as our guide. Joseph's in-depth knowledge of the region and animal behavior was truly impressive. He navigated the parks with expertise, ensuring we witnessed the entire Big Five in action, from elusive leopards to majestic lions, swift cheetahs, massive buffalos, and gentle giants like elephants.
Joseph's skill as a driver was equally remarkable. Opting for the Land Cruiser was a wise decision, and we were grateful for the comfort and safety it provided throughout our adventure.
Overall, our safari exceeded all expectations, and we owe this incredible experience to Alex and, of course, our outstanding guide Joseph. This journey will forever remain a cherished memory.

Moses was amazing from start to finish! Would request him if I ever come back!
Great value for money. Alex was a great help to begin with the information and questions we had. The tour starts at 8am but collection from airport was pretty much anytime! We stayed in budget accommodation which was ok and you got what you paid for! The first 2 nights at Masai Mara are great just for the experience! Moses was fantastic on the safari, getting us up close to the animals and telling us so much information! Any question you had he would answer! We saw the big 5! The tent experience was good and Helen at Lenchada was lovely, so were the others! We visited the Masai village with George, who also was great and explained everything! We got to visit the Masai school too, which was fantastic! (Always give a small donation, they rely on this to keep the school going).
At Nakuru again Moses was great, so were the staff at the hotel - good facilities here! Loved Nakuru national park - again Moses shared his knowledge and we had an excellent time!
We stopped a few times along the way and had lunch etc, good for souvenirs!! We had all meals throughout the tour! Mainly rice and chicken, but good meals!
Upgrade to the jeep, do not do the bus unless it’s private! The jeep is a much more realistic experience! Also ask for Moses!!

Moses was a fantastic guide, would 100% recommend him!
My first safari experience was fantastic! The whole experience was so smooth from start to finish. Moses was our guide and he was amazing! He got us so close to the animals and ensured he had the jeep in the perfect spot for photos. He also gave us all the facts about all the animals. The places we stayed were great of you want a real authentic safari experience. Going to the Masai village was amazing followed by spending 20 minutes in the school - wow what an experience! Overall I have loved my safari and am in awe of the whole experience!

Value for money and straightforward
Took a 6 day shared-tour, was good. Was my first safari. Met other cool tourists, saw a bunch of animals. Good value for money. Didn't have to worry about much. As long as bumpy roads and long drives is not a problem you will enjoy this.

Very good tour
Very good tour. We saw lots of animals. Our tour guide Rachim knows the place very well and was always in contact with other guides to find the best places. He did a great job. Since we had booked in very short notice, we needed some help getting the visa approved, which Alex helped us. I can recommend this tour.

A reliable, professional and good value for money quality experience.
I highly recommend this safari tour!
1. Professional and reliable: agency excels in professionalism and reliability. They seamlessly handled the reservation process, accommodating my schedule and preferences.
2. This safari offered the best value for money. While it may not be considered luxurious, it met the needs of a well-traveled person who values comfort and cleanliness. The accommodations were not only comfortable but also conveniently located, adding to the overall satisfaction.
3. My guide Jimmy was knowledgeable and responsible while getting close to the animals. He was a safe driver and a responsible guide who prioritizes wildlife protection. Yet, he managed to get us up close and personal with the animals. Our group witnessed the Big Five and more, with amazing encounters with lions, elephants, and giraffes.
4. This safari is versatile, catering to both experienced travelers and those in need of more support. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and carefree, thanks to the professional, timely, and friendly guide.
5. The accommodations at the camp and the lodge had front-row views of Kilimanjaro, enhancing the overall experience with breathtaking scenery.
6. Delicious and healthy offering, offering a wide variety that never left me feeling unwell.
In summary, this safari agency is a superb choice for anyone looking for a memorable and hassle-free safari experience. Their professionalism, exceptional value, knowledgeable guide, and all-around quality make it a top pick for both seasoned travelers and those new to the adventure.

Paired with Kikitu, the best driver we could have imagined for the Safari
We had a 3 day Safari with Lenchata where we visited Maasai Mara for 2 days and Lake Nukuru for 1 day. We were paired with a driver/guide named Kikitu which honestly made the entire experience exponentially better.
The tents at lenchata camp in Maasai Mara were clean and comfortable and came with our own bathrooms. The food was great and the staff were super welcoming and lovely throughout.
We communicated with Helen before our tour and she was responsive and helpful in setting everything up (including our hot air balloon ride).
We visited the Maasai Mara village as well which we recommend to everyone. They involved us in their welcome dance and showed us their home and knowledge about the local agriculture.
Kikitu was purely phenomenal. He was open and warm from the minute we met him, engaged us with humour and facts about the parks and Kenya throughout the 3 days together and made the safari just that much better. He was always smiling and everyone at the parks knew him and shared similar positive thoughts about him.
The safari was a magnificent experience. Kikutu was able to elevate that experience even more. Make sure you request him as your guide when you book your safari.

Trip of a lifetime!
Everything about Lenchada safaris was amazing from start to finish. Punctual, welcoming and amazing value! Great accommodation and we could not have asked for more in our guide Richard. He was knowledgeable, patient and a driver extraordinaire! He was passionate about the animals and conservation of the areas we visited and took amazing care of us!

4 days safari with Charles!
We spent 4 amazing days with Charles! He is super knowledgeable about animals and National Parks. He did all the game drives like a real king, taking in account our desires and most of all our security.
About Lenchada, I think is a really good option if you want to do a safari in Kenya, we also hired their services of transfer to go from Lake Nakuru to Arusha (Tanzania) and was all perfect.
Thank you Charles!
