Trip of a lifetime
Lenchada Safari has been brilliant from start to finish. During the booking process, they were prompt to reply to emails and answered all questions thoroughly. Pick-up at the airport was smooth and slick. We had a lovely driver called Geoff, who welcomed us immediately. Everyone in the office was friendly and accommodating.
The actual safari it self was out of this world; we had the best time!! Raheem was our tour guide and he made our trip! He was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and very informative about the animals and parks and answered all our questions. He did his upmost to ensure we had the most amazing time. With his experience, he enabled us to see a baby rhino, the migration crossing and a lioness with her kill to name just a few.
All accommodation was sufficient; staying on the campsite was exciting knowing that we were among the wildlife. Everything was organised and well ran.
It is a trip that everyone should do and we 100% would recommend this company. They have been superb! Just take a cushion for your bum! Haha
Excellent and very understanding
My experience with lenchada Safaris was very welcoming and excellent services. As a foreigner, I loved the food meals which were very amazing and delicious. They provided three meals each day and the lady was very nice. She will cook any meals u ask for as long they have the resources. The tour guide was genual and he knew the best places to go. The Lenchada safaris was also affordable and cheaper than any other packages. Last but not least, I liked how how the tent areas were not overcrowded and provided showers and Bathrooms.

Skilled, professional, and reliable
Wow what an unbelievable experience. We got to see everything from giraffes to elephants to impalas to zebras to cheetahs, lions, and even a rhino! Albert our tour guide was extremely skilled and professional, always looking to make sure we got the best experience possible. He knew the park like the back of his hand and showed us more than we could have ever anticipated in a two day safari. The Masai people were also incredibly warm and welcoming. Would definitely do this again, just for longer next time to see even more!

Excellent safari with reliable operator
Did an excellent safari to Amboseli National Park with Lenchada in July 2021. They only required a modest deposit to book the tour and the remainder was paid on the day of departure. This was an advantage compared to some operators who insist on full pre-payment. The price quoted was also very competitive.
The owner Alex was efficient in terms of adjusting the trip, dealing with clarifications and following up to check that we had enjoyed the safari. The driver-guide Richard was outstanding. He was a safe and confident driver and was excellent at spotting animals. He also showed very good knowledge of the animals, Amboseli National Park itself, and supplied just the right amount of information.
It was a great safari and I would also highly recommend Ol Tukai Lodge, as one of the only two lodges in the centre of the park, reducing driving times at the start and end of game drives. I would use Lenchada again without any hesitation, highly recommended.

The 6 Meet the Big 5
After alot of contemplation, we finally decided to go with Lenchada (Alex) and it's a decision we will never regret. It was an amazing week with our guide Richie, who tirelessly made an attempt to give us an unforgettable experience. Our every question was answered and every wish granted. We lived at some amazing properties (Masai Mara, Ambosili and Nakuru). Experiencing nature at its best is a memory I will cherish. Definitely worth the price we paid and the service provided. The ride was terribly bumpy but our Landcruiser steered by Richie made it possible to maneuver through the terrain. This trip definitely brought out the survival skills in me and if you ask me.. will I do it again?????.... Most definitely!!! Thanks, Richie and Lenchada for this amazing holiday that will be cherished forever.

Lenchada is the Pride of Masai Mara Safari-----
Lenchada Safari.... I still remember the smile and kindness of Mr. Alex... Yes Alex is the CEO of the Company, but a ground to earth personality.
When Initially I made a enquiry through Safari Booking, within minutes I got a call from Kenya, stated that I am Alex Calling from Lenchada Safari.. from that point I feel that this company will be secure and reliable as they take good care of customer, and they believe the customer is the King. But still I made few other enquiry with other group like KARIBU SAFARIS, Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris , Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara, Jocky Tours and Safaris - , Spirit of Kenya, Right Choice Tours & Safaris, Mufasa Tours and Travels, Tekko Tours and Travel, Deep Forest Safaris.... unfortunately they all are very expensive... some of them are 300% higher than Lenchada.... and Alex provided me a best price for 3 of us with a Landcruiser Jeep Safari... The price given by him was the best and cheapest, So we thought that he might be cheating... because this what we all think about African People... But believe me, this gentlemen changed my complete thought about Africa, and I felt very guilty about misunderstanding the African People.
On first Day, he personally came to pick us in Nairobi with one of his Driver Mr. Jack. Unfortunately I had some bad experience with the Hotel I choose to stay on arrival to take some rest, the Name of the Hotel is Eldon Villas, they snatched $500 from my purse and even not ready to review the CCTV. When I was arguing with the Hotel Staff, My friend Alex was waiting for me in the gate and he said "Abdulla... Dont worry about the Money, You can start your trip and Pay me later or after you go back to the country"... I was very upset with the Eldon Villas... [Eldon Villa is a hotel which I personally choose to take rest on first day, and it is not part of Lenchada Package]
Then we start our Trip, and Driver Mr. Jack was also very kind and helpful. He dont feel happy unless we are happy and enjoyed, such a nice and gentlemen.
As part of Lenchada Package, On first 2 days we stayed in Lenchada Camp - Very Nice and ecofriendly Camp. Due to geographical location the Wifi is not there and electricity is available in the Morning and Evening. However you required Electricity in the Morning and Night Only just to charge your gadgets, remaining time your busy with Game Drive and the room temperature is about 15-20, so you dont feel hot also. This Camp provide Good Food, and 24 Hrs Hot Water too...
First 2 Days we had a Game Drive in Masai Mara National Reserve (Ollolaimutia Gate), Yes we are very luck to see the Big 4 very close to our jeep (Lion, leopard, Cheetah and Elephant), also we find several other animal too like Giraf, Buffalo, Zeebra etc....
3rd Day we went to Masi Village, and Drive to Nakuru National Park, From Nakuru we are able to Find the Rhino and Lion with Cub... and Flemingo...
If you have any Plan to go to Masai Mara - You must go with Lenchada Safari, and make sure you got a Drive with Mr. Jack or Mr. Abdulla, it doesnt mean the other drivers are not good, this 2 are the driver which we personally experienced and highly recommended. They know each point where they can find the Big 5, and they are highly knowledge about the animal and plant, they can give you a detailed information about it.
Better dont choose your drive with Van, because the drivers will have limitation to take you to the off road and it is not comfort... Always choose your Safari with the Jeep....
Again... If you have any plan to Visit Masai Mara Park... Choose Lenchada Safari with Mr. Abdulla or Mr. Jack....

Great experience
I really recommend lenchada safaris. Alex is quick at responding and provides detailed information about the whole trip. Moses was our guide and driver. He is a very cautious driver and excellent at spotting animals in the maasai mara.
