Professional and friendly experts sharing a magical experience of the Maasai Mara
From the very first contact, the Lenchada team was efficient and accommodating. They customized a package for a 5-day private tour of the Maasai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru.
Our guide was Evans - he is the best (fastest, safest) driver in Kenya, and a knowledgable guide. We found all the big five, and dined on picnic blankets under umbrella trees, gazing out across rolling green grasslands. We travelled in a kitted out safari Landrover, which was perfect for game spotting and for sloshing through muddy roads.
Evans looked after us extremely well, making sure we had plenty of water and great meals, and sharing bits of local knowledge. He went out of his way to organize extras like hot air ballooning, bike rides, and even sugar cane snacks.
Amazing value, and an unforgettable trip!

A really great trip. A memory for life.
Lenchada safaris is a great tour operator in my opinion. The communication by e-mail was fast and they kept their promises. I slept at two hotels that were great and had swimming pools. The camp itself was also really nice. I saw the big 5 plus a lot of other animals. I visited the Maasai village that is optional, and it will be a memory for a lifetime. I will also say that my guide Dennis was fantastic. He had a lot of experience. He told me a lot of interesting facts. He was always in a good mood and took care of me. If you want to be sure to have a great time I would recommend to ask for him as a guide.

Lenchada Safari staff are the experts of Safari in Kenya!
From the very first day on, everything was perfect! Lenchada Safaris offers a very well organized service! They picked us up fr our accomodation in the morning with no delays to drive us to their office! Then, we left with our guide and driver Richard who is definitely a Safari expert! The jeep was very comfortable and the lunch breaks are organized in a timely manner. Richard always made sure that we were OK in the jeep and asked if we needed anything. It is 5-6 hours drive from Nairobi to the camp but you don't even realize it's long because everything is perfect. Once at the camp, we got assigned to our accomodation and we had enough time to rest before the evening Safari. We were not even expecting having a Safari that day but Richard offered us a wonderful evening Safari. The second day was also very well planned. Richard always gave us two options and as a group we chose one of them. During the full day of Safari, we saw all the animals that one could see in Maasai Mara. Richard did his best to show us the most precious and rare species. We were always the first jeep spotting the animals. When Richard received a radio call from the other jeeps, he drove us to the point where the others spotted animals. I think if it wasn't him, we would not be able to see that many animals. Lenchada Safaris is also flexible with our plan to extend our trip for one more day to go to the Lake Nakuru. The accomodation at a hotel in Lanet was also fantastic. The food both in the restaurants for the lunch break and in the camp was great. I have never eaten that much in my life while traveling! Lenchada Safaris is a great tour operator with its friendly staff, expert guides and drivers and its accomodations. We enjoyed every moment of our time in Maasari mara thanks to them!

Amazing experience!
My 3 days masai mara safari was amazing. we went there exactly in the great migration season, and so blessed to see the river crossing. All things are smooth.. from the beginning of communication until the end. They tried to fullfil my requests. my driver guide is Kikitu, we feel so blessed to be his first group since pandemic. He tried his best to find the animals that we want to see, driving skill is also good. He even explained a lot about the animals we saw in details. The accommodation is comfortable.. but there was no hot water in the bathroom. Also.. drinking water seems not available for us until you keep asking. Other than these, My experience was nice generally :)

Great budget safari
I did a three-night Safari in Masai Mara operated by Lenchada Safaris and I was really satisfied. Masai Mara was beautiful, and I saw way more wildlife than I would have imagined. Our driver James gave the whole trip a positive vibe, he also shared his knowledge whenever we were curious about something - and he really did his best to make this a great trip for everybody in the van and didn't mind doing a little extra effort for it. He was also a very safe driver.
The camp was very convenient, people were friendly and the dinner was fine, too. Recommended!
Lenchada safaris - forever!!!
The safari went according to the program: masai mara-nakuru-navaysha. This is our second safari, so there is nothing to compare ... We all liked it — the organization, the program and most importantly the safari is our super driver guide Kikitu (a good guide is 100% of your success). Kikitu forever !!! He told a lot of interesting things about animals and plants of Kenya, he saw a lot of animals, he was unlucky only with a leopard, he will have to return for a big pussy. But they saw the black rhino family - mom, dad and baby (which is very rare) Thanks Kikitu!
Lenchada safaris forever! Asanta sana Kikitu. Karibu tena!

Shared safaris done right
We have a very pleasant experience with Lenchada safaris. All drivers we knowledgeable, friendly and punctual. Lenchada camp's staff was very friendly and accommodating, the tent was spacious.
Lunch while in Maasai Mara can be improved but that's the only thing I can complain about ... and it is not so important while you are looking at wild animals all day long.
I can recommend Lenchada safaris with my whole heart.

Choose Lenchada if you want an AWESOME trip!!!!
Wow what an incredible experience I had! I'm not really sure where to start... First of all I wasn't that hyped about going on Safari but my friend that I travelled with convinced me and we went on with booking a trip with Lenchada which was a very easy process.
First I thought $300 for a 3 day trip was expensive but damn I was so wrong! We were lucky to get a driver whose name is Raymond (I can really recommend him if you're planning to book a trip) who took so good care of us! He has over 10 years experience in being a safari guide and was accommodating us during our whole trip! It had rain a lot over the night but with his incredible skills we never got stuck in the mud like other cars and that saved us a lot of time to explore the animals instead. Overall he gave us a lot of information about the animals during our safari and was a great guide for us making sure we had the time of our life!!
I think $300 for 3 days is really cheap now after I experienced the trip, you get accommodation for 2 nights, meals, water and a driver for 3 days!!!
Lenchada gave us an experience I will never forget and I can't thank them enough for that!!
Make sure to request Raymond as a driver for a 100% guaranteed amazing trip! I would recommend Lenchada for anyone who would like to have a great Safari experience! Can't wait to come back to Kenya and explore more!

Incredible! Everything either met or exceeded our expectations
Communication was amazing. Make sure you have WhatsApp because it makes it a lot easier. The safari could not have been better we got to see all the animals we wanted! Evans, our tour guide was the real “King” not the lion. He was informative and an incredible driver. Make sure you get the Jeep 4x4 because the mud can get dicey.

Amazing Experience In the Bush
Our safari experience was even better than we expected. Sometimes the communication between the drivers and the passengers wasn't very clear but that's pretty much the only "complaint" we have. Apart from that everything worked out perfectly. Food was great and we were very pleased with the vegan and vegetarian options. The camp was luxurious and we even had hot showers. Overall we had a great experience and we will recommend you to all out friends!
