Over and above
My friend and I went on a six day safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. We had a fantastic time! We saw almost every type of animal. Our tour guide went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had an enjoyable adventure. The lodging in both Masai Mara and Nakuru were comfortable and clean. The lodging in Amboseli was less so and I would highly suggest a change in lodging location. Be prepared to eat something similar every day, but all of it was good food. Over all, my friend and I had an amazing time, would recommend this trip, and would do it again.

Memorable experience
We took 5 day Masai mara- nakuru- naivesha with lenchada safaris. The experience was wonderful and is more than worth the price. Our guide and driver, James is very knowledgeable and he made sure we all were very comfortable throughout the journey. We saw all the big five including the feasting of the cheetahs. Everything from punctuality, cleanliness and staff behaviour was top notch. I strongly recommend lenchada and if possible ask for James as the guide.

Amazing Travel Company!
Lenchada travel offers a great service. I was traveling with a colleague after working for a few days in Nairobi and we had a great time. Our driver Kikito went above an beyond in the game drives to make sure we could see all the animals. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The food in the campsite was really good and all the people are willing to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you for helping me have the best memories possible during my time in the Masai Mara.

Friendly efficient safe and affordable 3D Mara + Nakuru
The drivers were safe and attentionate. Camp in the Mara was rustic but very pleasant. Chatting by the fire camp with the staff and visitors was a nice experience. Electricity is only available for a few hours , so make sure you come prepared. During the safari, had a maximum of 7 in the 9-seater which was confortable. The guide did every effort to make our safari a success. Staying 3 nights is not necessary except if you are there during the migration season and want to increase your chance of seeing the river crossing. Lake Nakuru is the perfect park to combine with Mara. The flaMingos and the rhinos are many there and the sight is stunning. I stayed at Matfam hotel which was pleasant as well.

It was great from the beginning. Pick-up was on-time, the car clean and reliable. The driver was very friendly and tried hard to make everything possible. The camp was clean and really beautiful. We could not have asked for more.

Superlative Safari Experience
My wife and I booked a 7 Day Safari to Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli through Lenchada Safaris. Our experience was EXTRAORDINARY! We arrived in Nairobi on Saturday and had booked a day trip to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage for Sunday. Our driver was at our hotel on-time to take us to Sheldrick, but because we were early for the park opening, he took us to the Giraffe Conservatory first. It was a wonderful added excursion and allowed us time with the giraffes before we headed to Sheldrick. Sheldrick is another extraordinary experience and we highly recommend visiting their operation. On Monday we were picked up by our wonderful safari guide and driver, Isaac. We traveled with six other people to the Lenchada Safari Camp just outside the Masaai Mara Game Park. The safari camp was more than we had expected and our tent had an en-suite toilet and shower. The camp has electricity for three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening. Each tent has solar lights as well. It was "Glamping" at its finest. The game drives over the next three days were unbelievable. Isaac knew all of the areas to go into to find the Big 5 game animals. We spotted cape buffalo by the thousands, lions (male, female and adolescent), a leopard with its kill in a tree, elephants, and the elusive black rhino. The Great Migration had started in the Masaai Mara and we were treated to views of thousands of wildebeest and zebras. Isaac knew all of the animals and imparted much knowledge concerning all of the species. We made our way to the Mara river and saw crocodiles and hippos, galore. We added on a visit to a Masaai village and were not disappointed. The village is not a tourist trap, it is an actual village were a tribe of about 200 Masaai live and raise cattle. We also visited a local primary school, which was very humbling.
We traveled to Lake Nakuru on day 4 and stopped for a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The boat ride was another very nice add-on. We saw hippos and many bird species. We stayed in a nice hotel for the evening in Lake Nakuru and had a nice meal. The game drive the next morning was very successful as we were able to spot and get close to white rhinos, as well as more lions, elephants, and many different antelope and gazelle species. We also saw thousands of flamingos.
We departed Lake Nakuru for Amoboseli on day 5. The drive is about 250 miles and it is long but takes you through small towns and was very interesting. We were treated with a view of Mt. Kilamanjaro as we got to Amboseli. The mountain is usually not visible due to cloud cover, so we were very excited to get the view. The safari camp at Amboseli was also very nice and had electricity 24/7. Each cabin has an en-suite toilet and shower. The tents do not have en-suite facilities, but there are toilets and showers available for those quarters. The game drives in Amboseli were once again extraordinary. We saw so many elephants!
It is difficult to put into words just how wonderful our experience was on this trip. We are seasoned travelers and have been all over the world. This safari is at the top of our most favorite trips list! Our driver/guide, Isaac, made the whole experience wonderful and was very professional and friendly. Lenchada made the booking easy and provided everything that we expected and more.
