So great !
We take a safari 4 days and 3 nights in Masai Mara and Lake nakuru, our guide was Denis. We just past 4 wonderful days. To begin the safari was awesome, we saw all the animals (elephant, girafe, lions, hippo, rhino,...). We enjoy different place between Masai mara, lake nevasha and lake nakuru, was all different but so interisting. The lake nevasha wasn t plained but on the road so he proposed to us to stop for a little boat safari. The accomodation was good, i really liked the place where we was "Lenchada camp" and the staff was realy nice. Thanks to them. We also visit a masai village and meet people from there and the son of the chef, they show us their life and houses. To finish, our driver was Denis, he was so good with us. He take time to explain us different things to stop us for looking animals and taking pictures. Always asking if everything was ok, if we are good. I could stay long more time with them. We was so happy to have Denis like guide since begining to the end. Thank you Denis. Thank you for eveything. I really recommand, if i can, i would come back again (maybe try other place but with same company and same guide). Thank you

Driver Khalifa is the best!
We went to Masai Mara and Nakuru lake and everything was perfect, especially with driver Khalifa who is not only experienced driver but also good guide.

it was so FUN
This trip was so fun. Thankfully i met a new friend in this tour. I don't expect the room would be so nice. Once i enter the room, it was so nice, clean, and comfortable.
Robert, our guide is so kind, even though our van's wheels broke in the middle, but all of driver are working together to help us. Thank you all.
This is my first trip to Africa and it was a wonderful journey.
Terima kasih!!

Fun budget safari!!
I was on a solo trip to Nairobi and went on a 4 day budget safari tour with Lenchada Safaris, to Masai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru. From the start, of replying to my enquiry via safaribookings.com, to clarifying my queries, to picking me from my hotel in Nairobi for the tour, till the end of day 4, dropping me back safely to my hotel- Alex had been amazing and very prompt in replying and making arrangements for me.
Our tour guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and knew the national park well and took us to the right places to see the big five. We saw a lot of lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests migrating back to Serengeti(the great migration), different kinds of antelopes, buffalos,cheetahs, pumba, hyenas, ostrich, rhinos(in lake Nakuru). The meals were good at most places, except one picnic-packed lunch which was average. The stay arranged were also great with hot shower in tent/resort. The fellow travelers were good fun too. It is normal if you notice fellow travelers switching between vehicles - cars accommodate based on the number of days the person has booked their tour.
All in all - I had a wonderful safari. I would definitely recommend Lenchada Safaris for solo female/budget travelers.

Excelent low budget safari
The overall experience was really good. The accomodation are budget tents, but with a reasonable comfortable matress. There is hot water in the showers and electricity is avaliable from 5am to 7am and 6 pm to 10pm.
The seats on the van are not to confortable for the long drive from nairobi but once inside the park you can go standing up and the views are amazing.
Our guide solomon was really good, drivings us to all the good spots and explaning everything.
The only thing was not too good is the food. The lunch is really poor.
AMAZING VALUE, SEAMLESS SERVICE, KNOWLEDGABLE & FANTASTIC GUIDES!
This Company offered us one the best Safari experiences that we ever could have hoped for & it was far better than expectations. My friends and I decided to celebrate our 30th Birthdays on Safari and had an amazing time.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi incredibly promptly (in fact they were early and told our room that that had arrived). We then drove to the Masai Mara, which is actually fine. It's around 5-6 hours drive but there are lots of stops and chances to stretch your legs. From there, we checked into the Sopa Lodge which was absolutely amazing (and the food was great!) before being whisked off for an evening game drive.
The first drive was great - the drivers all talk to each other which maximises the chance of seeing the animals! In our first 2 hours we saw Lions, Cheetahs, Elephants etc. We then went back, had some great food and drank some Tusker by the lodge fire. The rooms were also good value. The next morning - we had an early start and headed out onto Safari. We couldn't believe our luck and managed to see all of the big 5! It was one of the best days of my life for sure.
Because we had basically seen everything in the first day, we decided to see a Masai Village the next day - which was great. It was very insightful to see the village. Be careful though, you are expected to buy some of their merchandise. (I spent about £30 on a necklace, a bracelet and a lion figure. We were then dropped back.
I would highly recommend this service if you are looking for a super value, great company with the guides with great accommodation. There are more expensive options than this which I am sure are more luxurious, but this was absolutely perfect for us - and we like to think we have high standards. Our drivers Albert & Dennis were also great guys!

Good Experience
They offered good value and were great with responding back to emails. They answered all my questions promptly as well. The tour driver was nice and easy to communicate with. We stayed a kibo safari camp ambioselli. Camp was perfect, hot water, clean and as described. Only con is that the execution of all our requests wasnt perfect. I had asked for vegan and vegetarian meals. I had to ask for it again at every meal, both on the van and at the camp. The driver kindly purchased fruits for us but on the way back, the picnic lunch was awful, a small white bread sandwich with cucumber and tomato, cold fried potatoes, dry cake, 1 small apple and half a cup of coleslaw. Also, opt for their better vehicles at the higher price, the van doesnt drive as smoothly as the land cruisers. Game drives were good. Overall, I will use their services again, but I will make sure to communicate exactly what foods I want ahead of time.

Best ones
After search for many agencies the safari that fitted into my budget, one friend of mine told me about Lenchada, as i was in Nairobi i went into them Offices there. It was very nice, they made me feel very comfy, and i reserved the safari with them. It was a good chose because everything was perfect. Even the price ... Thanks to Richar, our guide in the Masai, we can to see the Big Five including the Rhino, was amazing, the best experience in KENYA.
