Great safari for a great price!
Did the 5 night 6 day safari covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Parks. All very interesting and unique in their own way! Thousands of animals. Saw all the Big Five although the Cheetah was at a distance and the rangers were on top of her right away and we couldn't get closer. Did not see any leopards but were told they are rare anyway. My driver for the first four days was John and he was a good driver, very conscientious of stopping for breaks and refreshments. Not for the faint of heart! It's bumpy and some of of the trips are really long! That being said, the camps I found to be quite comfortable, the food was OK and plentiful! John was extremely patient when we got on a "Big One"! The fourth day however was an extremely long ride with a different driver named Stephen. Not as conscientious as John and we kind of breezed very quickly on the last day through the Amboseli. I would not recommend him for your whole trip. I had been wanting to do a safari my whole life so I'm glad I went with the Lenchada. It got us really into the bush! No luxuries, a great taste of Africa in the wild, came in and out safely and all on an extremely affordable budget! Great safari! Great Price! Thanks Alex.

Good budget safari with Dickson, a great guide
The experience was made memorable by our guide Dickson. He made sure we saw all the animals (missed just the elusive leopard but not for lack of trying) and patiently moved the car around so everyone could get a chance to see the animals and take a good shot. Dickson was knowledgeable about the species we saw and easily answered all our questions. He was patient with our group and requests. If I came again, I would ask for Dickson.
In terms of accommodations and food, upgrade if you can. The camps are fine but it is a lot like camping. If you don’t like camping, you won’t like the camps. Food was the same every day and…okay. A little more care here would make it be 5 stars.

Amazing
This was an unforgettable trip made special by our guide Charles who took great care of us. He was super professional, safe and was determined to get us to see the big 5- and we did. I wish the company had explained the need for a tourist ETA and other options for accommodations. You definitely need to ask lots of questions and they are very good about responding but perhaps things get lost in translation. Overall, an amazing experience!

Easy uncomplicated communication, on time and professional.
We had an amazing time, saw all the big 5 and even more wildlife than we expected. Our personal favorite was the full day in Masai mara. If we could do it again we would skip Nakuru, i.e. do Masai mara and Amboseli. Nakuru Park was very beautiful but the drive was very long and we stayed in a hotel next to the city, not a camp. The accommodations had everything we needed and the food was good, the best one was at Amboseli at Manjaro tented camp, where we had giraffes, zebras and impalas just outside the camp. Albert, our guide and driver, was a bit shy at first but opened up during the trip, always on time and very professional.

Great value, responsive and overall well organised.
The tour vehicle is solid as our guide Evans, his calm & steady demeanor is very reassuring for a safari tour. We had a great experience at the various parks. Seen many animals close up. Evans was able to bring us to see many animals and beautiful viewpoints.
The stay here was very refreshing, clean rooms and helpful front desk personnel. Besides the Maasai Mara tourist camp's unreliable hot water, the rest of the lodgings were nice places with good food.
