Guides were fantastic
I’m glad that I chose Lenchada Safaris.
I booked 4 nights / 5 days, with 2 full days in Masai (3 nights) and 1 in Nakuru. If I could go back, I would’ve done a 3rd full day in Masai Mara and would’ve dropped Nakuru all together, or I would’ve ended the tour on day 4. Nakuru is nice, but it can’t follow Masai Mara.
Solomon (1 full day) and Joseph (1 full day) were my guides while in Masai Mara. Both were full of knowledge and gave tons of animal information (male vs female, which is the alpha/leader, why they do this/that). They are also driving pros.. some of those trails are slick (muddy, wet, bumpy).
I only didn’t see a Leopard, but I saw many Lions (including an injured male), Buffalos, a couple of cheetahs, three Rhinos in the hills (with binoculars), a few hyenas, and many other species of animals.
I got lucky that it didn’t rain during 99% (rained less than 1 hour total) of my time game driving, even though May is rainy season. My gamble paid off, as the reserve was not crowded, and, at times, felt like we were the only ones there.
I would NOT have blamed Lenchada safaris had it rained the entire time, obviously.
Thank you Solomon, Joseph, and everyone else. 5 stars.

Excellent tour featuring great organization, good food, nice group of people, and fantastic guide.
The tour with Lenchada Safaris was great overall. John, our tour guide was absolutely fantastic, he was very friendly, organized the trip well, and went above and beyond to make sure we get as close to the animals as possible in a safe way. The food and organization were both good. Lenchada Safari made it possible for us to stay at a different camp than originally included in the tour. We booked a three day Safari and were given the option to visit a Masai village without extra charge on the third day. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because we were charged an extra 10 Dollars for pickup from the Airport in Nairobi which was not communicated in advance.

Good tour operator
Our wonderful guide Richard showed us all the beauty of Kenya and a lot of animals. And of course, thanks to Richard, we saw the big five. Best guide!

Very easy and great to work with! Always on time and communicative. Nice can as well.
We had a magical safari experience! We did 4 days total, 3 of which were in the Masai Mara! We saw 4/5 of the big 5 and it’s so surreal being on safari. But now I know it’s absolutely one of my favorite thing! Richard, our driver, was incredibly great with the locals as well and you can tell he cares about these communities. Overall, one of the best experiences of my life!

Excellent
We were traveling as a team of 7 people from the Republic of Belarus.
Lenchada Safaris operator provided all services they promised to us - food, drinking water, night stay at hotels, car with professional driver(see special thanks for him at the end of the review), game drives and professional driver/guide.
Stay at the Massai Mara Lenchada camp was espessialy good. The camp is atmospheric place with very friendly host people.
Average quality of all services was good.
The car(Toyota Land Cruiser) we were traveling on was excellent. It was reliable and comfortable.
VERY SPECIAL THANKS to our driver/guide EVANS on a big LAND CRUISER JEEP.
He was truly professional(both as a driver and as a guide), patient, calm and very charismatic. We felt safe with him. He was always on time, always in great mood, never rushing us, helpful, told us interesting facts about animals and their life. Together with him we chased the leopard, saw rhino, lions, even hyenas having lunch in front of the car. Important to notice that Evans was the guide who could predict where an animal would go and park his car right in the place where animal would come so we saw many of them right in front of the car. We saw all big 5 with him which is fantastic!
