Absolutely!Just choose this company！Alex and Leroy very good
I found Lenchada's boss Alex from this website. He is a very warm-hearted boss. He provided me with a lot of conveniences. The accommodation is very close to the park, the price is reasonable, and it is pleasant! Leroy is our tour guide. With his excellent driving skills and eyesight, he took us to find all the "Big Five" on the third day. There is no regret. The itinerary is reasonable. It was a very happy trip. If I come to Africa again, I will choose this company again.

The driver adapted to our wishes but it had to be clearly formulated
We have learned little about animals and stories. The guide was very quiet it was often unclear what happened next

Amazing Safari with good comfort camp, vehicles, and staff, Recommended!
I recently went on a 3 day Safari of the Maasai Mara and had an amazing experience. I was amazed by all the animals we saw and the comfort of the vehicle and camp we stayed at (with luxury tents that make you feel like you are not camping, but just in a regular room). Our driver Ben was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. And Alex who helped me organize the tour was very attentive and quick to respond. I highly recommend you do your tour with Lenchada Safaris, they know what they are doing and give a great service at a very reasonable price!

Wonderful safari tour at a good price
We had a fabulous experience with Lenchada safari . We did a 5 day tour & loved everything about it . Our driver & guide Leonard was outstanding in his professionalism, knowledge, consideration & helpfulness . He helped us so much with photo, SIM card & toilet stops & was great company with lots of laughs . The tent camp , Matfarm & Taphae accomodation were cute & suitable. The breakfast & meals were wonderful with lots of meat &. vegetable choices at the buffet . The whole safari was smooth, hassle free & I highly recommend it .

Great safari experience!
Great first safari experience with Lenchada safaris and Andrew as our guide! He was super knowledgeable about the things we saw on our drive when we asked him questions. If you want to know something, just ask him!
The first day evening drive was my personal favorite. Throughout the trip, we saw tons of animals - elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, impalas, leopard, lions, cheetahs, hippos, and more! It’s important to remember that we’re in nature and it’s impossible to predict what animals you’ll see, so be nice to your guide and enjoy the ride through nature, regardless if you see big 5 or not :)
Lenchada camp was wonderful! Helen took care of us and helped us get hot water running when we had trouble - she was such a joy to chat with! The food at the camp was delicious and simple. Lots of beans/lentils and rice. Tented camps had an adjoining shower and bathroom.
Tiny cons (to be expected for a budget safari, not a big issue at all) : The packed lunch on the second day left a bit to be desired so I’d recommend bringing some extra food if you get hungry. Our safari vehicle had definitely seen better days, but it didn’t impact our trip too much.
Overall, would highly recommend this safari for budget travelers - it was WAY better than I expected and we had an unforgettable experience.

The tour operators is professional, Just booked it through a call.
James was our driver , I booked it through him over the phone & they picked me up the next day. It's a good value for money, the camps were nice.
Opting for 4x4 was a good decision & James gave a great trip of Masai Mara. <3

Great budget safari
This is a great budget safari for those who want a no frills experience where you are immersed in the Masai Mara park and Masai culture. I emailed frequently with the owner Alex before I arrived and he was very helpful! I signed up by myself but was added to a group of 5 others and we had a nice time together. Also, I’m very glad I chose the jeep 4x4 versus the mini van, as we had to help a few vans along the way that got stuck on the treacherous roads!
We spent a LOT of time out on safari-I was pleasantly surprised! Our guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and also did a good job of navigating the awful roads around the park. Masai village tour was included and was wonderful!
Lenchada camp is very basic but fine since you are basically just there to sleep. As a single female traveler, I felt very safe at the camp. Food is nothing fancy but flavorful and plentiful!
Suggestions: don’t drink too much water when you are at the Mara since there are basically no bathrooms; bring cash to the camp to buy beer, water, sodas or snacks. A flashlight is helpful for getting around the camp at night. The animals are noisy-earplugs are helpful at night. Bring layers especially if doing a safari in the colder months of June and July.
A few comments: meal times should be more frequent or we should be told to bring snacks. Most days we would leave the camp at 6am and eat lunch around 2pm, which was too long to wait for most of us. We were all starving well before lunchtime each day. Also, I didn’t like that the camp doesn’t provide any drinking water. The safari vehicle did have water but I also had to purchase bottled water at the camp. That seemed a bit strange to not have water available at meals or in the rooms.
All in all, it was a great experience and first safari for me.
