Great camp, delicious food but guide was just a driver and did not explain anything.
Good communication and very punctual. Excellent food throughout especially at the camp. No water was provided however even though this was supposed to be included. Beautiful camp but guide was utterly useless - very good driver but he did not explain anything at all so really disappointing.

Very trustworthy and correct partner!
June 2022 with Lenchada from the Top of Mount Kenya to the wildest places in the National parks of Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Hells Gate and Amboseli. Perfect organization and not a single mistake for a 14 days. Very trustworthy and correct partner!

Best views and VIP treatment at a budget price!
We were looking for a 5 or 7 day safari trip for our family of three (2 adults and a 10 yo) at a reasonable price. I've found Lenchada safaris operator while googling and sent them a request via WhatsApp. They were replying to all of my questions explaining the differences. We agreed on a 7 day tour including Maasai-Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and the boat ride, Hell's gate National park and Amboseli national park. We had a 4x4 Toyota Landcruiser jeep with an open rooftop and wi-fi available on board which was amazing!
But the most important thing, we had THE MOST AMAZING guide - Moses! 🤩🤩🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Moses went far and beyond in getting us to the most desirable spots to see the wild animals. We got the Big Five and The Ugly five in just 2 days, the pictures we made were surreal, we couldn't believe our eyes how close we got to lions, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, leopard, cheetahs, elephants and etc.
Every new location we visited was worth it and offered a completely different experience and views, that were mesmerising.
With Moses we were always the first to get to the best spot, sometimes there were noone around, just as and the wildlife. He made sure we are as close as possible to see the best scenes of the wild.
I think our pictures speak for themselves and keep in mind we took them onto our smartphones, no professional cameras, that's how close we were to the animals.
If you're still in doubt whether to book with Lenchada - don't be, BOOK ASAP! These guys know how to make your safari trip worth it! I'm sure all their guides are knowledgeable, but if you're getting Moses as your guide, rest assured - you're getting to see each and every animal that is out there! Moses works in the safari business for almost 15 years already and you can tell that, he knows a lot of facts about wildlife and tells them along the way!
👍🏻 We are 100000% satisfied and definitely recommend Lenchada safaris to anyone travelling to Kenya.
💵 P.S. they offer different options, not only budget, but comfort and up, so it's only up to you and your wallet to decide. But on the budget ones we had, every stay was comfortable and the staff was very welcoming.
🏕 Our heart goes to Manjaro camp in Amboseli, top of the top stays we had! 🤩

All arrangements were perfect and our guide was superb!
We went with Lenchada safaris based on online recommendations and we were not disappointed! It is a very reasonably priced safari but all the arrangements were first-class and perfect. From hotel bookings, to all the meals through the 5 days, to transfers from hotel to safari and drop to airport, everything was managed very smoothly. Huge thanks to Alex and team for the great arrangements.
But what made our safari experience really wonderful was our excellent, knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide and driver Kikitu Douglas. He went well over and above, making sure we were able to see and experience everything that Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Nakuru had to offer. He always had a joke and a smile throughout the 4 days we spent in his car. Very thankful to Lenchada team and Kikitu for a really memorable 5 days in Kenya!

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.

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
