Superlative Safari Experience
My wife and I booked a 7 Day Safari to Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli through Lenchada Safaris. Our experience was EXTRAORDINARY! We arrived in Nairobi on Saturday and had booked a day trip to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage for Sunday. Our driver was at our hotel on-time to take us to Sheldrick, but because we were early for the park opening, he took us to the Giraffe Conservatory first. It was a wonderful added excursion and allowed us time with the giraffes before we headed to Sheldrick. Sheldrick is another extraordinary experience and we highly recommend visiting their operation. On Monday we were picked up by our wonderful safari guide and driver, Isaac. We traveled with six other people to the Lenchada Safari Camp just outside the Masaai Mara Game Park. The safari camp was more than we had expected and our tent had an en-suite toilet and shower. The camp has electricity for three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening. Each tent has solar lights as well. It was "Glamping" at its finest. The game drives over the next three days were unbelievable. Isaac knew all of the areas to go into to find the Big 5 game animals. We spotted cape buffalo by the thousands, lions (male, female and adolescent), a leopard with its kill in a tree, elephants, and the elusive black rhino. The Great Migration had started in the Masaai Mara and we were treated to views of thousands of wildebeest and zebras. Isaac knew all of the animals and imparted much knowledge concerning all of the species. We made our way to the Mara river and saw crocodiles and hippos, galore. We added on a visit to a Masaai village and were not disappointed. The village is not a tourist trap, it is an actual village were a tribe of about 200 Masaai live and raise cattle. We also visited a local primary school, which was very humbling.
We traveled to Lake Nakuru on day 4 and stopped for a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The boat ride was another very nice add-on. We saw hippos and many bird species. We stayed in a nice hotel for the evening in Lake Nakuru and had a nice meal. The game drive the next morning was very successful as we were able to spot and get close to white rhinos, as well as more lions, elephants, and many different antelope and gazelle species. We also saw thousands of flamingos.
We departed Lake Nakuru for Amoboseli on day 5. The drive is about 250 miles and it is long but takes you through small towns and was very interesting. We were treated with a view of Mt. Kilamanjaro as we got to Amboseli. The mountain is usually not visible due to cloud cover, so we were very excited to get the view. The safari camp at Amboseli was also very nice and had electricity 24/7. Each cabin has an en-suite toilet and shower. The tents do not have en-suite facilities, but there are toilets and showers available for those quarters. The game drives in Amboseli were once again extraordinary. We saw so many elephants!
It is difficult to put into words just how wonderful our experience was on this trip. We are seasoned travelers and have been all over the world. This safari is at the top of our most favorite trips list! Our driver/guide, Isaac, made the whole experience wonderful and was very professional and friendly. Lenchada made the booking easy and provided everything that we expected and more.

Everything on point!
My friend and I had am amazing experience at Masai Mara with Axis. Everything went super smoothly, from the pick up to the drop off. Our driver John was simple the best, great sense of humor, great costumer service and very respectul of the park. He would make sure you would see the best there was to see, while always respecting the environment. We stayed at Lenchada Camp which was really nice. My only recommendation for the camp would be to have a chill-out place beyond 10:00 pm

Awesome safari experience, and an amazing guide
African Sermon Safaris treated us exceptionally well. We took five day safari to Lake Nakuru and the beautiful Masai Mara. Daniel was patient with our questions and always very responsive while providing much more information than we needed.I truly can't say enough good things about James, our guide. He was waiting for us at the airport, even when our flight was delayed for more than two hours and we quickly found him to be very friendly, and an outstanding driver. He was polite, answered our countless questions about Kenya, the Maasai, animals, and much more. He was always in time and we thought he had our best interests at heart so that we could have a great safari time. Not only did he know very well all the places we visited, but his ability to spot animals in the bush and thickets was amazing. We were so lucky to see all the Big 5 including many more animals and birds.
We had standard accommodations and stayed at Sopa Lodges in Nakuru and Masai Mara, which we found to have nice facilities with friendly and helpful staff. The food was very good and fresh, plentiful and well presented.Overall, we had an extremely great experience and can only say wonderful things about the company.
If we ever decided to do this again, I would still use them and for sure request James as our tour guide.

Absolutely our greatest experience so far.
Me and my wife celebrated the honeymoon in zanzibar and ended the trip with a fantastic 5 day safari group tour. Absolutely the best trip in our life. There is nothing bad to say about the staff, they were professional, Daniel was service minded and arranged everything superb, our chef cooked great food and last but not least our driver Elias, very safe in his driving and talented in his role as a guide.

Great safari!
We are really enthusiastic about how our safari was managed. Booking has been really easy and each topic we discussed with Patricia was clearly covered. Safari was customized according to our request. At our arrival our driver and guide Anderson was outside the airport waiting for us; he's been a wonderful fellow for our one-week safari.
All aspects of safari was complying to what we had agreed during booking phase. We've visited masai mara, lake naivasha, amboseli and tsavo west. All accomodations were very good to us and the food was ok too.
I reccomend to rely on National Word safaris Kenya to arrange the awesome experience a safari can be!!!
