Every person is knowledgeable and professional and OUTSTANDING. We interacted with many employees.
Every member of the team is excellent. The drivers first class. The jeeps in good shape and with pop up ceilings so all can see. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and know so very much about all the animals it was quite impressive. I would only use them on future trips.

Gifts of the Kalahari: an experience in the experience
We are a family with 2 girls (17 and 14 years old) and we spent 11 days in Botswana with Lucky and his team (Marusa, Jacob, Norman). We really appreciated their job. Marusa, a great Chef, I couldn't believe what he managed to cook in such a difficult situation. Jacob a very nice person ready to help and solve whatever. Norman great as well. A special team, never tired, always smiling.
Lucky ... our guide. Where to start from: he knows the bush, he knows the animals, he knows the tourists. So he knows very well his job and it's very clear that he loves it. I think that this is the secret.
But let's start from the beginning: the definition of the safari. He was patient and polite also after 20 emails I wrote him before leaving.
During the safari, he feels the bush: the rumors, the bird's sound, the movements in the grass, the tracks. He knows very well animal's behaviour. He knows where to go, where to stop for a picture, the best place to stay when 5 jeeps are close the lions. He wants the best for its clients and he knows what the clients want. He's incredible with birds as well and I'd also strongly suggest him for photographic safari. I'd also strongly suggest for families: your sons will live much more than a safari.
Me, my husband and my girls will never, ever, forget the evenings at the fire when Lucky was telling us the stories about him and his uncle in the bush. Lucky is not a bushmen (he never lived in the bush), but his uncle was a bushmen. With no doubt I'd say that Lucky is a "bushmen inside". My daughter wrote down his stories in her diary...
These 11 days staying with them, were an experience inside an experience. I suggest you to go and be ready to fully live it.

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
