Professional from planning to execution - recommended! - I booked this safari directly online with Lenchada. The booking process was made easy by good advice. My personal wishes were taken into account. The Safai itself was a great experience. Our driver & tour guide Joseph made this tour perfect. He is a safe driver and has the necessary experience to track the wildlife. In addition, he took professional care of every single participant. Overall an impressive experience with Lenchada. Absolutely recommend!

A completely mesmerizing experience. - Had an exceptional and an unforgettable safari experience! From spotting all the big fives, to spotting cheetahs multiple times in just a day to seeing strolling leapord and the migrations, Masai mara is beautiful and full of wild life. Collins was always there to reply to our countless queries and emails and completely satisfied us everytime. We were a party of 12 and our guides Moses and Evans made sure we had an amazing time. They really wanted us to see everything. Extremely dedicated, knowledgable and friendly. They even picked us way earlier in the morning than the given time for game drives just to make sure we did not miss on anything and went above and beyond our expectations.Really good and luxurious accomadations with our preferred diet plans. Would highly recommend lenchada safaris to anyone one and everyone for a funfilled, hassle free and full of wild life safari adventure.

Safari experience 6 days - accommodation tented camps - We did this 6-day tour relying on Lenchada. We slept in tented camps in both the Masai Mara and Amboseli. We were entrusted to the driver Kikitu, a wonderful person as well as a great guide! He showed us as many animals as possible, even a hunting scene of a cheetah attacking a gazelle! We have seen the great migration, unique emotion! The tented camps are very basic but clean, cozy and safe (either mesh around the tents or Maasai/renger checking at night and during the day, I never felt in danger), plus we never found insects or dirt! It is an authentic experience and gives you unforgettable emotions! We thank Kikitu for their professionalism and Lenchada because even on their return despite it being Sunday and their office was closed they made us deliver our suitcases to the airport in 10 minutes (I recommend you check what date you return because on Sunday they are closed and there is a risk of not recovering any luggage left by them in storage)! I recommend this experience and I recommend it in tented camps to live 100% the safari experience and fully connect with nature!

wonderful time (thanks Dennis!) - We had a wonderful time. The safari was well organized, complete, and carefully planned in every detail. A special thanks to Dennis, our guide and driver: knowledgeable, friendly, and confident. His experience and professionalism made us feel safe and relaxed—something especially important when traveling in Kenya. Thank you, Dennis, for making our experience truly unforgettable! One small suggestion: clearer information on travel times between locations and sharing the names of the lodges in advance. In our case, they were all wonderful (especially Mountain View Camp in Amboseli)

Good safari experience with ken - We had an excellent experience with Ken as our safari guide in Kenya. He was incredibly precise and always punctual, which made everything run smoothly. Ken is friendly, approachable, and always willing to help with any request. His passion for his work truly shines through in every moment of the trip. He shared his deep knowledge of wildlife and the land with enthusiasm. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Fantastic experience! Five stars safari - What an incredible safari experience! We booked for a middle range safari. Everything exceeded our expectations — the lodges were stunning and so comfortable, the wildlife sightings were unforgettable, and our guide Ken was simply amazing. He always went the extra mile to position us in the perfect spot to see the animals up close. We couldn’t have asked for a better adventure! Thank you also to Alex that was very kind and really helpful.

Really amazing - The tour operator lenchada safaris has done an incredible job to guarantee the best experience in our life. Starting from the day of our arrival to nairobi, i had some problems to withdraw cash and Collins helped us in all the possible way never complaining and at the end we made it. Then most important the safari was amazing, this because of the experience and the dedication of Francis and Evans. Seriously, they are a very professional tour guide and the thing makes me understand how good they are, is because they were not happy if the luck wasn’t on our side and they tried in any way to settle us. Further, I felt a very bond between them and the other colleagues, and this, helped us to see all of the animals we dreamed about. Considering a lot of other companies before we started, I think this is the best company for quality/price and I highly recommend to everyone to choose lenchada safaris
