Experience of a Lifetime! - Incredible does not describe it. Words cannot describe it but I will try... It was everything you could ask for and more! Saw 4 of the big 5 only because I was on the 3 day.. the 4 day one you should see rhinos. Saw everything in between Several lions.. giraffes, elephants, zebras, antelope.. saw a hunt and k*ll from hyenas. Saw a hunt start for lions and the cheetah hunt aftermath. Went to the great migration area and saw hippos and crocodiles. Experience the Maasai Village. Sat and had tea with the cheif's son! My tour guide Jeff was absolutely amazing!! He catered to my requests.. educated us on what was going on with the animals and provided information we weren't aware of. He kept us safe.. was so kind, calm, took some pictures for me and didn't bother me when I was a little tired. The budget camp was nice. Bed was comfortable, had a bathroom and shower in each tent. They fed us.. the Maasai people guarded us. There was hot water, a bar.. staff was awesome. Protip: Lights go out at 10pm for the Lenchada camp so bring a flash light if you don't want to use your phone and an extra battery pack for your phone. I can go on and on about the variety of animals we saw but it is hearty. The price is right.. for this priceless experience you will not regret it. Be sure to gift your driver. He won't ask or anything but believe me it will be well deserved. Attached aren't the best photos bc they are screenshots from my stories.. but believe you will be close enough to take all the great photos you need.

Wilson kept the car well maintained, clean and he drove safely throughout the trip. He was respectful and made stopovers wheneve - Wilson gave us a magnificent 3 day tour of the Maasai Mara. He was very enthusiastic and ready to help us spot animals in the wide Maasai Mara park. We were able to see multiple animals, and Wilson kept a professional outlook all through the safari. He was friendly and made very good conversations along the way.

Thank you for making this dream come true :) - This safari was one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide Solomon was wonderful - every day he went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable and most importantly gave us amazing opportunities and time to observe the animals. He had a knack for finding great viewing spots and staying just that little bit longer to experience a special moment. (He says it’s all luck, but I’m sure experience plays a part). He is always happy to chat and answer questions about the animals and environment, Kenyan culture and language - we learned some useful Swahili words! The combo of a day 1 evening game drive plus the full day game drive on day 2 felt like a lot of time to fully experience the park - it’s definitely a lot of driving but there’s always something interesting to appreciate. After I left I wish I could have stayed much longer though. We saw lions and elephants amazingly close up, multiple times. We also spent time with buffaloes and giraffes, and saw so many more types of animals than I was expecting - many types of antelopes/gazelles, warthogs (pumba!), baboons, zebras, hyenas, jackals, identified about 20 types of birds including eagles, crested cranes, vultures, and many many more. Unfortunately we didn’t find any leopards, cheetahs or rhinos, and due to the high rainfall there weren’t many hippos around but we saw a few, on the guided walk with a ranger at the river. The landscape is so beautiful and expansive I could stare at it for days. Solomon handled the muddy ground with skill and we never got stuck even with plenty of off-roading. Solomon also helped me organise a nature walk with one of the local Maasai, where I learned about some local plants on a nice morning stroll, along with the Maasai village visit on day 3. The Lenchada Camp was simple and comfortable, with friendly staff and simple tasty food. Apart from the generator in the morning and evening it was peaceful and quiet. Note that if you’re in the tent furthest down the hill then the hot water won’t reach you very hot. Some of our group stayed in the much more luxury Emayian Camp also nearby. Right from the first enquiry I found the Lenchada Safaris staff very helpful - Alex was prompt to respond to my queries and handled a last-minute change very smoothly. The pickup, payment and drop off staff were very efficient and friendly. This whole experience was just amazing, thank you so much!

Super exciting safari adventure! - We did a 3 day safari experience with Ali as our driver. We had such a amazing time, Ali is an excellent driver, friendly host and speed demon! If you're looking for safari with added excitement I absolutely recommend Ali as your driver. We saw all the animals you can hope for, plenty of lion action, baby elephants, giraffes and many more. Sometimes we were the first car there as Ali is always on the radio getting the information!
