Unforgettable Safari with Lenchada Safaris - We planned our 6-day safari with Lenchada Safaris, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, everything is well-organized, seamless, and truly exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Ken, is absolutely fantastic. He is knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor, which made the long drives enjoyable. His expertise in tracking wildlife meant we didn’t miss a thing - we were lucky enough to see the Big Five within the first few days in Masai Mara and Nakuru. Every game drive has been exciting, and Ken always makes sure we have the best views and plenty of time to take in the experience. The Land Cruiser is comfortable, spacious, and perfect for game viewing. Having it really enhanced the safari experience, especially on the rougher terrains. So far, Masai Mara and Nakuru have blown us away with their beauty and wildlife, and we are already looking forward to Amboseli to complete the journey. We would highly recommend Lenchada Safaris for anyone considering a safari in Kenya. If you get the chance, definitely ask for Ken as your guide - he truly ensures the trips to be unforgettable.

Experience of the lifetime - We joined the Lenchada safari 6 day tour and our driver is Dickson. Dickson a very knowledgeable guide and he gave us some very valuable information about the animals' behavior and complex social structures in animal groups. He is like a funny version of David Attenborough. With a lot luck but largely thanks to Dickson , We saw what we hope to see like all the Big Five, but also encountered some incredible moments such as a group of 10 lions devouring a buffalo, a cheetah chewing up a gazelle , a crocodile hunting an baby hippo. Dickson responded to our requests and answer all our questions patiently. He safely navigated through bummy dirt roads and sharp corners. We were happy with the accomodations arranged by Lenchada. The places were clean and most importantly we always felt very safe. The food was nice and plentiful, even the lunch boxes were in quite a big portions. We had a wonderful time and it was an extraordinary safari experience with Lenchada..

The experience of a lifetime! - I started planning my trip about a half a year ago and had no idea how to find a good safari company. I spent a lot of time researching companies and stumbled upon Lenchada who had amazing reviews and are known to have great tour guides. Let me tell you they didn’t disappoint. They were very helpful with planning my trip and quick to respond when I had specific questions. I started my safari last week and it was the best thing I’ve experienced in my entire life, and that is solely thanks to my amazing tour guides, Ali. I spent 6 days with Ali, going all over Kenya. Ali is very knowledgeable about animals and the geography of Kenya/ the surrounding areas we spent time in. I can tell he loves his job and he is the best at what he does. On top of that, he is very professional in the sense that he accommodates for each of his clients specific interests. I asked a lot of questions and he made sure to answer them to the best of his ability. On top of that, he helped me with a lot of things such as setting up nature walks and cultural experiences. I told him that it was important for me to see the big 5 and he made sure that happened. A core memory that I’ll never forget was that he set up the perfect opportunity for me to take a super rare picture of a cheetah. That was amazing. He wasn’t just accommodating to me, but to everyone on the safari. Others were interested in other animals such as birds and giraffes, and he made sure their needs were met. I even became a little interested in birds thanks to that. With all the time driving, I was always having a good time laughing and sharing stories with Ali and other members of the safari. I also felt very safe at all times. This was an experience I’ll never forget, thanks to Lenchada. I can’t recommend it any more. This is a very good company for first time safari goers and experienced ones!

Amazing - I booked a 6-day tour that included visits to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and concluded with Amboseli. As promised, I was picked up from my hotel on the first morning and taken to the office to complete the payment. The journey began with our driver, Francis, who was friendly and spoke excellent English. In the various parks, Francis drove like a professional rally driver. The moment he heard on the radio about nearby wildlife, he skillfully navigated us to prime viewing spots. We were able to get remarkably close to giraffes, zebras, lions, lionesses, a leopard with her cub, and many more. In Masai Mara, we saw more animals than in any other park. At Lake Nakuru, we spotted three rhinos, and in Amboseli, we experienced a majestic early morning scene: hundreds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro as a breathtaking backdrop. The camps where we stayed were comfortable, and while the food was decent (nothing extraordinary), the overall experience was truly remarkable.

6 Day Safari - The safari itself was very good. Evans was a very good guide. We discovered a lot with him. On the other hand the Lenchada hotel was not at all in our expectations, a woman has been unpleasant for 2 days and it was not at all pleasant. Hotel not clean, unique meals without choice, no starter and no dessert is very mediocre. More electricity at 11pm and warm on demand. The picnic lunches were also horrible.

Great budget Safari! - I would have loved giving five out of five stars to the Lenchada Safari because the first 4 days, John our guide was fantastic. Very considerate. Very conscious of our safety and our comfort. Kept on the radio so that we were able to spot some obscure animals. The reason that I did not give a five-star was because I was handed off to a second group after the fourth day with a guide named Stephen who was not as communicative or conscientious to our comfort or our needs. However, with John we saw the big five and I lived a lifelong dream! Be prepared. this was a budget Safari and you get what you pay for. Most all of my better photos are on my camera and I'm doing this from my phone but even using a phone a lot of the pictures were great. But if you have a long lens, bring it. That being said, the food was pretty good and I felt pretty safe in the camps. For me that is all I needed but others may want a bit more. I loved it!!!

Unique animal diversity - We opened in Sep. 24 undertook a 6-day tour at Lenchada Safaris. Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All parks have their own character, the animal diversity is fascinating and unique. Unfortunately, the operator only informed us about price increases 2 weeks before the start of the safari and only after request. The communication went smoothly. Lenchada and Jokey Tours are probably the same operator. Maasai Mara : large herds, many wildcats and the impressive Mara River with hippos and crocodiles. Accommodation : Lenchada camps. The tent was clean and spacious. The plant has already come of age. There were no chairs on the terrace and the dining area was an imposition. No “bonfire feeling” arose here. Lake Nakuro : many waterfowl, rhinos, monkeys and buffalo. Accommodation : Standard hotel in Buruha Zenoni Hotel not far from the park entrance. Amboseli : impressive scenery with Kilimanjaro in the background. Big herds of elephants. That's great. Accommodation : very, highly recommended the Manjuro Camp. Super friendly, good tents and good food. Travel times / driver : The distances between the parks are very large. The main traffic routes are jammed. Travel times of 6-8 hours are the rule. Our driver drove extremely carefully, but was quite terse. Conclusion : The parks are really uniquely beautiful. Lenchada Safaris is only recommended to a limited extent. There is a look wherever savings can still be made. For example, a low-quality lodge was approached without agreement (but we were able to successfully refuse). You should have everything confirmed in writing beforehand.
