Fantastic! - Just returned from 4 day Masai Mara and lake Nakuru park tour and wow! This trip exceeded all our expectations! We stayed 2 nights in Lenchada tourist camp and although basic (remember this a budget trip) the beds were clean and comfortable, the food was more than adequate and the staff were great. We spent 1 night in Buraha Zenoni hotel for day in Nakuru park. This hotel was far better than expected , great food, good clean bed and fantastic shower! However, what truly made this trip spectacular was our driver and guide, Evans. He was amazing! Fantastic guide and very safe and experienced driver. We would have no hesitation in recommending this trip. Big thanks to Evans😀

WHAT A BEAUTIFULL EXPERIENCE!!! - We are 4 friends who have decided to spend our holidays in Kenya for the first time in August 2024! After various searches we booked the Safari through the Lenchada tour operator, organizing a group safari (economic accommodation) 4 days Masai Mara and one day Lake Nakuru. But our driver gave as the possibilty to stop also in lake Naivasha during the road to Nakuru. We have just finished our safari and I can confirm that our guide, Peter Kapino, immediately proved to be very professional and respectful both towards us and towards the animals and nature. He took us around the park far and wide allowing us to admire all the animals of the savannah, we saw all the big 5 and the ugly 5 with him. Peter told us many curiosities about the animals and the park itself, also he is a number 1 driver, he drove the landcruiser like a real driver. Despite the various dirt roads and waterways, he never got stuck with his jeep. As for accommodation, we stayed at Lenchada Camp during the nights we spent at the Masai Mara, a basic tented camp with good food, near one of the main entrances to the park. We spent the night at Nakuru at the Hill Court hotel, a very nice hotel. I highly recommend both Lenchada as a tour operator and especially Piter Kapino as a driver and safari guide.

11/10 safari experience with the wonderful Peter Kapino!!! - Peter Kapino was an amazing tour operator. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most amazing safari experience and to ensure that we saw the big 5 up close and personal! He also provided us with interesting facts about the animals, the land and the culture in Kenya. I have learnt so much in the last for days. Peter is a phenomenal driver and even managed to help other safari cars who were stuck in the mud! 11/10 experience and I could not recommended him more!

Great safari with excellent guide - We had an amazing time and saw so much wildlife including 2 close up lion encounters and a cheetah sighting! The accommodation was good and the food was excellent. Our guide Evans was fantastic. The whole tour was well organised and exactly as advertised. The Masia village visit was worthwhile. (But tip, the 'lion's teeth' on the necklaces are not real!) Highly recommend Lenchada for your budget safari.

Best Safari with Dickson from Lenchada Safaris - The safari I went on with my boyfriend was simply amazing! Our guide Dickson led us through the stunning scenery and shared his extensive knowledge of the wildlife with us. We saw a variety of animals in their natural habitat, including majestic elephants, elegant giraffes and impressive lions. The organization was excellent and Dickson made sure we felt safe and enjoyed every minute. This safari was definitely an unforgettable experience that we would love to repeat! Thank you so much to Dickson, the best guide of all!

Amazing Safari experience - I picked the 4 day Safari to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru and i am really satisfied with the really unique experience that we had watching wildlife in their natural environment and learning a lot of things about Kenya and the animals!! Our guide was Julius who was an amazing guide always in the mood to explain everything and doing everything he can to ensure we have the best experience in the Safari, despite the bad weather that we encountered we managed to see the big 5 of the animals with us being in the best spot possible to take the best photos! I absolutely recommend anyone visiting Kenya doing this Safari with Lenchada and Julius as the guide!

Well rounded budget safari - 4/5 Went on four day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari. Solo female traveler. Safari was awesome. Caleb was the driver for Masai Mara. He was friendly and appeared to be well experienced. He made sure to stop and show several animals and at a very close distance. Not a dull moment with him. Mostly good communication with Alex but he was not reachable when the airport pick up driver suddenly decided to transfer me to another driver half way to Masai Mara. He demanded and made me pay the money enroute instead of when we reached the park as Alex said . This got me worried. Alex was not reachable to clarify. It worked out okay in the end. There were other times in this trip where the plan was not communicated at the start and I was transferred between vehicles, or driven a longer route to accommodate other travelers. It would be much better if this is informed to a traveler at least at the start of the day. My flight got delayed upon arrival and Alex arranged for a special pick up for an extra cost but unfortunately never refunded me the cost of Masai Mara park entrance fee for the day I missed. I didn’t ask. Last day, airport drop off was part of the trip but the driver from Nakuru dropped me off in Nairobi downtown. Another driver asked for some money to take me to the airport. I paid. Budget tents in Masai Mara I felt are a bit too cheap. No charging outlets, food is quite mediocre, no lights in the tent after a certain time, shower/toilet are bad. Someone I met at breakfast felt the same way. Go for a better lodging if you can afford. Lake Nakuru hotel room and food were pretty good however. All in all , I am satisfied with the safari and most importantly felt safe as a solo female traveler. Taking away one star for poor communication about transfers, lack of park entrance fee refund and charging extra airport drop off charge.
