6-day group safari: July 2024 - We went on safari with Lenchada for 6 days as a group.
An unforgettable experience!
Our driver and guide Stanley was very professional.
He always did his best to allow us to get the best photographs of animals. We also thank him for his many explanations of animal life and reserves.

Amazing Lenchada tour with Wilson Mutua and the big five. - We had an amazing week!
Our tour was planned well by Lenchada (thanks Alex). The itinerary and overnight locations they proposed were spot on for our expectations.
The price they offered was very competitive.
Email conversation during the planing process and during the tour was easy and super responsive.
Our guide Wilson Mutua did a wonderful job.
Whether it was setting the right priorities, spotting the animals (i.e. big five after 2 days) or dealing with any other of our requests - Wilson had the answer.
He gave us a great time and did the best he could to go far beyond what we had hoped for.
His timing and his driving skills were always great. Wilson told us a lot about the african landscape and wildlife. Even for changing a domestic flight Wilson stepped up and called the airline for us.
He just did the best job.
Bottom Line:
We would book Lenchada and Wilson Mutua any day of the week again.

Nice budget safari experience - The first thing I would say is if you’re open minded and have a go with the flow flexible persona, then I think you will have a nice time on this safari! And thanks to our guide WILSON for making this an easy solo travel experience that I will remember and always getting us the best view of the animals.
We saw so many amazing animals (4/5 of the big five!) and Wilson always helped us to get a good shot of the animals. I was truly blown away with seeing the elephants up close and also so many cute baby animals. Wilson was a very skilled driver (which you will come to super appreciate once you fully take in Kenyan roads). We did not get stuck once (writing this on the 5th night so I’ll cross my fingers for the last day haha) while Wilson was receiving calls/radio that other drivers were stuck frequently. I was particularly impressed with his driving in the dark skills and his driving on the Maasai Mara roads which are incredibly bumpy and rough it’s hard to explain you’ll have to see. Wilson was a hard worker and always went above to make the experience memorable and a bit more relaxing for example we stopped a lot for snack/drink or toilet which helped break up the really long drives. (As an aside if you’re wondering if you need to bring toilet paper in your purse I would say no although I always did just in case no matter where I travel, but definitley hand sanitizer as not all bathrooms had water or soap). Also the car was comfortable and I liked that you could stand up because the roof came up). Everyone I interacted with was so friendly and welcoming so you will feel at ease even if you’re there alone you’ll have plenty of time to socialize with others
All in all I feel good recommending this safari to those who are looking for their next interesting animal adventure!

Better than expected! - Everything went great! Dennis our tour guide was fantastic. Was a bit nervous at first booking the tour back in the USA and finding the right company in Kenya. Once I was picked up in Nairobi, everything worked out perfectly. The budget accommodations were better than expected with private toilets in the tents and electricity.

Awesome trip !!! - I have to admit, the excitement of this trip continues to this day. It still feels incredibly exciting when we get in the Safari and witness many wild animals moving, sleeping and fighting less than two metres away from us.
Mr Evans was our guide and driver for the seven days. My boyfriend and I both agree that Mr Evans played a key role in making our trip a superb experience, Evans is a very experienced guide and was able to lead us to the various animals without any problems. During the seven days we saw lions, leopards, black rhinos, white rhinos, elephants, giraffes, hippos, baboons, monkeys, flamingos, zebras and a wide variety of deer and birds. On the penultimate day of the trip we were also surprised to see baby lions and lion families! They were less than a metre away from us, a moment I should remember for the rest of my life. From the beginning Alex helped us plan a perfect itinerary that gave us the opportunity to visit four national parks in one week, and Evans was very considerate of us during the trip, making us feel comfortable and enjoy our trip to Kenya. We felt that the amount of animals we could see in Kenya depended a lot on the experience of the guider. Therefore, if you are also planning to visit Kenya, we highly recommend Mr Evans and this tour company.

A very nice experience - Communication, service and reliability as well as value for money was great!
I would definitively recommend the 6-Day Budget Safari, we did with Lenchada Safaris, to everyone who is interested in seeing many animals.

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!!!
