The grassy plains and regular rainfall supports a huge population of herbivores, in turn attracting many predators. All three big cats are relatively easy to see.

A Dream Come True! - Amazing experience, and a dream come true! This tour packs in a lot, covering the 3 top National Parks in Kenya, giving you a great chance of spotting the Big 5. Accommodation, whilst basic (it is a budget tour), was clean and we were kept well fed. Finally, a big shout out to our fantastic guide, Stanley. Very experienced, knowledgeable, kept us well informed and we definitely felt we were in excellent hands. Stanley - you are the best!

Great Safari thanks to our guide James Gichina - We enjoyed this safari a lot, thanks to our guide and driver James Gichina. He got us the best spots for observing all the animals. We saw the Big Five and many more. He also gave information about the animals. We joined a safari and were 6 to 8 people in one jeep. The information before the trip with Lenchada was good, but they tried to increase the price just before the trip started. There were some changes in the schedule, mainly due to the fact that we traveled in high season and the tented camps were overbooked. We had to complain not to get downgraded too much. I hope the agency improves in the future and respects the schedule and price provided at booking. In general we got good value for our price. I would not recommend the boat trip and walking safari which we did during a stop between Masai Mara and Nakuru and paid 60€ extra.

Amazing experience! Highly recommended! - We just completed 7 days private tour with Lenchada, it was an amazing experience! Our guide Wilson knows well about the habitat of big five in the park, he drove to the most possible place to find them. It was an exciting experience of watching lions walking towards us, cheetahs chasing wildebeests, elephants and giraffes playing with their babies, hyenas wandering in the dusk. Wilson was also very knowledgeable about various animals' behavior, provided us with interesting information during the trip. We had a wonderful time of this tour! We would also like to mention that the Lenchada camp site in Mara is well equipped, exceeded our expectation. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend safari tour with Lenchada. We also like to thank Alex for answering all our question promptly during the communication stage. Btw, the company expect customer paying with cash, so if you want to use different option, please discuss with them earlier.

Awesome experience. - I really had a great experience going on a tour to masai mara, amboseli and other national parks in Kenya with the tour guide and our driver Dickson. He was very informative about all the national parks, wildlife and birds and a great driver and had a good time during the trip. He stopped at some of the coolest places during game drive to spot animals. Lucky to spot all the big 5 and others. It was an incredible trip. Thanks a lot to Dickson for making it all easy. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Well worthy tour with Lenchada Safaris - We joined tour "6-Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Safari on Landcruiser" starting from August 2, 2024. This tour was offered by Lenchada Safaris. We were very much satisfied with the entire tour, literally from the very beginning to the very end. The entire program was faithfully executed as described in TripAdvisor and other online platforms. On Day 1, we were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi. On Day 6, we were kindly dropped at Nairobi Airport so that we could continue our journey easily. During 6 days of safaris, our guide/driver John was certainly highly skillful in spotting animals and driving to the best positions to view them. We were able to see exciting wildebeests migrating  (although not seen crossing Mara River), rhinos, lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, various antelopes, birds (like elegant flamingos) , many elephants, zebras, girrafs, warthogs, hyenas etc. Our fantastic, breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro mountain with stretch of grass plain plus peaceful elephants, will remain in our mind for a long time. The lodging and food contitions were much better than what we expected. Basic water, washroom, shower,  electricity were adequate without any glitche. So called tent was actually like a spacious single house with private bathroom. All in all, we highly recommend this tour for anyone who has a dream of doing a safari in Africa. It was so interesting, enjoyable and rewarding. Our choice of Lenchada Safaris is a great one.

Best safari ever! - My wife and I did a private safari with Lenchada. Our guides were John and Evans. They both did an amazing job finding so many different types of wildlife for us to see. They were super knowledgeable, answered all of our questions as well as provided more. They also did an excellent job getting us close to the animals without disturbing them. We were surprised how successful our safari was - we saw the big 5 several times over and got excellent photos. We also saw so much more. Our guides were also very friendly, greeting us every morning at breakfast and asking us what we wanted to prioritize seeing that day. So great! We sent photos to our friends and families and now they want to go on a safari. We will make sure they book with Lenchada - it was a fantastic experience with fantastic guides. 10/10!
