Moses was amazing from start to finish! Would request him if I ever come back!
Great value for money. Alex was a great help to begin with the information and questions we had. The tour starts at 8am but collection from airport was pretty much anytime! We stayed in budget accommodation which was ok and you got what you paid for! The first 2 nights at Masai Mara are great just for the experience! Moses was fantastic on the safari, getting us up close to the animals and telling us so much information! Any question you had he would answer! We saw the big 5! The tent experience was good and Helen at Lenchada was lovely, so were the others! We visited the Masai village with George, who also was great and explained everything! We got to visit the Masai school too, which was fantastic! (Always give a small donation, they rely on this to keep the school going).
At Nakuru again Moses was great, so were the staff at the hotel - good facilities here! Loved Nakuru national park - again Moses shared his knowledge and we had an excellent time!
We stopped a few times along the way and had lunch etc, good for souvenirs!! We had all meals throughout the tour! Mainly rice and chicken, but good meals!
Upgrade to the jeep, do not do the bus unless it’s private! The jeep is a much more realistic experience! Also ask for Moses!!

Joseph is very experienced and understanding. He was a great guide overall and I have no complaints.
Good value. The food was the same everyday, but for a budget safari the quality of the actual drives in the parks was amazing

Jonny is the absolute best, we've been so well looked after by him!
We have been on the 6-day safari with Lenchada and Jonny has been our fantastic guide!
The first 2 nights we spent at Lenchada Eco Camp, it's a nice space just outside the Massai Mara reserve. The staff are really friendly and the tent had its own toilet, however it is a budget camp with limited electricity access. On the game drives themselves, Jonny made sure to get us the best views of all the animals. We saw lions, cheetah (with cubs), buffalo, giraffes, zebra and a hyena eating - all in the first day!
The second game drive, we were up early and we were taken out into the wild where we saw plenty of the animals mentioned before as well as elephants and hippos! We even got to see part of the great migration of wildebeest, again Jonny made sure we had the best views which we really appreciate.
Day 3 we travelled to our accommodation for Lake Nakuru, Jonny gave us a choice to stop by Lake Naivashna on the way, so we did. We're so pleased that we did this because we got to have a boat ride and walk alongside zebra and giraffes. Then when we finished, we were taken to our accommodation for the night. The accommodation for the night in Nakuru was good, as it was a hotel room with a hot shower and more food options.
After the Lake, Jonny took us all the way down to Amboseli ready for the last 2 days of our trip. Hats off to Jonny, he's done so much driving and been so fantastic, all with a smile still. He made sure we had plenty of bathroom breaks throughout with places to buy coffee/snacks (which we recommend bringing)
Day 5 we went into the Amboseli reserve. We saw a baby elephant which was only a few days old and we even got to see 3 lionesses with 5 cubs! Jonny said that it's very rare to see lions here, but he managed to get us front row seats again.
Day 6 is tomorrow, we've got an early morning game drive before being taken back to Nairobi. Overall, it's been an incredible experience and would recommend to those looking for a budget friendly safari.
Thank you!

Wonderful trip in Kenya
This is our first time in Kenya, and when I was in China, I contacted this travel agency via email. It was very good and the response was very timely. We traveled for a total of six days to three national parks, all of which were worth visiting. Our driver and guide, John, was a very enthusiastic person who always smiled. He helps us a lot, driving is tiring every day, but he still often tells us where the animals are, his physical strength and eyesight are very good. Highly Recommend him to everyone!!!

Jeff was very knowledgable and attentive
We booked a 5 day Safari online from the UK. Everything was plain sailing. We were picked up from our hotel before getting aboard our jeep. Jeff was our tour guide for our trip to Masai Mara, two lakes and another national park. We saw lots of different animals across the 5 days. Jeff is a great tour guide and was exceptionally kind and caring, especially when one of us was feeling unwell. He answered all of our questions and told us interesting facts while on the drive.

An experience to remember
We were absolutely excited about the safari tour. The booking experience with Alex was so seamless and he replied to our questions in no time. Our guide Geeman was the best guide we could‘ve asked for. He was very familiar with the park and knew where exactly to spot animals (especially the wild cats) and constantly provided us interesting facts about all the animals. I am happy to recommend Lenchada.
