Unforgettable trip
5/5

We had Andrew for our safari. He was a very careful driver and stopped whenever we wanted to take a photo. When he got any tips from other drivers about sightings of animals he would take us there immediately. We had seen a large herd of elephants crossing in front of our jeep. Then an hour later another herd of zebras crossing! Just when we couldn't believe our luck, a lion walked gracefully in front of us. The experience was much better than what was hoped for. Everything was great until we were told about the demonstratons around the county. On the last day of our safari, Lenchada instructed Andrew to take us back to Nairoibi early in the morning at 5.45am so that we could arrive at the capital Nairobi before situations got worse . There was concern on the safety passing some townships on the way to Nairobi too. Leaving early in the morning to avoid unforeseen trouble on the 5 hour drive to Nairobi, but it also meant that we had to miss an early visit of the national park. We were happy with the arrangement as we had spent a whole day inside the national park the day before and to us safety was always the top priority. Andrew did make two stops for us to take some amazing photos of the sunrise against the Mount Kilimanjaro. When we were getting near the city centre in Nairobi, all the main roads were empty and we could see people gethering. We made it into the hotel just in time as and an hour later, there were crushes between demonstrators and police and tear gas were everywhere in the city centre. If We had not been back an hour earlier, we could not have been able to go anywhere near the city centre and our hotel. We are extremely grateful that the tour company Lenchada and Andrew the guide got us back safely. We loved our safari holiday and we hope we could come back again to beautiful Kenya.

Once in a lifetime experience!
5/5

I had booked a 3 day 2 night Safari experience and had one of the best times of my life. I got picked up and dropped on time. I had LeRoy with me as our driver and guide. He was just amazing. His knowledge and love for the Mara was very evident. He knew all the hot spots for the animals, knew the history, the mannerisms and kept us informed throughout. He gave us the best viewings and got close to the animals without disturbing them so that we can get some good pictures. I am vegetarian so he kept a check of me and made sure I got something to eat. It was fascinating to drive around the mara, see the animals up close and the scale of it all.

Amazing!
5/5

I had the best time in this safari! No words can describe this trip! I have spent 5 days in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha. I felt like this was a month of experiences!

Dikson was my guide/driver and he was the best! He spotted all big 5 (leopards are very rare)! He explained us everything- I learned so much!

Also, I had the opportunity to become Dikson’s co-driver;) I was in the front with him spotting animals. But also having conversations about the culture/tribes in Kenya.

I highly recommend this agency and especially Dikson!

A tip: take the comfort package! You will pay somewhat more but will stay in great hotels!

Wonderful 4 day trip Masai Mara
5/5

Everything worked very well. We had a lot of problems with the flight company and we arrived in Kenia 2 days later than what we expected. But Collins did everything to adjust our safari to the new plan. He made everything very easy for us. Wycliffe was our driver and guide the 4 days and it was perfect. He showed us a lot of wildlife, made us feel great and explained everything very clearly. Totally recommendable. The food was also good, both in the camp and on the game drives. Thank you for the experience.

Very very nice 👍
5/5

This was my first trip to Africa, and I completely fell in love with this continent! The tour was absolutely incredible – breathtaking landscapes, mesmerizing nature, and, of course, the thrilling encounters with wild animals.

One of the most unforgettable moments was the safari itself. Just imagine – elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, a whole pride of lion cubs, and even graceful cheetahs passing just a few meters away from our vehicle! It’s impossible to put into words – seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, observing their behavior, and listening to the sounds of the savanna… It felt like being fully immersed in the wild!

The organization of the tour was top-notch. Our driver-guide (Johny Jakson) was not only a true professional but also incredibly friendly, attentive, and responsive. He always took care of our comfort, shared fascinating insights about each animal, their habits, and their habitat, and carefully planned the routes to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible. The vehicle was always stocked with cold drinking water – a seemingly small detail, but an essential one in the hot African climate.

I also want to highlight the accommodations where we stayed overnight. Every place was cozy, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, clean and comfortable rooms. After an eventful day, it was such a pleasure to return to a place where we could relax, unwind, and enjoy the stunning African scenery.

And the food – it was simply delightful! Every meal was delicious, fresh, and filling, with a touch of local flavors that made the experience even more immersive.

I sincerely thank the company for the flawless organization of this journey. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and their professionalism made this tour truly unforgettable! If you dream of a safari full of adventure, emotions, and unspoiled beauty – I highly recommend this company. They truly deliver an exceptional experience!

The program was ok, we watched lots of animals, but it would be fine if you change the jeep, ours was very old and dirty!!

Absolutely!Just choose this company!Alex and Leroy very good
5/5

I found Lenchada's boss Alex from this website. He is a very warm-hearted boss. He provided me with a lot of conveniences. The accommodation is very close to the park, the price is reasonable, and it is pleasant! Leroy is our tour guide. With his excellent driving skills and eyesight, he took us to find all the "Big Five" on the third day. There is no regret. The itinerary is reasonable. It was a very happy trip. If I come to Africa again, I will choose this company again.

THANKS to our driver, James, we saw all the beauty of Africa and the diversity of the animal world. James loves his job and cares about tourists. He is a good driver. Thank you.
