4 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Budget Joining Safari

  Safari 2025  - We saw all the animals and it was an unforgettable experience. I was very satisfied and would definitely like to repeat this adventure again.

  Fantastic guide and awesome landscape with their animals  - I wouldn't have imagined a safari tour without our guide Dickson. He was showing us the best of Masai Mara. No words to describe the magnificent landscape and animals. You... read more must go to see it. It's the most beautiful experience that I had in my live. Thanks to Martha (Canken Tours) and Dickson for everything.

  Amazing experience, special thanks to our guide Calem!  - Had an amazing safari experience with Calem as our driver and guide. He managed to show us every single animal in the parks and gave us all the information about... read more them; he is also a master driver! we had so much fun and everything was perfectly organized. I joined solo but never felt alone, am grateful for everyone involved in this, thanks for the memories!

  Dickson best driver  - The safari is amazing, and dickson is the best driver and guide, we can see lot of animals with him. The three parks are very good Thanks a lot

  Perfect organisation, good accommodations, experienced driver  - We were able to see Lions, Cheetahs and even the Leopard. Different Natural environments in the parks we visited. Intense emotions with very close contact with the animals

The program has been perfectly done as planned through effective coordination, even if there are... read more some very small cracks, which are totally understandable, they were resolved in a time manner. I will strongly recommend Lenchada to friends.

  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... read more 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.

  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... read more 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!!!
