5-Day Kenya's Wildlife Gems: Mara, Nakuru & Naivasha Safari

Our guide, Caleb, made it possible to see the Big 5, also due this origin from a massai village. The tour is perfect for those who want to get the ultimate experience: low budget safari, get in contact with locals, e.g. Wit the life of the Massai and its community. Additionally, the guide was friendly and speaks well English and is able to tell you all the details. Moreover, we had a flat tyre because of the bad roads. The guide changed the tyre in 15 minutes. After every ride the guide cleaned the car from the in- and outside, so we started every day with a clean car. So you can relax and just enjoy the tour.

Overall an unforgettable experience. Got to see the big 5 and so many other animals. Only interesting ones we didn't see were the leopard and honey badger. Biggest shout out goes to the tour guide Joshua. He was there to answer all our groups question and told interesting facts about Kenya and animals. We loved that Joshua was able to tell about the culture and customs of Kenya, not just animal facts. Also he was very approachable and kind. During the short 5 day trip we built a friendship with the guide and the rest of the group. The schedule was packed, but that was a good thing. 2 days in Masai mara was definitely enough considering the lake Nakuru had a lot of the same animals. Nakuru had much prettier nature in my opinion. Accomodation was pretty good, a lot of the same food everywhere but I guess that is to be expected. I wouldn't change it. Out of all the cars we saw, the configuration of ours was the best with sliding windows and open roof. It provided a safe experience even when close to predators unlike some cars that rolled the whole side up. Good to know if you have back pain or similar is that the last 60 minutes or so to Masai mara from Nairobi is very bumpy and rough. It looked like they were building a better road, but consider that. Also roads in all national parks were quite bouncy. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Our 5-day safari through the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Lenchada Safaris was absolutely incredible — and amazingly affordable for the quality of the experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized: smooth transport, comfortable accommodations, and a well-paced itinerary that gave us the best possible chance to see Kenya’s stunning wildlife. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we hoped for — lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo, cheetahs, hippos, and so much more. Every day brought something new and unforgettable. A huge thank you to David, our fantastic guide. His deep knowledge of the animals, keen eye for spotting wildlife, and friendly personality made the whole experience even better. He always made sure we got the best views and photo opportunities — you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly safari without compromising on experience, Lenchada Safaris is the perfect choice. Professional, reliable, and passionate — this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure we’ll never forget! Highly recommended! 🦁🦒🦓🐘

Our experince at Lenchada Safari was amazing. We did 5 days safari to include Massai Mara, Nakuru & Naivasha. Food and accomodation was decent and comfortable for the budget safari. Our guide Peter Nding'ai (+254 724 759963) was exceptionally good and went out of the way to make sure we have the best experience. Peter was always proactive to take us to places where we could spot the animals with best views possible. Peter even took us to places well inside parks which was testament of his 7 years plus experience in safaris. We spotted all Big 5 and had wonderful experience in Massai Mara, Crescent Island (walking along animals) and Hell’s Gate Park (cycling). Things were smooth and well org by the Lenchada Safaris.

Our trip in Kenya was amazing, all credit to our guide Peter Nding'ai. He was resourceful and was keenly helping us so that we make the most of all the game drives. I would definitely recommend him as a guide to anyone that wants the best experience of the Safaris.

I had alot of good time, the Kenya's beauties are unique. Alex is very funny and good person at the same time good manager of the tours. The tour was AMAZING, It was migration time we saw alot of migrations. our tour guide Wilson was incredible. well experienced driver, kind, funny, and helpful He was working exactly based on the plan, made out of each day, I got cold he took me to the pharmacy to take madicine, when we hadnt cash he was paying instead of us until we find ATM and pay back. Lake Naivasha is optional, I recommend you to do it. For the lake I was about missing due to gotting cold, but Wilson came back and took me to the lake.

We did a 5-day private safari for our honeymoon and it was honestly incredible. We went to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate — each place was so different and we saw such a great variety of animals. Our guide, Dickson, was fantastic. Super friendly, really knowledgeable about all the wildlife, and made the whole trip feel super easy and relaxed. Because it was a private tour, we could go at our own pace, stop when we wanted, and just enjoy everything without any stress. We felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. Everything was so well organised, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone.

First of all: We had good information from Collins when we would book the tour. We did the 5days tour Masai mara, lake Nakuru & Naivasha We had a wonderfull time with Dickson, our driver and guide. He let us see a lot of animals. In the evening game drive we saw 12 lions eating a young buffalo. In the fulltime day game drive we saw lions 3 different times and every time Dickson brought us very close to them. There was also one lion with little ones. He brought us to Nakuro, lake Naivasha and Hells gate. The logements and food were also good. Good value for the price you pay. Dickson is a responsable man, good driver, kind with a good sense of humor. We were very satisfied with him. We are two older persons end he named us papa and mama safari, very friendly.

The coordination for the trip was close to perfection. Price for the tour was very competitive. Personnel and tour guides have great knowledge, they care that we get a fun trip, they are fun and interesting and they drive very safely. Experience was beyond my expectation
