5-Day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Small-group Safari Tour

The views were amazing, we saw the Big Five incredibly close, learned about Kenya natural and political history, met many talented Kenyan artists and tribes-people. Our guide was Kikitu, who was excellent - knowledgeable, funny, attentive and helpful. Thanks Kikitu!

This safari was incredible value: we got to see 3 national parks, see a Maasai village, take a boat tour, and ride mountain bikes. We saw sooo many animals, including the big five. But what made this trip especially wonderful was our guide, Jimmy, who is a skilled driver, and had a great sense of humour and knowledge of where to find specific animals. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted…. a short stop at a mall to get bug spray, for example. When one of our group was sick, he made extra efforts to get her special tea and medicine. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Jimmy, and Lenchada provided excellent value for money.

Kenyan Safari We planned 2 night in MasaiMara with stay at Lenchada camp, third day in Nakuru to see flamingos with stay at Buraha Zenoni and Finally Naivasha boat ride and Hells gate visit with stay at Dove Nest Resort. Assigned guide cum driver was Mr. Dickson Positive experience: All staffs including our guide cum driver were professionals and helpful. We could spot all the top 5 animal right near without any issues, animal knowledge and MasaiMara place knowledge of Mr. Dickson was outstanding. Our team were well connected and nice. Mr. Dickson explained the plan every time we stopped and it was healthy. Stay at Lenchada camp was good, clean and no mosquitoes or flies. Nakuru visit was worth too with flamingoes, Rhinos etc. stay and good at Buraha was excellent too. Naivasha was excellent with its boat ride with wide variety of birds, Hippos etc. Boat driver John was very friendly. Whereas Hells gate was not upto what they say, except if we could see steam coming out of ground in a nearby point and waterfall. Areas of improvement : Mr. Dickson had lot of connections all across these places and getting incessant calls which was slightly annoying though he was asking us are you ok? Some small changes in the plan was bit annoying too. Dove Nest stay in Naivasha was terrible due to lack of cleanliness and I got food poison too. Cost of souvenirs were extremely overpriced in the tourist locations whereas we found the same at 10% of its price in a best shop in Galleria Mall at Nairobi further low at Masai Market near diamond Plaza in Nairobi. Mr. Dickson informed the price would be around 50% of what they say but in reality less than 10%.
