Very good guide but very bad organisation
We did a 7 day safari with Lenchada Safaris and while the wildlife itself was incredible, there are serious transparency and communication issues that future travelers should know about. The main problem was in Amboseli National Park. The safari package is sold and charged as if you enter Amboseli for 3 days, but in reality you only enter the park for 2. The itinerary clearly mentions a night game drive on day 5, a full day game drive on day 6, and a pre morning game drive on day 7. The night game drive on day 5 never happened. Our guide clearly told us that they have NEVER done the Amboseli night game drive on day 5, yet it is still advertised in the itinerary they send to customers. There was no refund and no option to recover the unused park entrance fee. This is not about a missed service. It is a park entrance ticket that was never used. Amboseli park tickets are valid for 24 hours. What they do is enter the park on day 6 around 10am, which allows them to re enter at 6am on day 7 using the same ticket. This means they only pay one park entrance instead of two, while charging the customer as if three days were included. If you actually want to do the evening game drive on day 5, you would need to leave Hell’s Gate no later than 10am. This was not done and it was never communicated in advance. I have screenshots of the emails from Lenchada Safaris showing the itinerary exactly as advertised. I also have screenshots of WhatsApp conversations with Sam, the Operations Manager, where I raised this issue. In those messages, he first states that they never offered the day 5 game drive, and later says that because there is not enough time on day 5, they instead do the pre morning game drive on day 7. These explanations contradict each other. I initially dealt with Collins during the booking process. He was responsive until the deposit was paid, but after that it became extremely difficult to get answers or support from him. It is also worth mentioning that Lenchada Safaris is a subsidiary of Jocky Tours, which operates several other safari companies as well. Our guide was excellent, honest, and very knowledgeable, and the safari itself was enjoyable from a wildlife perspective. However, the itinerary is misleading, park fees are not handled transparently, and communication when issues arise is very poor. I strongly recommend clarifying exactly how many park entrances are truly included before booking.

Memorable and beautiful experience
Our Kenya trip was a dream, all thanks to Ken. He was an incredible guide who went above and beyond, showing us a huge variety of animals and sharing his vast knowledge.

Highly recommend - especially with Ken as your guide
Excellent safari and tour. Our guide, Ken was not only knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape, but also incredibly patient, attentive, and friendly. His sharp eye meant we spotted animals we might have otherwise missed, and his driving was both safe and comfortable, even on the rougher tracks. I would highly recommend this safari experience to anyone looking for a memorable and well-coordinated trip!

Amazing driver, great stay and food arrangements
We had a great experience with Lenchada, especially because of our driver and guide Ken. He was a very safe driver on rough roads in various national parks, went out of his way to accommodate our requests as best as he could, and was very knowledgeable regarding the parks and animals. The food and stay arrangements with Lenchada partner camps and hotels were great as well.
Response from the operator: we are delighted to hear you had a great experience with us during your 7-days Kenya safari - thanks to Ken - one of our professional guide and drivers. He is indeed very informed about all Kenya National parks and wildlife. Thanks for appreciating the food and accommodation arrangements!

Request Ken as your guide!!
We had an amazing experience with Ken as our safari guide in Kenya. Ken is friendly, approachable, and always willing to help with any request. He is punctual, communicative, and prompt. He is also a very safe driver. He worked hard, made an effort to know us and what we wanted, and made every effort to get us the best spots and the best viewpoints. He has good knowledge of wildlife and the land, he answered our many questions, and made recommendations that truly led to us having the best experience. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1260 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7-Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli Kenya Budget Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
