Superb experience!
We went with Tayiai Safaris on a three day trip in Masai Mara. Had an excellent time. Professional guide that really took us on a life time experience. We got to see it all, and felt secure the entire time. Huge hug and a big thank You to Lenny!

The perfect safari experience!
What better way to discover the nature, animals and culture of Masai Mara than through a Masai? Not only does Lenny know every corner of the area and the behavior of the animals, he is also determined to deliver the best experience possible, a very professional guide and an excellent organizer. The 4 days were full of amazingly scenic landscapes, exciting close encounters with so many animals and the luxury of enjoying lunch in the middle of nature (who is afraid with a Masai watching over them?). Tayiai Safari gets my highest recommendation.

The time of our lives!
We had a taylor made experience, driving with Lenny from Nairobi to Maasai mara ( staying at Ashnil) and then back. Lenny is an amazing guide that really wants the best for you and he´s also a very very nice and fun guy. He´s fantastic at spotting animals, knows the country so well. He´s a deep knowledge and love of nature and animals that he shares. He gave us the best angles for photos and we´ve returned with some great pics. We saw the big five, a crossing, a hunting lion and many many more unforgettable experiences. One day we had lunch under a giant tree at Sand river. We had a great time together and we want to return. We really want to recommend Tayiai safaris!

A dream come true
After four months in Kenya we had to book a safari with Lenny at Tayiay Safari. We had heard from many of our friends that he was the perfect guide for safari trips.
First we booked him for a Safari in Nairobi National Park and had our first meeting with the stunning wild nature and animal in Kenya. Tayiay Safari (Lenny) gave us so many great moments that day and he has so much knowledge about Wildlife, animals and birds. He gave us a day we will never forget. We just had to book him for our next safari in Naivasha.
Three unforgettable days in Naivasha and memories to remember for the rest of our lives. We walked in the ravines in Hells Gate National park, had a boat trip to Crescent Island where we walked among the wild animals and at last a great day at Olerai house where the Sebras, giraffs and other animals where guest in the garden just 30 cm from the sun beds. A great Masai with alot of interesting stories about his tribe and family. Amazing days that we will never forget. Will use Tayiai Safari again because Lenny has a uniqe way of giving us value for Money. He has his uniqe way of spotting the animals and his caracter and knowledement is really worth every penny.

An Amazing Adventure in the Maasai Mara
We had four marvellous days in the Maasai Mara with our giude Lenny Koshal. The first day we saw the big five within 3 hour, which was so much more than we hed expected.
Lenny is an excellent guide as he really knows the Mara and its wildlife well. He has a huge knowledge about the animals and how to find them, and when it comes to dining in the nature, he knows how to pick the most spectaccular places.
This was the most amazing adventure in the Maasai Mara, and I will absolutely recommend others to go on safaries with Tayiai Safari if you want an extraordinary experience of the nature and wildlife of Kenya.

Exceptional Masai Mara experience
We went with Tayiai Safaris to Masai Mara, and it was a phenomenal adventure.
Our guide is a Masai himself and knew the Mara like the back of his hand. We had three days in the Mara and they didn't disappoint. We got to see lions and cheetahs, we saw elephants, hippos, crocodile. We saw the great migration with more wildebeast and zebras than you can imagine. We got to see a hyena with a pup.
Our guide also took us to the most scenic views, we had breakfast on the bank of Sand river one morning and ate lunch between hippos and nile crocs on the bank of Mara river the next day.
Tayiai Safaris has my warmest recommendations, and we have already ordered our next safari with them.

Exceptional experience with an expert guide.
Lenny has a very big heart and he is doing this because he is one with the nature. Being in Masai Mara with a guy whom was born there and knows the area is great. This is a small personal company and direct contact with the “Boss” whom set everything up and knows what is in the deal. This is a 5 star experience from start to end. I am going to use Tayiai Safaris in the future and I can recommend this company to anyone who plans a safari tour.

Fantastic Game Drive in Nairobi National Park
We started out early. Lenny from Tayiai Safaris picked us up at 6am so we could enter the NNP at 6:30am as the first guests on this day. There was a bit of rain in the morning, but right from the gate we started seeing loads of animals.
Lenny is a fantastic guide and we have used him before, and will use him again. His vast knowledge of the local Flora and Fauna is amazing and he takes his time to enlighten us all. Unfortunately we didn't see any big cats this day, but we saw more than 10 different rhinos and a whole lot of Giraffes, Zebras, Antilopes and birds.
Except for the lack of cats, the safari exceeded our expectations, and we got more than our moneys worth. :)

Unique experience, staying in Masai village
We had a unique experience on our trip with Tayiai Safaris!
Our very competent and positive guide Lenny took us to his home village, where we were introduced to the traditional Masai life with bow-shooting, spear-throwing and story telling at the bonfire together with roasted goat meat (we were also attending the slaughter earlier in the day). After spending the night in the village, we were served breakfast (fresh fruits, chapati, coffee and tea, and also home made sour milk).
After breakfast, we continued to the camp outside the national reserve, Maasai Mara, checked in our bags, and went on safari! We saw elephants, ostriches, zillions of gnus and zebras, a glimpse of a cheetah, large buffaloes and many other wild animals. We stopped to have lunch in the shade of an acacia tree, and before we started off again, our Masai guides Lenny and Dennis showed us how to jump like a Masai!
In the evening, when we were on our way back to the camp, we saw a pack of lions with cubs passing us just five meters away. Truly fascinating!
Back in the camp, we had dinner (buffet with various kinds of food) and ice cold refreshments - a perfect end of the day!
If you want to do something very unique (okay, we did it before you), you should definitively ask Tayiai Safaris if they could bring you to a Masai village! It's not the most comfortable way of living, but it's absolutely worth it! And you can lay down and rest in the camp later!
