An excellent tour Company!
We went to Maasai Mara and Tayiai village in May, together with the superb guide Lenny Koshal, who also is the owner of Tayiai Safaris.
Lenny knows how to treat a customer and answered very rapidly on mails and also made a very clear itinerary what we could expect through the tour.
Comparing to other companies the tour was of excellent value. The cost differs depending on the accommodation provided and as Tayiai Safaris do tailor made tours, we could choose our own standard of lodge and we also got the whole van to ourselves. When you travel to Maasai Mara you can see many Vans with 7-8 people, tightly packes. That was not the case with a tailor made tour.
Together with an extra driver Lenny drove us safely from our home in Nairobi(we lived in Kenya at that moment) and during the game drives Lenny showed his huge knowledge of wildlife, spotting different animals and he could answer all the questions we had.
After our first meeting we have been to other shorter Tours with Tayiai Safaris, for example an day walk in Karura Forrest and also a hill walk at Ngong Hills.
I would highly recommend Tayiai safaris as your tour organizer, I assure you that you wont be disappointed.

Amazing Safari Experience
We went to 4 different natural parks and natural reserves in Kenya and the experience was amazing. Very safe and comfortable. I cannot recommend Tayiai Safaris enough.

Amazing Mara!
My 4-day trip to Mara was one of a kind and our driver Lenny was just the perfect guide of all time. Tayiai safaris arranged a trip for me and my 3 pals and we really enjoyed every bit of it; from game drives, to the accommodation to our knowledgeable guide. Thanks Tayiai for this trip!

A personal and special trip
I felt like going on a ride with a friend, it felt so relaxed and full of adrenalin at the same time. Our guide, Lenny had all the information needed and could answer every single question we had. I did different trips with Tayiai, from a walk in the Ngong Hills, Safari in the Maasai Mara National Park and a Safari in the Nairobi Nacional Park, I can't explain how special was each of those days, but I must tell that we were lucky enough to see a Lyones attaching a zebra right in front of our eyes! I still can't believe it, it was amazing!!!! Thanks Tayiai Safaris, Thanks Lenny!!!

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!

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.
