Flexible
4/5

I was able to arrange a safari tour on short notice (day before departure) with Tall Masai Safari. I appreciated Benson's flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to my needs and the guides/drivers were good and accommodations reasonable for the price paid. I just wish I would have been able to pay at least a part of the tour by card and also the itinerary was not completely followed as I was told day 3 would include a game tour of Nakuru park (time permitting) plus a Nakuru game drive on day 4 before going back to Nairobi. Though we arrived in Nakuru with a whole afternoon to spare on day 3, the guide told me only one Nakuru game drive was included, either on day 3 or 4. On Day 4, I was able to go on boat tour and Crescent Island on lake Naivasha but had to pay the entry fees for those on top of the safari tour price.

The tour and driver IS fantastic, but the operator have a importante mistake
4/5

The tour is very good and the driver is fantastic. I had 2 single rooms reserved and they wanted to give me one for two people. It was not what was contracted. You had to suffer to get what you contracted. Unfortunately this error undervalues the tour, if it had not been for this it would be perfect

A good affordable package.
4/5

A good affordable package. Guide josh was so good, very enthusiastic. Had almost all sighting. The big 4 except leopard. Accommodation provided was also good in terms of the budget. Had smaller issues in toilet maintenance. Agent taken care of all the food till Nairobi. It was decent and tasty. Vehicle provided for the safari was also good and neat( sometimes charger doesn't work).
I strongly recommend this for a budget traveller

We had a great time thanks to maxwell (our guide)
We booked a 3 days 2 nights safari but we actually only spent a full day plus three hours the next day on safari

Nice safari,beautiful landscape and truely the home of elephants
4/5

The Safari with Tall Masai Safaris was very nice. We were lucky to see lots of elephants and hippos and this trip. We also did a walking safari with a great view on the Mount Kilimanjaro. The landscape was stunning.

Our driver Clinton was experienced and we felt save even though the terrain was not the easiest due to previous rainfalls. It would have been nice if he had explained some more about the National Park and its animals. But thats just a small suggestion for improvement. All in all it was a very good experience. Thanks for that

Good value for price
4/5

Benson was very communicative and flexible, he tries his best to accomplish client’s requirements.
We enjoyed 3 days safari in Masai Mara and we were very lucky with Bonface (our driver), very experienced driver, supportive and very kind.
Things to improve: the budget hotel ‘Miti mingi eco camp’ could improve the food and facilities.
Last but not least, we strongly DON’T RECOMMEND the visit to the Masai Village close to the camp Miti Mingi, it’s a tourist trap, a real feak, a fraud!

Attentive, customer friendly.
4/5

Everything was as described.
Benson was very attentive and helpful.
They were flexible in coordinating clients from different offices.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Tall Masai Safari.
There was one negative however that I must mention. Almost all the members of our group had quite severe indigestion, most likely the problem was with the first accommodation (Miti Mingi eco camp). This was later confirmed by other group members.

Great First Safari Experience!
5/5

We had a great first safari experience (masai mara, nakuru, amboseli) for 6 days total. The scheduling was on point for most of the trip. The driver Dereck was solid and new his ways around trying to get you the best shots of the animals. Only room for improvement could be the food options for vegetarians.

5/5

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible safari adventure in the Masai Mara with the Tall Masai Safari Group, and it exceeded all of my expectations. From start to finish, the trip was impeccably organized, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure a seamless and immersive experience. My guide and driver, Mr. John, and our tour coordinator, Mr. Benson, played vital roles in making this safari unforgettable.

From the moment we booked the safari, Mr. Benson was highly attentive and communicative. He handled all of the logistics, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that our preferences were considered. Benson’s professionalism and friendly approach made the pre-trip planning a breeze, and it was clear that he was committed to creating a personalized and exceptional experience for each member of the group. His frequent updates and check-ins made us feel well cared for and reassured us that we were in good hands.

Joining a group safari turned out to be a fantastic experience as well. I had the pleasure of traveling with an amazing team of fellow adventurers who shared the same excitement and curiosity for the Masai Mara. The camaraderie we built during our time together only added to the enjoyment of each day. Together, we shared countless unforgettable moments, from spotting animals to taking in the stunning landscapes. It felt like we were all part of something truly special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to travel with.

During the safari, Mr. John’s expertise as a guide was truly impressive. His deep knowledge of the Masai Mara’s landscapes, animal behaviors, and local ecosystem enriched each moment. It was clear that he genuinely loves and respects the wildlife and environment, which added a layer of respect and admiration to our experience. He had an exceptional ability to spot animals, often before any of us had even noticed them! Thanks to him, we had breathtaking close-up encounters with some of the “Big Five” animals—lions, elephants, buffalo,, and even the elusive leopard. But Except Rhinos it’s very hard to see in Masai Mara.

John was also fantastic at explaining the animals’ behaviors and movements, giving us context that added depth to what we were seeing. His patience and responsiveness to our questions made the experience even more interactive. He had a wonderful personality, and his sense of humor and warmth made us feel comfortable and at ease. No matter the hour or conditions, he was attentive to everyone in the group, ensuring that we had everything we needed.

The Tall Masai Safari Group’s organization was flawless, and the accommodations were thoughtfully selected to give us an authentic experience without compromising on comfort. Each lodge and camp offered spectacular views and brought us closer to nature while providing wonderful service and amenities.

Overall, I am incredibly grateful to Tall Masai Safari Group, Mr. Benson, Mr. John, and my wonderful team for making this adventure one that I will remember forever. This experience was more than just seeing wildlife; it was about understanding and appreciating the delicate balance of nature, culture, and the connections we made along the way. I highly recommend Tall Masai Safari Group, along with Mr. Benson and Mr. John, for anyone looking for a meaningful and well-rounded safari experience in the Masai Mara. Thank you for an extraordinary journey!
