Great Safarii Game
We have been on a 6 day Safarii - Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli. We had a great driver and can see a lot of animals. On the second day we had big five in a photo wallet. We upgraded budget version (camp) to the lodges what was a great idea - the Jumbo lodge in Masai Mara and AA Lodge in Amboseli was realy excellent for a fair price - I strongly recomend it. Benson was also very helpful - arrange extra transfer from the airport to the hotel and help to arrange a train from Amboseli to Mombasa because we didn't want to go back to Nairobi, not to loose time. The whole organization was excellent except a small misunderstanding on a last day. We had to pay extra for a privet transfer to the train station which was not actually a privet but a group transfer and the cost should be different.

Amazing 6 days in the wild
Our 6-day tour included only one and a half days in Masai Mara Park. When planning your trip, consider allocating more time there.
And here is what we observed in Amboseli https://youtu.be/_nxYM3Q7B68

Competitively priced and well organized, able to do last minute arrangements
I decided last minute (1 week in advance) to do a 7 day safari. Tall Masai responded quickly to my request and adapted their offering in a flexible way to my needs. The driver/guide Eric did an excellent job and helped us whenever required. He was very knowledgeable (himself being a Maasai). I would recommend them anytime.
I did this tour a second time and always advise for a private tour options.

For budget tour very good
I booked 6 days safari Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Very good value for money it was.
The amount of animals, I see was fantastic. I am so satisfyad eith it.
The transport is by minivan. For me it was good enough. Our game driver was exceptional. He drowe us so smoothly on pumpy roads.
The accomodation was not much, but good enough for budget tour. Font forget the main reason you come to safari tour: seeing beautiful animals. In Amboseli tve accomodation was super good: new and clean facilities with everything working wery well.
About food: there was lots of food. Moustly wery tasty as well. But in Nakuru hotel there was something fishy. 3 of our group got food poisoning.
All together: if you must go with budgetfriendly safari option, then Tall Masai Safari is very good choice. The price is very good and you will enjoy yor safari. They even got me afterwards to my hotel, that was not in city center. As a solo female traveller I felt myselt completely safe. It is very important if you travel alone.
In conclusion: safari is for seeing nature and animals. I got it all. If you want some luxoury accomodation, then you must pay more and thats it. For me was budget safary only option to go to safari at all. So I am very greatful for this opportunity❤️

Very good service. Ben is perfect in organizational matters and communication process is smooth and easy. Thanks a lot to our guide James - we had opportunity to see even leopard in Nakuru. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Great professionals
I just returned from Kenya and I only have good things to say about Tall Masai Safari and all its staff. My suitcase did not arrive on time and Benson did all the paperwork to get it back. Fantastic guides, Joseph is a super professional. If you want to live an authentic adventure African at an incredible price, don't hesitate to do it with them.

Disorganized
Ok I’m going to be completely honest and be the review that I wish I would’ve seen, because this would’ve led me to book differently. Let me start by saying KENYA IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! There were moments where I wanted to cry tears of joy from what I was experiencing and pinch myself because the beauty there is unmatched. Now for Tall Masai as a company, they were completely disorganized. To begin my pickup time was severely miscommunicated by Benson. He messaged me saying my pickup time was 6pm and actually ended up being 6am! MAJORRR difference as I almost booked an extra hotel night to accommodate for the late pick up. So I had to rush and pack all my items last min due to this major error. Then I get in the van and I’m requested to pay the remainder (being that you only pay half prior to booking) in USD. I travel with the country’s currency (Kenyan Shilling) never with usd because it’s not smart. My driver tells me Ben should’ve told you to have usd but he didn’t! So we call and I ended up going back and forth until I was allowed to pay online in which Ben asked me to pay MORE to accommodate for the exchange rate. That was completely unfair and disrespectful. These two errors happened within 40mins of being picked up so I was already super annoyed. All I received was a weak apology from Ben and nothing else. Once the safaris started because we were super delayed things got a little better.. until it was lunch time. The lunch was absolutely horrible and not safe. The meat was not properly refrigerated and the fruit was not fresh. Honestly the food at all the accommodations was pretty bad except Nyati, which was decent. Citymax hotel was disgusting and I would’ve rather slept outside. Please bring a bunch of snacks because the food offered is the worse I’ve experienced in my life. The game drivers were shady and didn’t speak much which was weird. For some of us this is a once in a lifetime experience so engage and explain to us what we’re seeing…. Some did but a lot didn’t and drove with no purpose. However the people I’ve met and the locals, Masai tribe, the wild life was absolutely perfect. If it wasn’t for me making the best out of it and being in nature I would’ve easily gave this company a 1 or 2 star. Yes I understand this is marketed as a budget tour,however no one should be fed old bread and cucumber and sleep in vermin infested hotels for $600 + dollars. NO ONE! this is greedy and not humane. To wrap this up look into higher priced options with a different company if you want to have a full great experience. I would not recommend Tall Masai at all sadly. Hopefully they can take this review as constructive criticism as this was my true raw experience.
4 days MM and Nakuru with Navasha
Safari was good itself, not the organisation. Mr. Benson didn't keep promise to side boat tour in Naivasha, even after I notified few times in advance, and only offered to pay taxi for myself back to Nairobi if to go so I had to resign. At the arrival he let me wait over an hour abandoned in a car park in Nairobi without transport until I got my own.
The driver failed in critical interaction with local authorities and after bribing them he demanded money from me to pay all to him. Very disappointing customer care
