EXCELLENT CHOICE
I set my safari up with Benson a month or so before traveling, and he made everything so easy. Being my first trip to Africa, I didn’t have a good handle on which company to pick, but Benson did exactly as he said and took good care of me. I was traveling alone and my son was worried about all the unknowns, but my guide, Geoff, contacted my son via WhatsApp and stayed in contact with him my entire trip. That’s excellent customer service! The 6 days were filled with exactly what I want from my trip. The staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. Being a senior citizen, they took great care of me the entire time. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I’m glad I picked Tall Masai Safari!

Flexible, responsive, affordable and absolutely amazing!
I come to Kenya for work quite often, but I had never been on a safari before. So this time when my family was coming over to Kenya and Africa for the first time, we decided to go on a safari together, and Tall Masai Safari made it surreal for us.
I connected with Benson (from Tall Masai) two months before we were to arrive and started planning the trip. Despite the several times I changed the tour itself, he was always very considerate and responsive. We were able to customize the tour according to our needs. For part of trip we were able to arrange our own accommodation while only using their transportation and game drives. Their pricing was extremely reasonable to begin with, but the flexibility we had made the trip even more affordable.
Benson was very attentive all throughout and came to pick us up from the airport. At the airport he introduced us to our driver Tushara. From there we went on a 4 day trip to Amsboseli, Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. Tushara was an absolute delight to have around. He was remarkably knowledgeable about the landscape and the wildlife. He could spot a bird in the distance and identify the species.
He took it upon himself to show us the big five. We only missed the leopard by a minute but got plenty of time with the rest. We saw two different lion prides feeding! People may think that they are going to see all the wildlife by just going on a game drive, but it is not easy to always spot every animal, at least in the smaller parks. It really depends on knowing when and where to be, and that depends on your driver. And Tushara made a genuine effort to be at the right place at the right time. He always communicated with other safari vehicles to figure out where we need to be. Sometimes he would tell us to hold on and drive fast through the tracks so we could get to the animals before they wandered off into the bushes. It is truly because of him that our trip became so spectacular.
I will strongly recommend Tall Masai Safari to anyone who is considering a safari. They were absolutely amazing!
Amazing safari experience
We did the Amboseli NP safari 3D2N. Total price for 2 adults + 1 child (3 yo) was 540 USD inclusive of transportation, accomodations, food, park tickets. The communication during booking process was amazing (300 USD downpayment via Pesapal). On the other hand, the pick up was a little bit messy (it was supposed to be around noon but ended being closer to 1pm). From the hotel we were taken to a tour operator office on Wabera St. where we paid the rest of the trip. After that we were taken by car to Shell gas station south of Nairobi where the safari van with our guide, Maxwell, and the rest of travellers were waiting for us. We started the journey to Nyati safari camp, arriving there right after sunset. We were greeted by the camp staff, assigned rooms and given buffet dinner. (I would like to say the camp is very good, staff is friendly, rooms are comfty and buffet breakfast and dinner are very good).
The day after, early morning (6am) we did the morning walk (10 USD pp, worth it), came back to the camp, had breakfast and started the full day safari around 8am, returning to the camp around 5pm.
The last morning we departed around 6am for a half day safari and we were dropped off back in Nairobi around 4pm.
I would like to thank everything and specially our guide MAXWELL who is just amazing, very knowledgeable and honest. Looking forward to coming back to Kenya and doing Masai Mara with him!

Great
Really enjoyed the safari. Our driver was Eric and he was great. We saw so many animals including lions, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, etc. The camps were really nice, better than the hotel in my opinion and the food was good as well. The van had a little trouble in the muddy terrain of Amboseli but there were plenty of jeeps to help tow us out and it an interesting experience. Good value for the money and would definitely recommend

Professional game drive
We booked our game drive 3 months before with Mr. BENSON owner of Tall Masai safari for 5 nights 6 days covering Masai Mara, Nakuru and Ambosoli. It was a photographic trip with my brother in a 4X4 land cruiser.
Day 1.
When reaching Nairobi international airport. ( Very early in the morning like 5:30 am) I got a whatsapp MSG from our Guide/Driver Mr. Eric ( The Jungle master ) that he is waiting outside. We cleared our immigration and immediately got into the Land cruiser privately for us.
Mr. Eric was so friendly and didn't say a no for anything. We wanted to take some cash and he helped us going to banks. After finishing the bank works we headed to Masai. On the way we stopped in great rift valley. And then proceeded again. Stopped for breakfast and then with another couple of stops we reached our camp. - AA Lodge Masai.
The camp was fantastic no complaints at all. By 3:00 pm our Jungle Master took us inside the park and we had a great time spotting so many birds and animals. We returned back at 7:00 at the property had dinner and slept early since we have opted for full day safari the next day.
The next day we started by 6:30. We had breakfast by 6 and took our packed lunch. We covered a lot of area. We went to Masai river. We returned back by 5:00 pm
The next day we checked out early and reached lake Nakuru City max hotel by 1:00 pm and on the way in narok city we met Mr. Benson and he was very courteously asking about experience and was ready to improve if anything was wrong. Then we headed to lake Nakuru park by 2:30. We did our game drive till 6:30 and returned back to the hotel.
In these three days itself we able to see The Big 5. All thanks to the Jungle Master Mr. Eric.
Next day morning we started early and left to Ambosoli. We reached Nyati safari camp which just had Mt. Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. We went for the evening game drive followed by a full day game drive the next day. Ambosoli is the land of elephants. Too many elephants.
Next day we had our breakfast and headed to Nairobi Airport.
The whole trip was very memorable and would definitely recommend Tall Masai safari and specially ask for Eric as ur tour guide/driver.

Affordable, profesional safari company
We went to 3 day Amboseli safari in Nyati safari camp. It was affordable choice but we got a lot of for good price. Place was clean and food was good. During game drives we could ask to stop for photos or ask about animals. We got answers always! Helpfull, communicative driver and all stuff. If you are looking for good safari in affordable price you just found a brillant company.

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.
