Extremely valuable budget safari
5/5

My solo African adventure with 8 days budget safari in Kenya with several different locations has been fantastic! The animals exceeded all my expectations. Just keep in mind that you can't have too high expectations in terms of accommodation, vehicles and food if you choose a budget safari, but the amount and variety of animals you get to enjoy in any case. And personally, even as a 68 years old female, I thought everything flowed really well despite that you get to mingle with other travelers in a mini van (with a pop-up roof) and might have to change both travel companions and drivers during the tour. This review is based upon MY experiences and expectations. Do your reseach and make sure to explain what your preferences are and Benson will fix it!

My tour started with two days in Masai Mara where I saw and got close to a wide range of animals. Just amazing!
Had also an overnight stay in Nakuru and a nice safari in the national park. Did a boat ride on beautiful Lake Naivasha and stayed one night in Naivasha. Continued to Amboseli with an early morning stop at Hell's gate national park where it is possible to walk or bike among the animals.
The three last nights I stayed at a surprisingly good camp for beeing on a budget safari. And there I did two full day's amazing safaries and unexpectedly got to see a cheetah and a pygmy hippo among many other species and, of course, very many elephants!
All this was made possible to a very reasonable price thanks to Benson at Tall Masai Safaries. All my communication with Benson, from my first request, the pick up at the airport as well as during and after the tour, have been absolutely 💯 percent pleasant, smooth, clear, quick, flexible and correct all the time! So happy I found just this safari agent and I will certainly use them for any other safaries in Kenya and Tanzania. Very satisfied!!

Well organized. Value for money.
5/5

I had 6 days Tall masai safari. Everything went well and our driver Maxwell was great guy.
Maybe a little too much driving in six days. I would personally do two different safaris next time. First Amboseli and then Masai Mara.

Great company, amazing safari tour
5/5

All was good, they picked me up at my accomodation (had to be in CBD) and dropped me off at the end of the safari. They were flexible with payment methods and everything went smoothly. Was placed with other guests from different tour operators and really enjoyed my experience

Amazing 6 days in the wild
5/5

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

Kenya is a magical land, absolutely mesmerized.
5/5

Great week long tour for the missus and I. Booked it with Benson. Good guy, had a lot of patience for my thousands of questions before actually making the booking. Tailored the itinerary to my liking, even made changes according to our travel preferences.

We booked Sopa lodges in Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara with game drives in all of those places, in a private safari vehicle just for the two of us. The private safari was an excellent decision even though it cost a lot more, but you can't really put a price on peace of mind.

The resorts were exceptional. My wife and I travel a lot and these were some of the best we've ever experienced anywhere in the world. The heat during the afternoons was challenging, especially in mara sopa lodge who don't offer fans (horrible decision, someone should look into that asap). The safaris were wonderful, the roads leading to them not so. Naivasha is easily accessible, Nakuru a little hard to get to and Masai Mara is just so difficult to reach. Maybe flying there is a better idea. Long journeys are brutal on the back on those roads.

Got to see a lot of animals. Giraffes and zebras were my favourite since you can see them in and around your resort, no game drives needed. Among the big 5, we couldn't spot leopards, everything else was great.

Very good safari
5/5

The safari with Tall Masai Safari was great. The communication with Benson before and during the safari was seamless, everything was as agreed. We had an excellent driver, Richie, who managed even the very difficult terrain. We got a lot of information from him about the parks and the animals living there. The accommodation was modest but perfectly adequate. I have nothing to complain about.
We had a safari for five nights.

Amazing journey we never forget❤️
5/5

Everything went perfectly from beginning. Very good communication with Benson, picking us up at JKIA airport. We were given many good and useful informations.
7-day tour itself was just amazing. Time schedules perfectly fitted and our driver/guide Martin was just great. Besides being safe and good driver, he gave us tons of informations not only about animals but about Kenyan culture too. And the best on him is his superb sense of humour. We laughed almost non stop. This trip (Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli) I can only strongly recommend. We loved it! ❤️❤️❤️

7 days Safari
5/5

We booked 7 days safari & had some amazing time in the wilderness. The price was very reasonable for the experience we had.
The stays were very comfortable with good food.
Shout out to our driver(Richard) for being fun & professional at the same time.
Driver is the deal breaker in any wildlife safari & Richard just aced at it.
Mr. Benson(the owner) was well connected to us in the entire safari & he also made sure to keep our luggage safely while we were out in the safari.
I bugged him a lot with my questions prior to my safari & he had all the time in the world to entertain that.
Asante Sana!
