Wonderful Safari with Tall Masai
My wife and I had a wonderful holiday in Kenya. We booked a safari with Tall Masai and are sure that it was the right decision. Manager Benson helped resolve any issues 24/7, and driver Eric was very punctual and safe. The driver always had a clean car. We would like to wish the Tall Masai success in business and many clients.

the scenery was beautiful, but the overall experience was average
We joined a sharing tour of mid-range accommodation for 6 days safari to Masai Mara, Naruku, and Amboseli. The safari was fun, but it was below expectation.
Highlights:
1. Before the day of safari, they picked us up at Nairobi airport on time, and helped us to buy the SIM card outside the airport.
2. During the days in game drive, the guide tried his best to find more animals. We saw the big five in different parks.
3. Jambo Mara lodge for the first and second nights was pretty good and satisfying.
Lowlights:
1. At the first day of safari, they asked us to wait for the pick up form hotel at 6:30am, but we waited until 7:30am. During the waiting time, no one told us where the driver was.
2. Before we booked the tour, the agent said 5 to 6 people sharing a car each and person getting a window seat, but we were 8 people in a minivan and some of us should be seated at the middle seat.
3. During the days, we got 1L of drinking water a day for each person, but sometimes only 500ml of water. (There’s no drinking water in the camp, so we didn’t have enough water for some days)
4. About the food. At the third night in Naruku, the dinner in the hotel gave each person only 3-4 pieces of meet and little vegetables. At the fourth night in the camp, the food of the restaurant had run out in 10 minutes after they served it. In addition, we had the same lunch boxes for 4 days. (At the third day of lunch, we had the same lunch box, but who booked for budget tour had a buffet inside the rest area.)
5. The most disappointing thing is the accommodation.
*(1) At the third night in Naruku, the light bulb burned in the first room we stayed, and there were no water in the sink in the second room.
*(2) At the forth and fifth nights in Amboseli, it was a nightmare. There was more than 50 mosquitoes in the room, and even like 10 mosquitoes in the tent. We asked for the help to the staff and the travel agent, but no one was trying to solve the issue for two days. The camp shut down the electricity after 22:30pm, but no one informed us about it. There was no hot water or even warm water in the room for showers. There was almost no signal in the area, and the wifi of the camp was not working at all. We saw someone was complaining about the camp on Google Maps, but everything is still the same.
6. At the last day, the driver dropped us off at the Namanga border around 10am, but we wait until 13:00pm for the bus to Arusha. During the time we were in the border, the agent who helped us to pass the checkpoint asked us to give him more money to buy the SIM card for us, and even took our lunch box with him to ask for additional tips.

Well organized. Value for money.
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
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

Very good safari
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❤️
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! ❤️❤️❤️

Nice safari,beautiful landscape and truely the home of elephants
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 communication
Tour was great and well organised by benson. The tour itself was operated by another company so each passenger was from different agencies, as such there was some confusion and miss communication, on the first day I was not given water and asked to buy some as guide stated the agent should have provided, benson was which to help with this although at this point I had already purchased water. Benson was quick to respond and help with any questions and issues that came up and arranged for car to drop me at my hotel as the guide drops everyone in the city centre. Great service and affordable price.

Our tour operator’s commitment to delivering a top-notch experience was evident in every aspect of o
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!

7 days Safari
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!
