Great Safari experience without breaking the bank!
Benson communicated with us from the very beginning and accompanied us during most of the trip. He picked us and dropped us off to and from the airport. We had good driver but the jeep had issues. Benson realized this problem and arranged for new driver and jeep. We went on game drives, twice a day. At Masai Mara we spent two whole days at the Mara with a picnic lunch. It was definitely worth it since we were able to see the amazing migration of the wild beasts. We also saw leopards, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, and even ostriches. He made arrangements for the hot air balloon ride which was simply an awesome experience! . Other than a small miscommunication, the trip was well organized and worth every penny! I recommend Tall Masai Safari for your trip and suggest to openly communicate with Benson your concerns and he’ll make every effort to meet your expectations. Great value for your money!

A good affordable package.
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

Flexible
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.

Safari in Kenya NP
We, a group of 8 family member went for 12 days (8 nights at National parks, 3 nights at Nairobi) with Tall Masai safari. Benson, the director of Tall Masai safari was with us most of the time including airport transfers upon arrival to Nairobi and return. It was little longer safari than average (Tsavo east and west, Amboseli, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru, and Masai mara national parks), Benson was very helpful to customize our trip and booking hotels of our choice. The trip was went very well as planned—— during middle of our safari, Benson realized that the Land Cruiser we are riding last 4 days might not in good shape—— he immediately decided to replace the Jeep and brought a another car from Nairobi overnight without disrupting out safari. Benson, Erick, and Martin —-all are very sincere, respectful and put their best effort to provide us with great, once in a life time Kenya Jungle Safari expriences.

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

Good experience
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
The camp was great with a view of the kilimangaro

Very nice
I would totally recommend them. Only one thing that you should improve it to be a little bit more detailed on the itinerary. Other than that, the hotels they choose are nice, except the one in AA Amboseli. The travel agent helped us with everything we needed and even though we had a flight delay they managed to get us to Masai Mara in another vehicle to start the safari. Also the Driver we had was very helpful and good driver and patient and knew a lot about the animals.

Great experience
We booked a 7 night safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli with our family of five.
All in all we had a fantastic week with our guide/driver Clinton, who was a very safe driver and positioned his car at the best spots for close encounters with wildlife. At the first game drive in Masai Mara we even spotted a leopard, which is the most difficult to find. Clinton advised us to change hotel in Nakuru, as the City Max is below standard according to the reviews. That was a good suggestion, the Buraha Zenoni was very clean and had a nice buffet spread. Miti Mingi Eco Camp (Masai Mara) was basic but clean and food was ok. In Amboseli we upgraded to the amazing, very luxurious Kibo safari camp but we heard Nyati (more basic, in the standard package) was also good.
The safari tour is great value for money, but I advise you to check and double check with Benson on arrangements made outside of the standard package, i.e. booking and payment of accommodation.
Logistics with other guests joining the car is also a bit of a challenge, especially if they have other plans than you.
Would have given 5 stars if logistics and bookings were flawless.

Nice travel agent. The people are very nice.
The service was excellent, except that we agreed to pick someone up at the airport for free and subsequently asked me for a fee. The price was cheap, the accommodation was mediocre and the overall value for money was good. Recommend it!

Value for money experience.
We had booked 7 days and 6 Night Masai Mara - Naivasha - Nakuru - Amboseli Safari. It was a standard package offered by Safari operators in Kenya in budget category. Communication with Benson was smooth, camps were basic and you get what you paid for. In our case, plan was changed a little bit, we were first taken to Naivasha and then to Masai Mara to suit economics of operator (since there were not enough people on first day for Masai Mara), this is something shouldn't have happened as we wanted to spend 31st evening watching sunset in lake Naivasha.
Camp/Stays Ratings:
Naivasha - 3/5 (Food was average for vegetarians)
Nakuru - 3.5/5 (Basic City Hotel with good food but no good wifi)
Masai Mara - 3.5/5 (Basic Facilities, good food)
Amboseli - 4/5 (Excellent and Spacious Camp).
We were 6 to 7 People in Mini Van ( Should have been strictly 6) and people would join and leave as per their itinerary. We were with guide Clinton and he did a good job.
I would recommend this agency, as our experience was good.
