Nice Safari for a fair price
Other agencies make the people book expensive new Toyota Landcruiser. While Tall Masai offers the same, they also offer a simple but for Safari prepared Minibus. WE Chose that offer since I have Made good experience with such vehivmckes in the Serengeti (Tanzania). The vehicle was perfectly fine and brought us to all places we wanted to go. Our experience, Guide explained a Lot about the Wildlife, Pointed Out animals we did not see and was in constant contact with other drivers to be informed about seldom animals or hppenings being seen.
Besides almost all animals of Masai-Mare, we. Had within only two days several Close encounters with Lions and Cheetahs.
It.was.a real private Tour, our Guide adjusted to what We wanted to See and do. Therefore We could act very free and spontaneous.
Tall Masai suggest accomodation of different price categories. Also Here we were Not disappointed. The Wildnest was a good price value, sleeping in comfortable tents with Stone bathroom, wer could hear the wild animals at night.
Tall Masai gave us all you want from a safari without selling us things we don't need.
If I will do another safari in Kenya I will choose them again since it is difficult to make it better than Tall Masai.

Excellent driving tour for a variety of animals
The tour was communicated very well, the service from our driver Papa John was excellent with him getting us across the park to many different locations in a 2 day span. The accomodation and food were high quality as well for the value. I appreciated Papa's facts about the animals, however, they were relatively surface level and would have preferred to learn more throughout alongside seeing the animals themselves.

Great
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We went for a 3 day trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara. After arriving we had a quick lunch and immediately went into the park for a game drive. The second day we went on a full day of game drives. Our driver Ken did an amazing job. He really knew how to get the best positions to view the wildlife. On the third day we visited a Masai village and made our way back to Nairobi. Had a great trip, would highly recommend if you want a short safari trip!

An unforgettable and truly adventurous experience!
Ome of our dreams was to see lions, elephants and giraffes. And we did, really close, I bet we could have touched the lions when they passed our car. Loved that it was an open car, so we really felt the nature and smells

quick to respond
The advantage of this agent is their quick response time. Whether during the booking process or throughout our journey, they assisted us in resolving issues as promptly as possible. However, they seem to be more specialized in the Kenya portion of the trip. The Tanzania part was likely outsourced, which resulted in a less than satisfactory experience there.
First, for the Mount Kilimanjaro itinerary, we were not informed in advance that the accommodation was a mountain camp instead of a hotel, so we didn’t know we need to bring sleeping bags and other essentials.
Second, when we were about to enter a certain reserve, the guide asked us to wait for an hour to avoid paying next day’s entrance fee. However, we had already paid extra for this ticket. Although the agent communicated with the guide promptly, it still negatively affected our travel experience.
Third, while we were waiting to witness the Great Migration, the vehicle seemed to have an issue. The guide didn’t inform us and simply decided to abandon the wait and drive straight to the camp for repairs. While I understand that fixing the car was urgent, they should have at least let us know.
What’s more surprising is that on the last day, they simply left us at the hotel and told us to either wait an hour for the hotel’s shuttle bus to the airport or pay an additional fee for a direct transfer.
Additionally, I had specifically requested three binoculars, and they agreed. While the vehicle in Kenya had them, the one in Tanzania only had one for the guide.
Overall, the service was average. I wouldn’t highly recommend them, at least not for the Tanzania portion. Their Kenya arrangements were acceptable though.

First time on safari - so many animals - basic accommodation
Communication with Joshua went smoothly (apart from the politically motivated internet block).
For the price, we couldn't find anything that included Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Norongoro Crater – four days packed with experiences. (We saw an incredible number of animals.) It's important to be aware that the drive to the Serengeti takes a good half day each way.
And the accommodations are basic/modest, as expected for the price. Our first night was in a simple tent with a private bathroom that met the minimum hygiene standards (including a pool). The second night was in a small tent with sleeping bags and mats provided by the tour operator. The sanitary facilities were quite dirty, no light, no toilet paper... If you love adventure, then this is the perfect place for you, right in the middle of the Serengeti, unfenced and with less than the bare necessities. The last night was in the same tents, but with good sanitary facilities.
... The food was absolutely delicious every single day, and the kitchen staff went to great lengths to prepare it (they seemed to be cooking all night long), so we were even able to enjoy a hearty meal while out in the national park. Only one evening was there a bit of chaos with setting up the tent late and having dinner at 11:00 PM. :) The driver was very experienced and happy to provide detailed information about the animals and the region when asked. (We saw pretty much all the well-known animals of the area... and often several times... rhinos only from a distance.)

It's so wonderful to be able to see so many different animals.
It was a fantastic experience seeing so many animals and driving through the diverse landscapes. The food was delicious! The second night was quite an adventure. We were in the middle of nowhere in the Serengeti, where we could hear the lions from our tent. A crazy experience, but you have to be comfortable with the basic sanitary facilities.

Fun, inclusive and fulfilling experience.
From start to finish, the team understood the assignment. inclusive, responsive, and serving top-tier customer care like pros! Suswa was a whole mood with fun-packed activities, room to vibe your way, and food so good it deserved its own standing ovation. 10/10 would ride again!
