Exceptional experience!

Exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was truly outstanding — from the comfortable, well-maintained vehicle to the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who made the entire safari both engaging and memorable. What stood out most was how much our young kids enjoyed the experience. The guide had a wonderful way of sharing insights about the wild animals that kept them curious, excited, and learning throughout the journey. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like an educational adventure for the whole family. Everything was well-organized, safe, and enjoyable, making it easy to relax and fully take in the beauty of the safari. We’re already looking forward to coming back again. Highly recommended for families and anyone wanting a meaningful and enjoyable wildlife experience!

Beyond Expectations: A Perfect Safari Journey

Everything about the experience was truly exceptional. The hotel arrangements were flawless, and the staff—especially Patrick and the reception team—were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Their level of client care is outstanding and truly sets them apart. Our driver, who also served as our guide, made the experience unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate—answering all our questions as if he were ChatGPT, with impressive detail and clarity. His ability to spot wildlife was remarkable—he even identified a lion perched in a tree over 200 meters away with the naked eye, something I could only see through binoculars. He never rushed us and went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible, including zebras, impalas, elands, rhinos, Nile crocodiles, hippos, giraffes, ostriches, and a wide variety of bird species. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and I’m already looking forward to returning—this time with my family.

Operator response

Having a guide who not only shares deep knowledge but also genuine passion makes all the difference—and spotting a lion perched in a tree from over 200 meters away is the kind of rare, magical moment that stays with you forever! We’re so glad he made you feel relaxed, never rushed, and fully immersed in every sighting. It sounds like you experienced the very best of the wild—from majestic giraffes and powerful rhinos to playful hippos and the rich birdlife—and we couldn’t be happier that it left such a strong impression. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure. The fact that you’re already planning to return, this time with your family, is the greatest compliment we could receive. We’ll be ready to make your next visit even more unforgettable. Until then, we’ll be here—waiting to welcome you back for another extraordinary journey. Warmest regards,

Highly recommended

I had a great experience — everything was very well organized and the tour itself was excellent. The staff were extremely kind, professional, and very knowledgeable about the fauna, which made the experience even more enriching. One suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the website to make information clearer and more user-friendly. Overall, a very good safari tour and highly recommended.

Nairobi National Park

It was one of the best experience! Managed to see 3 out of 5 of the Big 5. However, I wish the tour guide had told us that we should have left earlier as the park shut at 6PM, which made us end the trip slightly earlier, when we could have seen more animals. But overall, it was an amazing experience.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you had one of your best experiences with Tallic Tours and that you managed to see 3 of the Big 5 — that’s always such an exciting highlight! We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the park’s 6PM closing time. You’re absolutely right — starting a bit earlier can make a big difference in maximizing wildlife sightings. Your comment helps us improve, and we’ll make sure our guides communicate park timings more clearly so future guests can enjoy every possible moment. We’re so glad that overall it was an amazing experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon — maybe next time to complete the full Big 5!

Totally advisable

It was great to use Tallic tours, attention was fantastic and the guide did his best so we could see all the animals. We went to Ol Pajeta and it was a different experience with the blind Rhino and the chimpancees.

Operator response

Thank you for such an incredible review! We’re absolutely greatful that your experience with Tallic Tours was nothing short of fantastic! Our team is passionate about delivering more than just a tour — we aim to create unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime moments. Hearing that your guide went above and beyond to help you spot the animals is exactly the kind of experience we love to deliver. And what a destination to choose! Ol Pejeta Conservancy is truly extraordinary. From the moving story of the blind rhino to the rare chance to see chimpanzees up close, it’s not just a safari — it’s an emotional, powerful encounter with conservation in action. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure. For anyone thinking about booking — this is your sign! The wild is calling, and we’re ready to make it unforgettable. We can’t wait to host you again for an even bigger, bolder safari experience next time!

Probably scam,last minute canceling and ask for higher price

They make a promo price to attract you and then cancel last minute, give contact to "another company" with 3x higher price. We stayed without any tour last day of our stay in Kenya. Very bad experience,not recommended, probably scam.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry that your experience ended this way, and we truly understand how disappointing it must have been to miss out on a tour on the last day of your stay in Kenya. We would like to kindly clarify that we are not a scam. Unfortunately, at the time of your booking request we genuinely did not have availability. We communicated this to you and asked if you would be comfortable with us referring you to another company, which you agreed to. It was very unfortunate that the company we referred you to quoted a much higher price than our original offer. While this was outside of our control, we fully agree that it does not justify the inconvenience you experienced, and for that, we sincerely apologize. Transparency and trust are very important to us, and we regret that this situation gave a different impression. We are truly sorry that this led to you missing a tour and having a negative final day in Kenya. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve how we handle referrals in the future, and we wish you all the best in your travels ahead.
