Well organised, flexible and experienced in communication
5/5

Our overall experience was amazing!
Black santa was professional and easy going from start till end.
I had a couple of requests for individualising our safari tour and they were all met perfectly. We paid everything, including add ons, up front so there was no hastle and no need for plenty of cash on the trip.
Then on the start day of our trip we were picked up right on time by our guide and driver, Opany.
He is a well experienced, extremely kind-hearted and 110% trustworthy guy from the start. He's a very good driver, always on time for the start of the day. He answered all our questions, was funny and gave us some of his stories from.20 years in the job. At the same time, he always knew, when to give a quiet time for enjoying the experience and view with the animals.
Visiting Amboseli and Tsavo East was a memory building trip with all the animals we hoped for and mesmerising diverse of nature.
AA lodge in Amboseli was great overall. One slight improvement would be if there was less music since after a day of safari we'd prefer to just enjoy a quiet time. Another would be a smoother coordination with the stuff of the balloon ride. When we were picked up, the gate didn't open at first, because they thought we'd go without check-out. The hastle had us come a bit late for the balloon start and our driver had a stressful time arriving just in time.

The Voi Wildlife Lodge in Tsavo is good for groups who like a bit of party and pool time. For a couple preferring quietness and private space it's not perfect. The rooms are not insulated too much concerning noise and smoke from the neighbours.
While the view on a water hole with animals is great, it could be more classy with less light on the evening and especially without flashing lights in a selfie-area. Those can be great for tourists, but it seems a bit too much for the animals. Still depending on what you're looking for.
Definitely for one night it's perfectly fine.

Overall would 100% recommend this trip.


Above & Beyond Service with Mr. Santa - Black Santa Tours & Safaris!* ⭐⭐
5/5

If you want someone who treats you like family, book with Mr. Santa from Black Santa Tours.

We got introduced to Mr. Santa on short notice when we decided we wanted to go to Mombasa for a one day adventure for quad biking, boat cruising, and the sand dunes. *Despite the short notice, he still delivered* and made everything seamless.

His advice was simple: "Book the 10pm train to Mombasa and I’ll pick you up." And he meant it.

Mr. Santa literally left his house around *2am* and waited at the Mombasa terminal until our train arrived at *4am*. Who does that?! He then drove us straight to Malindi and even *paid for our breakfast* before we started the day.

*Our day with him:*
1. *Mambrui* — Quad biking, camel ride, and playing on the sand dunes. So much fun and he made sure we were safe and got great photos.
2. *Water Park* — We couldn’t do the activities due to logistics, but Mr. Santa didn’t let that stop us. He immediately made other plans.
3. *Boat Cruise* — He got us on a boat cruise at another location so we didn’t miss out on that experience.
4. *Lunch with Family* — The sweetest part. He took us to have lunch where his lovely wife *Isabella* joined us. It felt so personal and welcoming.
5. *Drop-off* — He then drove us back and dropped us at the train terminal for our trip back to Nairobi.

Mr. Santa is reliable, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond. Black Santa Tours isn’t just a business — it’s hospitality from the heart.

If you’re going to Mombasa/Malindi, do not think twice. Book Mr. Santa. You’ll get adventure, good food, new friends, and memories for life. Highly recommended!

Everything was well organized and a perfect first safari experience! Definitely would recommend!!
5/5

All in all it was a perfect experience in Kenya! Would definitely recommend blacksanta for a nice safari experience. Herbert was reachable all the time and could support with everything.

Great service, lots of wildlife, nice guides.
5/5

We've seen lots of wildlife in Hell's Gate (zebras, giraffes, buffalos, impalas, pumbas, baboons) and Lake Naivasha/Crescent Island (same as before + hippos, waterbucks and a lot of big birds including pelicans and eagles). You can be VERY close to a wildlife, e.g. baby giraffes are not afraid of you and they approach just 1 meter next to you. Contact with tour operator was non-problematic, guides were professional and knowledgeable, driver was very kind. 100% recommend.

Super Responsive
5/5

An Amazing Safari Experience with Black Santa Safari!

We had a fantastic 5-night Kenya experience with Black Santa Safari — 3 nights in Masai Mara, 1 night in Nairobi and 1 night at Lake Naivasha.

Herbert is truly the go-to guy — super responsive, helpful, and always willing to accommodate the little things that make a trip special.

Our guide and driver, Isaac, was simply outstanding! Extremely friendly, knows everyone around, has great knowledge of the Mara, and drives confidently without GPS. He made sure we spotted the Big 5 — multiple times!

Highly recommended. They definitely won’t disappoint!
