Perfect from start to finish. Our driver was prompt and attentive and explained everything to us.
From start to finish our safari was perfect! Our tour guide arrived on time and was very courteous and helpful!
The Salt Lick Lodge was the the most magical place to stay, we woke up to elephants drinking from the waterhole outside our bedroom window, it was so lovely to see the baby elephants too!
Our driver picked us up early, before breakfast, he took us out on safari for around 2 hours and I have to say we were in awe of all the wildlife! We saw zebras, giraffes, water buffalo, heart beasts to name but a few but the most magical moment of all was seeing the lioness with her 4 cubs, so beautiful and didn’t seem phased by the safari vehicles. Our driver took us to the right places and explained about the animals and their behaviours etc!
I would recommend our tour, very reliable tour guide and staff at Salt Lick lodge were all very welcoming.
Accommodation was basic but you’re not in the room for very long, good selection of food and all run very efficiently!

The best ever Tour Guide in Kenya
I went on the Safari with My Wife and my mother it was such a brilliant experience for us especially my mum of 70 years old. Our Tour Guide Black Santa is so good at his job so much knowledge so good at tracking and spoting animals from far away. He even goes out of his way to do his very best to find u animals eg Lions.
If you book with this compwny you will be well taking care of the park was very good tge place we stayed for one night was amazing with a swimming pool in a safari park. Great views so many memories and photos. And at a very good price you will love Black Santa, you are in safe hands with this man.

Perfect communication & organisation
We booked our safari from Belgium without knowing whether we could trust how the trip would unfold. Well, today I can say that we made the right choice! Communication with Herbert was excellent—he did everything to ensure that everything went perfectly and always replied very quickly to our questions. Our driver, James, was very patient and went out of his way to show us as many animals as possible. The jeep and the lodges were very comfortable. In short: everything was perfect!

We recommend this agency and the guide Patrick ! Thanks
Very friendly, described all the places and even carried my bag most of the way biking to and from
The driver(Steven)came to where I was staying on time and was friendly throughout the journey even stopping for a photp on the way. At Hells gate, I had a try of multiple bicycle before goinig inside and after Hells gate, Steven took me to the lake. All in all, It was an active experience biking through Hells gate and going on a boat ride.

Very friendly,helpful and informative
We booked 3 trips through Black Santa. We were given all the information in advance and any questions were responded to quickly. Everything ran to time and small changes were made to suit our wishes.
The trip to Tsavo is a long day out but worth it to see all the amazing wildlife.
On the Wasini trip we saw dolphins and had some wonderful snorkelling, able to go at the pace of our group with the guide pointing out fish and octopus to us. The stop on the sandbank was magical.
At Shimba Hills there was not so much wildlife but our guide worked hard to find as much as possible for us to see. The walk to the waterfall is lovely but be prepared to get back up the hill afterwards as some it it was quite steep.
We enjoyed each trip. Our only comment was that the safari vehicle was not so comfortable, especially if you need a bit of leg room.

Excellent
Our safari to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park was nothing short of magical—a perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and raw beauty.
Hell’s Gate National Park offered a unique experience unlike any other safari. Instead of staying in a vehicle, we explored the park on foot and by bike, which made the connection to nature feel incredibly personal. Towering cliffs, dramatic gorges, and geothermal features created a landscape that felt almost prehistoric. We spotted zebras, giraffes, and warthogs up close, all while cycling through the park’s winding trails. The highlight was hiking through the gorge, where the rock formations and hot springs made it feel like stepping into a natural cathedral.
After the thrill of Hell’s Gate, Lake Naivasha was a serene contrast. The boat ride across the lake was peaceful and scenic, with hippos lounging in the water and a dazzling array of birdlife—fish eagles, kingfishers, and pelicans. The calm waters mirrored the sky, and the surrounding acacia trees added to the dreamlike atmosphere. We also visited Crescent Island, where viewing freely roaming animals like impalas and waterbucks felt surreal.
The combination of active exploration and peaceful reflection made this safari truly unforgettable. It’s perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience Kenya’s wild beauty in a more intimate and immersive way.
