Tsavo East Safari
5/5

We had a very nice 2-day safari tour to Tsavo East from Diani Beach with Herbert. He's a very friendly and professional guide.

Perfect communication & organisation
5/5

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!

5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Very funny and smart guy.
5/5

We have travelled with Herbert. We had a really good time with him, he had a good knowledge of the animal and was very funny. Would always go again with him. We enjoyed him so much that we did another tour with him for snorkeling.

What a great first time experience!
5/5

If its your first time or if your an experienced Safari goer, Black Santa is the way to go. He is very friendly and had good communication from the beginning. This was top notch. He laid out the days activities from start to finish. Any questions we had he was happy to answer. He made you feel comfortable, during the whole trip. On the tour he had good knowledge of what we were observing and we never felt rushed. He went above and beyond. When we come back, we will be using Black Santa again!
