Well organized and time efficient safari
Very good communication via WhatsApp, good punctuality and reliability. The driver Stephen explained a lot of details about Kenya and the region during the drive to Hell’s Gate and lake Naivasha. Given the road conditions, the drive was safe and defensive.
Price included many things, e.g entrance to Hells Gate, bike rental, boat trip. Lunch was nice at additional cost of 1500 KES.
At Hells Gate I had a great guide Gomez, who paid my attention to details like Acacia bushes, hyena footprints and also provided a lot of insights of the area. He spots animals with ease from a distance, so you can rely on him. One of many highlights was the walk through the Gorge.
The boat trip on lake Navaisha showed us hippos, African fish eagles, cormorants, herons - we could use more info on the lake itself.
Overall a very good experience!
PERFECT!
From start to finish, the organization was super. Punctual, and both the driver Omar and Herbert were incredibly friendly and helpful, both before and after booking. I highly recommend Black Santa Safari. Thank you so much for this Trip and experiences!!! THANK YOU!

Once in a lifetime experience
Herbert was the perfect guide. He instantly texts back and took care of everything. He even helped me organize my journey afterwards and gave me some good recommendations. He knew all the good spots to observe animals and gave a lot of background information. I saw everything i wanted and more. Really impressive experience, can only recommend.

An Unforgettable, Top-Tier Safari Experience!
My spouse and I recently booked a private safari to the Masai Mara with Black Santa Safaris, and it was a truly spectacular and fascinating experience from start to finish. If you are looking for an agency that delivers flawless execution, exceptional reliability, and incredible value for money, this is it.
From our very first inquiry, the communication from the office team was prompt, clear, and highly professional, making the booking process completely stress-free. Every logistical detail was handled with precision, giving us peace of mind regarding their reliability.
The tour itself was absolutely magical. Having a private booking allowed us to customize our pace and fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes of the Mara. The level of tailored service we received throughout the entire trip was unmatched.
A massive shoutout and heartfelt thank you to our incredible driver and tour guide, James. He was absolutely exceptional! His deep knowledge of the wildlife, sharp spotting eyes, and warm hospitality turned every game drive into an adventure. James went above and beyond to ensure we were positioned perfectly for some unforgettable wildlife sightings while sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem.
Black Santa Safaris offers an elite experience that is worth every penny. We cannot recommend them—and James—highly enough to anyone looking for the ultimate African safari!

Amazing experience
We went on a 3-day safari to Tsavo East and Taita Hills with Black Santa Safaris and we loved it! Our driver and owner of the company, Herbert, was very punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. In total, we did around 12 hours of game drive, allowing us to spot many animals. This was our first time on a safari and we felt well taken care of! Herbert was also very responsive by email and WhatsApp whenever we had a question.
Great experience with Black Santa!
I had a great experience in Tsavo East with Black Santa and Patrick as my guide! The communication in the lead up to the trip was great, the pick up was seamless, Patrick was super knowledgeable and a great and safe driver, who made me feel safe as a solo female traveler the whole time. The Voi lodge was really nice, with a lovely view of a watering hole, visited by elephants and hippos. There was a good food selection and the rooms were nice.
It was just a great experience overall! We saw loads of animals- elephants, giraffes, zebras, a lion, and many different kinds of antelope.
I would highly recommend Black Santa and Patrick as a guide!
Great trip!
We have just finished the 3 day, 2 night tour of Tsavo East and Taita Hills with Black Santa. We can not fault the trip, from start to finish Herbert was knowledgeable and ensured we had the best time ever. The accomodation - Voi Safari lodge and Salt Lick were amazing and the food was great! Highly recommend :)

So welcoming and informative
I went on one of Herbert’s safaris in June of 2026 and could not fault it! I was part of a group of 21 year old girls and we had the absolute best time! Herbert made everything about the experience so straight forward - from picking us up from our hostel in Mombasa to dropping us off at our next hostel in Diani Beach at the end of the safari. The entire safari was so straight forward to organise thanks to Herbert, and the experience was exactly as planned. Herbert is so informative about the national parks and made us feel so comfortable and welcoming. He had bottles of water on offer throughout the whole thing and made sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this safari to anyone!

The best safari!
We went as a group of 5 young girls who were a bit wary of travelling alone and getting from one place to another around Kenya but Herbert made all of us feel so safe from picking us up and dropping us off to our next destination and providing waters for the whole weekend. He made sure we went on the best game drives and told us so many facts about each animal! I couldn’t recommend a better company to book your safari through!!
