beautiful experience in Tsavo East and Taita Hills
Our guide, Patrick, accompanied us on this wonderful three-day adventure in Tsavo East and Taita Hills National Parks. We were fortunate and honored to see so many animals and Kenya's fantastic landscapes! Patrick was incredibly kind and professional, explaining everything in detail and making this an incredible experience. We stayed at Voi Safari Lodge and SaltLick Lodge, both truly beautiful, immersed in nature and equipped with every comfort.
I recommend this experience to everyone
Go with Black Santa Tours....Herbert will make sure you are taken care of!
At first I was skeptical. I was worried about getting scammed. The reviews about Black Santa Safari were great so we went with them. Everything from start to finish was 100%!! We went with the 3 day luxury package and were not disappointed. They use a govt run sight for the deposit and balance payment that doesn't look too official but it worked and I was emailed a receipt. I didn't pay my balance until Ithe dsy of my Safari. As I was still skeptical. If you hoose to do it tha t way, give yourself a few hours for it to register before pick up. Now that I know they are legit, I could pay a few days ahead from home as the wifi there can be spotty...or just bring cash. From the accommodations to the food and spotting wildlife this Safari company were 10 out of 10! Our driver, Ronald picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel on time. He was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. He even made an unexpected stop to show us the Great Rift Valley! We thought about renting a car and driving ourselves but after being on the roads and them driving on the opposite side as USA , We're glad we didn't. That area of Niarobi/Masi Mara doesn't take American Express but my Mastercard was fine. They use Kenyan Shillings there but do take American dollars for tips and souvenirs. I would also recommend the Masi village stop for $30 us up. It was very interesting! Thank you so much Herbert from Black Santa Tours!

Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly-BlackSanta Safari turned our dream trip into reality.
If you are looking for an incredible and memorable safari experience, I recommend BlackSanta Safari!
We booked a safari to the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. Everything was organized seamlessly, allowing us to just relax and enjoy the wild beauty of Kenya.
We were lucky enough to see so many animals! From giant herds of elephants and majestic giraffes to zebras, buffaloes,(big)cats, and various bird species.
BlackSanta was phenomenal. The driver/guide had incredible knowledge about the park, sharp eyes for spotting animals hidden in the bush, and a genuine passion for wildlife.
If you want an authentic, well-managed safari with fantastic game viewing, go with BlackSanta Safari.
Thank you to the whole team for making this trip so special-we will definitely be back!

An unforgettable safari with an amazing guide—highly recommended for families!
We had an amazing 3-day safari to Tsavo East and Taita Hills/ Salt Lick, and we are very happy with the whole experience and the way the trip was organized.
Communication with our guide before the safari was very quick, clear, and helpful. Everything was well organized, and any small issues that came up during the trip were handled smoothly and without any problems.
Santa is a wonderful, cheerful, and genuinely kind person with a great knowledge of wildlife. It was clear from the very beginning that he truly cared about making our safari special. He did everything he could to help us see as many animals as possible and, most importantly, to make sure that our 10-year-old son had an unforgettable holiday. Santa's passion, experience, and positive attitude made the whole safari even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend this safari and would definitely choose Santa again. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure and wonderful memories!

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!

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!
