Off the beaten track experience, difficult to find elsewhere - a must.
Having lived and worked in nearby Inhassoro for the past four years I have tried to visit this gem regularly. I has a real feel of being out there in the middle of now-where, 5 star tourist accommodation it doesn’t have (although it is coming) so it is for those who want to get the true raw experience of being in the bush. Plenty of wild life in the sanctuary area, including the Big Five, outside this area game is more scarce but gradually these areas are also becoming alive once more thanks to the efforts of the management team and sponsors. Guided tours are limited, as is signage so you really can get lost in nature here. Sunrise over the Save from Tondo camp has to be experienced. Having visited many parks across Eastern, Southern and Western Africa this is truly one of my favourites.

Absolutely Amazing!
Tanzania Safari Collection showed our group of 16 everything you think you want to see when visiting Tanzania and so much more during our 11 day safari! As someone from the United States I came with a list of wildlife I was wanting and expecting to see from movies and documentaries and we checked every box and so much more! Any issues encountered during the trip were solved quickly and efficiently by our guide. I would highly recommend Tanzania Safari Collection and our guide Jartan to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania.

Friendly, reliable and knowledgeable
Herbert from Black Santa was great to deal with, he responded to my quiet request quickly and answered all questions in detail.
He was flexible in adapting the tour to suit our needs for pickup in Diani and return to Nairobi.
The itinerary was well put together to maximize the short time we had at Tsavo East and we loved the accommodation at Voi Safari Lodge.
Herbert was friendly and engaging throughout our trip and very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we saw.
He arranged our train transfer from Voi to Nairobi which we found a great way to travel.
We wish we’d had a longer time on this trip, but it was a great way to wrap up our time in Kenya and I’d happily book with Black Santa again.

Horrible Tour Guide Moses Ngugi
The experience was one of a kind. He took us to Maasai Mara Safari from June 7 to 9. He was not friendly, Rude and he was not explaining about the animals or anything pertaining the trip unless you ask. We were expecting good service from Bonfire but it was the worst experience. I will not recommend anyone to use Moses Ngugi as a tour guide he is the worst. The Flair Camp Hosts were Amazing.

Richard is a reliable, flexible, competent, responsive, warm and knowledgeable safari guide.
We had the most memorable and fabulous Safari experience under the tour-guiding of Richard. Not only did our week-long adventure fill with amazing sightings of all kinds of Safari wildlife and beauty of a myriad of African landscapes; it also felt safe, well-paced and comfortable with all the details proactively taken care of, thanks to Richard our Safari guide! Richard is very reliable, flexible, competent, responsive, warm and knowledgeable. If you’re planning a Safari adventure in Tanzania, look no further, contact Richard. You will be well taken care of.

Fessal is a super friendly, nice and trustworthy guide!
We had a wonderful day with Fessal. The communication was very good by email. He picked us up from our hotel very early in the morning for a snorkelling and swim tour at Mnemba island. We had so much fun and it was so beautiful and relax (pole pole!).
In the afternoon we drove to Stone Town and he guided us around in this nice city. We and our kids (15,12 and 10yrs) had a great time with Fessal. He knows a lot about Zanzibar and is easy to talk to. Thank you Fessal!!

Helpful and friendly
What an amazing experience!
My husband and I love to travel and explore new places, but this safari truly left a lasting impression on us—an adventure we will cherish forever. The landscape itself is absolutely breathtaking, and the fact that we got to see 4 out of the Big Five is something we’re incredibly grateful for.
This unforgettable journey was made possible by an exceptional team. Our safari driver was not only knowledgeable and passionate but also deeply respectful of the wild. You could see him watching the animals alongside us with the same excitement as someone experiencing it for the first time. On the final hour of our safari, he even went out of his way to find a lion for us—just because he knew how special that moment would be.
The accommodation was stunning. To make the experience even more authentic, we had a surprise "roommate"—a curious little bush baby trying to sneak into our tent! The facilities were beyond expectations; taking a warm shower in the heart of a national park made us feel both comfortable and connected to nature in a way we never imagined.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making this trip so special. Your passion, care, and hospitality made all the difference. We’ll never forget it!
