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!

Excellent service
Our experience with balu was fantastic. Our guide Johnson was especially good. He was always on time, the car was clean and he was very friendly. The lodges we stayed at was also very nice. I would recommend the trip to others.

Great driver/guide!
Nico who was our driver was a great driver, guide, and human! We felt welcomed, well informed and safe with Nico as a safari driver. Great communication thru whatsapp with him the day before pickup and while on the way to pick us up. Always kept his time and word, pleasant, calm way of being. Good driving skills in the crazy traffic that we often met on the small roads with trailers.
Due to dry time we didn’t see as much animals as the time before, but that’s the nature of Game Drive - it’s a game. However, Nico found some more rare animals that I haven’t seen before!

True professionals – they handled everything, so I just enjoyed myself.
We got up early every day, and it paid off – we saw all the Big Five, and finally tracked down a leopard with our guide's help. The chef's food was fantastic every day. A few practical tips: expect a lot of dust on the roads; Serengeti camps had no hot water for showers, but Ngorongoro Simba camp did have hot water, though it was freezing cold at night – bring a warm down jacket!

Amazing safari! We had so many unforgettable experiences. We definitely recommend it!
We contacted Arina Wild shortly before our trip to Kenya. We were a family of four – two adults and two children (aged 9 and 12). Lian from the agency responded almost immediately and was always quick to answer our questions.
After arriving in Kenya, everything went exactly as planned. Our driver was waiting for us at the hotel and took us to our accommodation near Masai Mara National Reserve.
On our very first evening game drive, we saw a wide variety of animals, which made for an unforgettable experience. The following day, we enjoyed a full-day game drive, during which we witnessed the great migration of wildebeest and zebras and even saw lions hunting several times.
Special thanks also go to our guide, Edward. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, knew exactly where to find the animals, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the safari. Exploring the park with him was truly an amazing experience.
We highly recommend Arina Wild to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

A truly immersive safari experience we'll remember for a lifetime
We booked a 5-day private family safari with Ndutu Green Explorers (2 adults and 2 children, aged 12 and 8), visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara.
From the planning stage, the team was responsive, flexible, and willing to accommodate our requests. Everything was organized exactly as agreed, and we always felt supported.
A special thank you goes to our guide, Culvert. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always focused on making our experience the best it could be. He answered our endless questions, shared his knowledge of wildlife and local culture, taught us a little Swahili, and constantly looked for something special to show us. He found the perfect balance between being an excellent guide and a wonderful travel companion.
The safari vehicle was comfortable, clean, and always stocked with cold drinks and snacks. The packed lunches were varied and tasty, and all the accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well located.
A safari involves long drives and plenty of patience but thanks to Ndutu Green Explorers and Culvert, every day was engaging, enjoyable, and memorable.
I would highly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers, especially to families looking for a well-organized and authentic safari experience in Tanzania

Exceptional safari with an outstanding guide
We had an amazing safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris and would highly recommend them.
The safari exceeded all our expectations. We saw an incredible number of lions, elephants and hippos, as well as many other animals, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
The only part of the trip that could have been better organized was the transfer from the ferry to the train after our arrival from Zanzibar. As no car had been arranged, we had to rush through the very busy streets of Dar es Salaam with our luggage to catch the train. It was a stressful experience, but fortunately it was the only hiccup during an otherwise seamless journey.
The highlight of our safari was undoubtedly our guide, Nuhu. His knowledge of the wildlife, the natural environment and the Mikumi park was simply outstanding. We challenged him with what must have been hundreds of questions throughout the trip, and he always had thoughtful, detailed and fascinating answers. Beyond his impressive knowledge, he generously shared his own experiences and perspectives on life in Tanzania. This gave us a much deeper understanding not only of the wildlife and ecosystems, but also of the people, culture and everyday life. Thanks to Nuhu, this became far more than a safari—it was a rich, holistic experience that taught us so much about both nature and the country. His passion, professionalism, and warm yet humble personality made this a journey we will never forget.
If you’re looking for a reliable tour operator with exceptional guides, we can wholeheartedly recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris.

We had such an amazing time in Gulu, Northern Uganda! ✨
Everything was organized to perfection, from the transportation and accommodation to the activities, meals, and every little detail in between. The entire experience was seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this trip so special. Gulu’s beauty, warmth, and hospitality made every moment worth it. Looking forward to the next adventure! 🌍❤️

Magical Kenya experience with Michoore Tours
Alex was a great tour guide on my solo trip to Kenya. He did great job of explaining all I needed to know about wherever it was we went. I did several tours with him to include Nairobi National Park, Hell's Gate National Park, and a Nairobi walking tour, just to name a few. He gave me several tour options and I chose the ones that seemed most interesting and that I had the time to do. He was also very patient and flexible and guided me in exploring the food and culture of Kenya. 16 days was not enough time to see and do everything that I wanted to do, so I will return soon and use Alex as my tour guide again.
