Simply great
Pumba Reisen was the best tour operator we could have wished for. They anticipated our every need. During the Kilimanjaro climb, we had a fantastic, caring crew and amazing food, and the guides led us perfectly to the summit. The safari was flawless; the guide showed us the "Big Five" and explained everything perfectly. We finished the trip in Zanzibar—all organized by Pumba Reisen. Value for money, accommodations, and service—everything was perfect. Thank you for an unforgettable time.

AMAZING
The tour is really well-organized; I have no negative feedback at all. A special shout-out goes to our legendary driver Julius—he's the absolute best! Knowledgeable, super fun, and during the safari, he ensures you get the best possible experience away from the jeep traffic jams. Excellent value for money

Majestic
Julius was amazing throughout our entire safari. He was always patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and had an exceptional talent for finding the best wildlife viewing spots. He was kind, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable.
On top of that, he was genuinely funny and so warm and friendly that it felt like we had known him for years. He made our safari even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

An amazing experience
Laurence was a perfect and very reliable guide. We saw all the Big Five and, in fact, every animal we could possibly see. Laurence’s driving is fast and safe; he’s friendly and very knowledgeable.
Communication with Glory was always easy and quick; she went out of her way to meet all our needs.
Everything was perfect! I highly recommend them.

Excellent
The trip, organized by Mr Anderson (Savannah Explorer Ltd) to Tanzania was simply magnificent! The safari exceeded all expectations: breathtaking landscapes, incredible animal sightings, and impeccable organization from start to finish. The guide Richard wad highly trained and passionate, ensuring we enjoyed the experience with just the right amount of adrenaline and safety. The lodges were also top-notch, offering warm and authentic hospitality, and the food was truly excellent everywhere.
We spent the last two days at the beach on Mafia Island, in its splendid marine park: a fantastic finale, amid crystal-clear waters and pristine nature that perfectly complements the safari experience.
I recommend this trip to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable African adventure: Tanzania has captured our hearts!"

Splendid Vacations – A Truly Memorable Safari
We chose Splendid Vacations for our 8-day journey to Kenya and Tanzania, and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Before departure, Maryann was always patient and responsive, answering our many questions and adjusting the itinerary through email. Even after arrival, whenever issues arose, she was quick and willing to help, which gave us great peace of mind.
During the trip, we had three guides, each leaving a wonderful impression. Alex worked tirelessly to find the best angles for photography, often anticipating where animals would approach so we could enjoy close encounters with breathtaking scenes. We indeed captured many good pictures and videos during the trip！He also brought us much joy throughout the journey.
Samwel impressed us with his daily effort to keep the safari vehicle clean and comfortable after each game drive. His driving was steady, and he supported us with practical needs such as buying SIM cards, exchanging currency, and visiting shops. During our dinner with Samwel, we also learned quite a bit of the local language and listened to him share about his own life, which allowed us to understand more about the local culture. It was a fun and meaningful exchange.His humor and patience made the experience even more enjoyable, and we were lucky to witness both the Big Five and the Great Migration with him.
The third guide we met was Julius, with whom we spent a shorter amount of time.He shared with us a wealth of knowledge about elephants, and through our conversations we could feel that he is truly a nature lover, bringing us many detailed observations and experiences. He is also a humorous and cheerful “big guy” . Most importantly, from him we genuinely experienced the spirit of Hakuna Matata. On our last evening, while having dinner, we suddenly received the news that our flight had been cancelled, which made us immediately worried. After meeting him and explaining the situation, possibly needing him to extend his time to take us to the airport, he kept reassuring us with the phrase “Hakuna Matata,” which gave us peace of mind. We are grateful to him for finally escorting us safely to the airport, ensuring our luggage was handled securely, and bringing our journey to a perfect close.
Thanks to Splendid Vacations, our very first safari was complete and fulfilling. Every moment in Africa felt precious and full of happiness. We are deeply grateful for the team’s professionalism, care, and dedication, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

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!
