Our overall experience was amazing!
Black santa was professional and easy going from start till end.
I had a couple of requests for individualising our safari tour and they were all met perfectly. We paid everything, including add ons, up front so there was no hastle and no need for plenty of cash on the trip.
Then on the start day of our trip we were picked up right on time by our guide and driver, Opany.
He is a well experienced, extremely kind-hearted and 110% trustworthy guy from the start. He's a very good driver, always on time for the start of the day. He answered all our questions, was funny and gave us some of his stories from.20 years in the job. At the same time, he always knew, when to give a quiet time for enjoying the experience and view with the animals.
Visiting Amboseli and Tsavo East was a memory building trip with all the animals we hoped for and mesmerising diverse of nature.
AA lodge in Amboseli was great overall. One slight improvement would be if there was less music since after a day of safari we'd prefer to just enjoy a quiet time. Another would be a smoother coordination with the stuff of the balloon ride. When we were picked up, the gate didn't open at first, because they thought we'd go without check-out. The hastle had us come a bit late for the balloon start and our driver had a stressful time arriving just in time.
The Voi Wildlife Lodge in Tsavo is good for groups who like a bit of party and pool time. For a couple preferring quietness and private space it's not perfect. The rooms are not insulated too much concerning noise and smoke from the neighbours.
While the view on a water hole with animals is great, it could be more classy with less light on the evening and especially without flashing lights in a selfie-area. Those can be great for tourists, but it seems a bit too much for the animals. Still depending on what you're looking for.
Definitely for one night it's perfectly fine.
Overall would 100% recommend this trip.

The trip of a lifetime 🇷🇼🦍🐘
Traveling to Rwanda has been a wonderful experience, and it was all thanks to the organization of Lion Safaris, especially Emile, who was our driver.
From seeing the mountain gorillas to exploring Akagera and the adventure in the Nyungwe forest, every single detail was carefully taken care of.
What we valued the most was being able to get to know the country to the fullest and Emile's kindness—he was always attentive to every detail of our stay and gave us the best advice to enjoy each park and the local culture. Seeing incredible wildlife and traveling through the country with such peace of mind is priceless.
Thank you for making this adventure unforgettable! 😊

Very Lucky
Our guide Temba was absolutely fantastic. He showed us all the animals and sights we hoped to see, and every day brought new surprises. He had excellent knowledge of where the animals were, and his driving skills were superb — he could always quickly get us to spot lions and leopards. His judgment on the timing and locations of the wildebeest crossings was spot-on; over two days, we witnessed four river crossings. He also gave really informative explanations about animal behavior!
