View on Google MapsThe day was well organized from pick-up to drop-off, and the drive was reasonably comfortable despite the long distance. Black Santa was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the park and wildlife. He was native to Mombasa and we felt fortunate to have him as a guide and driver. The highlight of our day was a family of lions lounging under a tree. Since cats are so difficult to see in the parks, we were very happy. We saw a lot of elephants which were a shade of red from the soil. There were the usual antelope and other small animals and birds. Unfortunately, we didn’t see giraffes. There were long stretches of driving without any animals. Our van had a top that lifted which made seeing the animals and taking pictures fantastic. Black Santa clearly knows the park well and shared interesting information along the way, which added to the overall experience without being overwhelming. Lunch inside the park was a nice break and a chance to take in the scenery. Overall, it was a solid and memorable safari experience, and we would recommend Black Santa to anyone looking for a trip to Tsavo East from the coast.
Herbert from Black Santa was great to deal with. He was very helpful and responsive during the booking process and flexible to change the itinerary to meet our specific pickup and drop off needs. During our overnight safari to Tsavo East, he was friendly, organized and shared great knowledge on the wildlife we saw. We very much enjoyed our stay at Với Safari Lodge and had a very memorable 2 days thanks to Black Santa.

I recommend taking this tour to everyone. The service was exceptional, the safari breathtaking. So many unique experiences. Hotel was very clean. Lastly, the guide Benjamin was exceptional. Very experienced, very professional, I learned a great lot from him, this is not the case for every safari guide, so really recommend to join him on a tour!
My husband and I went to Tsavo East from Mombasa. The guide, benjamin, picked us up from the hotel right on time. He gave us an overview of what the trip entailed. We stopped briefly for breakfast provided by the hotel on the way, and were at the park by 8:30am. We stopped for 1 hour for lunch; the restaurant was at an elephant watering hole, so we watched different groups of elephants as we ate lunch. We saw lots of animals-lions, elephants, buffalo, a hippo, giraffes, lots of zebras and lots of gazelles/antelopes. We called Benjamin the lion whisperer because he could literally sense the lions. One time he backed up the vehicles and stared intensely at the bushes till he saw the lions he sensed were there. He could see with his naked eye what we needed binoculars to see. We returned to our hotel at about 7 pm. It was a very good trip and I would highly recommend Benjamin and this tour.
I had an amazing safari. Faith arranged for the driver to contact me about the exact pickup time. And Leonard, the driver, showed up right on time. It was a private tour so it was just me and him for two days. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and managed to get us to see some really special sights. Two young leopards crossing the road, two baby elephants playing in the water. And much more. I have been on a couple safaris before but this was next level! (And the rate was also pretty good)
