Did not see Mount Kilamanjaro at all, which was very disappointing. Game drive was ok, but guide was driving too fast for us to take good photos. It was just an ok tour, not sure if it’s worth the money.
Thank you for the feedback, the weather its self wasn't good to see a clear view of the mountain it was cloudy and rainy so it made the driver to be a bit fast. but you could ask the driver to slow down so that you can take good pictures next time we will ha great time thank you
I first traveled to Kenya in February 2020 and it was then I met Santa. As a woman traveling solo, I was a bit cautious and Santa acted as my guide, my photographer, and my bodyguard (not that it was needed). I felt very safe and Santa’s humor and knowledge were so memorable that I asked if he could take my mother around when she went on her solo trip in November 2023. The tour surpassed every expectation each time. I don’t have enough words to express how good of a friend Santa is. I would not hesitate booking a tour with him.

Wonderful experience, very rewarding. Seen a lot of animals against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Our Guide Black Santa knew exactly where to go and showed us all the beauty of the park. He neatly kept to all agreements and something that had gone wrong with the booking through no fault of his own was quickly resolved by him neatly and quickly

What can I even say. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Black Santa arrived on time at 5am, he was courteous, well humoured and very clearly loves his job. The drive is long from Nairobi but Black Santa keeps you informed of where you are, when you will be stopping and where the washrooms will be available. We stopped once at a rest stop which had food as well as a big gift shop (I will say we felt the prices were quite high as we found similar items for less but you are not pressured to buy) We were lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro on the way to the park gate as well as wild giraffes which is apparently quite rare! In the park, we saw zebras, buffalo, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, copious amounts of different birds including flamingos and amazingly herds of elephants. It was such a privilege to see these animals in the wild and Black Santa was great at getting us close to them. Lunch was great. Lots of variety and I was looked after as a vegetarian too! Overall, I would highly recommend this tour. It's well organised, well run and an all round fantastic experience!
Hello, Thankyou for your feedback we highly appreciate you for choosing us. It is our pleasure to serve you to your satisfactory. best regards Black santa
Santa is a well informed and good humored guy. The Toyota seems to be the most robust car we ever sit in. The views in the park with the Kilimanjaro in the background we're just amazing. We saw a lot of elephants (very close), buffalos, zebras, giraffes, antilopes....it was totally worth it!
