Our first time in Kenya, our first Safari. Breathtaking! - It was a pleasure having Benjam as our guide. His welcoming when he picked us up was very kind, so we felt comptable from the very first beginning. During the car drive to the national park he explained a lot about the trees and plants we passed. Inside the park he answered all of our queations, in a professionel kinda way. He is doin his job for more than 18 years. What also relaxed us, he is a good and save car driver too. What we loved, was the way he treated the animals, so he let them pass before we drove by, or turned off the car so the animals would not feel afraid or borthered. He is a thoughtful person not just to human beeings. We saw lions, elephants, pumbas, zebras, giraffes and so much more. Thanks to this interresting, exciting and heart warmig adventure made possible by Benjamin, who always wanted us to feel good by the way. So if you want to learn something about the animals inside tsavo nationalparks choose Benjamin as your guide. We can recommand 100%! Kevin and Peggy from Germany.

Black Santa is the best!! - We had an amazing experience with Black Santa. From beginning to end he was attentive, informative and a very knowledgeable person to be with on this incredible experience! He knew the names of all the animals we came in contact with and told us about their habitat and breeding habits!

Unique - It all depends on the communication you have with the company and the tour operator. In my case, I experienced several confusing communication problems. Most important, they tried to change my hotel stay while I had already received a confirmation. This stressed me for several days!

Salt Lick Lodge - Our tour guide was a good driver going to Tvaso West National Park, however he was a terrible tour guide once inside the park. He gave us very little information about our stay at the Salt Lick Lodge which is in serious need of updating. The meals were ok. As far as the game drives, he rarely spoke to us unless we asked a question. One of the passengers in our group consistently spotted the animals in the park instead of him. When we would ask him a question, he didn't seem to understand our question, therefore we got little to no information about the safari animals. Other friends did this excursion also and were very disappointed as well. We were very disappointed that our tour guide was so awful and the drive from our cruise ship and back was over 4.5 hours each day not including the hours you spend in the vehicle doing game drives. My suggestion is to go to Tsavo East which is 3 hours away and much better animal viewing up close.

BOOK DIRECTLY WITH SALT LICK LODGE AND AVOID DEPENDING ON WILDBOND. - IF YOU REALLY WANT A ROOM AT THE SALT LICK LODGE, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOOK DIRECTLY WITH THE LODGE AND AVOID DEPENDING ON WILDBOND. I made a reservation with Wildbond tours in Oct 2025 for a safari and stay a the Salt Lick Lodge in late Jan 2026. I was in contact with Wildbond over the next few months, confirming that there was a room, etc. Wildbond confirmed that the Lodge told them they have a room with a view of the watering hole for us. Wonderful!! This was going to be a highlight of our bucket list trip to Kenya. We were already in Kenya when I received a message from Wildbond about 1 week before our scheduled stay at the Lodge. It was at that point that Wildbond informed me that the lodge was booked, they did not have a room for us and there was nothing they could do. My emotions varied from crushed to furious. How could this be? Wildbond assured me several times that we had a room at the lodge!!! They offered a night at a "spa" instead. I told them that if I wanted a spa experience, I would have reserved a room at a spa. Besides, they gave the impression that a room at the lodge was assured. It appears that they do not have a strong relationship with the Lodge or they never made a reservation at the Lodge on my behalf. The entire experience was frustrating and unprofessional. IF YOU REALLY WANT A ROOM AT THE LODGE, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOOK DIRECTLY WITH THE LODGE AND AVOID DEPENDING ON WILDBOND.
