A Well-Curated Journey of Contrasts: Comfort, Wildness, Regret, and Surprise
5/5

The journey began with our email communication with Irene — her professional, prompt, and precise responses quickly put our minds at ease. About a week before our departure, she managed to book a hotel that had already shown as sold out. We’re truly grateful for such a highly competent team. They even informed the hotels in advance that we were on our honeymoon, and as a result, we received some lovely surprises and scenic dining arrangements.
Our safari guide was Ben — a humorous and knowledgeable professional with nine years of experience. He skillfully navigated through crowded areas to find the best spots for photography, knew countless hidden routes, and had access to a wide network of information. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, the wildebeest river crossing, and the Great Migration. His deep understanding of animal behavior and his thoughtful scheduling allowed us to witness wildlife at their most active, while still having plenty of time to rest and take in the moments.
Although we unfortunately didn’t get to see Mount Kilimanjaro due to the weather, the surprises and joy throughout the rest of the trip more than made up for it. It was truly an unforgettable experience — thank you to such a professional and dedicated team.

5/5

I had an excellent experience. Everything was well organised, very responsive , and choice of jeep and accommodation was better than expected. Our guide Dan went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. It's important that you have a good jeep as you'll be spending most of your waking time in it.

Sufficient
3/5

It’s difficult to leave a negative review after such a magical experience in Kenya—going on safari is truly unforgettable. That said, our experience with Hyrax Safaris was mixed.

While the overall trip was incredible, we found our time in the Masai Mara to be underwhelming due to our guide/driver. Unfortunately, he was largely uncommunicative and disengaged. He rarely spoke to us or offered insights about the wildlife, which left us feeling disconnected from the experience. There were long periods where we drove around in silence without spotting animals, followed by sudden, unexplained changes in direction. We often felt unsure of what was happening or what to expect.

The most uncomfortable moment came on our final evening when he unexpectedly had us exit the vehicle at a riverbed without any explanation. We were then handed off to an armed park officer who led us on a brief walk to view hippos—and promptly informed us that tips would be expected. While the walk itself wasn’t the issue, a simple heads-up or inclusion in the itinerary would’ve made this feel much more comfortable and transparent.

In contrast, our driver in Amboseli National Park was outstanding—friendly, informative, and genuinely passionate about the environment and animals. His approach made that portion of the trip far more enjoyable and engaging.

With a few changes in guide communication and professionalism, this could have been a flawless experience.

Epic adventure, good people!
5/5

We hiked Mt Kenya over 4 days. The whole experience was such a good adventure. The guides and porters were all so friendly and went out of their way to make sure you had a good time. Our main guide Dan was really helpful and generous. There were other hikers and groups around on the mountain but it didnt feel too busy which can take away from the sense of remotness and adventure. As I mentioned we hiked it over 4 days, I would suggest doing it over 5 days to help with the acclimatisation as we definitely felt it.

Hyrax were a great company, Irene always responded prompting to our emails and requests. They also dropped us to the airport at the end of the trip which we hadn't expected.

Thank you for an amazing experience and looking after us so well!

Great experience
5/5

Amazing 6 days with Hyrax safari! We went to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. We had a wonderful time there. Communication with Irene is smooth and transparent. We enjoyed game safari, stay and food. It was a lifetime experience!
