Everything I heard about them was 100% true - and then some!
5/5

I had heard a lot of great things about African Hagyko Safaris from trusted friends and family members who had used them in the past. I'll admit I was a bit nervous that my expectations were a bit "built-up" by all the good reports and that in the end I'd be disappointed. Nothing could be further from the truth. They exceeded my expectations in every way! We had the pleasure of having both James and Harrison as drivers for different segments of our trip.

Here are a few things I particularly appreciated:
* Lots of animal sightings! It wasn't luck. James used his knowledge of the animals and his experienced eye, and also used the radio to find out about sightings from other guides.
* Always on time, never rushed. We had a complicated schedule, and despite my and my husband's tendency to be late, James was always patient, always smiling, never making us feel rushed - and always got us to our next thing on time.
* Friendly and knowledgeable. James, through the things he shared, helped us to really connect with the Kenyan people, history and life in general. With him and Harrison, we felt like we were traveling with friends, not a hired company.
* I'd be remiss if I didn't mention James' amazing 90's song playlist for the long drives :)

Excellent service and communication.
5/5

We loved our experience with Hagyko. Bernard was very responsive and communicated frequently throughout the booking/planning process that gave us peace of mind and confidence that everything was being handled. From our pick to drop off we had an u forgettable trip. Our driver James was very knowledgeable and provided us incite into the culture and information about the animals throughout the trip. The accommodations and food were exceptional. I would highly recommend booking with Hagyko.

Beautiful Kenya Up Close and Personal
5/5

Wow! Our fearless and knowledgeable driver, Moses, led us through rugged terrain with ease, pointing out wildlife along the way. He named the animal and fauna and pointed us to descriptions of each one in his safari books. He took us off road so we could get the best views of moving wildlife in their natural habitats. He was personable, thoughtful, and fun always reminding us to hydrate! It was a magical experience! I felt comfortable and safe. When I return to Kenya, I will only choose this company for any of my tours.

Vehicles are comfortable reliable and capable of handling rugged terrain. Pop up tops allow you take photos without getting sunburned.

Experience the Majesty of Kenya
5/5

Peter Ndungu transported our group to and from Sopa Lodge in Maasai Mara, and took us on a full day of safari. With 15 years of experience and thousands of safaris all over Kenya under his belt, he was so knowledgeable about the preserve and its animals. We were so close to the wildlife—5 feet from a mating pair of lions who took refuge from the sun under a Land Rover! We were up close and personal with herds of elephants and water buffalo, giraffes, and even a lounging cheetah! We had so many questions about Kenya, its people and its wildlife, and he was able to answer every one. He was also happy to teach us Swahili along the way. It was the trip of a lifetime. You will not be disappointed.

The BEST trip ever! Thank you African Hagyko Safari!
5/5

From start to finish our experience was fabulous! Once in touch with Bernard, we easily communicated via WhatsApp to arrange our trip, he was never pushy and suggested the best options to us. He also helped us with other aspects of our Kenya trip to make sure we had the best experience even before we stayed our Safari.

The Safari itself was perfect! Our driver Wachira is unbelievably knowledgeable about the parks and where to find the animals, we learnt so much from him. We found that we saw a lot more animals than others from alternative companies. Wachira ensured we were always comfortable and well catered for. It was a genuine pleasure to spend a week on safari with him!

Don’t hesitate to book your safari with African Hagyko, you’ll not regret your experience!! 🤗

I have worked with several guides. James is the best: honest, safe, expert: he is our guide for life
5/5

Harrison and the African Hagyfo Safari team are the best in the business. They take care of couples, families and groups of 200 with equal ease. They are professional, honest, safe, and truly local experts. We have been on both a magical second honeymoon Safari with James and they have hosted our entire high school multiple times, safely taking care of about 200 students, teachers, chaperones, and guides. We look forward to life changing adventures with them for a long time!

A life-changing journey filled with authenticity and heart
5/5

Our experience with African Hagyko Safaris was truly unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized — from the itinerary to the accommodations — with great care, passion, and professionalism. Bernard made us feel welcomed like friends, always attentive and ready to share the true spirit of Africa.
Our driver, John, was exceptional: professional, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made every journey safe and enjoyable, always with a smile.
We discovered breathtaking landscapes, amazing wildlife, and above all, the warmth of the people. This trip was much more than a safari — it was an experience that touched our hearts and changed our way of seeing life.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience Africa in the most authentic way.

Without doubt an excellent friendly unrivalled service from the company and my guide EXCELLENT
5/5

Could not recommend the company more highly. My guide and driver was brilliant friendly and made the safari an unparalleled success. More best friend than a guide whose success with finding game was fantastic.
I would not think twice about using the company again in fact it will be my very first choice.
Brilliant Safari
