Our travel party had both Wichira and James. Both were exceptionally professional, kind, and helpfu
Our travel party had both Wichira and James as drivers and both were exceptionally kind, helpful and created a safe environment. Our family spent most of our drives with James who provided light hearted conversation, information on the area, and created rapport with each family member over the course of our time. Thank you both for a wonderful experience!! We look forward to seeing you again!

Exceptional Company, Outstanding Service - Above the Rest! Highly Recommended
We had the trip of a lifetime with African Hagyko Safaris. From my very first communication with the company, I was incredibly impressed. Bernard’s professionalism, prompt replies, and genuinely courteous support were far above and beyond any other safari company I had compared. He answered every question with care and made the entire planning process feel seamless and trustworthy.
Once on safari, our guide Harrison made the experience unforgettable. With 30 years of experience, his knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and animal behavior was extraordinary. He made sure we left not only with amazing pictures, but with a real education and appreciation for everything we were seeing. Harrison is also just a lovely human being. During one part of the trip, after heavy rains, he took the time to help a junior guide get his safari jeep unstuck from a creek — which spoke volumes about his kindness, humility, and character.
Everything about this experience was 5-star. We are so grateful, and we will absolutely book with African Hagyko Safaris again. Highly, highly recommended.

Outstanding. Super Professional and no worries that they would be there early and prepared.
Great service. Wichira and James were outstanding and fun! We would recommend them to anyone!
Amazing trip - thanks to the operator
The first contacts were amazing with Bernard - reactivity, easy communication, flexibility, reliability. Bernard provides quotes and answers so quickly, it is a pleasure to organize a trip with him. I hope every of my future trips will be assisted with Bernard…
We feel considered, and expected. Everything is perfect and he is so arranging.
Then, upon our arrival, we had an amazing welcome, as if we were coming home. Bernard welcomed us and introduced us to our guide, Sam.
During our 4-day safari, Sam was really amazing. He went above and beyond to show us the best scenes of animal life. He explained us so many things about the secrets of the wildlife, that was really impressive. He is kind, flexible and really reliable. He showed an amazing sense of service, and a deep expertise in the safari.
Finally, our trip would not have been the same without those guys. They are the best, and they really made us feel home.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with African Hagyko Safaris in Kenya, and a huge part of it was thanks to our amazing guide - Harrison 👏 From the very beginning, it was clear that he is a true professional who genuinely loves what he does. His English was excellent, which made communication easy and enjoyable, and he shared so much knowledge with us throughout the trip.
Harrison is also an extremely experienced and skilled driver — every journey was smooth, comfortable, and felt effortless. Even long drives passed quickly because he made them so engaging and pleasant.
Thanks to his expertise and sharp eye, we were able to see an incredible number of animals during our safari — far more than we ever expected. Harrison knew exactly where to go and when, and his deep understanding of animal behavior allowed us to witness truly special moments. He explained fascinating facts about the wildlife, their habits, and their interactions, which made the whole experience even more meaningful and immersive.
What we especially appreciated was that Harrison always gave us enough time to enjoy each sighting — to observe, take photos, and even watch hunting scenes without feeling rushed.
We are beyond satisfied with this safari and the level of service we received — it exceeded all our expectations. We will absolutely come back again and will recommend this company to all of our friends without hesitation. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, delivered with exceptional professionalism and care 🔥

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