Amazing tour guide made our trip unforgettable for all the right reasons
5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha Private Safari. We had an absolutely amazing 5 day safari tailored specifically to our needs. Since we travelled with our rather young children (6 and 9 yo) we preferred having our private trip set up by Roselyne, and this was done very well, including making sure the safari vehicle had the right kind of seatbelts for our carseats. Our driver, Laurence, was fantastic; attentive, helpful, punctual, a great driver, incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, and not least he must have more than perfect eyesight since he could spot lions we could barely see with binoculars! Laurence really went above and beyond to make our trip memorable; for example, when we were heading home from Masai Mara after a long, already fabulous day, he didn't hesitate to head back into the park because he heard on the radio that some lionesses were chasing a warthog, so we got to see the chase and subsequent squabble over the meal. All in all, this trip rates among my most unforgettable experiences ever, and the next time we come (yes we want to come back as soon as we can!) we will definitely book our safari with Hyrax again.

Well organized tour with an amazing guide
We booked a 5 days 4 nights tour to Kenya with Hyrax through safari bookings. It was a very well organized tour across Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Since this was our first African Safari we did not book the tent experience inside the Mara reserve, which in hindsight we feel we should have done. That is the only crib I have with the tour. We were able to cover the big five within 2 hours of the game drive in Mara. Mara is a must in a lifetime experience for all and it is the closest that one can get to nature.
A big shout out to our tour guide Ben was very friendly, knowledgeable and was very accomodating with requests from our side. Roselyne who was managing our bookings was extremely supportive.
Highly recommend Hyrax for safaris in Kenya.

Incredible experience with an amazing tour guide!
After a lot of research to find a Tour Guide for Masai Mara, I chose Hydrax Safari. Roselyne was incredibly responsive, offered us great value for money, and was very efficient with respect to getting our itinerary finalised. I could not be more happy with our choice. We opted for luxury accommodation, and decided to stay at Kichwa Tembo Luxury Camps, which was definitely one of our highlights. The staff at Kichwa Tembo were attentive to our needs, the views from the camp were breath-taking, and all the food and drinks were inclusive. Edward was our amazing tour guide, who made us feel very comfortable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals we saw during our safari, which led to us seeing the Big 5, including lions, cheetahs and leopards. Edward was very entertaining throughout the safari, and definitely helped make this a once in a lifetime experience. I have no reservations about recommending Hydrax Safari for your next safari.

Nice tour with easy communication
The communication with Hyrax Safaris over WhatsApp was very fast. They where flexible and very customer-orientated.
We were hiking Mt Kenia for 4 days. For two people we had a good, a cook and two porters. We were surprised, how luxurious the food on the tour was.
Although the weather was not on our side, the guide had good alternatives.
The price was very good and negotiable, although you have to know that the guides and porters are dependent on generous tips.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Unique and Accommodating
This was an incredible safari! First and foremost, Hyrax Safaris leading up to our game drives, was highly professional, responsive, and flexible based on our unique requests. They were highly accommodating, making our experience that much more memorable.
Secondly, Ben, our safari tour guide, was exceptional during our game drives by providing informative facts about animal behaviors, spotting unique animals, and putting us in a position to get the best angle of the animals. Additionally, Ben was knowledgeable regarding all the routes and roads in the mara triangle and the mara river conversancy. It helps to know you have an expert tour guide who knows the roads, as you can go days without finding the animals you want to see during the game drives (I.e., Cheetahs, Leopards).
Overall, this was a great experience, and we highly recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a unique experience with never forgetting moments you can take home with you.
Thank you for the lifetime of memories, Hyrax Safaris!

Well organised and memorable short tour
Chose a short 2 day trip with Hyrax during our brief stay. It was a very enjoyable experience and the team worked well to schedule pick ups and transfers and handle our accommodation booking. Fantastic coordination from Roselyne and co. Would definitely recommend.
