5 day safari
I booked a 5 day safari with Hyrax for myself, my husband, our 3 children, and my mother in law. Our safari included Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha/Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. I was contacted by Emmah and she truly is a great help! I had so many questions, I changed our itinerary and every time she was quick to respond and offer guidance. I can’t say enough good things about Emmah and I really appreciate her help with our trip. Not only did she provide a private tour for us, she also arranged our lunch at The Carnivore restaurant. Our safari guide was Lenny and I would say he did a great job overall. We saw the big 5 and he pointed our things along the way. I mostly appreciated that he pulled over on side of the road to take our photo in front of Mt. Kilimanjaro!! Mt.Kilimanjaro was my main reason of going to Amboseli and if he hadn’t done that we would have no photos because the mountain was hidden the next day by clouds. I would recommend booking with Hyrax and I would definitely use them again. I would like to ease anyone’s mind on a few things I wasn’t sure about as a first timer. They will contact you on WhatsApp, don’t be alarmed that’s how we communicated the entire time, also don’t be alarmed that you will pay a deposit but the remainder of your balance will be in cash the day of your trip! Book with them, you won’t regret it!

Hyrax did an excellent job of organizing a complicated safari.
Our guides were excellent, both Dan and Dennis. Accommodations at Samburu National Park and Ol Pojeta were great including the food. Email communication was always prompt. Vehicles were reliable and both guides were excellent drivers and extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

The best experience while in Kenya!
The 3-day safari was AWESOME!! It’s the right time for Masai Mara. We loved everything about it, trip there was fun our driver Mozes was AMAZING. He was such a good driver, guide, he told us everything avout the road to Mara and animals. So it was really nice. We stayed at the camp which was nice and food also good. I would recommend 100%!! Price performance 10/10 ❤️

Professional guided tour
Very professional local Guide
Good value for money.
Very simple accomodation without comfort, at Amboseli no warm water
Breakfast and meals enough, always the same.
At this very cheap tour, you must not awail comfort and good meals, but you go for the trip to see all African animals and so it was. We've seen more than 50 different animals within 26 sorts birds.
Therefore the tour was marvelous!!

Great day in Masai Mara
I had a very ambitious plan - to spend 24h in Masai Mara uppon arrival at the Nairobi airport. I have sent a bunch of emails to different companies and was given either hilarious price, or other ofers (Amboseli, NNakuru lake, Nairobi national park etc) or was told it was not possible to do it in a 24h. In fact, Hyrax (Rosalyne) also said it can not be done. But after we said we are in Kenya for work and we only have these 24h and we want to go to Masai Mara and not else - we created a custom package. And we had a GREAT service. Dan, the driver and our guide has a great knowledge on Masai Mara is very patient and has a great sense of humor. We loved the package they created for us, it included Masai village, game drive in a 4wheel jeep in Masai Mara national park, night over at a very nice camp and all the meals. We explored the park untill sunset , had a great evening at the camp and got up at dawn and continued our game drive. We drove all the way to Masai Triangle. And if I would go there again - I would do it again. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy to do it in just 24h when only to drive to there takes 5-6 hours, but we could not afford more (time and moneywise).
Do not overthink booking with them, just do it. And ask for Dan, he knows Masai Mara by heart. And he is very keen on showing you the highlights of safari.
Guides have radio connections and they share info among them on interesting things - like the lepard resting on the tree after eating antilope.
Book and enjoy!
