I am very glad. I will repeat)))
We have finished our safari two days ago. Impressions are still fresh. We are delighted with the safari, you can write about it endlessly! But I want to write about the company itself. Our driver was very polite and friendly. It was fun and comfortable with him. He drove very fast and smart) We always had great places to take photos. In one day we saw 4 out of 5 big five! Thanks to our Ben on my camera SUCH pictures that I could not even dream of. Hirax Safari's service and assistance has been incredible for us! We are from Russia, so we have big problems with cards and cash dollars. Rosalina from Hirax Safari was EXTREMELY patient, she went above and beyond for us: patiently answered all my smart and stupid questions, always kept in touch, provided a good price tag for the safari, organized the safari, arranged and paid for visas, exchanged currency and also helped us get our money order to receive the necessary cash. Without her, our holiday would not have been possible. We will definitely go on safari again, it turned out to be the perfect drug. And we will definitely return to Hirax safari again, only there! Recommend 10 out of 10! Thanks!!!!
Roselyne was helpful with all the details we needed.
We did the 5 day trekking Chogoria up - Sirimon down, would recommend this route for more variety. Unless you are in great condition or/and have experience in high altitude trekking, I would recommend the 5 day trek to be able to enjoy it completely.
Our guide, Daniel was fantastic and the whole team was super, we had amazing food during the whole trek and everybody was very helpful, the team did a great job looking after us by all means.
The views and the landscape are truly amazing, it is definitely worth the trek (though be prepared for some altitude sickness).

Excellent
Great experience! It wasn't my first safari ever, but the first in Kenya.
I booked the 4 day tour to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and I had a great time. We managed to spot lots of animals and even an elusive leopard (despite being low season there are always great opportunities of spotting them all year round).
The guide, Joshua, was very knowledgeable, passionate and competent, ready to answer every question we'd throw at him and being a very competent driver.
I was also surprised by the lodgings, especially the Lenchada camp that, while basic, has everything we'd need for those couple of days and more;from my past experiences I didn't expect a few hours of electricity per day, cell reception, hot water in the shower and a private bathroom attached to the tent. Special mention to the food, which was delicious!
All in all, I'd redo it again, maybe during the great migration period.

Great 3 days safari tour to Masai Mara
I had a wonderful 3days safari tour with Hyrax Safaris to Masai Mara from Nairobi. competent, reliable, safe and offering a great service. Experienced driver and very good organization. They are flexible to the needs of the customers. We missed a leopard only for few seconds, otherwise we saw all the other big fives. Another jeep from the same tour operator could see also the leopard, wonderful videos of the other tourists. I would join another tour with them.

Great Safari
We've had a great safari with Hyrax. Roselyne was quick in here response and is trustworthy. Dan was our driver, we had lots of fun with him. We found him a very pleasant personality, always doing his best to make it the best day. The only problem we've faced was that Roselyne that the start date was misunderstood. The guide was in our hotel, two days early. This problem seemed solved professional. All hotels were rebooked, however the trainticket was not rebooked. That was a bit of a pity, since we lost a day due to this incident. I would recommend to request a solid personalized planning, with overview of dates, hotels. If this was organized by Hyrax, that could have prevented this mistake from happening. However the trip was great, so all 'problems' are relative!!

4 day luxury Safari
The Safari was exhilarating! Jeff from Hyrax was knowledgeable, trustworthy and a true professional in his craft. The entire team was nice and pleasant to work with through the entire process -from start to end. The rooms, food and the game camp was near in class. I tried I enjoy myself! I traveled as a sole female traveler from DC and I can not wait to return with my friends. I plan to use Hyrax again and share with others their pleasant and professional services.
Helpful to communicate logistics leading up to the trip and pulled off well.
Liked pre-trip communication and our driver and the whole experience.

A dream safari
My daughter and I have just returned from an amazing 12 day safari booked with Rose owner of Hyrax Safaris. Everything was so well organised and all the accommodation exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide Ben was very experienced, professional, a lovely person and made a big effort for us to see the best of the wildlife which we did. Hyrax is a professional, local company in Kenya which should be supported. We wish Rose and Ben every success. Ashley & Claudia

Awesome
We did a customised 4 days trip which was a honeymoon trip with my husband . Rosalinda, the manager, is a very responsible and reliable person and helped me a lot to plan the trip with quick and precise responses. The driver, Dan, was professional and joyful and thanks to him we could see great wild animals. I feel lucky to have booked with Hyraxsafari, and hope this comment help other people who are currently planning their best trip to Kenya:)
