Professional guided tour
4/5

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!!

Hyrax did an excellent job of organizing a complicated safari.
5/5

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.

5 day safari
5/5

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!

Excellent
5/5

The husband and I did a 19 days tour/ safari of Kenya and Tanzania. Roselyne from Hyrax organised the tour. She planned an amazing trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed every day and having Ben as our driver and guide made it more exciting and entertaining. Ben was very knowledgeable and did his very best to show us everything that he could.
Roselyne was very approachable and we both worked very well together.
When I met Roselyne and her team to make the final payments in Nairobi for our trip, I was very impressed, they are an all girls team that are understanding and very passionate about what they do.
Thank you Roselyne, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip
Cheers
Kris

Easy to book and well organized
5/5

Great safari! Booking was easy and Hyrax clearly communicated what would happen. I was able to contact them through WhatsApp when I ran into a travel difficulty on the way to Kenya. My guide, Jeff, was amazing. He found animals other guides didn't and was really committed to our enjoyment of the experience. Great value for money. I highly recommend Hyrax and requesting a tour with Jeff, if possible.

Great support and quality staff.
5/5

Had an absolutely great time. Roselynn was great at helping plan the trip and was very quick and helpful with her responses. I felt like she could always be reached and provide the information that we were looking for. Our guide, Kaisine, served us very well. If we are to do a Safari again, we would want him to be our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and the animals providing lots of insight. He went out of his way to adapt the trip and tailor it to our wants. He had a great sense of humor and we enjoyed being in the car with him for many hours each day.

An Extraordinary Safari Adventure: Nature's Masterpiece Unveiled
5/5

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari trip that I can only describe as a true masterpiece of nature. From the moment I set foot in the African wilderness to the final awe-inspiring moments, every aspect of the journey exceeded my expectations, leaving an indelible mark on my soul. The experience was nothing short of excellent, and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone seeking a profound connection with nature.

The trip began with a warm welcome from the knowledgeable and friendly guides who shared their deep passion and expertise for the wildlife and environment. Their dedication to preserving and conserving this majestic land was evident in their every word and action, making the entire expedition feel not just like a vacation but a meaningful and impactful adventure.

As we ventured into the heart of the wild, it felt as though we had entered a realm untouched by time. The sheer diversity of flora and fauna was staggering, with each turn revealing a new species or breathtaking landscape. From the majestic herds of elephants roaming freely to the graceful movements of lions in their natural habitat, I was privileged to witness some of the world's most iconic wildlife in their true element.

The safari game drives were expertly organized, striking a perfect balance between exploration and relaxation. The knowledgeable guides effortlessly navigated the vast terrain, unveiling hidden gems and ensuring that no detail went unnoticed. Their deep understanding of animal behavior and local ecosystems made every encounter rich with knowledge, transforming the experience into an immersive and educational journey.

The accommodation provided during the safari was exceptional, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Each lodge and camp was carefully designed to offer comfort without compromising the authentic bush experience. Falling asleep to the distant sounds of wildlife and waking up to breathtaking sunrises painted a picture of tranquility that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Mealtimes were a delightful affair, showcasing the flavors of the region while providing a chance to reflect on the day's adventures. The expertly prepared meals, often accompanied by stories from the guides, created an intimate and convivial atmosphere, fostering connections with fellow travelers from around the world.

What truly made this safari trip extraordinary was the profound sense of connection and appreciation it instilled within me. Witnessing the raw beauty of nature in its unfiltered state reminded me of our responsibility as stewards of the Earth. The safari experience left an indelible impression, igniting a passion for conservation and a renewed commitment to preserving these awe-inspiring landscapes for future generations.

In conclusion, my safari adventure was nothing short of exceptional. From the knowledgeable guides to the breathtaking wildlife encounters, every aspect was thoughtfully curated to provide an unforgettable journey through nature's masterpiece. If you yearn for an immersive experience that combines adventure, education, and a deep connection with the natural world, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on a safari trip. It is an experience that will leave you forever changed, with memories that will last a lifetime.

5/5

Hyrax Safaris made it so simple from planning,organising and communication.I was dealing with Emma she was so wonderful all throughout from the planning giving me all the possible options from mid range to high.... explaining every single detail
we communicated through email.I don't know how she does it...I will get a reply back in a matter of seconds no matter what time of the day.Emma was un point.I didn't even hesitate to give her a down-payment for the Safari tour when she sent me a link.I know and I have a strong feeling that I could trust her.Emma was constantly reminding us regarding our e-visa and Vaccination status especially for the yellow fever. On the first day of the Safari tour everything what we agreed 4x4, gorgeous accommodation and the best game drive Driver Sammy he was so excellent of what he does.We feel so safe during the 3 days game drive @ Masai Mara National Resevve and very knowledgeable when it comes to animals in Masai Mara especially the big 5....I almost forgot Emma she was the one who organised our hot air balloon as well plus our local flights Mombasa,Malinndi, Lamu and back to Nairobi.I would highly recommend Hyrax Safaris and Emma to organised your dream Safari tour
