An unforgettable experience
We went for a three day tour: Nairobi-Amboseli-Tsavo West, and Dropoff in Diani Beach. The accommodations were luxurious, very friendly personnel and amazing food. Special compliments to our guide Kasaine Senei. He made sure we`d manage to see all the animals on our list, and knew everything about the parks and its animals. Would recommend to everyone!

Incredible visit to Masai Mara organized by Hyrax Safari
Hyrax arranged a personalized itinerary for me and my wife. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi and brought to Wilson Airport for a short 50 minute flight to Masai Mara. At the airstrip in Masai Mara, we were met by Benson!
Benson was an absolutely amazing host. He is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, knows his way around, is deeply connected to a network of guides who share location information about sitings, and is able to spot animals far away and guide us to them. Benson is also a lovely person, and it was easy to spend 6 hours a day riding around the reserve with him.
Hyrax gave us choices of lodging options within our budget. We selected Ashnil Mara, whose location on the river was a treat. From our table in the dining room, we could see and hear Hippos and Crocodiles at every meal. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and the food buffet was plentiful and varied.
I highly recommend a visit to Masai Mara where you are sure to see the Big 5. Hyrax delivered everything they promised and made things simple.

Swift communication and friendly staff.
We had a great experience with Hyrax Safaris. Irene was our coordinator and she did a great job in communicating swiftly and efficiently.
Our guide was Antony - he was punctual, kind and patient. He did a good job with the game drives. We stayed at the Ashnil Camp. The camp was very impressive with well equipped and comfortable tents, amazing food (including Indian options) and extremely friendly and kind staff. Thank you Irene and Antony - our overall experience at Maasai Mara was very memorable. I would definitely recommend going with Hyrax Safaris.

Amazing Experience
Having looked through so many different safari companies I am so happy we chose Hyrax for our 5 day honeymoon safari.
Rose could not be more helpful with our requests. Price was very reasonable and great value for money. Ben our guide for the duration was amazing from the moment he collected us from the airport. He has extensive knowledge of the animals and the area and would always do everything to get the best views.
I highly recommend Hyrax Safaris, if you are looking at this company as an option then just book, you won’t be disappointed.

A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Hyrax Safaris
My wife and I went on a private 5-day safari in Kenya with Hyrax Safaris in June 2025, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
From the outset, communication with Rose was seamless and prompt. Her professionalism and the competitive pricing were key reasons I chose Hyrax over the hundreds of other companies out there — and I'm so glad I did.
Our guide and driver, Ben, was simply outstanding. His tracking skills were top-notch — on several occasions, we were the only vehicle at sightings of elephants, cheetahs, and lions. We were often just a few feet away from these majestic animals — I’ll be sharing photos to show just how close we got. Thanks to Ben, we saw the Big Five and countless other species. It was a wildlife experience beyond anything we imagined.
The accommodations were excellent, with a special mention for Nakuru Sopa Lodge — and Lake Nakuru itself was a hidden gem. We honestly wished we had more time there. Our time in the Masai Mara was unforgettable, especially the hot air balloon ride — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Although our time in Amboseli was short, it was still incredibly rewarding with numerous elephant sightings and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
I wholeheartedly recommend Hyrax Safaris — their service quality, well-curated hotel selections (even the mid-range options were fantastic), and of course, our phenomenal guide Ben.
Having traveled to over 35 countries, I can confidently say this trip ranks among the very best. It will remain etched in our memories forever.

Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Hyrax Safari's - Truly a Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned from a 4-day safari with Hyrax Safaris to Samburu and Ol Pejeta, and it was nothing short of incredible.
From the moment we started planning, communication with Irene was smooth and efficient. She was always available, professional, and went above and beyond—especially when our flights were delayed. She handled changes and special requests at short notice with ease and understanding.
Our guide, George, was fantastic. Friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, he exceeded our expectations. His sharp eye for wildlife led to multiple unforgettable sightings of leopards and cheetahs. He also introduced us to unique experiences we hadn’t planned for, like visiting the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Animal Orphanage—an unexpected highlight with amazing close-up animal encounters.
The accommodations were excellent, especially Elephant Bedroom Camp. The setting was magical—imagine checking into your tent with an elephant waiting outside! We had several elephant visits during our stay, making the experience even more special.
Having traveled to Kenya multiple times, I can confidently say this was our best trip yet. The combination of service quality, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and our incredible guide George made it truly exceptional.
Highly recommend Hyrax Safaris—they made this trip one we will never forget
Maasai Mara 4 day tour
We did a 4 day Maasai Mara tour booked through Hyrax. Our guide for the tour, Kasaine, was great - he knew the park well and had extensive knowledge of the animals. Our accommodation, Enkorok Safari Camp (not Enkorok Mara Camp which is adjacent), was everything we could ask for - close proximity to the park entrance, nice lodgings, friendly staff and the food was good including vegetarian options. Communications with Hyrax before our tour was easy with a quick response time to our queries.
Would recommend all of the above for a safari trip to the Maasai Mara.
