Awesome trekking to Mt. Kenya with Hyrax Safaris
Hyrax Safaris organized a trek on Mt. Kenya for us. From our very first inquiry, communication with Roselyn was incredibly fast and professional. We had no problems adjusting the itinerary to our needs.
We did a 4-day trek, starting at Sirimon Gate and finishing in Chogoria. Daniel was the leader of the support team — a very experienced guide who did an excellent job selecting the additional guides, chef, porters, and other members of the team.
Everything went perfectly during the trek as well. The food prepared by Patrick was delicious and varied, and the equipment provided (tents, sleeping bags, and mattresses) was of very good quality.
Thanks to such a great team, reaching an altitude of 3,985 meters above sea level was a real pleasure.
Thank you very much, and we highly recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya — not only for trekking, but also for safaris.

Smooth operation, very professional
Hyrax Safaris was able to accommodate for a short-term request for a 3-day (2 nights) safari trip from Nairobi to Maasai Mara (Fig Tree Camp). The pick-up was on time and smooth. The driver, Dan, went all out, to get us on time to the park even though there was blocked traffic on Mai Mahiu road.
Dan seems to have a sense for the big cats of the Mara and we had the pleasure to witness feasting lions, elegant cheetahs and a prowling leopard.

Local Kenyan Safari Company With A Personal Touch
Thanks to Hyrax Safaris we had an awesome safari for just the two of us, with a completely personalized itinerary. During the planning stage, Roselyne (who happens to be an owner) responded quickly to requests at all hours of the day & night, which was amazing, given we were 7 time zones away. She put together a 10-day itinerary for a private tour that included 6 days of safari in multiple parks, including airport transfers, transportation between parks, game drives, accommodation and meals, along with a few extra "must see" attractions. (And all for a comparably competitive price.) Roselyne even met us at our hotel to introduce us to our guide Ben, who as it turned out, was exceptional. His kind care, expertise & professionalism really made our trip. He knows the parks and the animals well, and he has a great rapport with the other guides, all of which meant we saw virtually the full range of animals over the course of our safari trip. We highly recommend Hyrax Safaris. It was an exceptional trip from pick-up at the airport to drop-off 10 days later.

A reliable partner that will exceed your expectations when visiting Kenya
We selected Hyrax for our trek to Mount Kenya. This was a good choice. Hyrax set up a great team that supported us all the way to the top. The people in the team were all very friendly and looked after us with excellent service. The conditions on the mountain can be challenging but the team was always one step ahead and made sure that everything went well.
After our successful summit Hyrax put together a great safari in the National Park.
We highly recommend Hyrax.

Very Nice Experience
We had a wonderful week-long safari with Hyrax Safaris, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, and the team was helpful and professional throughout.
Our guide, Kasaine, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly, and he made sure we had close but safe encounters with the animals. His passion for wildlife really made the experience special.
We saw so many incredible animals and created memories we will never forget. I would highly recommend Hyrax Safaris and Kasaine to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Very attentive, responsive, and always available whenever we needed her.
We had a wonderful trip combining Kenya and Zanzibar, with stops in Nairobi, Nakuru and Amboseli before ending our journey in Zanzibar. Everything was well organized, from the transfers and accommodation to the different activities along the way. Communication was smooth, and our agent was very attentive, responsive and always available whenever we needed her. The itinerary offered a great mix of city experiences, wildlife and relaxation, and we especially enjoyed the safari experience in Amboseli. Overall, a very enjoyable and well-organized trip with reliable service and good value for money.

Excellent Safari Experience from Start to Finish
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was excellent from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, communication was clear throughout, and they were always willing to accommodate our requests whenever possible. Irene, our main point of contact, was responsive, professional, and made the planning process effortless. Our guide, Tony, had exceptional tracking skills and consistently found wildlife that many others would have missed. We had a fantastic safari and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya.
Awesome five days
My friends and I had an amazing time hiking Mount Kenya with the Hyrax Safaris crew. All eight members of the team made the entire trip comfortable, enjoyable and truly memorable. The organisation was excellent, the food was great, and the value for money was very good.
Having already travelled around Kenya extensively, we were especially impressed by the crew. They were reliable, professional and genuinely friendly, and we really enjoyed exchanging cultural experiences and hearing about their lives and stories. The conversations around the campfire were some of the highlights of the trip. No one ever mentioned or expected a tip, which made us even happier to give one at the end. We would absolutely recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, reliable and genuinely enjoyable Mount Kenya experience.

Splendid organisation of the tour with a heartful team
The office is very responsive on WhatsApp and open to any questions about the tour. The drive to/from the hotel is very reliable and on point with good drivers. The team on the tour readily answer any questions regarding the tour/animals/scenery/food and are very hearty people and fun to spend a few days with. For the price you pay you get that and more than expected. Can only recommend! Thanks to the team of Daniel, Naftaly, Stephen, Simon, Stephen, Sammy, Mary and Stella for the wonderful experience!

Emmah Is professional. He knows what he Is doing. He has got sharp eyes, knowledge and patience.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service from Hyrax. We had a private safari, so the car was just for the two of us, and they accommodated us with the timing and arranged our transfer from the airport to our accommodation. In the end, there was no problem extending our safari by an extra day, along with a trip we came up with later. Our guide, Emmah, was a professional — always answered our follow-up questions and would, on their own initiative, point out what we were seeing, why we were seeing it, and how it fit into the safari. Overall, I'm very happy.
