Mt Kenya, Lenana Pt - well organized, great guide
Hyrax, my guide Daniel and his team picked me up from Nairobi airport at 6am and got me to the top of Lenana Pt on Mt Kenya at 6am exactly 48 hours later. Transport and transfers were well organised. Daniel was super helpful and his cook and porter were great. The Chogoria route is really beautiful, highly recommend. It is a challenging climb, don't underestimate altitude acclimatization,and consider a private transfer if you are not accustomed to shared public transport. Could not have done it without Daniel and team!!!

A safari company run by professional and highly efficient staff.
Thank you! We had an amazing time in Masai Mara. Communication was fast and accurate, and the guides were very professional, which made the experience even better. The stay at the accommodation will be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

Trustworthy and knowledgeable tour operator
We booked in a friends refference 5 night 6 days tour with hyrax . We were booking remotely , from other side of the world , unsure on what would be good, We did compared few other travel agency , but felt hyrax very responsive and reasonable. They were transparent and suggestive in planning the tour.
After the initial wire transfer , they were responsive in sending the hotel booking receipt and we're in constant communication through the trip .
In safari the most important part is the guide and out guide Ben was very nice . He is knowledge, respectful and most important, trustworthy in this unknown country . We highly recommend Ben and hyrax travel .
Experienced guides
First of all the job at the office was great, always answering all my questions and doubts, ready to fulfill my requests. Than the adventure begins and let me tell you, Daniel was our main guide and he was amazing, like all the troupe, second guide, porters and chef. There are no words to describe their love for the mountain, their knowledge of the filed and animals, their patience and support with us, always ready to help us in every way possible.. it’s not easy but they made easier for sure!

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience in Masai Mara. The organization was perfect with the help of Emmah and all the drivers. She chose the perfect hotel for us at a good price and helped us customize the whole experience. We saw plenty of different animals and the experience was entertaining during the whole time even for most of us as adults.

Amazing experience! Totally worth it!
We were a big group of 15 people of different ages and did a 4 day tour. Emmah from Hyrax organised everything perfectly, chose the perfect place for us to stay at a very good price. Our drivers were amazing(we had 3, mine was called Sami), told us interesting things about the animals and had incredible eyesight, which helped seeing a lot of animals. In the beginning we were afraid we might not be lucky enough to spot a lion (for I don't know what reason) but after 2 hours in the savannah we had already spotted plenty of them and by the third day we started even to get tired of seeing them :). The most amazing thing was seeing a leopard eating an antelope on top of a tree, we could hear its bones cracking... If you are wondering whether to choose Hyrax, definitely book straight ahead!

Relible operator with expirinced dreivers/gudies and greate guide Emmah
Safary proved to be a reliable operator with experienced and dedicated drivers and guides. The team was flexible and made sure we were able to see most of the animals we were hoping for, even adjusting plans according to the weather. Our guide, Emmah, was outstanding—open, communicative, friendly, very responsive, and speaking excellent English. The whole team remained calm and professional during unexpected vehicle issues, handling repairs efficiently and still managing to get us to the airport in time for our flights. Their commitment to customer care was evident throughout the trip. The only area for improvement would be to take a more proactive approach to vehicle maintenance to avoid such delays in the future.

Exceptional Organization and Seamless Experience with Hyrax Safaris
I would like to sincerely thank our tour agent, Emmah, for the excellent organization throughout the trip. Everything was arranged smoothly, professionally, and with great attention to detail. Special appreciation as well to the drivers, who were punctual, reliable, and ensured our comfort and safety at all times. A truly well-coordinated team effort.
