Our Kenyan safari was absolutely amazing thanks to Hyrax Safaris!
My husband and I enjoyed our first-ever African safari recently and had an incredible time. Hyrax Safaris planned such a perfect itinerary and we were able to see a variety of interesting places throughout Kenya. Our tour guide Sammy was fantastic, and on the game drives he expertly explained a lot about the various animals we were seeing. We loved seeing elephants crossing a river, a pride of lions resting in the shade, very rare white and black rhinos walking across a field, hippos floating in a river, giraffes grazing in tall trees, zebras crossing our path and much, much more! We not only saw animals from the safari vehicle, we also took a boat ride, biked and hiked at Hell’s Gate national park and saw where both “Out of Africa” and parts of the “Lion King” were filmed. The tour included opportunities for shopping from local craftspeople and we really enjoyed getting unique souvenirs to take home. Since the items do not have prices, we learned that the locals expected us to negotiate which was difficult at first because we were not used to shopping this way in the US. However, by the end of our stay we were more comfortable with the process.
The amount of things we saw and did was just incredible and we were so impressed with both our guide Sammy and Hyrax Safaris for planning such an enriching tour. We hope to return someday and if we do, we will definitely call Hyrax Safaris to plan our next adventure!

Amazing trip!
Perfect safari tour in Masai Mara. Stay was at Sarova Camp which was the perfect resting location in between game drives. Our driver Ben was a fantastic guide - he was incredibly knowledgeable about both animals and the local fauna. We spotted the Big 5 over 2 days, plus a few extras including cheetahs, birds, and many types of antelope. Booking with Hyrax was convenient, efficient, and easy. Irene from their team was incredibly communicative. Would not hesitate to recommend Hyrax for a future safari traveler.

Professional and Reliable
The safari was amazing! Kasaine, our guide, was very kind and professional, he put all his effort during the trip to spot as many animals as possible and did a great job.
Hyrax safari was very responsive
I did 4 day mount Kenya Sirmon-Chogoria route with Hyrax safari. The guide and rest of the team were amazing. The first day is a quick 2 hour hike, the second day we walked for around 6 hours and the camp there was beautiful. The third day was hard as we walked for over 10 hours and honestly at a very high speed. The last day was 1 hour hike. Mount Kenya is amazing, the landscape unique. Everything went well but i would say that i would have preferred the third day to be split in two and have more rest to enjoy the views. All in all was a great experience and the team were very nice.

Trip of a lifetime!
This honestly was the trip of a lifetime.
We booked for a private 5 day safari in Navaisha, Nakuru and Masai Mara with only around a months notice. Contact with Irene was always polite and comprehensive and she was quick to answer and resolve any queries we had. Price was very fair for the tour.
On arrival Land Cruiser was spotless, guide was polite and friendly. Once on safari, we realised our guide Tony was the true hero here. He took us from sighting to sighting tirelessly, often getting us to significant sightings before anyone else.
Notable experiences were, seeing a pack of lions defend their buffalo kill against 2 large crocodiles. Also seeing a large male tranquillised by a vet in order to be treated for a leg injury.
The whole experience was amazing top to bottom and we will certainly be back and recommend Hyrax to all our friends and family.
Thanks again for the incredible time!

We went on a 7-day trip with Hirax Safari, starting with a trekking adventure on Mt. Kenya followed by visits to three amazing safari parks. Everything was absolutely fantastic – very well organized, professional, and with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend Hirax Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Africa!

Reliable, attentive, available. We were very happy with them!!!
We had a great 6-days safari in Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli.
The tour was very well planned. We didn't have to wait for extra time anywhere, and our guide, Tony, was attentive and responsive to our needs. The hotels were luxurious, and we could enjoy the beauty and amenities after our long safaris. We would like to express our gratitude to Roseline for organizing the tour. We were met at the airport, and from then on, we didn't have to worry about anything else. We just focused on enjoying the nature and the animals. We were able to see the Big Five and many other animals.

Unforgettable Days in the Heart of Kenya
Our safari experience in Kenya was absolutely perfect! Everything was so well organized — from the transfers and accommodations to the game drives and activities. The team was professional, friendly, and always attentive to every detail. We truly felt cared for every step of the way.
All of us came back incredibly happy and full of unforgettable memories. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, which made every moment in the wild even more special. We saw the Big Five, enjoyed breathtaking sunsets, and learned so much about Kenya’s wildlife and culture.
Thank you for making this journey flawless and memorable it truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and well-planned safari experience!

Ask for Kasaine tour guide!
We booked with a local company called Hyrax and had a great experience . Our guide Kasaine was a Maasai and he knew all the parks inside out . He was very attentive and made sure every thing was perfect at all times. His time mgmt was excellent and bathroom breaks and knowing where to go to see what animal. He was friends with everyone and everyone knew him. We did a 9
Day safari (private) and went to a number of
Parks(5) but Maara
Was the best . We stayed in great lodges all booked by the company. We had no idea what to expect and we loved it all. Kenya safaris are amazing and we will
Be back! We saw everything we came to see and so much more!!!!
