The most knowledgeable and accommodating tour group, who will give you a trip of a lifetime.
From the moment we decided we wanted to go on safari, my wife started looking she kept going back to African Hagyko and it was a fabulous choice. We started planning a year in advance Bernard answered every question very quickly. He helped with everything from booking our accommodation before the safari and planning our first day to introduce us to Kenyan before the safari began.
Our guide Harrison was very knowledgeable on everything from the animals to Kenyan culture, which I enjoyed immensely. With his many years of experience we were able to see the big five and so much more. I was especially thankful to Bernard and Harrison for taking complete care of us the entire time. They gave me a new nickname of Topi because I took lots of naps, we had so much fun can’t wait to do it again. Thank you for such an amazing experience

Number one tour company if I could score them higher I would. If you want the best look no further.
Our safari with African Hagyko was by far the best experience I have ever had with any tour company. I started planning over a year in advance. All my questions and concerns we answered extremely promptly by Bernard. He completely put me at ease, nothing was too much trouble he helped organize our two days before the safari started, sent lists of things to bring, kept me informed with everything I needed to know. Nothing is too much trouble for him.He gave me the time I needed to make my decision. He truly is a big asset to the company. Without his care and understanding I would not have booked but I didn’t need to worry. My faith in him was truly realized when we I met him at the airport with sign with our names on it. He greeted us with gifts and the warmest of welcome to Kenya.He is the most caring and polite human being and went out of his way to make sure our trip was the best possible experience. He surpassed all our expectations, I think of him now as family and will be booking with him in the future and advising anyone that wants to come on Safari book with Bernard you will not be disappointed.
When the Safari began our guide Harrison, who I requested after reading many other positive reviews, he did not disappoint either. From his ability to navigate Kenyan roads and knowing our safety was his number one concern to his extensive knowledge of animals and their behaviour, Kenyan culture and the environment was truly mind blowing. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want in my opinion the number one guide and the number one travel experience book with African Hagyko, Bernard and Harrison you will not be disappointed. We were able to see the big five and many more that we didn’t even know before this trip. My Knowledge has increased and I’m hoping to learn even more on my next visit.
When our flights were cancelled they both made sure we were taken care of, from the booking of the hotel to getting us to the airport. No other company that I have dealt with has gone to such lengths to ensure that our experience was the best it could be. I can’t wait to come back and bring my family and friends.

David is warm-hearted, enthusiastic, sociable, knowledgable, and above all, trustworthy and honest.
David is the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He is extremely knowledgable and will have a good answer for any question you ask. He has been a tour driver for 15+ years, so he can tell you history and details about the city that a less-experienced driver might not know about. For your safari at Nairobi National Park, he will do a great job at pointing out distant or hidden animals due to his familiarity with the animals’ living habits and his astute eye. David is friendly and amiable, and every interaction you have with him is sure to be pleasant. However, the best part about touring with David is how passionately he looks out for his clients. He will inform you of what prices are reasonable for shopping and services so you won’t be taken advantage of by vendors who grossly overcharge. David genuinely cares for his clients’ wellbeing, happiness, and safety, and he will take care of you like you are family. I am truly impressed with David as both a tour guide and a good, stand-up person. You will not regret booking with David.
What an amazing experience!!!
Wow what an experience! Everything ran very smoothly in terms of communication and pick-ups, and our tour operator Bernard was knowledgeable and good company. We were also so impressed by the quality of accommodations, they were so much more luxe than we were expecting! And great food!! Overall we were so happy with our choice of operator, and would re-book with them for sure if we were fortunate enough to come back.

Professional, experienced, and personal guide through Kenyan culture and wildlife.
James and Harrison were our drivers for our 10 day journey through the mountain dirt roads of Eburru, the busy and challenging highways across the Great Rift Valley, the city streets of Nairobi and the safari adventures in Nakuru. They were highly knowledgeable of every animal, every question about culture. They were able to answer clearly with an understandable accent, and good English. They had fun personalities and it was easy to talk to them about just about anything. They were always reliable and on time. When I was sick and needed medical attention they immediately went out of their way to get me to the right pharmacy. We will definitely use them again!
