Super organization
Thank you Murray for the great organization. We chose Serengeti Park, with one night in the national park. We took off from Zanzibar, the transfer is included. Lunch, dinner and breakfast are included. Of the big five in Africa, only the rhinoceros was not seen, apparently next time :-)

Decent and affordable.
I booked the tour 2 days before it started. This was the best offer for the price. At my request, a transfer was provided. Everything was worthy. Despite the rainy weather, we visited all the stated locations. The staff and drivers are friendly. If you are offered additional services, simply refuse if you are not willing to pay extra. I recommend.

It was hard to communicate with them until we found the WhatsApp number then it was good
Seemed a bit rushed, but covered a lot of ground in 7 days.

EXCELLENT TEAM TO ASSOCIATE WITH
Being a Travel company in UAE, I had concerns over Hyrax Safaris as it was the first time I was dealing with them. But they have exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Keep rocking guys.

Very reliable, great experience and helpful with my questions
The booking was very good, very helpful in the process and all questions asked. The guide Moses was amazing! He's an excellent driver, who took us to the best spots even through mud and rain to get the best pictures, he knows a lot and gave us good information. He was also reliable, flexible with everyone's schedule but knowing the main timing needs, helped with everything needed, took us to local places and he's known and respected by local communities so this is always a green flag for me. He managed the weather amazingly well in rainy season and my experience was amazing thanks to him and John. Super nice people, friendly and professional.
The price was higher than with other agencies for the exact same package so I found that a bit discouraging when I found out but other than that every service was very good quality and no suprises: everything that was not included was clear since the start. Accommodation was great, food was good and overall I'm 100% satisfied and happy to have done it.

Awesome safari and very good communication!
Lizzy at Leobeast is a charm, I would recommend anyone to book with her 👍 She communicated clearly and respectfully, gave me all the information I needed and also plenty of time to make my decision. On top of this, Leobeast offered very good value for money.
I enjoyed a 5-day budget safari (Maasai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha) as a solo traveller in a group joining setting. We were with 6 tourists in the Land Cruiser, combined via different tour agencies. This worked very well.
The driver, Moses, was very skilled and knowledgeable. We felt perfectly safe with him behind the wheel and he was always kind and patient with us when we had questions or needed some explanation about the schedule for the next days.
The accomodation in the budget tour exceeded my expectations. The Lenchada Camp at Maasai Mara was very nice, with tents covered by a proper roof and equipped with private shower and toilet. The hotels in Nakuru and Naivasha were excellent. I would only recommend a medium-level tour over budget if you really want to have the lodge experience every night. But even then you need to be aware that you're spending very little time there as you're mostly up and about between 6 and 7 in the morning anyway.

Exceptional Safari Experience With Outstanding Service !
Our experience with our tour operator mister John Mussa Munhambo was nothing short of amazing! As two women traveling alone, safety and comfort are top priorities, and this company and Mr John really went above and beyond to help us and ensure both. After a less happy experience in the beginning of our trip with another company, Mr John stepped in and came to our rescue and saved our trip by traveling all the way to the Serengeti and back to Arusha. From the moment we booked with Green Planet Safari, everything was managed and clear, providing us with detailed information and guidance.
During our safari game drive in the Ngorongoro crater, Mr John was next to being knowledgeable about the wildlife, also attentive to our needs. He provided great insights into the sighting, enhancing our experience and due to his quick thinking we were even able to see a fresh hunt from the lion, watching the cubs eat!! A once in a lifetime opportunity. On top of that, Mr John was able to tick off some of our wishlist sightings as well, taking us to Olduvai Goge and a Masaai Boma. This personal touch and attention to our wishes really set this tour apart for us.
John took the effort to keep in touch with the hosts at our locations and also ensured we arrived save at our next flight to Zanzibar. He also made sure I got back a sweater I forgot in the jeep by accident. These type of thoughtful actions made this trip all the way better, especially after our previous experience which left us a bit doubtful.
The jeep was secure, clean, comfortable and there was plenty of water. Overall John and Green Planet Safari provided us with an unforgettable, worry-free, adventurous safari trip and I would recommend to anyone looking for the same. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable !

Wonderful experience
Everything went exactly as planned. We had a great safari with our guide Steve, who knew how to find all the animals and see them up close. The SOPA lodge is really perfect.
Lovely chap, excellent shoes
Super easy pick up at the airport, dropped off in the right place and on time. Good communication, couple of nice breaks on the way.
