Great value and communication, personal approach
When I was looking for a safari operator in Kenya I contacted five or six ones and stopped on Hyrax. They seemed to have the optimal balance of costs and comfort. We were not looking for luxuries but clean and comfortable lodging was important. So what we got (Sopa Lodge) was above expectations.
Whats important, while communicating I felt the personal response. Irene was prompt and helpful in every issue I had and I wanna thank her for that.
We have booked the Amboseli safari and full day trip in Nairobi - both were organised in a great way. Guides/drivers did their best to show as much as possible and to keep it safe.
I definitely recommend Hyrax for:
1. Great value for the money balance
2. Fast respond, flexibility, meeting personal requests
3. Providing information and assistance in planning activities
4. Getting good lodge even at high season when it’s overbooked everywhere
5. Highly professional approach from the side of manager, drivers and guides.
PS Special thanks for the safari hats - what a nice memory!

Incredibile experience
We will never forget the trip that Daniel organized for us.
The guide’s experience and expertise made our safari intense and full of unforgettable emotions. We saw beautiful animals up close in their natural habitat, in a landscape that ranged from the arid savannah of the Serengeti to the lush greenery on the way to the Ngorongoro Crater.
The guide’s deep knowledge of the area undoubtedly allowed us to witness things that are far from guaranteed.
Often, we took less-traveled paths and found ourselves in front of breathtaking scenes… from groups of giraffes by the riverbank, to herds of elephants covering themselves in mud, to a family of cheetahs seeking shade beside our jeep, all the way to an unforgettable lunch just a few meters away from four lions.
On top of that, the company was always pleasant, friendly, never intrusive, and full of interesting insights about everything around us.
The organization was flawless in every respect.
Thank you, Daniel, and thank you, Felix, for the incredible experience you gave us!

Exceeded all expectations
I went on a 5 day gorilla safari as a solo female traveller. Prime Safaris was professional, friendly, and organized every step of the way. I have nothing but positive things to say about the guides, lodge, and day tours.

The wonders of Africa with 5 star service
MoAfrica delivered the most AMAZING 15 day holiday for us. The coordination and communication provided was first class, and made for a hassle free holiday - enabling us to focus on enjoying the wonderful sights and culture of Africa. Rishen’s advice, responsiveness and friendly approach made the planning easy, and the updates along the journey from other MoAfrica team members kept us fully informed of pickup times and next steps. I would highly recommend MoAfrica and will unquestionably be using them again myself.

Great Experience with amazing team
The safari was wonderful. Thanks to our guides Peter and Daniel, we were able to enjoy a great adventure through Kenya, full of magical moments, breathtaking landscapes, and memories that will stay with us forever. We managed to see all the animals, and Peter was very dedicated in making sure we got the best photos. Without a doubt, I would recommend doing the safari with them.

Completely fabulous from start to finish
I chose Indigo Safaris as I wanted to book with a local company who knew their stuff. Michele helped with the booking process and was very helpful, responding quickly to all my questions and quickly pinning down safari dates. The actual safari in Botswana was provided by Bush Ways, who were fantastic - the planning and execution of the camping and safaris was top rate and Evans and Kepapa were our exceptional guide and cook. The wildlife was unbelievable, far exceeding my expectations.
Spending our last night in the Pioneers Lodge, after 6 nights of wild camping among the lions, hippos and elephants, was the perfect finish to a very memorable trip.

Best Birding Safari company in Tanzania. Communicative, Honest, Safe and boy do they deliver Birds!
I had the pleasure of joining a birding safari organized by Charles Tours for ten days in August, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The itinerary included iconic locations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Arusha NP, and Tarangire. I was fortunate to see nearly all of the large mammals close up-missing only the elusive rhino but my trip was focused on Birds and boy did Amani and Abdul from Charles tours deliver.
The birding aspect of the trip exceeded all expectations. I recorded 400 bird species and managed to photograph over 300 of them, thanks to the incredible expertise of my bird guide, Abdul. His deep knowledge of bird habitats and bird calls made every outing productive. 400 species in 10 days outside of migration is an exceptional total.
Amani, who organized the trip, did a fantastic job with all the logistics. From accommodations and meals to park entries, everything was seamless, safe, and well thought out.
There are hundreds of tour operators to choose from and we encountered many of them lost in the Serengeti so choose wisely.
If you're a birder or nature enthusiast looking for a well-organized, rewarding safari experience in Tanzania, I highly recommend Charles Tours. Their team's professionalism, local expertise, and passion for wildlife made this trip one of the best I've ever taken.

Full of experience and knowledge. Reliable, responsible and trustworthy.
When comes to select an agency to fully execute our Safari plan. We value responsibility, knowledge and experience. From the first responder to our tour guide, and the agency owner, you will see and sense the above qualities delivering from each of their team member. No doubt, we had a great time in Tanzania, not only we saw all kinds of animals, also even had luck to see wildebeests’ crossing the Mara River. Our tour guide Big Alex, he is a live textbook and the big papa. He introduced much of animal’s behavior patterns, living habits that I kept recoding his words. Moreover, the level of security when you are with Alex, you know he can take care of anything, the superman power. It’s a fun and memorable trip, we closed our trip with having dinner under the moon and stars, drinking around the camp fire, bonding deeper with nature and each other. It will never be forgotten.

Local knowledgeable staff prepared to work with us on planning our journey from beginning to end
After contacting Off2Africa with regards to a segment of our proposed trip to Sth Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, Chloe supplied the information requested in a very timely manner. We then advised her of our larger plans and she offered to put an itinerary together on that basis. She was very punctual, had many ideas, was familiar with many areas and safaris. Importantly she worked with us to ensure the proposed trip was within our budget. It did not take long to finalise the itinerary that included almost everything on our wish list. All accommodation, safaris, boat trips, internal airfares and very importantly all the coordinated transport from arriving to departing Africa. She was also available (given she lives in the region) if we wanted to clarify anything. My wife and I (& other friends we were travelling with) could not believe how much we had enjoyed the trip and believe we got fantastic value and sightseeing for the time we allocated for our visit.
Visiting Africa could be fraught with issues and it is difficult (& timely) to do your own homework so we would strongly suggest you get some local knowledge and would highly recommend Chloe from Off2Africa.

Robert you are the best, professional ability to track and find animals, turning each game drive into a thrilling expedition. We saw everything we had hoped for and more, from a tower of giraffes to a pride of lions with playful cubs.[赞R][赞R][赞R][赞R][赞R]
