Good itinerary with competitive price and awesome guide. Terrible vehicle
Fredy was very helpful in putting together a good itinerary with requested hotels . Price was competitive and cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars . We stayed at the Elewana in Serengeti , Niyakani migration camp Ndutu and Melia in Ngorongo. Fredy however left and our trip was assigned to someone else who was not as responsive . Did not send flight tickets until requested on morning of transfer. Did not know that return transfer to airport was included until I sent a screen shot of the itinerary . Did honor it though
We had an amazing guide Festo who knew his way around the Serengeti and was great at spotting animals. 5 stars for a great guide
However vehicle was terrible. WiFi did not work. AC did not work which made for a terrible 2 days in the Ngorongo conservation area. Seats were shabby and the ride was uncomfortable. I discussed with other travelers in the lodges and looked at other companies vehicles which were in much better shape. In retrospect would have paid more for a comfortable ride . 2 out of 4 binoculars did not work and had broken lenses and the binoculars were dirty
Would recommend booking with them if they can promise a better vehicle. I am glad we did a fly in and drive back safari otherwise would have been terrible or maybe if we had started in this vehicle in Arusha we would have insisted on a change. We landed on Seronera and discovered this vehicle

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!

An incredibly skilled driver. With over 20 years of experience, his driving and guide is excellent.
My guide Robby is an incredibly skilled driver. The second he hears something interesting over the radio, he’s there right away. He’s a perfectionist—he wanted to make sure you don’t miss anything.
With over 20 years of experience, his driving is so good he can get the vehicle right up close to the animals for photos, and he’ll find several angles to take pictures for you. Along the way, he introduced a lot in detail, such as
Maasai people and animals live in the conservations, but the national parks are completely uninhabited; the differences between cheetahs and leopards—their patterns, weight, behavior and so on. And he checked the vehicle condition constantly and assisted other drivers in our way.
Overall, he is excellent.

Amazing service & Amazing Ken!!!
We have just returned from the most incredible safari experience in Kenya, and I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.
From the very beginning, the communication and booking process with Axis was seamless and stress-free. Philip was absolutely brilliant, he answered every single question quickly and thoroughly, making us feel completely confident and excited about our trip. Cynthia and Lennox were also fantastic and equally helpful. The whole team made the planning process so simple and smooth.
The tour itself was outstanding value for money. We chose to do a private safari, and I would highly recommend this to anyone considering it. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, yet it didn’t cost a fortune. Having that personal experience made everything feel special and tailored just for us.
Our guide, Ken, was simply amazing. He completely made the trip what it was. From the moment we met him, we felt in safe and capable hands. He drove safely at all times, was incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable for me and my mum. His knowledge of Kenya’s history, the different tribes, the landscapes, and of course the wildlife was exceptional. No question was too much for him. He explained everything with such passion and enthusiasm.
What really stood out was how determined he was to make sure we saw everything we hoped for. After spotting all of the Big 9 and so many other incredible animals, we really wanted to see a leopard. Ken went completely out of his way in both the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru to help us find one and thanks to him, we did! It was such an exciting and special moment that we will never forget. His dedication, persistence, and genuine desire for us to have the best possible experience was truly remarkable.
Ken wasn’t just a guide - he was kind, professional, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He made the entire safari extraordinary.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, book it and if you can, ask for Ken. You won’t regret it. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

An amazing experience - Olengugih Safari Tour, Nairobi, Kenya
On Saturday, February 7th, I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a four-hour safari tour with Olengugih Safari in Nairobi, Kenya. I cannot express strongly enough how completely satisfied and impressed I was with every aspect of this experience.
From the very beginning, the tour operations were professional, organized, and exactly as described — the entire experience unfolded precisely in line with the agenda and expectations that were provided to me. I was picked up promptly at the scheduled time and returned exactly as planned, which immediately set the tone for a well-managed and reliable operation.
My tour guide, Mr. Johnson, was simply outstanding. His knowledge of the Kenya Safari Park — spanning over 100 square acres of protected land — and the animals that call it home was truly impressive. He shared detailed insights about the wildlife, the ecosystem, and the behaviors of the animals in a way that made the experience educational, engaging, and unforgettable. His interaction with me was warm, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic. It was clear that he takes pride in what he does.
The large, heavy-duty four-wheel-drive Jeep was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and safe. The raised roof feature allowed me to stand and enjoy panoramic views of the safari landscape, giving me a remarkable vantage point to observe the animals in their natural habitat. Every turn of the road revealed something incredible — lions, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, ostriches, and a wide variety of beautiful birds. Seeing these magnificent animals up close was breathtaking.
At no time during the tour did I feel unsafe. Mr. Johnson’s driving was courteous and steady, and I felt completely secure under his guidance throughout the safari. His professionalism and attention to safety added greatly to my overall comfort and enjoyment.
I was extremely impressed with the entire service provided by Olengugih Safari Tour Company in Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. The description of the tour was fully consistent with the experience I received — and in many ways, it exceeded my expectations. The company operates with integrity, reliability, and excellence.
I cannot hesitate to recommend Olengugih Safari and Mr. Johnson to anyone interested in touring Kenya Safari Park. This was an extraordinary experience that I will never forget. I very much enjoyed every moment and cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism, knowledge, and outstanding service that Mr. Johnson provided.
Thank you for an unforgettable safari adventure.

Incredible experience
We traveled as a family and did the 4-day safari, and the experience was truly incredible. Everyone was kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming throughout the entire trip. The days were perfectly organized, and everything ran smoothly. The Serengeti was definitely the highlight — simply breathtaking.
A special mention goes to our driver and our Spanish-speaking guide, Jeremaiah and Charles. Jeremaiah knew exactly where to go to spot the animals and always positioned us in the best possible places for viewing. Charles explained everything in our native language, which made a huge difference for us. My mom doesn’t speak English, so we specifically booked the tour with a Spanish-speaking guide, and it was absolutely worth it. They are both passionate about what they do, and that passion made our experience unique and unforgettable.
The hotels were very good, and once again, the staff everywhere was extremely kind. Staying inside the national parks was definitely a highlight — going to sleep while hearing the animals around you is something truly special. Our favorite was Safari Heaven Migration.
The lunches exceeded our expectations. Every day we had freshly cooked homemade meals, while we saw other tours handing out simple sandwiches. We even had tablecloths and everything set up for a proper, complete lunch experience.
We will definitely come back when we can, and without a doubt, we will choose See Endless Adventures again. Highly recommended.

Very flexible and will tailor beautiful and memorable itinerary to your needs
Me and my mum had a lovely time in Amboseli and Masai Mara national reserve for 3 nights 4 days, all thanks to our lovely driver/ guide James. James was always on time and put A plus effort in giving the best angles for me to capture best pictures of the animals! and the park staffs too, they went above and beyond. I am well travelled but I had never known this kind of hospitality, it was my first time in Kenya and it’s top tier! Risper was very attentive and flexible in tailoring my itinerary, she chose excellent luxury stays for us in Oltukai lodge and Entim Private camp. Tekko tours made this safari trip so memorable for me and my mum, forever thankful!
