Mr Famous is the best guide ever!
Mr. Maarufu is the best guide we could have hoped for—simply a great guy. He is funny, has a great sense of humor, and possesses immense knowledge. He led our tour fantastically and ensured the highest possible standard of service.
On the safari, we saw a multitude of animals: lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, elephants, and hippos.
In addition to the safari, Mr. Famous shared many interesting facts about Tanzania with us.
I am so glad we had a guide like him.

Dreaming safari
An unforgettable safari with Serengeti Smile! Everything was perfect from start to finish. A huge thank you to Piniel for the excellent organization before the trip. On the ground, we were lucky enough to see the complete Big Five thanks to the expert eyes and incredible knowledge of our guide, Nixon. Thank you also to our driver, Nicolas, for his very safe driving and perfect control on all tracks. This is an amazing team that we recommend 100%!

We saw all possible animals and had a lot of fun.
The trip was wonderful, every day new surprises, beautiful landscapes, and we got close enough to animals to be impressed by their beauty but not so close that we felt that we would disturb their peace. Our driver, Gaspar, was great; he went far and beyond to help me get on time to an important meeting and taught us many curious facts about nature.
The only two things that I would improve, for feedback: 1) There was some disorganization at the beginning; nobody was waiting for me at the airport nor messaged me saying that they would be late. 2) We would have liked to have a detailed plan on the activities every day, to know what to expect and better prepare.
But as I said, it was a wonderful experience and I really recommend it.

Maarufu is a great guide. He was very helpful and patient. Maarufu is also a wonderful person.
The trip was excellent. Visiting the Maasai village was an amazing experience. The safari was a great success, and we had the chance to see lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and buffaloes up close. The trek and the view of the waterfall were also beautiful.

Mr. Famous is the best tour guide you can ask for!!!
Words can’t express how amazing the trip with Mr. Famous (Maarufu) was! From the very second we started the trip, each person from our group of 8 felt welcomed, taken care of and in safe hands :) The experience was adjusted to the needs of the group, everything we planned was done successfully and there is literally nothing I would change so I am extremely grateful for all the work put into this

Local Kenyan Safari Company With A Personal Touch
Thanks to Hyrax Safaris we had an awesome safari for just the two of us, with a completely personalized itinerary. During the planning stage, Roselyne (who happens to be an owner) responded quickly to requests at all hours of the day & night, which was amazing, given we were 7 time zones away. She put together a 10-day itinerary for a private tour that included 6 days of safari in multiple parks, including airport transfers, transportation between parks, game drives, accommodation and meals, along with a few extra "must see" attractions. (And all for a comparably competitive price.) Roselyne even met us at our hotel to introduce us to our guide Ben, who as it turned out, was exceptional. His kind care, expertise & professionalism really made our trip. He knows the parks and the animals well, and he has a great rapport with the other guides, all of which meant we saw virtually the full range of animals over the course of our safari trip. We highly recommend Hyrax Safaris. It was an exceptional trip from pick-up at the airport to drop-off 10 days later.
