5 days Mt Kenya
We chose Hyrax for our 5 day climb of Mt Kenya. We had a wonderful time on the mountain. It was hard work but the delightful team made it much easier.
Special thanks to Daniel our guide for all your support on summit night and for managing your climbing crew so well. Service was impeccable and always served with a lovely smile. We enjoyed playing Uno with the team and learning more about their beautiful Kenya from their perspective.
Thank you Samuel for the most delicious food. That chicken and guacamole was perhaps the best meal we had on our 2 week stay in Kenya. Simon, our waiter was charming - always helping us with hand washing and tea pouring with a smile. Desmond and Leon were fabulous walking buddies and looked after our things very well.
In all - if you're planning a climb of Mt Kenya (or a safari) - call Hyrax and ask for Daniel and his team. You shan't be disappointed. We miss Kenya but miss the individuals we met along the way even more!
Asante Sana !

Trip of a Lifetime!
Hyrax Safari's goes above and beyond! From pick-up at our hotel to helping us organize and pay for train tickets Rose is a full-service business owner! She helped us with so many aspects of our trip, some that extended beyond our time on safari. I can't recommend her highly enough. Ben was our guys and he was awesome, very friendly and helpful and we saw so many animals (The big 5 and then some!) and had such an amazing time I want to do it all over again! I recommend paying a little extra for the 4x4 vehicles since they are comfortable, roomy and allow for great views of the animals and scenery. Trip of a life time and Hyrax had a lot to do with it! 10 stars!

Aruni is clearly a very experienced safari guide, he went over and above to give us an amazing tour!
Our tour was seamless from beginning to end, while being a budget safari everything we needed was accounted for.
Warm water, warm accommodation, food and an amazing tour guide who was punctual and wanted us to see the best Kenya had to offer. Would recommend Karibu safaris and Aruni to anyone wanting the real Masai Mara experience ☺️

Perfect honeymoon safari in Kenya!
There is so much I could say about our wonderful safari in Kenya for our honeymoon but will try to keep it brief. Our tour guide Nelson was the most lovely, funny, bubbly, knowledgeable man who looked after us from start to finish. He has so much experience and knows endless amount not just about the animals but the parks, lodges and Kenya itself. Our happiness was clearly paramount to him and we felt like he put us first every single day, determined to see as many different animals in different situations as possible. and boy did we see a ton of animals! We could not have imagined the wonderful close encounters we would get to have with these amazing creatures.
We opted for the luxury option as it was our honeymoon which means staying at the more premium lodges. We started off in the Amboseli lodge which had an authentic safari feel to it. We enjoyed close encounters with wild monkeys while staying here in the gardens. The next lodge we stayed at was The Cliff in Lake Nukuru, which literally took our breath away. It was the most luxurious lodge overlooking the lake and was stunning. The last lodge was Entim in Masai Mara which again was incredible. You overlook the famous Masai river where the great migration takes place each year. While I was reading in the garden a giraffe wandered over and I once again got to share a private, beautiful moment with one of these wild animals.
The food at Amboseli was buffet style and was nice enough. However the food at The Cliff and Entim is a changing menu each day and it was DIVINE. I am a very fussy eater and can't believe how much I liked the food.
We also added on the hot air balloon ride with a champagne breakfast. This was such a fun experience having never done one before. And a lovely way to see the animals from a different view while floating through the sky. The breakfast in the bush was lovely and they are very generous with the champagne!
Overall I could not recommend this tour (and especially tour guide Nelson) enough! You do not have to worry about a thing while you are with them, everything is taken care of and communicated clearly to you. It's really good value for money and highly reliable. Do not hesitate and book! It really was a once in a lifetime experience and one we will cherish forever!
THANK YOU NELSON!

He was probably "Tarzan" in another life with his intimate knowledge of the animals.
If this is a "trip of a lifetime" vacation for you or you've been on other safaris, don't make the mistake of spending your money on other guides when the BEST is here. Issaya Mogomo has mastered the English language after living in the U.S. and understands our naive questions. He answers any question without hesitation or conviction. His knowledge of every animal species we saw was awesome---birds, reptiles, cats and everything on four legs. He is such a gentle soul and quickly becomes your newest, best friend and protector. He has been a guide for many years and knows most of the other guides who share their information about places to find the animals that day. Issaya is the best of the best! He is the "Tarzan of Tanzania".

They went the extra mile for us providing us with a experience we will remember always.
The safari tour included pickup from airport, transport between rhe locations in Kenya and a skilled driver / guide. The customer service answered quickly and it was really easy to book the safari.
We saw many animals and met the friendly Masai people. The guide went the extra mile for us to get good pictures of the animals
The accomodation was also superb. Would reccomend to anyone :)

The best driver/tour guide we could ever get, Aron.
I loved the overall experience I had on Safari. The driver, Aron, was truest spectacular. The day was pouring with rain and the mud was crazy; however, regardless of all those factors, he was an excellent driver and did all things for us. He drove around for us to see and experience the whole Safari and see all the animals. If I were to go again, I would definitely ask for Aron. Thank you for such a great experience.

Great budget safari experience with friendly guide
We were looking for a Safari company, that would offer us a private tour for a good price and Bujo did fit our needs. The manager (Sweve) was fast to reply via whatsapp. We did multiple iterations of different itineraries and Sweve always sent multiple options of time plan and accomodacion. When we agreed on the itenerary, we paid 10% deposit online.
The day before the start of our Safari, we met in Arusha with our guide Nick, made final arrangements and paid the rest in cash.
Nick was super friendly and very experienced guide. He knew all places very well and was very patient and tried to fulfill all our wishes. Thanks to the fact that we paid for private safari, there was only two of us (plus Nick) in the car and we could completely manage the pace at we drove in the parks. We are somewhat a enthusiast birders and thanks to that we had enough time to closely inspect the bushes when we saw some feathered activity. Even though birding is not Nicks specialisation, he had a book and actively tried to help us identify all the birds that were new to us.
We were tight on budget so we picked the cheapest version, which means staying in camp outside of park in a tented camp (Kizumba). In the camp, there were big tents with actual beds inside, which was convenient and comfortable. The boxed lunch food for safari was prepared by the camp and it was quite tasty, with some snacks like fruit and biscuits. The car we drove was smaller version of those big 8 passenger cars, with pop-up roof. The car was quite older (which is understandable for a budget safari) but beside the visual impression, it didn't affect the riding experience at all. The car had a power outlet in the passenger area but sadly it was not functional at the moment. But I was able to charge my power bank at the drivers usb outlet.
Overall, from our experience I can say that Bujo is a reliable company and we got everything we paid for. Our guide Nick is a great person and excellent guide that I would gladly recommend.
