Call James for attentive smart service. I will call him again for my next visit to Africa.
Toured with Twinkle Star during October 2023. Six days, three hotels, one driver/guide. Each hotel was very different as were the sites. Each day was very special. Accommodation ranged from very good to the nicest hotel ever. George knows the parks and the animals. He knows where they are and where they are going. (He is the Wayne Gretzky of tour guides.) James had great planning suggestions and was also open to questions and changes; very easy to work with. Pricing was good too! I would use Twinkle Star/James again and would ask for George as my guide.

Great trip
Patrick and Livingston did a great job. We really enjoyed the trip; the lodges were great. A substitute camp at Amboeseli was a little rustic but served our needs. The wildlife sightings were amazing.

Fredy Able- Made my trip to Africa the best trip I have ever had
Fredy showed himself to be an amazing person both on the trail and off. Around the camp at night Fredy was funny and highly interactive. On the trail he was inspirational. Fredy was one of the two guides who summited Kilimanjaro with me- it was a perfect acent and decent! I visited a few other attractions with Fredy, he was funny and good at explaining, I was very happy. When I come back again it is essential that he is on my team!

Great experience!
While solo traveling I went for a 6 days safari tour including Masai Mara, Nakuru Lake and Amboseli, handled via Super Eagles Travels and Tours, and the experience has been great! Communication during the booking process was handled effectively by Bildad, and the organization was very good with timely pick-up from the hotel in Nairobi. The experience itself has been awesome, we were 6 people overall and were able to see beautiful places and a lot of animals, all the big five and plenty more. Our driver Clinton has been super nice and friendly, and made sure we had a great experience.

A brilliant way to discover Africa
Matthew was an excellent communicator, without being pushy. His arrangements were detailed and precise. Our driver was excellent, happy to chat and answer questions but also happy just to let us marvel at the scenery and all transfers were on time and easy. Our stay at rhino ridge was wonderful, and a wonderful introduction to African animals.

Highly motivated tour guides that know everything about wild life.
We had a great time with Remnant Tours. Our guides, Isac and Hilary, planned a well diversified 7 day trip including all the must-sees in Uganda like Murichson Falls, Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth National Park. For the mid-range package, acommodations varied between lodges and tented camps with adequate service. All in, we highly recommend going to Uganda and would always book again with Remnant Tours.

Very excellent guide and hotels, but not exactly a “luxury safari”
We started Safari with a van that, fortunely, had a problem before we started the road to Masai Mara. They kindly give us a jeep to excuse of it, but to reach the car the travel was very long and “adventurous”. First guide was very helpful, but for a “luxury safari” we were expected to have a different treatment.
When we reach the jeep in Narok, our guide was excellent. He knew very well masai mara and show us bigs 5 and all possible kind of animals live in Mara.
Ilkeliani camp was very good, in service and for food!
Lunch for the last day we were expected Spirit of Kenya provide a en route lunch packed by the hotel, but we payed a full day safari but Did only 2 Hours in the morning without a hotel meal.
Last thing that can’t allow to us to define this a Luxury Safari was the cars condition ( vero vero old) and lack of uniform for guide.

very cooperative, responsive and professional
Firstly, about Hyrax safari. We would like to thank them for their service. Special thanks to Irene for helping us plan the safari and being very responsive and cooperative.
Secondly about our guide Jim. Thanks a lot for your services. He was very cooperative, patient and knowledgeable about animals. He was an excellent driver and got us out of some crazy traffic and roads safely. He was also very flexible and patient with time and accommodated all our requests. He gave us all the time we wanted with the animals and did not rush us in anyway. In conclusion, he made sure we got the most out of our time and and was very professional.
Lastly, few hiccups to mention for Hyrax safari.
1)maybe vehicles could be slightly better condition. We had some trouble 1-2 times with it.
2) All accomodations were excellent. Just one surprise was that the Amboseli Sopa lodge was about about 45 mins away from the gate, which one should consider if they want to do early morning game drive and see the sunrise in the park.
3) Timings mentioned in the itinerary are kind of a ball park and you should generally consider 2-3 hours buffer while traveling.
All in all, Hyrax Safari completely met our expectations and our safari experience was amazing!
