They kept time each time every time.
We were kept abreast on pick up and drop off times way in advance. The gentlemen who drove us were professional and made us feel at home. They were kind enough to answer any questions we had about Zanzibar.

Absolutely Amazing Safari
Rose is fast to respond to emails and customize a safari to meet your needs. I received top-notch services from the driver and hotel attendants. The services offered were beyond my expectations. The driver Mr. Wambua ensured we saw the big five and he was patient with all of us.
The safari lasted for 3 days and all the details provided in the itinerary were adhered to.
I got value for my money.
I am impressed with Hyrax Safaris and I definitely recommend them.

well organized
Our guide Lenadi during safari was always in contact with other guides to spot as much animal as possible. Food, accomodation & etc. was all good.

The team supporting me made every effort to guarantee the trip of a lifetime! I am truly grateful!
I had a dream to conquer the two highest peaks in Africa. After my partner and I did some research on different guiding companies, we Equitorial Star due to their unanimously high ratings from clients. Equitorial star is also a locally owned and operated business in Kenya, which will save you money as you are dealing directly with the guides and not through an agent or external organisation acting as the middle man.
I spent a lot of time chatting with Duncan about my dream, and how we could make it a reality. The plan was to fly to Nairobi, then head South to Tanzania and attempt Kilimanjaro with my partner. After Kilimanjaro, my partner would return home and I would continue by myself to Mt Kenya to attempt Batian Peak, the highest peak on Mount Kenya. Batian is a long technical climb that requires specialist equipment and skills.
Right from the beginning the service from Equitorial Star was amazing. We were met at the airport by Duncan, who then introduced us to Patrick. Patrick would escort us to Tanzania where we met the local team we would work with to attempt Kilimanjaro. Patrick was with us every step of the way ensuring we had all our needs met. As my partner is inexperienced, Patrick paid extra attention to her and I believe it was due to his efforts that we both successfully summited Uhuru Peak!
After Kilimanjaro Patrick escorted us back to the Kenyan border where he had to leave us as he was required to guide another person back up the mountain. Duncan personally drove us back to Nairobi where we spent 1 night in a very nice hotel by the airport. My partner left in the morning, and Duncan collected me from the airport to start the journey to Mt Kenya. The next morning I met John and my new team and we started the climb that afternoon. I had a team of four supporting my climb, and they made me feel like royalty the whole way! John was extremely knowledgeable and taught me so much about the mountain, the flora and fauna. We also had a great time taking so many photos, and by the end of the trip John was basically a professional photographer!
I wasn't expecting to summit Lenana peak, but after chatting with John he was very serious about guiding me up Lenana on the way to Shiptons camp! We successfully summited Lenana and then continued down to Shiptons camp, where I waited to meet my technical guide. That afternoon Simon met me at Shiptons, and we prepared our climbing gear for the following day. Simon is a 50 year old mountain ranger who loves to climb and has been a technical guide for many years. I was completely amazed by his knowledge of the route and familiarity with the mountain. He guided me safely to the highest point on Mount Kenya, Batian Peak, a memory that will stay with me forever!
The next morning I was back with John and the crew, and we made our way back down the mountain and towards a hot shower.
Duncan then transferred me back to a hotel near the airport in Nairobi, having provided me the trip of a lifetime!
I had a dream to summit 2 peaks, and the crew at Equatorial Star helped me successfully summit 3!
I would love to go back and do it all again some day!

Fantastic trip
We had a fantastic trip, trip of a lifetime really. Everyone was very helpful from the early stages of planning, a number of changes in dates and people right down to the actual climbing trip where everything was organised well and worked out pretty much exactly how I imagined it. Mount Kilimanjaro was amazing, very interesting and off the beaten path. The guides were amazing and we learned so much. All the porters we had were very friendly and patient with us. The scenic Lemosho route Trail was just a fantastic experience all around. Massawe our guide and crew were amazing and we felt like we had the Kilimanjaro to ourselves. Highly recommended for their good service.
