Amazing, Curated Experience!
Hyrax quickly rose above other companies for their professionalism and quality customer support. As we were shopping around, we quickly discovered that Hyrax was timely and detailed in their responses, ensuring we had every question answered in a satisfactory manner. They helped us choose the lodge that best fit our budget and wants, and they were communicative throughout the experience. In fact, we ran into a snag with the lodge operator and Hyrax acted swiftly to find us a suitable alternative, (and even had the original lodge grant us a complementary experience), so that our overall experience was not tainted. Finally, the driver (Ben) was world-class. With his numerous years of experience, he was able to deftly navigate the Mara while sharing expert insights. Thanks to him, we saw soooo many animals and got picturesque memories that will last a lifetime. 10/10 experience!!!
Sammy was knowledgeable, great personality and fit in with my family. We felt safe and comfortable
This trip was a graduation present for my son. I am so glad I chose Hyrax Safaris as our agents. I had a great experience with Hyrax as a company. The price was fair in comparison to companies of their caliber. They communicated regularly and answered all questions promptly. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about wildlife and Kenya as a whole. I plan to use them to visit other parts of the country.

Easy-going and without any hiccups
Communication was great, we got all the info we needed and everything was quickly and easily sorted.
We were picked up at the hotel at the right time, our guide drove well and was easy to communicate with and reliable.
We got along really well, sorted the itinerary quickly and efficiently and did not deviate.
Tour was excellent. No other word for it. Our guide communicated with the other drivers so he knew exactly where to take us so we got to see everything except the rhinos and leopards - both extremely rare. We were especially wowed seeing couple of cheetahs in their morning routine and 3 lionesses with 5 cubs. Thank you Dickson!!
Tour was beautiful and informative, seeing such wild animals in their natural inhabitat was beyond amazing, camp we stayed in exceeded our expectations (power was limited - on until 22h (so not a problem) but hot water was on all the time on demand. Food was plentiful and tasteful).
Land cruiser was impressive. That car could take plenty of punishment (roads were really bad in places because of the recent rainfalls).
Maasai village was worth it. Son of the chief was our guide for the village. He explained their way of life, traditions and peculiarities. He was very nice to talk to. We also got to see one of their ritual dances. It was very interesting. And because the village was so close to the camp we also interacted with them some more in the later days in the camp. 👌
Once again, safari was out of this world. It was like seeing national geographic in real time. It was especially impressive since there weren't many tourists and there were plenty of animals even now when the migrations aren't in progress. Dickson was very knowledgeable and had a valuable info about every animal we came across.
We are very grateful and you definitely have our recommendations.
Best regards from Croatia!

Pure perfection ❤️
This was the best trip ever. We were picked up in front of our hotel at agreed time. Drive to out camp was very comfortable. Our tour guide was amazing and he spoke with all of us to see what was the best option on how to spend our 3 days of safari. Camp where we stayed was way better than we could imagine. Accommodation, food , staff was excellent. We want to Massai village which one in a lifetime experience. People were very nice and infom us about everything and we really enjoyed time with them. In the evening we would hand out in camp around fire where we share our experiences and hang out with Massai people.
We had whole day of game drive and it was breathtaking from the start. Our tour gide Dickson was excellent, we saw all the animals there and he really did his best to make that happen. All day was perfect, we even had lunch under the trees while elephant were passing by. Pure perfection. We find out so much about the park and animals and so many stories that our tour guide share with us that we will remember for ever same as the whole trip. All in all everything was perfectly organised and definitely something I would recommend to everyone. We are grateful for Hyrax Safaries for making this the best trip of our lifes. Thank you

EXCELLENT TEAM TO ASSOCIATE WITH
Being a Travel company in UAE, I had concerns over Hyrax Safaris as it was the first time I was dealing with them. But they have exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Keep rocking guys.

Good experience
Hyrax safari group was excellent in giving us the Kenya experience. We were a group of 8 and we covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru , Lake Navasha and Amboseli reserve. We took 6 nights package. Ben and Antony, our tour guides were excellent and knowledgeable. Even in rain and muddy waters their driving skills were visible and they drove jeeps out of most difficult terrains. Jeeps were good and kept clean.
They were going extra mile to show us the animals hidden off roads due to rainy season.

Professional, informative and fun!
Hyrax were a wonderful company to deal with. From initial phase of gathering our requirements, through to organising the root and communicating with me throughout, Hyrax were excellent.
I was fairly priced sensitive so when I let them know what I wanted to do and withdraw n what budget, they designed a safari which not only met my requirements, but also ensured we had the safari experience that tourists crave in Kenya.
The communications through the booking experience were fantastic. I would usually get a response within Minutes of sending a question (within business hours). When we were on the safari, the communications with our guide were also very strong.
The safari itself was so much fun. We stayed in 3 very good lodges and drive 500kms from Nairobi to Mombasa. It feels like we've been on a real adventure. We saw 46 individual species of animal, Including lions, elephants, giraffes and Zebras. When on our final day we still had not seen a lion, the guide persevered through a tropical storm to find us 3 lions resting in the grass!
I would recommend Hyrax for anyone looking for an affordable safari experience with everything you would expect from an African safari.

An unforgettable journey where you're warmly welcomed and guaranteed to see all the animals.
My first trip to Africa with Hyrax Safaris was incredible. We went on a 3-day safari adventure, exploring Masai Mara for 2 days and Lake Nakuru for 1 day. Everything was smooth from the start, thanks to Emma from Hyrax, who was super helpful. Even when a small mistake came up in our plans, she fixed it quickly. Our driver, Benny, was amazing - really friendly and knew exactly where to find all kinds of animals.
I was a bit hesitant about booking through Safari Bookings rather than a local travel agent, but it turned out to be a great choice. Choosing a private tour with a 4x4 vehicle made our experience even better, allowing us to get up close to the action. During our safari, we saw all the animals we hoped for, enjoyed the stunning natural landscapes, and experienced so much more. Masai Mara was a highlight with its rich wildlife, while Lake Nakuru offered beautiful scenery, though fewer animals.
The only minor issues were a visit to a Masai Mara village that felt a bit too touristy and a short delay in getting into Lake Nakuru.
Despite that, Emma and Benny were fantastic, making sure our safari was unforgettable. If you're dreaming of an African safari that covers great nature, all the famous animals, and more, I highly recommend Hyrax Safaris.

Very knowledgeable and accommodating
Spent 4 nights in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The service was exceptional and cost effective. We were picked up from the airport on time. The vehicles are clean and decently maintained. Our safari guide George is a gem. Exceptionally patient and friendly. One heck of a photographer too.
