4 day luxury Safari
The Safari was exhilarating! Jeff from Hyrax was knowledgeable, trustworthy and a true professional in his craft. The entire team was nice and pleasant to work with through the entire process -from start to end. The rooms, food and the game camp was near in class. I tried I enjoy myself! I traveled as a sole female traveler from DC and I can not wait to return with my friends. I plan to use Hyrax again and share with others their pleasant and professional services.

Great 3 days safari tour to Masai Mara
I had a wonderful 3days safari tour with Hyrax Safaris to Masai Mara from Nairobi. competent, reliable, safe and offering a great service. Experienced driver and very good organization. They are flexible to the needs of the customers. We missed a leopard only for few seconds, otherwise we saw all the other big fives. Another jeep from the same tour operator could see also the leopard, wonderful videos of the other tourists. I would join another tour with them.

Excellent
Great experience! It wasn't my first safari ever, but the first in Kenya.
I booked the 4 day tour to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and I had a great time. We managed to spot lots of animals and even an elusive leopard (despite being low season there are always great opportunities of spotting them all year round).
The guide, Joshua, was very knowledgeable, passionate and competent, ready to answer every question we'd throw at him and being a very competent driver.
I was also surprised by the lodgings, especially the Lenchada camp that, while basic, has everything we'd need for those couple of days and more;from my past experiences I didn't expect a few hours of electricity per day, cell reception, hot water in the shower and a private bathroom attached to the tent. Special mention to the food, which was delicious!
All in all, I'd redo it again, maybe during the great migration period.

Kind, funny, easygoing and hard working
We had no idea where to start with planning a safari. Roselyne made everything so easy and was super kind, attentive and responded extremely quickly. She was always in contact if you needed. We even had issues with our CC not working for the Evisa and she took care of it no problem. She offers tons of different activities you can do as well. We did a 4 day safari at the most beautiful camp in the Mara. Sarova was just amazing and the stuff were attentive, remembered our names and even our drinks and I could not have felt more at home. It was our honeymoon and they even brought out a cake for us. The lodge itself is gorgeous and the tents are so cool! The grounds are beautiful and they have everything you need. The food was top notch-we are picky! We could not have had a better game driver. Ben is absolutely amazing. He is funny, friendly, kind and most importantly he does his best to get everything on your list completed that you could dream of-mine was seeing everyone from the lion king and lots of babies haha. He was always right up close to the animals making sure we got a good look and helped take the best pictures we could ask for. Ben made our African safari come to life and truly we will never forget him. We will tell all our loved ones about hyrax and you should not hesitate to book with them! Don’t forget to get Kenya dollars for your trip, it’s easier
Roselyne was helpful with all the details we needed.
We did the 5 day trekking Chogoria up - Sirimon down, would recommend this route for more variety. Unless you are in great condition or/and have experience in high altitude trekking, I would recommend the 5 day trek to be able to enjoy it completely.
Our guide, Daniel was fantastic and the whole team was super, we had amazing food during the whole trek and everybody was very helpful, the team did a great job looking after us by all means.
The views and the landscape are truly amazing, it is definitely worth the trek (though be prepared for some altitude sickness).

I am very glad. I will repeat)))
We have finished our safari two days ago. Impressions are still fresh. We are delighted with the safari, you can write about it endlessly! But I want to write about the company itself. Our driver was very polite and friendly. It was fun and comfortable with him. He drove very fast and smart) We always had great places to take photos. In one day we saw 4 out of 5 big five! Thanks to our Ben on my camera SUCH pictures that I could not even dream of. Hirax Safari's service and assistance has been incredible for us! We are from Russia, so we have big problems with cards and cash dollars. Rosalina from Hirax Safari was EXTREMELY patient, she went above and beyond for us: patiently answered all my smart and stupid questions, always kept in touch, provided a good price tag for the safari, organized the safari, arranged and paid for visas, exchanged currency and also helped us get our money order to receive the necessary cash. Without her, our holiday would not have been possible. We will definitely go on safari again, it turned out to be the perfect drug. And we will definitely return to Hirax safari again, only there! Recommend 10 out of 10! Thanks!!!!

Well organised and memorable short tour
Chose a short 2 day trip with Hyrax during our brief stay. It was a very enjoyable experience and the team worked well to schedule pick ups and transfers and handle our accommodation booking. Fantastic coordination from Roselyne and co. Would definitely recommend.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Unique and Accommodating
This was an incredible safari! First and foremost, Hyrax Safaris leading up to our game drives, was highly professional, responsive, and flexible based on our unique requests. They were highly accommodating, making our experience that much more memorable.
Secondly, Ben, our safari tour guide, was exceptional during our game drives by providing informative facts about animal behaviors, spotting unique animals, and putting us in a position to get the best angle of the animals. Additionally, Ben was knowledgeable regarding all the routes and roads in the mara triangle and the mara river conversancy. It helps to know you have an expert tour guide who knows the roads, as you can go days without finding the animals you want to see during the game drives (I.e., Cheetahs, Leopards).
Overall, this was a great experience, and we highly recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a unique experience with never forgetting moments you can take home with you.
Thank you for the lifetime of memories, Hyrax Safaris!

Nice tour with easy communication
The communication with Hyrax Safaris over WhatsApp was very fast. They where flexible and very customer-orientated.
We were hiking Mt Kenia for 4 days. For two people we had a good, a cook and two porters. We were surprised, how luxurious the food on the tour was.
Although the weather was not on our side, the guide had good alternatives.
The price was very good and negotiable, although you have to know that the guides and porters are dependent on generous tips.
