I am very glad. I will repeat)))
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Incredible experience with an amazing tour guide!
5/5

After a lot of research to find a Tour Guide for Masai Mara, I chose Hydrax Safari. Roselyne was incredibly responsive, offered us great value for money, and was very efficient with respect to getting our itinerary finalised. I could not be more happy with our choice. We opted for luxury accommodation, and decided to stay at Kichwa Tembo Luxury Camps, which was definitely one of our highlights. The staff at Kichwa Tembo were attentive to our needs, the views from the camp were breath-taking, and all the food and drinks were inclusive. Edward was our amazing tour guide, who made us feel very comfortable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals we saw during our safari, which led to us seeing the Big 5, including lions, cheetahs and leopards. Edward was very entertaining throughout the safari, and definitely helped make this a once in a lifetime experience. I have no reservations about recommending Hydrax Safari for your next safari.

Well organized tour with an amazing guide
5/5

We booked a 5 days 4 nights tour to Kenya with Hyrax through safari bookings. It was a very well organized tour across Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Since this was our first African Safari we did not book the tent experience inside the Mara reserve, which in hindsight we feel we should have done. That is the only crib I have with the tour. We were able to cover the big five within 2 hours of the game drive in Mara. Mara is a must in a lifetime experience for all and it is the closest that one can get to nature.

A big shout out to our tour guide Ben was very friendly, knowledgeable and was very accomodating with requests from our side. Roselyne who was managing our bookings was extremely supportive.

Highly recommend Hyrax for safaris in Kenya.
