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.

Phenomenal experience
We had a lovely experience with Hyrax safaris. Emaah was really helpful and accommodating in last minute requests. She also helped in planning a wonderful Birthday surprise for my husband. Our tour guide and driver George was amazing. He didn’t leave any stone unturned to provide us the best safari experience.

Once in a lifetime experience
Hyrax are a safari expert group, they know very well their ecological area🌿, animals' behaviours and their movement patterns🐾. Amazing package = affordable prices + hospitable treatment + skilled driver and guide. We saw all big five 🦏, except for the leopard 🐆 The food was not fancy but home made and healthy. We slept in tents and felt very safe with the locals. The village tour was also very nice and we ended the tour with a boat trip outside of Nairobi. Highly recommended!

Perfect Coordination
After lots of research, we chose Hyrax Safaris because they offered an easily customizable plan as well as a great price compared to its competitors. Correspondence was always quick with Ms Emmah. Service was unbeatable from start to finish. Our driver Mr Anthony was on time for pickup. We had a great adventure that we will share for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend booking a tour with Hyrax Safaris.

Irene is perfect! Quick replies, detailed and patient answers, perfectly eased our concerns.
1. Pre-travel Contact: Our group of four booked a 7-day safari tour with Hyrax Safari, and Irene responded to us quickly, offering a very cost-effective price. She patiently addressed our concerns (such as potential hidden costs, accommodations, tips, etc.). Her responses were very timely, and she took every question we had seriously, making communication smooth and very positive.
2. Safari Tour: We opted for a shared tour, traveling with three other ladies. Our guide was Martin, who was professional, enthusiastic, and humorous. He asked us at the beginning what animals we wanted to see and was very keen on helping us spot almost every animal we wished to see. In the Maasai Mara, he was diligent in tracking animals and positioned us perfectly to observe a lion hunt. His driving skills were excellent, preventing me, who easily gets motion sick, from feeling car sick throughout the journey. Moreover, whenever we asked him questions about the animals, he answered seriously.
During meals in the wild, he ensured our safety throughout, which made us feel very secure. He was fantastic!
