Professional, efficient, and a smooth adventure from start to finish
Irene was very efficient and supportive from the moment she sent the quote to the moment I returned home; she was always available to answer any questions and ease any doubts or concerns. The whole journey was incredibly smooth, from being picked up to the airport, going to the camp, Lake Nakuru and then back to the airport; the drivers were professional, knowledgeable and were always willing to answer any questions. The adventure itself was spectacular, with such experienced drivers, we were able to see some spectacular sights, the highlight being able to witness a pride of lionesses hunt.
The “budget camp” was better than expected - the tent had a comfortable double bed, with a mosquito net draping over it, as well as a fully functional bathroom. Although there was electricity in the tents, the camp did not have wifi. The food, despite being limited in choice, was always good quality, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed.
The visit to the Masai village was an eye-opening experience, and it was an honour to share their culture. After mentioning that I was a teacher, they invited me to tour the local school too. The hospitality demonstrated by everyone was genuine.
I had an amazing time on this four day safari and would highly recommend this experience.

It was an unforgettable experience 🤩
We really enjoyed it. All the staff and the people we meet are so lovely, friendly and were kind to us, in the camp or even in the masai village. A big thanks to our driver Ben he was so helpful and lovely, we enjoyed our time with him.
I will recommend it to my friends. It was really worth it.
And seeing all the animals in the masai mara is something else 🤩 . We loved it.
Thank you so much for your effort, your help, and your organized plan ❤️

Extremely Professional
My girlfriend and I went on a 7 day safari organised by Hyrax. We had an excellent service from point of enquiry until the end of our trip.
Emmah was extremely helpful in tailoring us a bespoke Safari route from Nairobi to Mombasa. And our driver guide, Tony, was very knowledgeable about the history, the culture and the wildlife of Kenya.
We had the absolute trip of a lifetime and I’m not sure how we’ll ever manage to top this trip!

Very good tour operator
We had a 6 day Safari starting Nairobi, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha (it is opțional but we recommend it), Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Irene was our contact from Hyrax and we were really happy with her, we asked a lot of questions before and during the Safari and she managed to get an answer or a solution every time. The Safari experience depends on many factors: weather, driver and luck. We manage to see all the Big 5 animals, including black rhino and many more. You have to take into consideration that you will spend a lot of time on the roads between parks, you will have 2 full day Safari (one in Masai Mara and one in Amboseli) and 3 other days you will have only 2-3 hours of Safari, the rest you will be on the road between parks. We recommend to pay extra for the Jeep (Land Cruiser), it’s more comfortable and you can get into places that the Van cannot go. We took the upgrade for accommodation to mid budget, it’s not the best but you get what you pay. We recommend mid accommodation, at least for Masai Mara. In Lake Nakuru the hotel was nice and the food was great, in Amboseli the camp was nice even though we had some problems with the mosquitoes and other insects in our tent, but the view to Kilimanjaro in the morning was priceless.

Well planned and executed
I was very happy with communication with Emma during the bookings, very flexible towards creating a plan and finding the right fit. The hotels she had booked were amazing and perfect. All these hotels were very flexible in providing us vegetarian food 3 times a day!
Special mention to Harry our guide, he is amazing, friendly and knowledgable. We had a great experience in safari and travel because of him.

Great tour that provides everything needed to have the whole safari experience.
100% recommended to anyone who wants to live the full Safari experience. Our guide Johnny was amazing, he did his best to spot different animals and take us the exact location to be able to see lions, lioness, giraffes, elephants or any other animal almost in front of us! It was an incredible weekend that went beyond my expectations.

Great safari experience with Hyrax Safaris
It is a great safari experience with Hyrax Safaris in Kenya. We have explored many fantastic places / cities during our 9-day trip, and seen various wild animals closely, even those rare species. The recommended hotels are clean / tidy and serve good quality of food. Definitely, this is a memorable trip and hope to visit Kenya in the future.

Reachable and attentive to responsive to questions on accommodation and tour specifics.
I started with hyrax (Irene) on a recommendation from a friend who had already done a booking with them, so, had some comfort intially. They were able to provide accommodation options and multiple packages to customise our trip. We went to Masai Mara, Nakuru/Naivasha and Amboseli with them and enjoyed each more than the previous one.
The guide, Alex, was especially good when it came to looking for sightings, helped us with names of animals and context for their activities.
We were able to update accommodations to suit our needs and even when we went with Irene's recommendation on Amboseli when we did not have comfort on reviews, it panned out well.
Overall, a good experience, with the tour and guide.

Very easy to book with a responsive to questions.
I went through a lot of operators when I was booking my safari. I went with a 7 day safari with Hyrax. Emmah was very easy to work with and responded to all of my questions. The safari itself was a breeze once we started. Their prices were reasonable, I did the budget option, but would recommend a mid level option for those flexibility on how much they want to spend. The difference comes down to accommodations and the budget option was ok although very basic and you may share a room with a few other guests depending on availability. Overall I’d recommend Hyrax for anyone considering a safari in Kenya
