Fantastic Experience!
My husband and I chose Spirit of Kenya for our first safari as my Goddaughter had used them for her honeymoon trip and was very happy with them. We are quite thankful for her recommendation as we had a great trip!
Our driver/guide, Michael, was excellent. He picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and was with us for the week as we visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. He is an excellent guide and did his best to find the Big 5! We really enjoyed our conversations with him and learned so much about Kenya, the different parks, the animals and anything else we wanted to know.
Spirit of Kenya offered us lodging options at each of our locations and we were pleased with our choices. You can go from "budget/standard" to "luxury/premium" at each place; we chose the premium options which were all fantastic.
Vanessa was extremely helpful in the planning of our trip. We actually booked the trip just a month before leaving and it all went very smoothly thanks to her prompt replies to my many questions. The weather was great other than an hour of rain at the Lake and then on the last day in Maasai Mara, so we were quite happy with going in April.
I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya - you won't be disappointed!

We found out safari to be very good value and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The safari, animals and people was definitely the highlight of our time in Africa.

Super organization
Thank you Murray for the great organization. We chose Serengeti Park, with one night in the national park. We took off from Zanzibar, the transfer is included. Lunch, dinner and breakfast are included. Of the big five in Africa, only the rhinoceros was not seen, apparently next time :-)

Decent and affordable.
I booked the tour 2 days before it started. This was the best offer for the price. At my request, a transfer was provided. Everything was worthy. Despite the rainy weather, we visited all the stated locations. The staff and drivers are friendly. If you are offered additional services, simply refuse if you are not willing to pay extra. I recommend.

It was hard to communicate with them until we found the WhatsApp number then it was good
Seemed a bit rushed, but covered a lot of ground in 7 days.

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.

Very reliable, great experience and helpful with my questions
The booking was very good, very helpful in the process and all questions asked. The guide Moses was amazing! He's an excellent driver, who took us to the best spots even through mud and rain to get the best pictures, he knows a lot and gave us good information. He was also reliable, flexible with everyone's schedule but knowing the main timing needs, helped with everything needed, took us to local places and he's known and respected by local communities so this is always a green flag for me. He managed the weather amazingly well in rainy season and my experience was amazing thanks to him and John. Super nice people, friendly and professional.
The price was higher than with other agencies for the exact same package so I found that a bit discouraging when I found out but other than that every service was very good quality and no suprises: everything that was not included was clear since the start. Accommodation was great, food was good and overall I'm 100% satisfied and happy to have done it.

Awesome safari and very good communication!
Lizzy at Leobeast is a charm, I would recommend anyone to book with her 👍 She communicated clearly and respectfully, gave me all the information I needed and also plenty of time to make my decision. On top of this, Leobeast offered very good value for money.
I enjoyed a 5-day budget safari (Maasai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha) as a solo traveller in a group joining setting. We were with 6 tourists in the Land Cruiser, combined via different tour agencies. This worked very well.
The driver, Moses, was very skilled and knowledgeable. We felt perfectly safe with him behind the wheel and he was always kind and patient with us when we had questions or needed some explanation about the schedule for the next days.
The accomodation in the budget tour exceeded my expectations. The Lenchada Camp at Maasai Mara was very nice, with tents covered by a proper roof and equipped with private shower and toilet. The hotels in Nakuru and Naivasha were excellent. I would only recommend a medium-level tour over budget if you really want to have the lodge experience every night. But even then you need to be aware that you're spending very little time there as you're mostly up and about between 6 and 7 in the morning anyway.
