Incredible, perfect, everything we dreamed a Safari could be and more
Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!
Our driver and guide, Julius, went above and beyond our expectations from the very beginning. He was kind, friendly, professional, and always took the time to ask us what we wanted to see and how we wanted to spend each day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he genuinely cared about making our experience as special as possible.
Julius' knowledge of the wildlife, the parks, and the surrounding environment was exceptional. We spent hours talking about the animals, conservation, and his experiences as a guide, and he was able to answer every question we had.
Thanks to Julius' incredible tracking skills and determination, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. He somehow managed to find every animal we hoped to see—often multiple times! He also made sure we were always in the best position for incredible photographs and constantly checked that we were happy and enjoying every moment. His attention to detail and genuine commitment to providing an unforgettable experience was outstanding.
A huge thank you as well to Tassiana, who made the booking process so easy.
From start to finish, the service we received was exceptional. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better safari experience and will be recommending both this company and Julius to everyone we know.

Excellent Mount Kenya trekking with Tilman
We had a really great experiencie with Tilman guys at Mount Kenya. We did the 4day/3night Sirimon-Naro Moru route. I think they give a better and fair price than other agencies for an excellent service. Also they don't overweight porters, they have a limit of 10-15kg while other companies totally overweight porters with several bags. Lenan was a great guide, explaining about the route, animals and plants. He was careful about the pace and altitude risks. The owner Charles was very helpful with transport and accommodation arrangements. Easy communication on whatsapp. They also rent equipment like sleeping bags and others. If you go to Mount Kenya is worth at least checking with them.

Very quick response time and organisation was great.
Communication was fast, even taking the time difference into account. Organised a trip that was exactly what I had hoped for. There was a miscommunication with the driver collecting me but it was resolved well once notified of the issue.

Emmah Is professional. He knows what he Is doing. He has got sharp eyes, knowledge and patience.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service from Hyrax. We had a private safari, so the car was just for the two of us, and they accommodated us with the timing and arranged our transfer from the airport to our accommodation. In the end, there was no problem extending our safari by an extra day, along with a trip we came up with later. Our guide, Emmah, was a professional — always answered our follow-up questions and would, on their own initiative, point out what we were seeing, why we were seeing it, and how it fit into the safari. Overall, I'm very happy.

Not bad
Our driver Cason from Sandton to the park was very nice and drives smoothly. The tour overall was not very satisfying as we expected to see more animals, but we only got to see a few in a 5 hours drive!!

Emmah is professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with Hyrax Safaris from start to finish. Communication before the trip was always quick, clear, and helpful, and every question we had was answered promptly.
Our guide was outstanding—professional, experienced, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw the entire Big Five, as well as cheetahs with a cub, a leopard, elephants, giraffes, hippos, and many other amazing animals. He was patient, never rushed us, and always tried to give us the best possible wildlife sightings.
The itinerary was well organized, the accommodations were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly throughout the safari. We also appreciated the flexibility when adding a Lake Naivasha trip during our journey.
This safari exceeded our expectations and gave us unforgettable memories. We highly recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable company, excellent value for money, and a truly memorable safari experience.

4 days solo budget trip to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
What matters:
Good communication and flexibility to organizte the trip.
Aging, but working 4x4 pop-up roof land cruiser.
Good tented camp accommodation. Can't complain. What I really enjoyed is that the camp was right next to a Maasai village so we just walked over and the villagers improvised a little dancing/singing for 2 of us.
Philip, our driver was by far the best I had in Kenya/Tanzania. He actively found the animals and then he smartly positinoned the car taking into account even the sun so I was able to take the best pictures on this trip with him.

Exceptional
We did a 5 days, 4 nights Safari with Ndutu green explorers. It was an amazing experience. From the start Tom was very helpful in planning our trip and choosing an itinerary tailored to our needs. He was very attentive, patient and helpful. Our guide Mack was good. Food and accommodation exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Tom and Ndutu green explorers to anyone planning a safari in the future.
