Awesome five days
My friends and I had an amazing time hiking Mount Kenya with the Hyrax Safaris crew. All eight members of the team made the entire trip comfortable, enjoyable and truly memorable. The organisation was excellent, the food was great, and the value for money was very good.
Having already travelled around Kenya extensively, we were especially impressed by the crew. They were reliable, professional and genuinely friendly, and we really enjoyed exchanging cultural experiences and hearing about their lives and stories. The conversations around the campfire were some of the highlights of the trip. No one ever mentioned or expected a tip, which made us even happier to give one at the end. We would absolutely recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, reliable and genuinely enjoyable Mount Kenya experience.

Lawrence gave excellent service and is a knowledgeable guide
I’ve been going on safaris with Lawrence for a few years now, and he’s easily my go-to guide. Because my main passion is bird photography, he always knows exactly where to take me to get the best light and sightings. Lawrence is patient, super reliable, and genuinely hilarious to hang out with. We just visited Nairobi National Park and Lake Nakuru last week, and it was fantastic—so many incredible photo ops. If you want a safari experience that goes way beyond just ticking off the Big Five, definitely book with Lawrence!

Our safari guide Ally was absolutely phenomenal throughout our entire trip in Tanzania! As a male guide, he was incredibly enthusiastic, thoughtful and attentive to every single detail of our journey. Ally paid close attention to all our wishes and made sure we got sightings of every animal on our must-see list, from the Big Five to rare species we’d hoped to spot. His passion for wildlife and patient, warm service made our safari experience far more memorable than we could have imagined. We couldn’t ask for a more caring and professional guide, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ally to anyone visiting Tanzania.
Excellent
Our guide and driver in Tanzania, Ally, was truly exceptional，he is simply an incredibly good driver and an outstanding guide. His knowledge of wildlife and plants is remarkable, and his professionalism made the entire journey smooth and unforgettable.
He is also extremely kind, patient, and thoughtful. He always checked in with us, listened carefully to our preferences, and tailored every part of the trip to match our interests perfectly.
What really made a difference was how dedicated he was during game drives，Ally would actively help us find the best angles to observe animals and always made sure we had the best possible views. He also helped us take photos, making sure we captured those special moments beautifully.
When I got injured, he even went out of his way to take me to different pharmacies to find what I needed, which showed how caring and responsible he truly is. He is sincere, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around.
Ally is an amazing person and an exceptional guide. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him. Wishing him all the best and many more opportunities ahead，he truly deserves it.

You get a great value for the money and they try their best to make it as comfortable as possible.
We were with Pascal for the first two days and we had a lot of beautiful sightings.
The lodge we stayed at was nice. The food, the service and the location was as you wish it to be. The barbecue was the highlight at the dinner.
Pascal always got the best spots for us to get a nice view over everything (landscapes and nature).
Having a huge elephant twice next to you was a unbelievable experience.

Above all expectations
We did a 5-day primates safari, and it was absolutely amazing. Everything went flawlessly, from the booking process to the airport drop-off. We had an amazing guide, Isaac, who made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the trip.
I also had some health issues during the safari, and Isaac went above and beyond to help. He spoke with the rangers and made sure I was still able to complete the gorilla trek, which meant the world to me.
I can't recommend this company enough. If you're looking for a well-organized safari with excellent service and a truly memorable experience, this is the one.

Excellent communication always there for you and going the extra mile

Unforgettable Safari with Pascal
We had the most amazing time with Suircata Safari especially with our guide Pascal.
His knowledge not only on all the different animals but about his country and the people were brilliant.
Pascal was very informative, welcoming, funny and overall had a great character. Pascal made us feel welcome and really made the experience of our first Safari that much better. We were only with him for 2 of our game drives as the company changed the schedule which is such a shame but we are very grateful for the experience with him.
Every game drive we did there was no rush, he made sure we got the best photo shots and made the most out of our family Safari experience.
I would highly recommend Suricata Safari, if you are getting Pascal as your guide you are in for an amazing experience.
Suricata boma lodge was also brilliant, the staff were so friendly. All the food included was high quality and delicious, even for my fussy teenage brother he enjoyed it! The lodges are beautiful and really heightened our safari expierence but with a touch of luxury.
There is a couple of things that lets the safari down. The communication was poor prior to arriving, I had no one ask for airport pick up details and I had to chase this myself. The airport hotel was also horrendous. The electrics were hanging off the wall which gave me an electric shock when I tried to turn the light on and cockroaches in the room, it smelt of damp with not even amenities provided, one towel between 2 of us. Also the person who came to meet us at the airport hotel prior to the safari gave us the wrong information.
I feel this is minor and would not effect booking with Suricata Safari again! I can only hope one day I can return and do this once in a lift time experience again.
