Exciting trip to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru
I have used other companies before but Hyrax stood out for me. The team was prompt in replying messages and helping us choose the most suitable package. The safari was short but interesting. With the help of John the driver, we managed to see the big five, flamingoes and Savanna vegetation. We took lots of photos in and outside the parks. The prices were friendly and resonable. The Hyrax team went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the trip. The accommodation at Mara and Nakuru were perfect! I also learnt some Swahili words like "Jambo". I will be back for more trips.

Stanley Rua was a perfect guide
This was our first safari. The reservation process was easy and the response to our emails was fast. We got picked up at our hotel in nairobi and we got dropped off at another hotel when the safari was over. We had a great experience with Rua and Moses (guide and cook). We visited Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara (Kenya) during 7 days and we were very confortable and happy with them. Rua is a great driver and guide and Moses made really good meals. My husband and I enjoyed both the safari and their company. We saw so many amazing things and Rua was always trying his best to take us to the best spots. We had a great time. Thank you

It was a great safari trip for me
I would say this is a very excellent trip for me during the 8 days in Tanzania. The safari guide is excellent, we have lots of fun during the trip. Lots of my friends want to get more information about this trip when I share my photos in the WeChat, I would no doubt like to recommend this to my friends if they want to visit Tanzania for safari tour. Hopefully I could come to here in near future again.

4 day Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth
I would recommend Wild Jungle Trails! I contacted more than 15 companies and WJT offered the most competitive price and a good itinerary.
The lodges are nice but nothing luxurious.
The highlight is the guide, Twaha! First and foremost, safaris involves a lot of driving but I have always felt that I was in safe hands!
The best part was when he was in the parks looking for animals! He would always be calling other guides in the park to see where the animals are - he really puts in his efforts! And you can tell he is well connected with other guides from different companies since he would stop for a short chat with other passing by safari vehicles.
The outcome was super positive as well! I managed to see lions and a leoperd in just one day!!

Fantastic Safari, lots of unforgettable experience
BMS Safari is a very well organized company. They were very friendly, helpful and answered all the questions and wishes we had before. The driver of the Safari was great, he did his very best to show us the most impressive things and had an awesome sense where to see the best animals. Eventhough the nights in the tents were a bit adventurous (quite cold, animals at the tent, no proper bathrooms) the experiences at daytime compensated it. The price was compared to other Safaris very fair!! We can only recommend BMS Safari!!

All we asked and more.
Loma provided us with the experience of a lifetime. My mother had a stroke 3 months before we were scheduled to leave and Jake and Stacy provided us with our guide Loma. He accommodated our every need. He always kept us informed on what was next but still asked us what we wanted to see next. He NEVER failed to deliver. We were able to photograph the Big 5 and cared for my mother as if she were his mother. Thanks for everything from the planning and recommendations to following through with everything promised.

Superior customer focused local business with expert safari guides
I was very happy with my solo safari of 15 days that I organised with Mr.Otieno ('OT'). All my dealings with OT via email prior to my trip were promptly answered and on arrival at Nairobi after meeting my guide Albert I was taken to meet OT which I gather is what he does with all his clients. I found this very refreshing, OT was genuinely interested in ensuring that I had a great holiday.
Prior to selecting KWSS I had struggled in finding a safari that covered what I wanted. The big group trips seemed rushed and of poorer value. My single supplement was very reasonable with KWSS, and the safari that I had selected covered the key game parks in both countries well without the time wasting of backtracking (this is very important - google map the distances between the parks for driving time).
I had two very experienced guides - Albert in Kenya and Modi in Tanzania. Both are locals who know their parks as experts. My route to Samburu, across to Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha then to the Masai Mara was terrific. Then I crossed the border in Tanzania at Isebania then directly to the Serengeti (this saved a day unlike most trips that takes the very long way via Nairobi to get between these two parks). Then onto the fabulous Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Arusha, the Kilimanjaro slopes and across the border to the fabulous Amboseli in Kenya to get the elusive elephants with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background photo (Success!). All up a wonderful trip with fabulous friendly and humble people throughout with very good accomodation that exceeded my expectations ('glamping' in several of the big game parks was special). Via OT I also chose to book the balloon flight in the Masai Mara - I'm so pleased I did, I'll always remember the flight and new friends I made.

Marvelous and efficient services provided
Tongesai, a fantastic guy who attended to every detail. He made all the best efforts for me to get to the game drive, Hwange National Park. Very cool person and has a professional approach. He also made arrangements for the Adventure activity in Zambia and escorted me personally and to the Vic Falls tour since I was alone. He took great pictures of mine at the Falls. Overall, my best experience in Africa - with the Game as well as the activity. Tongesai, a big thank you and I wish you all the very best.
