An Unforgettable 9-Day Safari Experience with Hyrax Safari - We had an incredible 9-day safari with Hyrax Safari, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very beginning, Emmah was fantastic—she made the whole planning process so easy, was flexible with all our requests, and even arranged a last-minute transfer for us without any hassle. She went above and beyond, even coming to meet us in person, which made us feel really well cared for.
Our guide and driver, Ben, was equally amazing. He was not only knowledgeable and friendly but also extremely well-connected, which meant we had the best possible experiences in Masai Mara, Nairobi National Park, and Amboseli. He shared so many fascinating facts about wildlife and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
The entire trip was seamless, fun, and truly memorable thanks to the Hyrax Safari team. If you’re looking for a reliable, flexible, and professional safari company in Kenya, Hyrax Safari is the one to choose. We’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and family!

A Seamless, Unforgettable Safari – Hyrax Safaris Delivered Beyond Expectations 🐾 - From the very first message, Hyrax Safaris impressed us with their professionalism and personal touch. Roselyne was an absolute star—her communication was clear, reassuring, and always timely. She made the planning process feel effortless, keeping me informed every step of the way and answering all my questions with patience and care. We even had a few chats via WhatsApp, and nothing was ever too much trouble.
The day before our safari, we were met at our hotel by Edwin, who was joining the trip as part of his learning journey. He collected the remaining payment, provided a receipt, and surprised us with four safari hats—a thoughtful gesture that my kids absolutely loved and wore with pride throughout the trip.
The safari itself was outstanding. Our driver and guide, Jim, was phenomenal—his knowledge of the Masai Mara was deep and engaging, and he answered every question with enthusiasm. Thanks to his expertise, we saw four of the Big Five, including the elusive leopard and cheetah, which felt like a dream come true.
Roselyne’s recommendation to stay at Enkorok Mara Camp was spot on. The camp was comfortable, well-run, and perfectly located for game drives. While the journey from Nairobi is long and bumpy, it’s absolutely worth it for the experience that awaits.
Having a private safari made all the difference—we had the flexibility to tailor our days, linger where we wanted, and enjoy the adventure at our own pace. It was worth every extra penny for the freedom and intimacy it provided.
Jim and Edwin were not just guides—they became part of the fun. We shared laughs, stories, and unforgettable moments. They’re a true credit to Hyrax Safaris.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so glad I trusted Hyrax Safaris to deliver it. If you're considering a safari in Kenya, look no further—this team will make it magical.

Best service, quick response, amazing experience - Amazing service, they organized the whole trip for us (flights, transport, hotels, experiences, and guides). Everything eas on point and more than what we expected. The guide was an amazing off-roader in the Safari with extensive knowledge and stories about the animals! Definitely would come again with my family

Amazing safari experience organised by Hyrax at Ashnil Camp - We had a great experience with Hyrax Safaris. Irene was our coordinator and she did a great job in communicating swiftly and efficiently.
Our guide was Antony - he was punctual, kind and patient. He did a good job with the game drives. We stayed at the Ashnil Camp. The camp was very impressive with well equipped and comfortable tents, amazing food (including Indian options) and extremely friendly and kind staff. Thank you Irene and Antony - our overall experience at Maasai Mara was very memorable. I would definitely recommend going with Hyrax Safaris.

the African experience - I want to thank Hyrax so much....I would say I booked around a 3 star price but the accommodation I got was more like 4-5 star. the only night I had an issue with the room Hyrax changed it immediately after 20 mins. I generally don't leave comments unless its very bad or good.....so thank u Hyrax...great job and service.

Wonderful visit to Masai Mara in March - Hyrax arranged a personalized itinerary for me and my wife. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi and brought to Wilson Airport for a short 50 minute flight to Masai Mara. At the airstrip in Masai Mara, we were met by Benson!
Benson was an absolutely amazing host. He is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, knows his way around, is deeply connected to a network of guides who share location information about sitings, and is able to spot animals far away and guide us to them. Benson is also a lovely person, and it was easy to spend 6 hours a day riding around the reserve with him.
Hyrax gave us choices of lodging options within our budget. We selected Ashnil Mara, whose location on the river was a treat. From our table in the dining room, we could see and hear Hippos and Crocodiles at every meal. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and the food buffet was plentiful and varied.
I highly recommend a visit to Masai Mara where you are sure to see the Big 5. Hyrax delivered everything they promised and made things simple.

FANTASTIC Safari and Guide !!! - There are not enough fantastic, and amazing words to describe our Hyrax Safari. Our guide Sammy was informative, educational and he was ALWAYS in the right place at the right time. His knowledge of each animal's habits, habitat, life journey and their interaction with the other animals was very in-depth. He answered all of our questions and more. If and when I return to Masai Mara Reserve with my grandchildren I will absolutely use Hyrax Safaris and request Sammy as my guide. He went above and beyond to make the experience educational and memorable. He's FANTASTIC !! Here are only a few pics of the animals we saw.

Best time in Safari - Our 4 day Masai Mara Safari was perfect! We were also in Naivasha and Nakuru. 3 so different but all amazing places. Both accomodations on our Safari were great, camping had really good food. All the staff was very kind and helpful. Our driver Jim knows the best spots and he was really trying hard to see as much as we can. With him was also guy on induction, he was very friendly and all of the time with us.

Efficient company, fantastic guide - Normally, when I travel I do a fair amount of research into my destination and options. I added 3 days in Masai Mara onto a trip primarily to climb Mt. Kenya. I picked Hyrax rather randomly. I was not at all disappointed. I chose to go my Jeep from Nairobi and return by plane. I highly recommend driving one direction (6 hours) as it allows you to see the Rif Valley and rural Kenyan towns. My guide, Kwaheri was absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable about the history of the area and once in the park, knew every twist and turn. In two full days, I saw countless animals but equally important great vistas of the river and plaines. I was by myself, which allowed for great flexibility. Plane tickets and lodge reservations were all taken care of in an efficient manner. I would absolutely consider booking with Hyrax in the future.

Hyrax Safaris delivers exceptional service for a trip of a lifetime. - My friends and I experienced a wonderful and unforgettable trip to Africa organized by Roselyne of Hyrax Safaris.
Hyrax Safaris worked with us to create an amazing itinerary! It was a perfect blend and mixture of adventure, relaxation and cultural immersion. We traveled to several destinations and each of the accommodations and excursions were fabulous. The safari was outstanding and breathtaking! The tour guides (Tony and Joshua) were extremely knowledgeable about the destinations we visited; they offered insightful information about the local culture, wildlife, and history. Their personality and enthusiasm truly enhanced our experience.
The memories that occurred I will cherish. I cannot thank Hyrax Safaris enough for the exceptional service and experience provided. Their attentiveness to details, responsiveness and communication made working with their company wonderful. I highly recommend Hyrax Safaris.
