We went on a 7-day trip with Hirax Safari, starting with a trekking adventure on Mt. Kenya followed by visits to three amazing safari parks. Everything was absolutely fantastic – very well organized, professional, and with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend Hirax Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Africa!

An Absolutely Wonderful Experience with Hyrax! Thank you Stella, Daniel, Daniel, Douglas, John, Kim, Lalos, Patrick, Sam, Sam!!! We did a 4-day hike on Mt. Kenya with Hyrax, and it was absolutely wonderful! The guides, cook, and porters were all fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and engaging. They made the entire trip such a joy from start to finish. The company was easy to contact, well-organised, and truly professional. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well cared for. It was a wonderful experience all around, and we thoroughly recommend Hyrax to anyone looking for a local, reliable, and friendly team for their Mt. Kenya adventure. Bronwyn Woollamia, Australia

We hiked Mt Kenya over 4 days. The whole experience was such a good adventure. The guides and porters were all so friendly and went out of their way to make sure you had a good time. Our main guide Dan was really helpful and generous. There were other hikers and groups around on the mountain but it didnt feel too busy which can take away from the sense of remotness and adventure. As I mentioned we hiked it over 4 days, I would suggest doing it over 5 days to help with the acclimatisation as we definitely felt it. Hyrax were a great company, Irene always responded prompting to our emails and answered all questions. They also dropped us to the airport at the end of the trip which we hadn't expected. Thank you for an amazing experience and looking after us so well!

I really enjoyed my time climbing my Kenya with hyrax safaris. My guide Daniel was a solid guide. Super fit and knowledgeable about the terrain/landscapes and nature. He would point out the different species of plant and animals, encourage us and always keep an eye out for us when we were climbing. His climbing experience is second to none. Our second guide, Sam, is also an experienced climber, having climbed mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro countless times. I really enjoyed hearing his stories and learning Swahili from him while climbing. 100% recommend. Go with hyrax and you won’t regret!

We did the 4 day 3 night hiking tour of mount kenya and frankly it was spectacular. We had a private tour but was supported by a team of 5. We had everything we could need in the tour in terms of camping equipment, food and even porters helping you share the load. The hike itself is spectacular and I couldn’t recommend hydrax enough if you thinking of a Mount Kenya hike. The team are super friendly and made the whole experience stress free.

I am so glad to have booked my Mount Kenya hike through Hyrax Safaris. Emmah gave me plenty of information and was always quick to respond. The team, which consisted of Daniel, Kim, Douglas, John, and Morris, looked after us amazingly the whole time and made the experience unforgettable. The memories created will be with me for a lifetime and it wouldn't have been possible without Hyrax Safaris.

I did the Mount Kenya 4 day hiking trip with Hyrax safaris. My guide Daniel was excellent and the hike was really enjoyable. I had a great time and always felt we were being looked after by Daniel and the rest of the team. The views were excellent and scenery was well worth the trip.
