We had an amazing experience in Masai Mara. The organization was perfect with the help of Emmah and all the drivers. She chose the perfect hotel for us at a good price and helped us customize the whole experience. We saw plenty of different animals and the experience was entertaining during the whole time even for most of us as adults.

Amazing experience! Totally worth it!
We were a big group of 15 people of different ages and did a 4 day tour. Emmah from Hyrax organised everything perfectly, chose the perfect place for us to stay at a very good price. Our drivers were amazing(we had 3, mine was called Sami), told us interesting things about the animals and had incredible eyesight, which helped seeing a lot of animals. In the beginning we were afraid we might not be lucky enough to spot a lion (for I don't know what reason) but after 2 hours in the savannah we had already spotted plenty of them and by the third day we started even to get tired of seeing them :). The most amazing thing was seeing a leopard eating an antelope on top of a tree, we could hear its bones cracking... If you are wondering whether to choose Hyrax, definitely book straight ahead!

I would like to sincerely thank our tour agent, Emmah, for the excellent organization throughout the trip. Everything was arranged smoothly, professionally, and with great attention to detail. Special appreciation as well to the drivers, who were punctual, reliable, and ensured our comfort and safety at all times. A truly well-coordinated team effort.
