Very good safari
We had a very good experience doing safari with Meektrails.
We fully recommend our guide Samwell who does his best to make the experience go as smoothly as possible.
We took a package including Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara, all three locations are very good.
The hotels were all excellent including the food, especially the Masai Mara one, however, the Nakuru one, even though is very good, is too remote.
Our advice would be to discuss all details prior to the safari to tailor the experience to your tastes, Meektrails Safaris are available to discuss/change any points as needed.
What we would do different:
- Take a Jeep not a minivan; even though it's more expensive, it's worth it seeing the time you spend in it and the quality of the roads.
- At Zebra lodge, for an extra fee, you can have a Savannah side lodge which has a view on the animals directly instead of a hillside lodge
- Be sure to go at a time where there are no chance of rain, we had a few hurdles due to unexpected rain for the season.
- Take more days in Masai Mara (we had 1 day/game drive)
Overall we highly recommend Meektrails and especially Samwell!
the +:
- Samwell our guide, who is very professional and kind
- Zebra lodge hotel in Masai Mara
the -:
- The Masai village visit was too rushed and very expensive (not included in the price)

highly recommended
Before coming to Kenya I read that your impression and safari success heavily depends on the guide, we were very lucky to Guideon from Meektrails Safaris as our reliable and caring guide, overall level of organization was very high and I would also recommend this tour operator.
Everything was well organized: the tour consultant, Victor, was very responsive and helpful, answering timely and gently all of our questions. We have got a free of charge sim card with internet that helped us to stay in touch with the family. We ordered a private car and it was very comfortable, always clean, water always available in the fridge of the car. All of the places where we stayed (we chose a medium level of comfort) had clean and nice bedrooms, tasty food and good wi-fi.
We paid 30% in advance to secure the booking, and it was assured that if something happens we could also get a full refund. Luckily, we were able to come and enjoy those 5 days of incredible safari.
We definitely recommend Meektrails Safaris as a reliable tour operator!

A wonderful Safari journey in Kenya provided to my whole family, safari guide Gideon is excellent.
I'm so grateful that I finally chose Meektrails as safari company because several reasons:
- The service reps Pauline obtained all my requests and response with an agile attitude, such as whole family including two children need enough beds to ensure comfortable sleeping, arranged whole journey schedule catering for my flight time, very comfortable and impressive hotels, and stay longer days in major national parks to obtain sufficient safari experiences.
- Our 11 days safari guide Gideon is amazing. From the 1st day when I shared with him the safari target is not only capturing Africa big five, but also looking for those small ones and typical in east Africa, then he used his shape eyes and rich experiences to support whole family capture every animals he could see, and found the best viewpoint to take photos to record those beautiful animals and moments. Besides accurately located animals, Gideon also proactively shared lots of Kenya culture to us, I must say, those sharing information is a big surprise to the whole family that besides animals, we could learn more about Africa, Kenya and local culture. My two sons likes Gideon so much, because he always think about their request and adjust schedule with flexibility.
With 11 days, I should say our whole family treat Gideon as a good friend not only guide. We all treat this great journey as wonderful memory.

unforgettable week of vacation
We, a married couple from Kazakhstan, booked a private tour with Meektrails Safari, a 7-day program through the best parks in Kenya (Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, Masai Mara)
We were picked up from the hotel by Daniel, Victor and introduced to our guide-ranger-driver Samuel.
When booking a tour, I recommend asking for guide Samuel. He is a kind, well-mannered, tactful, cheerful person. You can see how much he loves animals and knows everything about them. Thanks to him, we saw so many unforgettable moments with animals and learned many stories and facts about them.
He is also an experienced driver, his driving is safe and the car was very comfortable. Bottled water was always available and replenished.
These 6 days flew by in one breath. The whole tour was very professionally organized, all the hotels were of excellent quality, which allowed us to take a break from the road and get enough sleep. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners were thought out, the food was always on time and delicious.
Many thanks to the company and our guide Samuel, this experience was unforgettable. Now we dream of visiting other parks in Kenya.
We recommend the company and wish you a wonderful safari.

Fantastic family bonding safari with Meektrails
Wow, just wow!
Our 13-people family enjoyed 8 day/7 nights safari in Masa Mara, Hells Gate, Mt. Longonot and Amboseli with Meektrails.
Wonderful Pauline helped with immaculate tour plannning that accomodated all our specific needs and wishes, whereafter guide &- drivers Nderitu and Steve delivered and took us through the experience of a lifetime.
Travelling with a 13 people group is a logistic challenge, but Nderitu and Steve were fun, knowledgeable, great company and fully flexible to a changing programme and helped to keep everyone happy.
Our safari was a horn of plenty and value for money was great. On hindsight - we can not come up with a single thing we could have wanted better or different.
Thanks a million to Meektrails - for this truly bonding family experience. Revisting Nairobi, national parks and Kenya after living here 1977-1980 was a great experience to share with the the original Mzee, my 3 brothers, a load of girlfriends and kids.
Oh yeah, and we saw all the wild life we could dream of, had great food, super nice accomodation and friendly staff everywhere.
What a privilege!

Spectacular, unforgettable experience with Ben
Our safari adventure, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and kind guide Ben, exceeded all expectations. Witnessing the majestic Big 5 in their natural habitat was a dream come true, with Ben ensuring we didn't miss a moment. The variety of activities, from exhilarating bicycle rides and serene boat safaris to intimate walking tours, added depth to our exploration of the wilderness.
The sunsets were spectacular, each evening sky a masterpiece. An immersive experience into the Masai culture enriched our journey, offering a glimpse into the traditions and lifestyles of the local communities.
Accommodations were top-notch, blending luxury with the natural beauty of our surroundings. Ben's flexibility and expertise shaped this into not just a safari, but a life-changing adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable experience.
