Great service
Pauline from Meektrails was very helpful when planning this trip, she answered all of our questions before we came to Kenya. John, our driver and guide, helped us see the big five and many more! Great!

Highly recommend!
First off, the team is quite professional. The driver arrived on time. The vehicle was in perfect condition complete with a red carpet
We were basically taken care of from start to finish making it easier for my friends and I to kick back and relax.
This is my second time with Meektrails and am happy I chose them again. You should too!

Memorable Safari saw 4 of Big 5 and saw River Crossing!
We had a lot of mixed feelings going to Kenya for the first time and both being females. Some online reviews with their bad experiences really made picking a right safari operator so much more difficult. We bit the bullet and went with Meektrails anyway. It has proven to be a very rewarding trip. We had a great guide (Gideon), he is gentle and patient, he is polite (with other vehicles) on the roads, we saw 4 of the big 5 and most importantly we saw the river crossing. Right from the beginning we had no problem communicating with Pauline for any enquiries, both Daniel and Pauline came to see us on the 1st day of the tour with a Meektrails safari hat for us. Unlimited drinking water provided, there's a cooler box and a 3pin plug in the safari jeep for charging your phone or camera. We were very happy with Kibo Safari Camp & Ziwa Bush Lodge. But Enchoro Wildlife Camp though was a little too rustic for us. The attached bathroom was dingy and poorly lit. And the water smells metallic, which makes brushing teeth and showering difficult. We also didn't enjoy the food at Enchoro. We felt that this camp shouldn't be packaged as Mid Range Accommodation. Apart from Enchoro all is good and we had a memorable time, thanks to the Meektrails team. Keep up the good work and please relook into repackaging Enchoro Wildlife Park into Budget Range Accommodation.

Amazing and professional and high quality service
My wife and I spent a five days safari tour organised by Meektrails that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We had an amazing time, were really close to lions and elephants, we saw the big five and much more. Simon, our tour guide was welcoming and great at finding animals for us to see and at explaining interesting details.
We loved all the hotels were we stayed, the Jeep experience was also fantastic considering the long distance between each safari park. We definitely recommend Meektrails to anyone looking for a quality experience safari.

Our guide, Tony, was there to greet us at our hotel in Nairobi (and Phyllis). Great communication by the team - we felt very welcomed! All of our questions were answered, and we were provided with everything we needed and more

An excellent company with great prices
I have spent countless hours comparing safari companies' 6 and 7-day safari offers and found Meektrails' to be the best value. They have only had positive reviews so I put my trust in them and I am happy I did. Communicating with Daniel was easy and he was flexible when I had to change the starting day and change the number of travellers from two to four. Our tour was midrange, however, two of the lodges we stayed at I would rather describe as luxurious. We spent 6 nights on the safari visiting Amboseli NP, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara NP. Our driver, James was friendly and helpful. He explained everything about the animals we saw and he was always happy to answer our million questions. We opted for the pop-up roof minivan (as it was significantly cheaper than the Jeep-type cars) and were absolutely happy with our choice. The van had no problem whatsoever on the roads and the four of us got plenty of space to stand up, move around and even stretch out on the long drives. Our visit fell at the beginning of the rainy season but we were lucky and it never rained during our drives and the roads were not muddy.
We were happy with the food at all the accommodations. Two places offered a buffet with many options (including vegetarian meals) and two offered a la carte dining. Drinks were extra including water.
The game drives exceeded my expectations. We saw hundreds of zebras, buffalos, wildebeests and different types of antelopes, more than a hundred elephants and dozens of ostriches and giraffes in the four parks. We spotted hyenas and cheetahs at Amboseli and Maasai Mara and had two great lion encounters in Maasai Mara - on one occasion the lions were just eating a freshly caught buffalo. At Nakuru, we saw both white and black rhinos although they were very far in the distance. At Lake Naivasha, we got very close to many hippos and had a boat tour on the lake spotting many more.
If I ever go back to Kenya or visit Tanzania, I will certainly book with Meektrails again!

Flexible, reasonably priced & reliable
From the first time I contacted Daniel about my requirements he was very flexible and he did his best to meet my requirements even I've customized a lot in the schedule, and during the trip, all of our requirements were precisely followed with ZERO hassle.
The trip was reasonably priced compared to many other Safari companies and the accommodations were very good.
Our tour guide was Tony, he is a very likable and friendly person, he did his best to give us the best view of all animals and we managed to see the big 5 indeed as well as many other animals. However, the only negative point was that Tony didn't initiate by explaining stuff about animals to us and we had to keep asking him whenever we needed to learn more about something.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the trip and would totally recommend booking with Meektrails Safaris

Don't hesitate to book with Meektrails - fantastic value for your money!
What a fantastic experience!
From the first connecting e.mail with Daniel until being dropped off for our return flight with a heartfelt hug from James, we were treated like VIPs.
I was wary about booking with an agency outwith my own country - no need to be - we paid much less and had the same or maybe better experience than if I'd booked from home.
My friend and I had James and a 9 seater van to ourselves for a 13 day Kenyan safari. James was friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and did his very best to find every possible animal. We saw them all!! His job was to keep us well looked after and happy and he certainly did that - and always with a smile too!
We opted for economical lodging and some were much nicer than we expected. Others were fine but you'd have the option to upgrade. Daniel stuck to our budget and we were thrilled with our trip. Hopefully this wasn't our last trip - if not, we'll be going with Meektrails again!
