Great 10-day safari with Meektrails and Guide Joseph
5/5

My fiends, my daughter and I had great 10 days with our guide Joseph, starting from Amboseli, then Sweetwater, Samburu, Bogoria, and ending in Masai Mara.

During the game drive, we have not only see all kinds of herbivore but also see the rarely seen predators, lions, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles, hyenas, as well as our favorite ostriches and flamingos.

Our guide Joseph was great, perfect in driving skills, driving carefully and steadily all the time even if the condition of the roads are not good, which we call “African Massage”; and perfect in eyesight, seeing animals even far from us during the drive; and perfect in professional knowledge of animals, having us learn a lot new knowledge.

The lodges, camps and hotels we lived are mostly satisfactory, unless wifi and network doesn’t work well in every place. We understood and accepted though. Most of the food are good for us.

The weather is great, we were lucky enough to have everyday sunning for the whole 10 days.

It is really a worthy trip. I will strongly recommend Meektrails Safaris and Joseph to my friends.

Unforgettable Safari: Nature, Luxury, and Exceptional Service with Meektrails Safaris
5/5

We recently returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari trip in Kenya with Meektrails Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect.

Communication with our consultant Diana was exceptional. She was incredibly helpful, providing timely answers to all our questions and ensuring we were well-prepared for our adventure. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and we loved the bright orange water bottles and safari hats they gave us as presents.

The accommodations they booked for us were amazing—much better than the pictures they had sent us! We were consistently impressed with the quality and comfort of each place we stayed. Meektrails Safaris' presence and network in the parks were evident, as we saw their vehicles everywhere. Their network was even instrumental in helping my friend retrieve her teddy bear that she had forgotten at one of the national parks. We are very grateful for that!

A special shoutout to our guide, Antony, who has 26 years of experience as a safari tour guide. Antony was humorous, easy-going, and highly professional. His incredible ability to track animals without walkie-talkies, relying solely on his keen eyesight, was truly impressive. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five. Not only did we see rhino families up close, but we also spotted a rare leopard—something many of our friends who visited Kenya never experienced.

Overall, our time with Meektrails Safaris was outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience in Kenya!

Amazing Safari Trip with Meektrails Safaris
5/5

My recent safari with Meektrails Safaris in June was absolutely incredible. Over 7 days, my wife and I were amazed by the meticulous planning and expertise of the team. They curated our journey to showcase Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. We spent two nights at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, each location offering its own unique beauty and wildlife experiences. From observing majestic lions in Masai Mara to marveling at the colorful birdlife in Lake Nakuru and exploring the serene Hell's Gate Gorge in Lake Naivasha, every moment was filled with awe and discovery.

We were fortunate to have close encounters with the wildlife, though this may vary for others—it's like embarking on a photo hunt. It's important to note that while the chances of spotting animals are high, they are wild and unpredictable. This unpredictability added an extra thrill to our safari, reminding us of the true essence of wildlife in their natural habitat. Despite not seeing every species up close, this unpredictability made our adventure feel authentic and exhilarating.

A major highlight was encountering the renowned "Big Five" — lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos — across different parks. We also cherished discovering the "Ugly Five," which includes distinctive animals like the warthog and hyena, deepening our appreciation for Africa's rich biodiversity.

In Nairobi, our safari concluded with a visit to the Giraffe Center, where we interacted closely with these graceful creatures, adding a memorable cultural touch to our journey.

Our guide, Ben, played a pivotal role in the success of our safari. With over a decade of experience, Ben's expertise in animal behavior and knowledge of the parks ensured optimal wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.

Meektrails Safaris impressed us not only with their well-planned itinerary and knowledgeable guides but also with their commitment to our satisfaction. From booking to the safari's conclusion, their team, led by our contact person Paul, was responsive and accommodating, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.

Please prepare for hot days and chilly nights, along with bumpy roads during the safari. The adventure can be physically demanding, so consider planning an additional 2-3 days for relaxation afterward to recharge.

I wholeheartedly recommend Meektrails Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, Meektrails Safaris will exceed your expectations with their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for showcasing Kenya's natural beauty and wildlife.

In conclusion, Meektrails Safaris offers an exceptional safari experience that blends adventure, education, and unparalleled wildlife encounters. Thank you, Meektrails Safaris, for a journey that has left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. We are already looking forward to the day we can return and explore more of Kenya's remarkable wilderness with your team.

This Kenya tour with Meektrails was very enjoyable, the itinerary was very well organized
5/5

This Kenya tour with Meektrails was very enjoyable, the itinerary was very well organized and our local guide Sam was very experienced, we saw a lot of wild animals. The hotel was very satisfactory throughout. They offer very reasonable prices too! (We compared a lot of them and Meektrails was the cheapest and had the best hotel!)
Since it was our first time going to Kenya at first we had some worries, but in fact these worries were unnecessary, Meektrails is very reliable, our agent William helped us coordinate the whole process and did his best to help us solve the problem, if we go to Tanzania next time we would like to work with them again.

Perfectly tailored safari in Kenya!
5/5

We have just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime safari around Kenya, meticulously planned by Meektrails! We are so pleased with the service provided, for the instant communication before and during the trip, and for their attention to detail. We were really impressed with the accommodation we stayed in which felt exclusive and luxury. The highlight was our driver Sammy, who was very lovely, knowledgeable and who really looked after us, making sure to get us the best photo shots and making sure we were always comfortable. If we plan another safari we would definitely go with MEEKTRAILS again. Such a lovely company)!

A wonderful trip with guide Peter
5/5

This is an exciting journey in search of animals, and driver Peter takes great care of us 2 tourists. We spent 7 days in Kenya and our daily itinerary has been arranged properly. In terms of accommodation, there are several nights when it is a campsite and the nights can be relatively cold. There are self funded projects at the Hell's Gate and the Mara River. The Mara River guide will take the initiative to ask you for money and is not very friendly to us. Everything else is arranged very carefully. In the future, I will recommend it to friends!

Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended
5/5

Our Kenya Safari week was incredible, a truly lifelong memorable experience. Meektrails, in particular Pauline, were very easy to work with when booking and making arrangements for our trip. The information from the beginning was clear- and turned out to be accurate by the end too. Our driver/ guide/ travel companion Lucas truly helped make the experience amazing. He was thoughtful, helpful and informative.Yes, we were lucky enough to experience the Big 5, but we saw and experienced so much more and we never felt rushed- Lucas made sure of that. The accommodation was as the website showed- amazing. I would and have 100% recommend Meektrail Safaris to everyone- and to request Lucas. Thanks for a fantastic bucket list experience Meektrails Team.

Excellent in all areas
5/5

We did a 4 day 3 night safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru with 7 people. Daniel met us at Nairobi airport and we then drove to Masai Mara. Outstanding driver and guide Anthony. Excellent accommodations and Land Cruiser vehicle which was comfortable for 7 of us. Anthony was amazing, knowledgeable about animals and Kenya. Would recommend Meeks Trails highly!
