Reviews
No words for how special this adventure was ❣️
Went to Kenia and OMG what an adventure! Hope I spell the names correct. Daniel (from Meektrail Safaris) arranged the planning. The communication was great (really fast and he did manage to adjust the program so it fits to our needs). At the airport we met Anthony. Our guide for the whole trip. We also met Daniel and we got an really nice hat to be ready for our adventure. Anthony is great. He knows a lot, makes sure we were good and we felt really safe (as two young womans). We felt so welcome! He also managed to get the luggage back after it missed the connecting flight.
About the safari itself. I don’t know what to say. Normally I do slow travelling and back to basic. This adventure was beyond all my expectations. We saw so many animals and it was so diverse. Like the northern light, you need to experience it. It is definitely worth it!!!

10/10 stars = once-in-a-lifetime-experience
We booked the following with Daniel: 5-Day Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara Budget (all inclusive, except soft drinks and alcoholic drinks). The accommodations were good, especially Fisherman's Camp we really liked, great location right on the lake, beautiful views. The program included all safari game drives, the boat tour and the walking safaris as well as food in the accommodations and as much water during the trips as you could drink. We have had breathtaking wildlife sightings and seen beautiful, lonely landscapes. Our guide Ben tried to make everything possible. He was friendly, helpful and attentive. He was also a careful, trustworthy and safe driver. Ben told us a lot about Kenya, the people, wildlife and nature. We have received a lot of interesting information. With Daniel himself, it was easy and straightforward to choose the right safari, discuss details and
and process the payment.
All in all a unique experience at a fair price. We can fully recommend Meektrails!!

Best safari memories you will never forget!
Having difficulty booking a safari in Kenya we somehow found Meektrails Safari online. Thank goodness we did as Daniel organized a 4-day Maasai Mara and lake Nakuru trip which included accommodation, all-inclusive meals, park fees and an experienced well-knowledgeable safari driver called John all at a great price. We could not have asked for a better professional experience.
John knew Maasai Mara national reserve as his home and knew all the best spots and areas to see the big 5 and other wild animals. We could ramble on and on describing all the features and story memories we will never forget about our experience with John.
Without any doubt, our recommendation is to go ahead with Meektrails Safari… It’s worth every penny spent. Thank you, John, for a great safari experience and Daniel for your wonderful service.

All expectations met or even exceeded - 6 stars out of 5 deserved
My girlfriend and I booked a 6-day Safari with Meektrails. We have first been picked up at the airport (at 4am in the morning) and directly began a program which was designed to perfectly fit our demands and interests. Our driver James was structured, well-prepared, punctual, a safe driver, a competent safari guide and overall a just very nice guy, who we got along with very well (despite him being a Manchester United supporter). We were able to see all members of the Big 5 multiple times and James showed us countless animals or beautiful spots within the country. Our accomodations have been very clean and sometimes even offered unexpected luxury. In general our expectations were constantly exceeded in terms of the outstanding organization, the cleanliness, the variety of the program, the friendliness of the people, the communication with Meektrails.
I cannot think of any better organization to plan your safari with and would highly recommend to do it with Meektrails. And just to add a personal note, I think the price should be much higher for what has been delivered.

Meektrails made this a trip of a lifetime.
This review is unfortunately delayed but based on a safari from June/July of 2022. After receiving five bids/proposals from various safari companies, my wife, teenage daughter, and I zeroed-in on Meektrails. I found Meektrails to fall in the midrange between the most and least expensive competitors. What made Meektrails stand out from the other companies was the responsiveness and expertise of their founder, Daniel Waruri. Daniel provided detailed responses to inquiries, and almost always responded to our questions within minutes. My family and I decided on booking a seven-day safari to Amboselli (AA Lodge), Sweetwaters (Serena Camp / Ol Pejeta Conservancy), Lake Naivasha (Sopa Resort), and the Maasai Mara (Zebra Plains). Our only adjustments from the original proposal substituted Lake Naivasha for Lake Nakuru and lodging at Zebra Plains at the Maasai Mara instead of AA Lodge. These adjustments were made quickly, and an updated proposal was sent immediately to us from Daniel.
For two days prior to the safari in Nairobi, we stayed at the Boma Nairobi and shared this information with Daniel. At the conclusion of our safari we needed to be dropped off at Nairobi International for a flight to Mombasa. Daniel offered to pick us up at the Boma and drop us off at the conclusion of the safari at the airport.
Our guide Eric was phenomenal. Not only did Eric coordinate with us on daily details and preferences, but he was also engaging, friendly and an informative host. Eric’s kindness punctuated a great trip and really made it a trip of a lifetime. We were in Kenya during the beginning activity associated with the annual animal migration. Based on this, we did not expect to see the great migration. However, Eric’s expertise came through and he managed to help us see some amazing aspects of the migration. Additionally, Eric’s skills led us to seeing the “Big Five.” Most of the Big Five we saw multiple times.
It is hard to think of our “favorite” part of the trip with animals and lodging. I should preface these thoughts with this important point; the focus of our trip was the animals and the setting. Not lodging or food. That said, some met our expectations, and some exceeded them. The AA Lodge in Amboselli was fine. The food was tasty, the beds comfortable, and the hot water was sufficient. Although the accommodations were basic, the staff was great and they had nightly Maasai cultural talks/dances. Sweetwaters: Serena Camp felt upscale. From the linens to the lodge and great food, it felt far more expensive than it was. The Sopa in Lake Naivasha was otherworldly. Giraffes, and zebras were everywhere! At one point we had nine zebras on our back porch. After dark, hippos were around, resulting in escorts to the lodge being needed, but they responded quickly and were fun to talk to. The best part of the Sopa was the food, perhaps the best of the trip. Zebra Plains in the Maasai Mara was well worth the upgrade and another highlight. The setting was the best part of the Sopa. Seeing the sun rise over a dozen giraffes walking past each morning was remarkable.
In summary, Daniel’s customer service was amazing, our guide Eric was a kind expert, and the name Meektrails goes a long way when checking in. Everyone knows Eric and Daniel! Thank you very much Eric and Daniel for a trip of a lifetime.

Great tour guide!
Our safari was out of another world. Kenya is a magical place and our tour guide really went out of his way to bring us closer to nature. He was very knowledgable about wildlife and knew exactly where to take us to see the big five. He was very attentive, kind and respectful. We had a great time, we recommed it 100%

Awesome experience
Meektrails tours was awesome. We went with the budget option and their selection was great. We had a 4x4 vehicle, we fell safe in James hands as he drove and get close to the animals. I like that safety was a great concern to him. I liked that they worked with my budget. I will recommend this company to anyone.
Daniel was an expert, professional and personable
If you are up for adventure and a true African safari experience this is the safari for you. We saw more wildlife than I ever expected. Daniel spoke with in depth knowledge. Also, I felt that he made sure to make sure all of our needs were met.
