Look no further for Safari!
So ... after having some issues with another safari tour company... asking 100$ extra after picking us up and on destinstion for 20mins.
Decided ... what is the rest of the tour going to be.
Scanned reviews .... came across one that really stood out.
Meek Trails. Emailed Daniel the owner and asked for a quote and iternary ideas.
Within an hour, he replied. With a reasonable budget and catered for all our wishes, of what we would like to do in Massai Mara .
Pick up was easy, reasonalably timed. Was greeted with huge smiles from Daniel and our guide James which he allocated personally to us for our trip.
Gave us souvenir safari hats (we really needed them, and wore the whole time).
Again after a brief discussion in the vechile, he was happy and so wete we about plans. He left and we proceeded within the extremely capable hands of James.
He discussed what the plan was a d what stops we would make... and if we wanted extra, no problem.
James is a very safe and friendly person to be left in his care.
James really shines, when you ask and interact with him.
He cares deeply about your experience.
After a short but sweet stop at the great rift valley. We came upon our accommodation, we were so lucky to even see wildlife which he was very quick to point out.
After a nice lazy couple of hours checking in, we went on our first game drive.
We were well watered, with a huge ice box of water just for us.
Daniel and James had completely handled the process of reserve tickets and accommodation, making it incredibly effortless and smooth.
Our game drive was incredible. Over 2 and half hours, james had used his unique instinctive knowledge where we would see the amazing wildlife. We left seeing hyena, Lion, buffalo, a herd of elephants, lots of giraffes, all types of antelope and so much more.
We had a very nice evening on return, and James picked us up the following morning early. Whilst constantly asking us if we were happy with the plans, he had suggested.
The second full day of game drives were out of this world. James was very adaptive, and always used his wondeful experience to position us for optimised viewing of the wildlife. Very often we found the landcrusisers following James instinct.
Here i want to say a point on 4x4 and landcrusiers. We found it a bit like.... my vechile is considerably better than yours....dont be fooled. We were in a combi van (Toyota Laci), with a huge sunroof.
We were able to have the tour completely bespoke just for us 2.
We navigated around the van so easily and had better visibility than most in a landcrusier , especially when sharing. James didnt even mind when my short ass needed on a couple of occasions to stand on the seats.
He even organised us a lunch picnic, where we had stunning views and laughed and reminised about what we had just enjoyed.
After a long day seeing incredible interactions. Leaving us feeling like we were in a live BBC documentary ( 4 lions were stalking a buffalo)...
Went to bed extremely perplexed and could not believe our luck.
Final day we made our way to lake naivasha.
Gorgeous drive, we arrived and got met with a great Guide for our lake tour.
Very unique and fulfulling experience. We saw lots of families of hippo. Including an incredible bank sunning of 8 hippos. Always felt safe and cared for.
Incredible amount of bird species, from a very knowledgeable guide.
After that we wandered how could this possibly get better.
We found so with our walking safari tour, again with another very enthusiastic guide. We were able to encounter very closely wild giraffes (inc. A baby of 2 months), and expectant mother.
Learning so much,we left so satsfied we had experienced the best of safari.... ps. We saw a leopard
We could not recommend Meek Trails enough. And if youre luck enough to get a perosnalised plan from Daniel and James as your guide. Snap it up!
There are not many like this team out there!
We opted for mid range and massively over delivered.
If you can... try stretch to mid range its sooooo worth it.
Thanks Daniel and James. We will never forget our experiences.

Reliable team of professionals!
Trip was amazing! I really enjoyed every minute of it. I sent tour request at around 8PM, got response from Daniel just in few minutes, quick call and by 0730am I started my trip. Phylis met me at reception right on time, we completed all formalities and trip started. James was my guide and he was very professional, accommodative and respectful. Was trying his best to find different animals and successfully did! Thanks again and will see you next time!

Amazing!
This was our family’s one of the favorite trip in our life! We stayed at Mara Simba lodge in Masai Mara, and had 2 days safari game and visit Masai village. Have three small kids and had found 4 out of 5 in our game drive. We even watched amazing scenes of fighting of lions and buffalos! our Guide James was very experienced so knew very well when and where to look. Lodge was very clean and nice. There is small river right by the lodge and there you can find hippos and crocodiles so kids really like watching them when we eat at the restaurant. I didn’t like the food though. Food was plain as well as the service. After Masai Mara, we went to Lake Nakuru to see Rhinos and flamingos and it was amazing! It was just a short visit on the way to Lake Naivasha and the entrance fee was very expensive but worth it. And best part of our trip was Lake Naivasha. We stayed in Sopa lodge, it was very nice, well kept very eco friendly. Food was great, service was perfect, and I would really like to visit again if I come back. Overall, Daniel organized our trip very well and comfortable! I really liked it!

The best kenya tour
We took a private tour for 14 days with a visit (Ambosely, Tsavo, Masay Mara, lakes, Sweet waters). We had a long choice between a jeep and a minibus, we settled on the second one. Despite the bad roads, the minibus was a good option with a profesional driver. Nice, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable guide was with us all the way. The hoteles were chosen according to our requirements and better than we expected. The itinerary was competently designed, with the necessary breaks in good hotels, allowed us to see the big five and did not get bored in 14 days. If desired on the way the guide will help buy fruit, souvenirs or furniture.

Committed to offering a good service
We had an excellent 4 days holiday trip to the Nakuru and Masai Mara National Parks. Meektrails provided the road trip itinerary which eventually turned out to be pleasant and well thought of. The choice of hotels and the tour vehicle was excellent.
The driver also understood the route and offered assistance and explanation when needed.
It was a pleasure working with Daniel and Simon (driver) through out the trip

Fantastic experience!
A friend had recommended Meektrails safari to us and we were super happy about how everything went. They were able to accommodate all our requests (timings, destinations and budget) in a very short notice and yet all went wonderfully. We also couldn’t be happier with our driver, who was very kind and taught us a lot about Kenya’s wild life. Totally recommend!!

Great Safari! Great Team!
We booked a safari spanning 5 days. The programme started with a pick-up in Nairobi. The first day we spent at SOPA lounge in Naivasha, followed by a day at Lake Nakuru. These two stops were perfect as we could get close to some of the animals (zebras, some antelopes, giraffes) during a walking safari and around the great hotel. At the lake we also took a boat ride where we could see a wide breath of different animals from numerous birds to hippos and crocodiles. All involved guides were very knowledgeable and showed us the animals in great detail. On our first game drive we also spotted some of the elusive rhinos. Following those stops we drove to Masai Mara. We were really lucky and got to see the big five during our week with the great guide James. We saw many different animals and James tailored the programme and the tour to our liking. He took a lot of time to answer the questions of our group (including two vets!), showed us animals that we were especially interested in and even gave us a political overview of the country and animal rights/protection in Kenya.
The tour was really great and I can only recommend it!
The company with Daniel at its head excelled beyond the tour. Even though the airline lost a suitcase they took over organizing everything and managed to somehow have my suitcase shipped to our location after only one day.
