Unforgettable Experience at Masai Mara with Meektrails Safari
Unforgettable experience with Meektrail Safaris. We did a 10 day trip in Kenya and Tanzania which included all day safaris at Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. All booking and co-ordination from India was handled by Meektrail safaris. The guide for the Kenya part of the trip was from Meektrails and the Tanzania half was handled by Serengeti Clarity. Meektrails Safari co-ordinated with Serengeti Clarity for the Tanzania part of the bookings. Our guide Gideon and the team met us when we landed in Nairobi airport. We made our way to the Zebra plains camp in Masai Mara via Land cruiser. The service was exceptional. Hassle free from booking from India and all communication online. Our experience was truly awesome. Saw loads of wildlife including giraffes, zebras, lions, leopards, rhinos, wilderbeasts, hyenas, ostriches, loads of birds. The wilder beast crossing was definitely the highlight of the trip and our guide Gideon was very knowledgeable and a great driver. Knew which points to take us to and kept us patiently waiting to catch the crossing which was well worth it. It was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend an African safari with them. Didn't need to bother about anything on the trip. Stayed in tent camps at each location. Our guide took us over to the Isebania border to cross over to Tanzania where we met our guide for the Tanzania part of the trip. Flew out of Arusha to Dar el salam and back to India. Highly recommend doing an African safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Meektrails Safari in Kenya and Serengeti Clarity in Tanzania

Very satisfied
I was very happy to spend 7 days of happy safari with our guide Lucas. Although the trip is tiring, it is an experience I have never had before, and I am very satisfied with the accommodation arrangement. I saw a lot of wild animals, and the guide also worked hard to help us find and introduce animals. The driving skills are also great. Anyway, it's an unforgettable trip.

Kenya Safari w Meektrail
We had a good Kenya tour with Meektrail.
Gadson was a good communicator and coordinator before the trip. He’s the reason i decided on going Kenya with Meektrail.
Aiyona Peter was our guide during the trip. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and each area. We saw and learnt plenty because of him.
Daniel and team also came to meet us during our arrival. They made us feel welcomed.
Overall, Meektrail tour will satisfy most people

Amazing 7 day safari to Kenya!
We had an amazing time on our safari in Kenya. Our guide, Anthony, was brilliant and became part of our family for the week. He was so knowledgeable about all of the animals and was able to answer our many questions! We felt really safe and well looked after throughout the trip. All of the accommodation was fantastic and the staff at each of our lodges were so kind and helpful. The combination of game drives, walks, boat trips and biking was perfect. We got to see the Big 5 and everything else we wanted to see. One of the highlights was seeing a leopard and her two cubs. The whole trip exceeded our expectations and we made some amazing memories that will last forever. Anthony really made it so special for us, we couldn't have asked for more!
Thanks to Daniel and William who met us at our hotel and for helping us to plan our adventure. Thanks also to Lucas who took us out for the day after our safari was over to visit the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre.
I would 100% recommend Meektrails and would book through them again without a doubt.

Sammie is the Man!
We were fortunate to have Sammie as our guide for just over a week. The man is a machine! He was always friendly, welcoming, punctual, kind and was a master on the Nairobi and Massai roads (some of which are insane).
Want to see lots of animals? Check. Want someone who knows the roads inside and out? He's your man. Animals mating every 5 minutes? Yep, saw that too.
Sammie takes a great deal of pride in himself and his guiding. He was funny, a wealth of knowledge, somewhat of a celebrity amongst his peers and without doubt made our safari spectacular.

Well curated with solid lodging and even better game drives; great experience
This was my second experience with Meektrails as a safari outfit. Being our second trip, we wanted to add a bit of variety over the prior trip and opted for a 10 day safari going from Samburu, to Ol Pejeta, to Masai Mara and finishing up the trip with a stop in Naivasha and Amboseli.
Each location was fantastic with incredibly friendly staff and accommodations, but ultimately it was all about the game drives and opportunities for wildlife viewings and that's where our guide/driver came in.
We had James for both of our trips and the guy has proven to be an absolute legend each time. He was happy to accommodate our schedules (as a wildlife photographer, I wanted a few earlier mornings to catch the sunrise/golden hour) and his ability to find and spot wildlife was unmatched. I left this trip with some of the best photos I've ever taken and it wouldn't have been possible without his skills both behind the wheel and what he was able to spot and see.
If you're thinking about picking a photography oriented safari, Meektrails is a great option. To see the type of wildlife viewing potential there is to be had on one of these safaris you can check out my website: www.simonmillerphotography.com where I have shots from both trips.
The only room for improvement I would say for Meektrails would be in communications leading up to the tour date. Just a quick check-in message or email to notify and confirm arrivals, etc as well as an updated or current copy of the itinerary would go a long way to reassure and stoke excitement/anticipation in clients .

Very professional, excellent staff and amazing overall experience
Amazing safari experience, transparent communication, excellent quality, and very friendly staff.
Valentine was very clear in our communications and supported in any adjustments we requested. She also managed to upgrade one of our hotels at no extra cost to us, which allowed us to see the Masai Mara from our bedroom and while having breakfast and dinner
Lucas (our guide) was fantastic. Not only did he do his job professionally, he also supported us on any other issues and requests we had. He clearly knows his way around the parks and we were able to see all big 5 with him (and many more!). We are truly thankful for having him us our guide and hope that this message reaches him.

Best experience ever
Our experience with Meektrails Safari was extraordinary, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. From the very beginning, their team showed immense kindness and support, making us feel surrounded by wonderful people from the initial trip planning at home to our arrival in the stunning landscapes of Kenya.
Pauline, our main contact at Meektrails Safari, and James, our guide, were exceptional throughout. They were not only incredibly accommodating but also warm and attentive to all our needs. Meektrails Safari truly embodies outstanding customer service. The organization of our 7-day safari was flawless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.
James, with his passion and enthusiasm, made the trip even more special. We instantly connected with him, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see every animal and visit every location we had dreamed of, all while enjoying every moment together, from early mornings to late evenings.
Pauline worked tirelessly to tailor the perfect itinerary, balancing our time and expectations seamlessly. We are deeply grateful for having met such remarkable people who made our journey possible. Without them, this incredible experience wouldn’t have been the same!

Unforgettable, excellent trip!
17-09-2024 - 2 person trip (couple)
We booked our private Kenya trip (12 days) with Meektrails and we can only recommend it!
The first part of our trip was the climb of Mount Kenya. We were accompanied by Elija's wonderful team who carried our backpacks all the way up and down, settled our tents, provided us with the best, freshly prepared food (they carried it up the mountain!) and learned us all secrets the mountain had for us. They were always ready for us, we could not have had a better experience.
Part two of our trip were a series of safaris with our guide Philippe. We had high expectations and they were only beaten. Philippe really has a passion for the animals and in every park we visited (Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha, Hell's gate, Amboselli), he showed us every corner and every animal the park had to offer. We realize we had a bit of luck to see all these animals, but we also felt like Philippe really knew where to wait for them and he had a good communication with other guides in the park, so we could catch up with them if they saw a specific animal. We do love animals ourselves and we came to discover as much animals as possible and to learn new facts about them. For us, it felt like the perfect match with our guide, he really shared his passion and told us so many interesting facts. It was always discussed at which hour we would meet in the morning and also during safari it was always asked if we were satisfied to go back to the hotel. We even had a game drive from 7am until 6pm because we (and also our guide) could not get enough of it. Every day we ended in a beautiful lodge where we could enjoy good food and a good night of sleep. In most lodges there was also a swimming pool to relax, although we did not want to make time to use those.
Our complete trip was arranged by Pauline, she was always ready for any questions we had. We had contact via WhatsApp. She even bought us train tickets to visit the coast after our meektrails trip because I could not book these tickets from home (only accepted payment M-Pesa, which I did not have). Also the transition between part 1 (mountain) and part 2 (safari) was smoothly, our mountain guide was in contact with our safari guide, so by the time we came out of the mountain, the minivan for our safari was waiting for us.
Maybe one last recommendation: we did the complete trip with a minivan and did not pay the extra fee for a landcruiser and we would recommend that! It was a comfortable car, the roof could be opened and we really had a good view.
