Fantastic operator with great communication
I really enjoyed my trip with meektrails. Daniel was very very good. He spent the time organising the trip around us and he made me feel at home the second we got to Kenya. Daniel really was great. The 4x4 van was so spacious and we enjoyed a while 10 days. We loved the mix of all the lodges and tents. It was well worth the money amd very cheap compared to alot of others. We really saw everything and went to the best places thanks to Daniel.

The tour operator shows great value for dollar and is very concerned with health and safety .
Daniel Waruri has been organizing great Kenyan safaris for us since 2017 and this, our 5th with Daniel and Meektrails was our best. He was able to mange our goals of seeing as many species of Kenyan birds as possible along with seeing the usual and unusual African big game. We are currently close to our goal of identifying 500 species of Kenyan birds plus have seen the African Big Five [even all in one day in the Masai Mara...certainly a trip highlight!] I heartily recommend Meektrails as great value for dollar. Currently I am in the process of planning a sixth safari with Meektrails in August with a group of friends from the US and Canada.

One of the best Experience I ever had
Daniel, my first words are of eternal gratitude for the excellent reception, done with great professionalism. About the tours it was a unique experience, all done with great care and dedication. The landscapes and animals are fantastic. Regarding my friend JAMES our guide, yes I have gained a great friend, I will take the memories of these days with him for the rest of my life.
Daniel you were our guardian angel, you made everything happen without any mishap. Our sincere thanks.

We had an amazing time in Kenya thanks to Meektrails!!
At the start of the trip, we coordinated with Daniel, the owner of Meektrails, to customize our itinerary. He was very extremely flexible and was communicative throughout the process. We wanted a 5-day tour for Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara, and Lake Nakuru within a reasonable budget, and Meektrails was the most responsive and flexible from all the safari tour companies we contacted! They booked really great hotels (including Sopa Lodge – the best safari hotel!) for the same price that other safari companies offer low-budget hotels. Daniel was available to answer all our questions about traveling to Kenya (even those unrelated to the safari) via WhatsApp before we arrived which was a comfort to us, since traveling to a new country can be stressful!
At the start of the trip, Phyllis, the manager, came to pick us from the hotel with our tour guide where we coordinated the payment. From that point onward we were with Jasan, our tour guide. One thing to mention was that our safari van was very clean, with an unlimited supply of drinking water – super necessary since drives are long!
We had an amazing time with Jasan – he was an incredible tour guide and we cannot recommend him enough. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single animal – from birds to mammals, he knew them all! He also carried with him pocket guides on animals which turned out to be great since we were able to read about the animals as we spotted them. He carried binoculars as well which was convenient – since sometimes animals would be far away in the safari. He was really great at navigating in the safari, he made sure that we spotted all the Big 5. And if there was any specific animal that we wanted to see, he made sure to keep a lookout for those as well. One thing that really stood out about Jasan was that he cared about the park’s cleanliness as well – we actually stopped to pick up a fallen hat in the middle of the track in Lake Naivasha. He also spent some time guiding some lost safari drivers – that’s how you knew he had a gem of a heart!
We highly recommend Jasan and Meektrails Safari! It was our first time in Kenya – and they made sure we had the best time ever!

Memorable Adventure - All BIG FIVE
Hallo zusammen,
Ich und meine Freundin, wir sind beide Mitte 20, sind im Januar 2022 nach Kenya gereist. Nachdem wir eine Woche in Mombasa verbracht haben, wollten wir noch eine Safari machen. Wir haben uns lange nach verschiedenen Angeboten umgesehen. Es gibt billigere Anbieter, keine Frage, aber wir hatten dafür anständige, fast schon luxiröse Unterkünfte. Wir waren insgesamt 5 Tage unterwegs, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha und Masai Mara. Die Natur und die wilden Tieren haben mich unglaublich beeindruckt. Unser toller Guide Jasan hat unglaublich viel gewusst über den Park die Tiere und das Land. Es hat einfach riesigen Spaß gemacht und ich werde mein Leben lang positiv daran zurückdenken!!!!. Wenn ich wieder eine Safari in Kenya unternehme, aufjedenfall mit Meektrails!
Me and my girlfriend, we are both in our mid-20s, went to Kenya in January 2022. After spending a week in Mombasa, we wanted to do another safari. We looked around for a long time for different offers. There are cheaper operators, no question, but we had decent, almost luxurious accommodation for it. We were on the road for a total of 5 days, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. I was incredibly impressed by the nature and the wild animals. Our great guide Jasan was very knowledgeable about the park, the animals and the land. It was just great fun and I will remember it positively for the rest of my life!!!!. If I go on safari in Kenya again, I will definitely go with Meektrails!

Expectations greatly exceeded! Fantastic value for the price.
Originally we had plans to travel to another country but due to Covid restrictions, we changed plans and decided on a trip to Kenya. Even though it was with short notice Daniel was able to plan a great customized 7 day safari trip for us seeing a variety of parks in Kenya. Communication with him was great and so fast to respond to questions and concerns. I believe because they are a small and newer safari company makes them better than the competition because they are so accommodating and try so hard to make the experience great by exerting extra efforts to see all the animals and birds possible. Although the company is young, the guides we went out with(Daniel & James) were very experienced and knowledgeable, having more than 10-15 years experience each giving such tours. Everything that was promised/agreed upon was fulfilled and this is a very good and rare attitude/quality to find in the travel industry.

Amazing safari
I have just come back from an amazing safari week with Meektrails. The organization was so good and locations booked by Daniel were too nice. Thank you for the guide Steve, he was very professional and has a good knowledges, it was interesting to learn about a lot of animals. I was traveling alone but I felt very safe with Meektrails family. It was also nice to meet Phyllis who comes to the hotel the first day to provide more details about the program and make sure everything is going well. So thank you all for this nice experience.

Daniel (Meektrails) is the best !
Daniel (Meekrails) is the best, we spent 1 week with him and he arranged everything. On safari in Massai Mara he knows how to spot animals like no other, nothing is too much for him. Always punctual to the appointment. You can ask Daniel whatever you want, he will do it with great pleasure.
We will go back in June 2022 and have already booked him, no one else for us, he gives you an unforgettable beautiful and safe holiday, we came into contact with him by reading the excellent reviews, so it was exciting for us to wait . We don't give much reviews, but this one is really recommend to people who travel to Kenya and want to book an unforgettable safari and much more....
