Safe, responsive and always at your disposal
Embarked on a 4-day adventure with Maktrails Safari led by the incredible Sammy. From majestic elephants to giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and hyenas - it was a wildlife extravaganza! Sammy's expertise and Maktrails' seamless planning made this safari truly exceptional. Clean, safe lodging was an added bonus. A must for nature enthusiasts!

Fantastic experience fully reccomended
Genuinely a unforgettable trip.
Fantastic service from Daniel and his team. Communication was excellent throughout and nothing was too much to ask.
We did the 7 day safari in Nakaru, Navaisha, Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
The lodges were all comfortable and all equipped with WiFi with good food.
Would reccomend upgrading to Savora if budget allows as that was truly exceptional.
The biggest highlight of the trip was our guide James. He was incredibly friendly and literally had a 6th sense to where the animals would walk and go leading to close encounters with the animals and some amazing pictures.
If you are booking ask for James as he will truly make your trip special.
All in all in a 5 star trip and a company I'd reccomend to anyone!

Meek: reliable, adventurous and fun!
From start to finish, communication with MeekTrails was easy and Meek was very flexible in putting together an excellent 7-day safari program for us. Lodges and food were excellent. And our guide Anthony was not only a very skillful driver, he was also extremely knowledgeable on Kenyan culture, birds, plants and animals; knowing exactly where to go at what time and tweak the schedule accordingly. Anthony fulfilled on his promise of the Big Five, and we had good fun along the way!

They may change plans unexpectedly and without informing the clients.
We booked a ten day safari. The original program was changed without informing us and without our consent. The vehicle was downgraded without informing us. They also decreased the number of safari day to 9, leaving us one day without activities. This is especially bad since they erased from the program one day in the Masai Mara. We found out about all of this during the trip, not before. Communication was virtually non-existent.

Posted on Jan 8, 2024Many thanks for sharing this with other travelers, we take every review in a positive approach to help us get better, some negative will assist us in knowing how we can do to make it better for clients travelling with us now and in the future.
In Kenya we have 2 vehicles for safaris, 4 X 4 safari minivan and 4 X 4 safari land cruiser, it is important to know which you are booked even by asking for photos for the safari vehicle. The price between the two vehicles is considerably different.
I do not understand what you mean by your tour being cut short yet we dropped you guys at the airport on the same day you were booked for your flight home, you almost did not meet me because of time since you were rushing to board the flight. The flight itinerary was not changed, how could you have missed a day?
I agree about missing a game 1st night in Maasai Mara, I personally asked you what we could do about this since our parks had changed from 24 hour packages to 12 hour packages. I have many clients who have had this issue but we advised them to do something different on this evening to avoid paying a full days ticket that is only used for an hour or so and most picked my advise, you also picked this as there was no need to pay an extra ticket. Had I known you had an issue believe me we would have paid that extra ticket for you to make sure you spoke positive of us and our our beautiful country.
ALL IN ALL THIS WILL HELP US IMPROVE AND THANKS FOR SHARING.

Our tour operator John is very considerate, easy to communicate and beyond our exceptions.
John is the best! Very considerate. Easy to communicate. If you need any change or stops during you trip he would be very helpful arranging that. John is also very good at the game drive. He can smell the animal and take us to see all the big five. Very reliable tour guide. The service is excellent.

Flexible, reasonably priced & reliable
From the first time I contacted Daniel about my requirements he was very flexible and he did his best to meet my requirements even I've customized a lot in the schedule, and during the trip, all of our requirements were precisely followed with ZERO hassle.
The trip was reasonably priced compared to many other Safari companies and the accommodations were very good.
Our tour guide was Tony, he is a very likable and friendly person, he did his best to give us the best view of all animals and we managed to see the big 5 indeed as well as many other animals. However, the only negative point was that Tony didn't initiate by explaining stuff about animals to us and we had to keep asking him whenever we needed to learn more about something.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the trip and would totally recommend booking with Meektrails Safaris
