Great 8 days in Kenya
Me and my mom spent great 8 days in Kenya with Meektrails Safaris.
The planning and communication before our arrival was smooth, Pauline was very responsive and provided answers to all my questions.
On the first day of Safari we were picked up from our hotel on the agreed time, greeted by Pauline, Daniel and our guide for the week - Anthony. Anthony made our safari experience great, he is a very positive person, provided us a lot of information about the plants and animals and made sure we see all the big 5 animals before the end of our tour.
The accommodation at Ziwa Bush Lodge can be highlighted as it felt luxurious, the rest of the lodges were fine as well for the mid-range category.
At the end of the safari we were dropped off at our hotel in Nairobi.
I can definitely recommend booking with Meektrails Safaris.

Can I rate six stars? Best experience ever.
Highly recommend Steve as our guide, he is very knowledgeable and always found animals in hidden places. Thanks to him we got best position for shooting Big Five, Ugly Five and many adorable antipopes and birds.
Pauline helped us in every details before we start the journey with clear itinerary, even with the ballon safari and Maasai trip.
We look forward to exploring Tanzania again with Meektrails ;)

Memorable Safari saw 4 of Big 5 and saw River Crossing!
We had a lot of mixed feelings going to Kenya for the first time and both being females. Some online reviews with their bad experiences really made picking a right safari operator so much more difficult. We bit the bullet and went with Meektrails anyway. It has proven to be a very rewarding trip. We had a great guide (Gideon), he is gentle and patient, he is polite (with other vehicles) on the roads, we saw 4 of the big 5 and most importantly we saw the river crossing. Right from the beginning we had no problem communicating with Pauline for any enquiries, both Daniel and Pauline came to see us on the 1st day of the tour with a Meektrails safari hat for us. Unlimited drinking water provided, there's a cooler box and a 3pin plug in the safari jeep for charging your phone or camera. We were very happy with Kibo Safari Camp & Ziwa Bush Lodge. But Enchoro Wildlife Camp though was a little too rustic for us. The attached bathroom was dingy and poorly lit. And the water smells metallic, which makes brushing teeth and showering difficult. We also didn't enjoy the food at Enchoro. We felt that this camp shouldn't be packaged as Mid Range Accommodation. Apart from Enchoro all is good and we had a memorable time, thanks to the Meektrails team. Keep up the good work and please relook into repackaging Enchoro Wildlife Park into Budget Range Accommodation.

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.

4-Tage Safari - ein atemberaubendes Erlebnis
Highly Recommended!!!
Last week we did an exceptionally amazing 4 day family trip with Meektrails safaris to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. Daniel is the owner of Meektrails safaris and is a particularly nice, professional and reliable guide. He consistently responded as quickly as possible to each of our questions and requests. As a result, we had a safari designed completely according to our wishes, including very nice accommodation that Daniel looked for and booked for us. Due to the targeted communication and Daniel's many years of safari experience, the payment negotiations and the trip planning were very uncomplicated and we had the best tailored safari in a variety of nature reserves that we could have imagined.
During the safari, Daniel always made sure that we were provided with sufficient water and enough toilet breaks, for example. He also gave us the opportunity to visit a Masai village, which we did with pleasure. In addition, Daniel was very entertaining and was able to give us a lot of information about the animals and the area because he himself is very interested in nature and animal welfare. And above all, he found very good spots from which we could observe the animals very well. We were lucky enough to see a variety of animals and natural spectacles.
It was an amazing experience for each of us.
To have such an amazing experience, we highly recommend going on a safari with Meektrails.

4-days Safari - a breathtaking experience
Highly recommended!!!
Last week we went on an outstanding 4-day family trip with Meektrails safaris in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. Daniel is the owner of meektrails safaris and is a very nice, professional and reliable guide. He responded as quickly as possible to every question and requirement we had. Thus we had a completely costumized safari including very nice accomodations chosen by Daniel. Based on the targeted communication and Daniels longterm safari experience the negotiation of the payment and the trip planning were very easy and resulted in the best safari trip we could imagine for us with diverse wildlife sanctuaries.
During the Safari Daniel provided an optimal care for the whole time, e.g. sufficient water supplies and toilet breaks. He also offered us the possibility to visit a Masai village, which we also enjoyed a lot. Moreover Daniel was very entertaining and provided us lots of information as he is very interested in nature and animal welfare by himself. He always found the best spots for the animal observations and we were very lucky to see a big variety of animals and superb natural spectacles.
It was a breathtaking experience for all of us.
We would always suggest to make travels with Meektrails safaris as one wants to have a stunning experience!

Fantastic Safari
We had an unforgettable safari in the company of James, our experienced and caring driver. We saw all the animals because James knows every corner of the Masai Mara park. We chose the average formula and we were very satisfied with the hotels and the food. the van was very comfortable and spacious. I recommend this safari agency.

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.
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!
Phyllis is quite charming and reliable
We had such a good time in Mombasa, thanks to Meektrail safaris. In a short time, they were able to organize something special that coincided with my mum's birthday. Phyllis went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time even going to the extent of picking and dropping us at our doorstep.
What stood out for me was their reliability, cost-effectiveness and personal touch. Looking forward to traveling with Meektrail safaris to another destination.
Keep up the good work Phyllis!
I highly recommend!
