Unforgettable Safari: Nature, Luxury, and Exceptional Service with Meektrails Safaris
We recently returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari trip in Kenya with Meektrails Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect.
Communication with our consultant Diana was exceptional. She was incredibly helpful, providing timely answers to all our questions and ensuring we were well-prepared for our adventure. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and we loved the bright orange water bottles and safari hats they gave us as presents.
The accommodations they booked for us were amazing—much better than the pictures they had sent us! We were consistently impressed with the quality and comfort of each place we stayed. Meektrails Safaris' presence and network in the parks were evident, as we saw their vehicles everywhere. Their network was even instrumental in helping my friend retrieve her teddy bear that she had forgotten at one of the national parks. We are very grateful for that!
A special shoutout to our guide, Antony, who has 26 years of experience as a safari tour guide. Antony was humorous, easy-going, and highly professional. His incredible ability to track animals without walkie-talkies, relying solely on his keen eyesight, was truly impressive. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five. Not only did we see rhino families up close, but we also spotted a rare leopard—something many of our friends who visited Kenya never experienced.
Overall, our time with Meektrails Safaris was outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience in Kenya!

Great 10-day safari with Meektrails and Guide Joseph
My fiends, my daughter and I had great 10 days with our guide Joseph, starting from Amboseli, then Sweetwater, Samburu, Bogoria, and ending in Masai Mara.
During the game drive, we have not only see all kinds of herbivore but also see the rarely seen predators, lions, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles, hyenas, as well as our favorite ostriches and flamingos.
Our guide Joseph was great, perfect in driving skills, driving carefully and steadily all the time even if the condition of the roads are not good, which we call “African Massage”; and perfect in eyesight, seeing animals even far from us during the drive; and perfect in professional knowledge of animals, having us learn a lot new knowledge.
The lodges, camps and hotels we lived are mostly satisfactory, unless wifi and network doesn’t work well in every place. We understood and accepted though. Most of the food are good for us.
The weather is great, we were lucky enough to have everyday sunning for the whole 10 days.
It is really a worthy trip. I will strongly recommend Meektrails Safaris and Joseph to my friends.

TOP NOTCH!
First things first - Victor Kimotho - this is your dream tour planner. Helpful, quick response, kind, flexible. Mr. everything is possible. Thank you Victor.
We've had a wonderful 6 day safari (Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara) with Peter Anonya and Jim - skillful guides, with great knowledge about animals. Even if there's 25 Land Cruisers in the line, Peter will get you in the front row.
Safety, top quality, great time.
You've made it fun, thank you.

No one does it better than Meektrails Safari - they know what their clients want!
During the trip planning, our safari specialist - Meektrails would always have detailed conversations with my husband to understand our preferences and offer advice. Our preferences were amazingly captured just by merely whatsapp conversations which was convenient granting our hectic schedules and fast paced city life.
Both of us are seasoned travel experts, with almost 20 years of global travel industry experience. We have been all over the world, we didn't expect that we will get the bestest tour experience in Kenya.
We always travel smart - skills that are apt for seasoned specialist of the industry. So we know how to negotiate and how to plan itineraries. We know what to expect and we have insiders knowledge of how things go around. We know how to procure suppliers whom will give value to our dollars.
When we received the itinerary from Meektrails, I initially dismissed it as something I see everyday in my office and a mere document with empty promises. I never expected that a reasonably priced, tailored fit private Safari tour would have much to offer. (We have worked in the travel industry long enough and our exposures with MNCs, VVIPs etc. pegged our standards high and made us somewhat fussy).
However, when I actually sat down and read Meektrails itinerary - I was quite impressed. What's on their itinerary are exactly what we want and more! Their itinerary copy was succinct with the right amount of details and I never felt so excited. I have seen things in the industry, and an expert knows that a mundane thing (itinerary copy) with such attention to details speaks a lot about a company. It then awakened my curiosity.
I then started researching about Africa, Kenya etc. And I had to reach out to Meektrails separately (unbeknown to my husband) because I wanted to get into the Giraffe Manor. The replies I receive were always prompt and they were always pleasant to correspond with. They gave me honest information (no sugar coating, no false hope) and offered me the best solution.
Days before our trip they have reached out to us to remind us of our tour and told us of gifts awaiting us when we arrived. When we left, they checked back on us and verified if we have safely arrived home. During our trip, we
had the entire hotel crew taking care of us. From the hotel managers down to the waiter who is solely dedicated to serve our family and oh wait! there is even a personal Maasai warrior (armed with a spear) that ensures our safety in our tent. They will come promptly as soon as we leave our camp and they will patiently escort us - guiding our path with their torch light. In the current travel era, this level of white glove service is only for the ultra rich. Thanks to Meektrails, this type of ultra personal service is still alive.
We were honored to meet their humble CEO - Daniel, who is very humble and hands on. He is also very flexible. He acceded to our requests without judgement and offered his priceless time to accommodate us and made our trip memorable. It is no wonder that his staffs are well trained and well mannered. The welcome gifts are useful and practical too! Not to mention, they are of good quality materials.
The top notch caliber extends to their vehicles as well. At the airport when they met us, their uniquely and tastefully designed 4x4 jeep stood out.
Valentin, our tour advisor - knows her job pretty well, she is very consultative and friendly. James, our driver guide - is unassuming, gentleman, cautious, always ensuring safety and a professional - he is somebody we easily grew fond of (and we don't normally get attached to our guides).
The entire tour was greatly executed. Meektrails delivered exactly what they have written on the itinerary and MORE! They have even exceeded our expectations because they have surprised us in every stages of our journey specially towards the end of our trip.
When they say "they know what their clients want" - it isn't just a catchphrase, it is something that they deliver!
If you find yourself itching up to an optimal Safari escape, dreaming of hearing a thrilling whoop of a hyena at night or slept soundly drunk on fresh air ; experience your lifelong travel dream without breaking your bank or perhaps splurging a little or too much - Meektrails Safari is your go to guys. They have all the capabilities to be named GREAT as opposed to MEEK but then again, meekness is a virtue - most specially in the wild.
We have arrived to our home country two days ago and we are still nursing our Meektrails Safari hangover.
No one does it better than Meektrails Safari - they know what we want.
And that's the bottomline! :)

Meektrails staff are very responsive and absolutely want you to get the best experience possible.
For the most part the accommodations were very nice, communication was punctual and the parks were each amazing in their own way (of course we have our favorites: Amboseli and Lake Nakuru--make sure you get the hike around Crescent Island included). Get ready for a lot of time in the vehicle (though it has a pop-up roof for better viewing) both in getting to the park and then all day around the park. There are some breaks built in and the guides are sensitive to the needs of the travelers, but getting out hiking when there are lions (and other mega fauna) about is just not an option. The roads to some of the parks and inside the park are rigorous...these are not theme parks where everything is groomed and the "attractions" are waiting for you...be patient and just know that your driver wants you to have the best experience possible...communicate completely and be thorough with the guide when you get there b/c you don't know what you don't know until you have boots on the ground. Enjoy!

Reliable operator with solid team
We are tourists from China and we went for 8 days on great safari in May 2024. Our itinerary was tailor-made and flexible with Meektrails, which just made evrything amazing!!! The cousltant is Victor, he kindly replied all our questions by email, Whatsapp and Wechat. After we confirmed booking with Meektrails, Vcitor secured all the itinerary's details especially the accommodation.
Also highly recommend our guide/driver Eric, during our trip Eric told us lots of knowledge about animals. Eric is expert on searching animals with his hawk-eyes, although it's rain season, in Masai Mara Eric helped us find Bufflo, Lion,Elephant and Leopard!!!! In Nakuru Eric found both white and black Rhino!!!Besides we watched Lion vs Hyena in Nakuru which was unbelievable!!!
Anyway, 5 stars with Meektrails, definitely recommend and hope u all enjoy the adventure in Kenya.

A very reliable operator
I will definitely recommend Meektrails to my friends and you.
The Kenya flood happened during my trip in Kenya. Meektrails well managed the changes due to road damage to naivasha and recommend us to change another good & safe hotel due to the flood in masai mara. That makes me feel them very reliable.
Also, highly recommend my guild Gideon. He has very good knowledge on animals and history, also he has sharp eyes to find the animals. I really appreciate the detailed explanation during the trip, which helps me to understand the animal and history of beautiful Africa.

I highly recommend Meektrails & Jasan Warui for your safari
My wife, two teenage sons, and I had an incredible 6 day safari with Meektrails. It was a great value and jam packed with experiences built into the package. Be prepared to rough it!
Additionally, I can’t say enough about our personal driver/guide Jasan Warui. He’s an amazing guide, and even better person. He took very good care of us, and if you request him you won’t be sorry!

Falling in love with Africa
It was our first time in Africa and we would like to express our genuine gratitude to each and every person at Meektrails Safaris who made our first safari tour so memorable.
We had limited time to plan trip to Kenya and thanks to our tour consultant Eliud, it was enough to organize everything. He was very helpful and always timely addressed any questions we had while planning the tour. Eliud offered us different options and advised on what would be the best for us. Initially we had chosen 7-days safari tour but right before the start we asked to extend our stay at Maasai Mara and it was not a problem. Overall, the communication was very smooth and easy and we felt that Eliud was truly interested in making the tour enjoyable and convenient for us.
On top of that, we were lucky enough to have Michael as our driver and guide. Every game drive with him was a pleasure. Being experienced and knowledgeable guide he is also polite and nice person himself. From day one it was clear that he is passionate about what he is doing. Finding animals, explaining their behavior and way of living, drawing our attention to their distinctive features, advising on the best photo locations, etc. - he did all of these. He even had the book in the car which he used to address our most specific questions about animals. All in all, Michael provided so much useful information about Kenya and its wildlife making us fall in love with the nature of the country and forget about anything else for these 8 days. Moreover, knowing that animals are the most active in the morning and after the sunset we asked Michael to start our daily game drives as early as possible and he was fully supportive of this idea. He did his best to make sure we see the Big Five and more, constantly communicating with other tourist vehicles via radio and phone. It was also amazing that for the last day in Maasai Mara leopard was our only wish and thanks to Michael we were happy to see it!
One more thing to mention is accommodation. We were obsessed with the variety of African lodges that we had a chance to stay in. Everything was just perfect and very well organized!
We want to thank Meektrails Safaris for such an unforgettable experience and the best memories about our first safari tour.
