All perfect!
5/5

We thank Meek Trails Safari and the whole team for the unforgettable experience! Pauline, professional, kind and meticulous, listened to our every request, advising us in the best possible way in defining the trip. Daniel (the owner of the agency) who together with Pauline welcomed us warmly at the airport, handing us over to the care of our driver Sami. We spent the entire holiday with him and he was an unparalleled travel companion, capable, professional, patient and extremely helpful.
We were in Kenya from 9 to 16 January, we spent unforgettable days thanks to the perfect organization of our Safari. No inconvenience or setbacks, all far exceeding our wildest expectations. First stop the Maasai Mara: we stayed at the Zebra Plains Mara Camp, a well-kept and intimate structure in the immediate vicinity of the park. We will never forget our beautiful and spacious tent overlooking the river: the terrace allowed us to enjoy the landscape and observe a hippopotamus preparing to enter the water. The exquisite food and the kindness of the staff made us feel at home. The visit to a Maasai village, their dances and the welcome received made these three days spent at the Maasai Mara even more special and exciting. The next stop was Lake Naivasha: the boat trip and the walk along the lake gave us close encounters with zebras, gazelles, giraffes, pelicans and many other species of birds. In the afternoon we reached Hell's Gate and admired this spectacular landscape, the rocky walls, the greenery and the animals that live there. The walk made us discover the suggestive and endless canyon that crosses the park. The night was spent at the Kongoni Lodge (simple accommodation and good food) and then we left to reach the Amboseli park. Upon arrival, with Kilimanjaro in the background and the myriad of animals that populate the park, we had the sensation of living in a documentary. We stayed at the Sentrim Amboseli Lodge for two nights. The Lodge is located not far from the park entrance, the tents are comfortable (too bad, there was no mosquito net here) and the food is excellent. It was very nice to enjoy the company of the many animals that live in the green areas of the structure. Last day, transfer to Nairobi for departure, needless to say that earthquake returned to Italy with the sickness of Africa. It is certain that for the next Safari we will turn to Meek Trails Safari!!!

Amazing tour, beautiful safari and accommodating guide
5/5

We had an amazing time on our safari with Meektrails. Peter was our driver/guide and he was the best - fun and had lots of insight about the animals and where to see them. We were able to design a unique tour based on the parks we wanted to see and Meektrails did a great job of organizing it for us, including nice/clean accommodations. Peter really went above and beyond to make our experience great. We had a wonderful time and couldn’t recommend Meektrails enough.

Spectacular, unforgettable experience with Ben
5/5

Our safari adventure, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and kind guide Ben, exceeded all expectations. Witnessing the majestic Big 5 in their natural habitat was a dream come true, with Ben ensuring we didn't miss a moment. The variety of activities, from exhilarating bicycle rides and serene boat safaris to intimate walking tours, added depth to our exploration of the wilderness.

The sunsets were spectacular, each evening sky a masterpiece. An immersive experience into the Masai culture enriched our journey, offering a glimpse into the traditions and lifestyles of the local communities.

Accommodations were top-notch, blending luxury with the natural beauty of our surroundings. Ben's flexibility and expertise shaped this into not just a safari, but a life-changing adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable experience.

Fantastic family bonding safari with Meektrails
5/5

Wow, just wow!

Our 13-people family enjoyed 8 day/7 nights safari in Masa Mara, Hells Gate, Mt. Longonot and Amboseli with Meektrails.

Wonderful Pauline helped with immaculate tour plannning that accomodated all our specific needs and wishes, whereafter guide &- drivers Nderitu and Steve delivered and took us through the experience of a lifetime.

Travelling with a 13 people group is a logistic challenge, but Nderitu and Steve were fun, knowledgeable, great company and fully flexible to a changing programme and helped to keep everyone happy.

Our safari was a horn of plenty and value for money was great. On hindsight - we can not come up with a single thing we could have wanted better or different.

Thanks a million to Meektrails - for this truly bonding family experience. Revisting Nairobi, national parks and Kenya after living here 1977-1980 was a great experience to share with the the original Mzee, my 3 brothers, a load of girlfriends and kids.

Oh yeah, and we saw all the wild life we could dream of, had great food, super nice accomodation and friendly staff everywhere.

What a privilege!

unforgettable week of vacation
5/5

We, a married couple from Kazakhstan, booked a private tour with Meektrails Safari, a 7-day program through the best parks in Kenya (Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, Masai Mara)
We were picked up from the hotel by Daniel, Victor and introduced to our guide-ranger-driver Samuel.
When booking a tour, I recommend asking for guide Samuel. He is a kind, well-mannered, tactful, cheerful person. You can see how much he loves animals and knows everything about them. Thanks to him, we saw so many unforgettable moments with animals and learned many stories and facts about them.
He is also an experienced driver, his driving is safe and the car was very comfortable. Bottled water was always available and replenished.

These 6 days flew by in one breath. The whole tour was very professionally organized, all the hotels were of excellent quality, which allowed us to take a break from the road and get enough sleep. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners were thought out, the food was always on time and delicious.

Many thanks to the company and our guide Samuel, this experience was unforgettable. Now we dream of visiting other parks in Kenya.
We recommend the company and wish you a wonderful safari.

A wonderful Safari journey in Kenya provided to my whole family, safari guide Gideon is excellent.
5/5

I'm so grateful that I finally chose Meektrails as safari company because several reasons:
- The service reps Pauline obtained all my requests and response with an agile attitude, such as whole family including two children need enough beds to ensure comfortable sleeping, arranged whole journey schedule catering for my flight time, very comfortable and impressive hotels, and stay longer days in major national parks to obtain sufficient safari experiences.
- Our 11 days safari guide Gideon is amazing. From the 1st day when I shared with him the safari target is not only capturing Africa big five, but also looking for those small ones and typical in east Africa, then he used his shape eyes and rich experiences to support whole family capture every animals he could see, and found the best viewpoint to take photos to record those beautiful animals and moments. Besides accurately located animals, Gideon also proactively shared lots of Kenya culture to us, I must say, those sharing information is a big surprise to the whole family that besides animals, we could learn more about Africa, Kenya and local culture. My two sons likes Gideon so much, because he always think about their request and adjust schedule with flexibility.
With 11 days, I should say our whole family treat Gideon as a good friend not only guide. We all treat this great journey as wonderful memory.
