Simply marvelous
From start to finish, communication with MeekTrails was easy and Meek was very flexible in putting together an excellent 6-day safari program for us ( family with two children) .Lodges and food were excellent. And our guide Sammy was the best skillful driver, and he extremely knowledgeable on Kenyan wildlife. Thanks a lot for this experience.

One of a kind!
So, we started the safari with not the best days as it was raining almost everyday. But we have the most wonderful experience ever! From the day we arrived, until the end. Eliud was the one who was handling us and it was such an easy communication. Replies very fast and always manages to respond asap. But then there's Sammy. Our tour guide. What an amazing guy and guide! He was just excellent and I can't imagine if other guides would be able to pull of what we have been through. It has been raining so bad in all the parks so we had gotten stuck a few times. One was very bad going to Masai Mara bec the river was almost impossible to cross but he managed to bring us safe and sound to our hotel. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals and he was doing all the best so we could see all the big and ugly 5. Unfortunately due to the bad weather, we couldn't manage to spot the Leopards. But we couldn't ask for me. Highlights were:
1. Seeing the amazing elephants in herds
2. Walking with the giraffe
3. Boating with the hippos
4. Biking hell's gate! wow!
5. Exploring Masai Mara
6. Our river road (due to heavy rains) crossing that was almost impossible but was made possible by Sammy, truly an adventure of a lifetime!
7. Picnic in Amboseli Park overlooking the whole park
Fave accommodation was Ziwa but all accommodations were wow! Zebra Plains were so nice with the view of the animals just in front every morning. Koponi Lodge was also very typical. Sentrim was also great with lots of food varieties.
Overall, 6/5! Our family loved it! Would absolutely recommend to families and friends!

They resolved whatever problem we encountered during our trip and did everything to please us and make it special.
THANK YOU!

Very good safari
We had a very good experience doing safari with Meektrails.
We fully recommend our guide Samwell who does his best to make the experience go as smoothly as possible.
We took a package including Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara, all three locations are very good.
The hotels were all excellent including the food, especially the Masai Mara one, however, the Nakuru one, even though is very good, is too remote.
Our advice would be to discuss all details prior to the safari to tailor the experience to your tastes, Meektrails Safaris are available to discuss/change any points as needed.
What we would do different:
- Take a Jeep not a minivan; even though it's more expensive, it's worth it seeing the time you spend in it and the quality of the roads.
- At Zebra lodge, for an extra fee, you can have a Savannah side lodge which has a view on the animals directly instead of a hillside lodge
- Be sure to go at a time where there are no chance of rain, we had a few hurdles due to unexpected rain for the season.
- Take more days in Masai Mara (we had 1 day/game drive)
Overall we highly recommend Meektrails and especially Samwell!
the +:
- Samwell our guide, who is very professional and kind
- Zebra lodge hotel in Masai Mara
the -:
- The Masai village visit was too rushed and very expensive (not included in the price)

highly recommended
Before coming to Kenya I read that your impression and safari success heavily depends on the guide, we were very lucky to Guideon from Meektrails Safaris as our reliable and caring guide, overall level of organization was very high and I would also recommend this tour operator.
Everything was well organized: the tour consultant, Victor, was very responsive and helpful, answering timely and gently all of our questions. We have got a free of charge sim card with internet that helped us to stay in touch with the family. We ordered a private car and it was very comfortable, always clean, water always available in the fridge of the car. All of the places where we stayed (we chose a medium level of comfort) had clean and nice bedrooms, tasty food and good wi-fi.
We paid 30% in advance to secure the booking, and it was assured that if something happens we could also get a full refund. Luckily, we were able to come and enjoy those 5 days of incredible safari.
We definitely recommend Meektrails Safaris as a reliable tour operator!

unforgettable week of vacation
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.

Fantastic family bonding safari with Meektrails
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!
