5/5

I have used Meektrails 4 times to 3 different parks in kenya. I Highly recommend them. Dan was great!

He's an honest man with clear communication and sets realostic expectations. He's taken us to some of the most exclusive lodges in Kenya. Very knowledgeable when it comes to birds and the wild animals

The top value for dollar safari company that you can use!
5/5

I am pleased to file this report on my 4th safari with Daniel Waruri of Meektrails Safaris. Obviously, having booked multiple safaris with Daniel I have been very pleased with his services.

The first safari I was with Mr. Waruri he was sub-contracting with a different safari company but since has started his own company which specializes in safaris of a personalized nature.

The last three safaris I have taken with Daniel were ones specializing in bird watching. Daniel is an active birder and photographer in his own right and we have been to many parks and reserves on these excursions that he researched himself. During these trips his emphasis on the lodging is "value for dollar". It would be easy to schedule visits to all 5-star [and therefore more expensive] resorts and have clients be happy with the facilities. Mr. Waruri scouts places that are 'diamonds in the rough' resulting in substantial savings on the safaris without sacrificing quality.

As I write this I am planning my 5th and 6th safaris with Meektrails so I think that you can infer that I give this company and Mr. Waruri my wholehearted support.

A thrilling and exciting adventure.
5/5

the day started with a bang. As we had already arranged the time to start the wildest week of my trip to kenya. The safari was arranged by non other than daniel, the ceo of meektrails. With good price range any one loking for a budget safari can enjoy. The guide who was sent to pick us up, explained all the details with clarity,...(countinue). The guide was on time and we quickly made haste to start our journey. Masai mara was extrodinary. The first time we step into our lodge we knew that daniel made the right choice. Some lodges come with one bed while others too. Very affordable and very quiet. You are one with nature. No wifi just quietness. Even if you cant go one day with out your phone i doubt you will even need to pick up your phone while at the lodge. Its breath taking. For those who dont know animals, the days i spent in masai mara, the guide explained everything to us with so much detail. They also had experience since they knew where the animals hid and roamed. If you are lucky you will be able to see a lion. As an inexperience travel i didnt know what i was getting myself into. But with meektrails safari, i got to experence kenya like never before. 3 days is masai mara. Riding around the park waiting with excitement for the next animal you see. A budget lodge with incredible hospitality and freindly people. Not only do you see the animals daniel helped me get to know the locals by introducing them to us. we spoke to the masai, learned they custom and was enchanted by their splendiferous dance. At meek safari they go above and beyond. After masai mara we spent one day in amboseli. Just a stop over to mombasa. We were hoping for good weather to be able to be able to see mount kilimanjaro but the following day it was cloudy. There was nothing we could do about it other than drive to our final destination. During the drives, daniel is a very enthusiatic person, he is always ready to engange in a conversation and willing to get to know you better. On the drives between places he often gives us facts about the place we are in or the people, culture or animal that we see. After all the safari we chose yo relax in mombasa. The the white and blue city in kenya. The hotel we stayed in was also recommended by daniel and to our suprise he was not wrong. Daniel is an astounding tour guide. With good charisma and character. He seems to know all the hidden jems in kenya and anywhere he picks to take you know that there is going to be an adventure.

For 3 days we stayed in mombasa. It was humid and hot but had a sense of tranquility in the air that made you feel calm. Without daniel i would have never seen the hidden jems of mombasa. He took us to mamba village where you see crocodiles but also you get to taste one. A local delicacy in mombasa that you have to try. Very juicy and strechy makes me recall eating chicken. Our days in the hotel were splendid. The hotel had pool tables, pingpong, a bar an upstairs restaurant, spa and an enormous pool. anything you could think of was there. It was a trip to remember. Entering the city is easy but leaving is whats hard. With out daniel and meektrails safari, i woukd have never experienced this country's beauty, diversity and culture. For a mid-budget safari meektrails safari might be the answer you were searching for.

Meektrails safari is a wonderful company with great people working for the company, a lot of interesting people, people who are ready to help you understand what you see. From the animals and plants you see in Masai Mara to interesting facts about land and different mountains. Overall I would record this company for anyone who is interested to go on a safari.

5/5

We spent an amazing week with Meektrails Safaris and our guide Daniel in Amboseli, Naiwasha, Nakuru and Maasai Mara parks. Everything was well planed and organised. Our guide is a true professional, he showed us a lot of animals, including the Big Five, and told many interesting facts. We have always been among the first game-drivers to see interesting animals and scenes, such as cheetah’s hunting, and had the best views. We are very grateful and recommend the service.

The Perfect Trip
5/5

Before starting my teaching contract in Nairobi I wanted to discover the country. I found Meektrails Safari online, they were very efficient with their communication and seemed very well organized. The package they formulated for me was very well thought and left me sufficient flexibility to make the changes I wanted. I had a video call with the owner Daniel who made me feel very comfortable which was important as I was taking this trip solo. The payment link was straight forward and I was able to make my full payment transfer without any issues. Daniel offered to pick me up free of charge from the airport even though the trip was starting 3 days after my arrival gesture which I really appreciated as I am new to the country.
I have booked a 10 day Safari/beach trip with 7 nights safari and 3 on the coast. The package was on a full board basis and included all transfers and my return flight to Nairobi. I honestly was not sure what to expect and I am sincerely delighted to have made this trip. I can’t recommend Meektrails safari enough. Daniel the owner took me on the trip, I particularly appreciated his flexibility. He was very accommodating from the planning to the day-to-day execution. I found him to be very informative and conscientious and it was great to be amongst a keen photographer like him.
Now that I have started a teaching contract in Nairobi, I look forward to using Meektrails safari services again for future trips.

Phyllis is quite charming and reliable
5/5

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!
