Spectacular wild life in Ruaha, helpful guide and relaxing atmosphere
We went on a three day/two night trip at Ruaha and really enjoyed the game drive with Michael! It was amazing how fast we were able to see so many different kinds of animals - we couldn't have imagined! Also we had the impression that Michael really loves the animals and nature, he had a lot of information for us and knew when and where to find the animals.
Special thanks again for helping us buying bus tickets in Iringa after the safari!
The accommodation in bandas and food was fine!

Excellent organisation in an unforgettable trip to Chobe and Okavango
Africa Uncovered Safaris deserves nothing less than a 5-star review for the exceptional experience they provided for us. From start to finish, this company showed reliability, professionalism, effectiveness, and ease of communication. We (me and my 22 year old daughter) did the Chobe & camp site in Okavango and we could not have had a better experience.
We were in the good hands of Muza and Norman, who ensured that our journey was not only safe but also unforgettable, who made us feel like we were exploring with old friends. Their availability was remarkable; whenever we had questions or needed assistance, they were there to provide guidance. Muza's deep knowledge of wildlife, history, and local culture enriched our safari in ways we couldn't have imagined. It felt like we were learning from the best in the field. The insights they shared allowed us to connect with the environment, animals, and the rich history and culture of the region.
Trustworthiness is a precious quality in the travel industry, and Africa Uncovered Safaris embodied it entirely. Since the very beginning, when I have a lot of questions from home, they always responded them quick and effectively and it gave me a lot of confidence, specially being two women, and without experience. I really appreciated it.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary safari experience and am grateful to the company, Muza and Norman for all the good care that they put on us.

Amazing & unforgettable
One of the best experiences in my life, everything was perfect. The itinerary of the safari, the animals we saw, the guide, the parks we visited, the hotels...

Excellent
The experience with Meektrails was great. Before booking the trip we had several whatsapp conversations with Paulin to choose the tour 100% to our liking. Once there we were picked up at the airport and spent the whole week with our Spanish speaking guide Michael. The hotels chosen were the same except for the first day when we were given a superior one due to lack of availability. We recommend Meektrails for their treatment, sincerity and management. Our guide Michael was very attentive and did not rest until he found as many animals as possible during the safari.
The tour is totally private, it was a couple tour with a vehicle for just the two of us.
Many thanks to Michael and Paulin.

They will go the extra mile
We went on the 7 day trip with a slight twist (no Lake Naivasha but an extra day at Maasai Mara).
What sold us to this operator was that they were very responsive, transparent about what was possible and what not, and had a competitive price. Pauline also helped us find the accommodations that best suited our needs (I recommend paying special attention to the reviews of the individual lodges).
Our driver John never tired and managed to find the big 5 and many more animals.
All in all great trip!

He is a good person
I had an amazing experience with Ramesa adventures. Their service was impeccable, and the attention to detail in planning my trip was evident. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, making my journey memorable and hassle-free. I highly recommend them for your travel needs!

Once a life time experience Safaris
We did a 4 night / 5 days private safari including Tarengire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Our guide was a fantastic guy called Justine. He was experienced, patient and helped us get the best out of our time. He has a knack of know where to be and where not to be to see the animals. We felt safe at all times with Justine. He even arranged a visit to a Maasai village, which we will never forget. We highly recommend him and Abroad to Tanzania Safaris
we topped all our expectations and were amazed how close we were able to get to the wildlife. This is genuinely a once in a life time experience.
We set this up with the Manager, Zephania, who patiently responded to all our request and questions. They are a truly skilled firm.

Outstanding vacation
I just recently returned from a 6 day safari in Tanzania. From the moment we landed to when we left the country they were there! Between airport transfers to the actual safari guide everything was well organized. We were a group of 5 of us so we had Iddi our driver from Kanje grand tours was absolutely amazing. We saw SO much and learned so much from him I highly recommend Kanje. Any questions we had he knew the answer to. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was so accommodating to us! My wife was sick for a day, and he came to check on us, was quite helpful in getting him back to health. I can't recommend Kanje grand tours enough!

Love, Care & Attention, we had the best time!
We traveled with the 2 of us on a private safari and our driver Sebastian was an amzing spotter and tour guide throughout the whole trip.
He picked us up straight from the airport then we met the tour operator Sillas shortly for breakfast & final payment before we headed on our journey. Have seen the big 5 already by Day 3 and lots of other animals and birds, just mesmerizing. As two women travelling through Kenya we felt very safe & welcomed. He even went out of his way to invite Ken a member of the Maasai Tribe to spend a whole day with us, tell us about his culture and have lunch in the bush with us with huge birds roaming around us waiting to get a share from our lunch boxes. For our last days on the beach he dropped us at a train station where we traveled 1st class to Mombasa where our kind driver Joseph was already waiting for us, who also picked us up again to drop us at the airport once our vacation came to an end. Just a great package overall.
Organization:
Silas has a very quick turn around time from quotation to connecting with us via whatsapp and arranging all the details.
He was flexible in incorporating a balloon safari, too. Only a few small hickups on the accomodation booking for our time on Diani beach and a pre-arranged massage which was included in our package upon arrival after the taxing safari ride. I would recommend after paying the 30% upfront to pay the rest in local currency once there as you can easily withdraw Kenyan schilling if you are not from an origin country that has USD.
Accomodations:
All accomodations picked were a great build up from family run to high class every following accomodation brought the customer experience level one stage up and kept us in awe. The staff in all accomodations was exceptionnal.
People:
Kenya as a travel destination is remarkable, the saying every Kenyan is a happy Kenyan i have experienced myself. In addition to their long working hours being resilient to fatigue while staying kind and friendly not only towards us but also towards each other was a great sight. Lots of take away's for me coming back home. Please remember to always have sufficient Schilling cash in your pocket for tipping the staff.
Our Tourguide:
I recommend Apodiformes to everyone wanting to have a transformative amazing experience in Kenya & please do ask for SEBASTIAN as your driver & tour guide as he made this journey absolutely unforgettable for us. He was well connected with other spotters and made sure we have seen from Leopards, Cheetas, Rhino close up's, Elephant herds, Lion prides in action to lots of Pumbas, Gazelles, Zebras, Wildbeast & Buffalos etc. Simply more than we could have imagined. We even discovered our love for birds as there is such a big variety.
Patient, knowledgeable, fun & caring he handled the situation when our car temporarily broke down very professionally & even stopped to help somebody else change a tire while we were watching the crocodiles in the water. Nice to see & observe and fully immerse into Kenya's every day life :)
5 stars for the tour organizer Silas, our driver in Mombasa Joseph & of course for our amazing tour guide during safari Sebastian!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Hope I can visit back someday
We had a 10 days trip in Kenya, visited all must go spots including Nairobi city tour, amposeli, masai mara, nakuru and navaisha. Regarding hotels booked, the price Meektrails offered is the best of all. This is one big reason we chose this agency. Another reason is Pauline. Pauline is our trip designer, she is very thoughtful and patient with us. Even add us through wechat, which may not be easy for her but really boost communication efficiency with chinese customers. She took care of SIM card, hot air balloon booking for us and answered detailed questions like vaccinations, money exchange very fast! She also helped with room exchange even it’s after her work hours. All in all, she’s awesome!
What’s more surprising, is our driver/guide, Patrick. He’s such a gentleman that he wouldn’t talk too much as he know Asians are shy and not talkative, but he also wouldn’t forget to share anything that’s necessary for us to know. On cultural, religion, nationality, especially on animals. His great eyesight helped us spot animals smoothly, we even saw the whole process of cheetah hunting.
I can talk more and more about these two awesome people, but after all, this is great experience that I recommended to all friends interested in visiting Africa. Hope they can continue delivering great services to more people and make people fall in love with Africa.
