Absolutely amazing experience
In mid-September my friend and I did a private 5-day ultimate Kenya safari with Morningstar. Over our 5 days we travelled to 3 locations - Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. It was a lot of driving but well worth it because each location provided something different. What we didn’t see at one location we saw at one of the others. By the time we were done, we saw all of the big 5 plus lots of other amazing animals. Our favourite location for animal viewing was Masai Mara. So much to see. We also did a sunrise balloon ride here. Highly recommend that. We chose to stay in tented camps rather than hotel rooms which was a really good decision. Our favourite was The Cliff in Lake Nakuru. It was definitely a 5 star resort. Gourmet food and the “tent” was to die for.
Our guide, Alex, was absolutely amazing. With 10 years experience, he was very well connected and was in constant communication with friends and colleagues sharing information on where certain animals were so we wouldn’t miss seeing them. Thanks to this network we managed to see 5 different leopards on our last day!! Alex obviously likes what he does. He was right there with us taking pictures and videos, which he shared with us at the end of our tour.
I highly recommend Morningstar, and suggest you ask for Alex if you want to be well taken care of and ensure you get the best experience.

The birthplace of Safari
Kenya is the " eco-hub " of East Africa it has parks in arid regions where you can see animals adapted to dry conditions ( Oryx, gerenuk, Grevy Zebra, Reticulated giraffe ..etc) like Tsavo and Samburu, others in mountain forests where you can see Bongo, giant forest hog, and black leopards like the Aberdare NP, Amboseli with great views of mount Kilimanjaro is an elephant and birding heaven, and the Maasai Mara is the best national park in the world ( along with the adjoining Serengeti ). I visited in 2015 and 2024 and both safaris where fabulous.

Perfect safari experience with safe, caring and knowledgeable drivers/guides. Truly amazing!
Kapande and Samwel took care of our group of 10, making sure we arrived safe and sound at the Nyerere National Park. They are both highly experienced drivers and extremely knowledgable about the area. We loved the scenic road trip, the incredible sight of animals up close and the wonderful hospitality of the locals. Communication with Salumu was excellent and super flexible to accommodate all needs. We highly recommend Uwando Tours for a memorable Tanzania safari!

Highly recommend for a once-in-a-lifetime African safari experience
I recently had the pleasure of booking a once-in-a-lifetime African safari through Meektrails Safaris, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we reached out to inquire about safari options, Pauline was attentive, and eager to craft a tailored itinerary that fit our interests, budget, and timeline.
We wanted a mix of luxury lodges and authentic tented camps, with opportunities to see the Big Five, experience local culture, and relax at the end of the day. Pauline had created a perfect balance between adventure and comfort.
The guide cum driver Anthony during our safari was phenomenal. He was not only experts in wildlife spotting but also had deep knowledge of the ecosystems and the behaviors of animals. His ability to track elusive species like leopards and cheetahs was astonishing. He also prioritized ethical wildlife viewing, ensuring that we maintained a respectful distance from the animals and did not disturb their natural behaviors.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the wildlife. We saw everything from herds of elephants and prides of lions to rare sightings like black rhinos, wild cat & many birds. Even we saw the big 5 several times.
The accommodations provided by the agency exceeded our expectations. From luxury lodges nestled in the Masai Mara to intimate camp with the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro , each place had its unique charm. Some of the lodges offered breathtaking views, delicious meals, excellent service and an immersive experience in the heart of nature.
We were provided a 4*4 Land Cruiser for both of us which was comfortable enough. Every detail was taken care of. We felt safe and well-supported throughout the trip. Thanks to Pauline & Anthony!
Meektrails Safaris made our African safari a seamless and unforgettable adventure.
Their attention to detail, expert knowledge, and passion for Africa’s wildlife and landscapes truly set them apart. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a curated, stress-free, and deeply enriching safari experience. We’ll definitely be booking with them again for our next African adventure!

Splendid Experience
I just have to share my incredible experience with Tusafiri Africa Safaris during my trip from Australia in September 2020! It was truly an adventure I’ll never forget.
We started at Nairobi National Park, and right from the beginning, I was impressed. Our guide was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories that brought the wildlife to life.
The animal sightings were absolutely the highlight! We saw lions lounging, giraffes reaching for treetops, and even some shy rhinos. The backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline made for stunning photos, and I felt like I was in a nature documentary!
The value for money was fantastic. The trip included well-planned itineraries, comfortable transportation, and a small group size that made it feel personal. I genuinely felt like I got more than my money’s worth.
Reliability was also top-notch. Tusafiri Africa Safaris communicated clearly before the trip and ensured everything ran smoothly. I never felt rushed, and the attention to detail was evident throughout.
Overall, I can’t recommend Tusafiri Africa Safaris enough! If you’re coming from Australia or anywhere else, this is the perfect way to experience Kenya’s wildlife. Huge thanks to Tusafiri for an unforgettable trip filled with great value and reliability!

Serengeti smile is the best company for safari trip if you want things to go trip easily and fast.
The safari was great, we saw all animals that we wanted to see and also saw more specific things like lions trying to hunt other animals, elephants eating a entire tree.
Our tour guide Champion is the best tour guide you can choose. When we had a wish or intrest (like going to a local market or food place etc) he always granted our wishes and brought us to where we wanted. Especialy when we really wanted to go fishing, he planned a day over so we can go, he brought us to a wonderful place and communication was also easy with him. He is a good person and the best tour guide you can choose.

Quite friendly, professional, and affordable safari tour operators
Communications: smooth, always by WhatsApp, clear and effective
Service: really nice and professional (shout out to Mercy and Edwin) - both in person and by WhatsApp.
Value for money: affordable, and the conditions were good. The lodge we stayed was lovely despite being a budget one, and the same goes for the car - comfortable, although not a SUV.
Tour: Great. What you would typically expect from Amboseli, with me lots of Elephants, Zebras, Hipos, Giraffes, Lions, Chetas, etc.
