7 perfect days
First of all: a big Thank You to the whole team of Meek Trails. From the first contact with Diana until the last drop off at the hotel in Nairobi everything was perfect.
Especially Philip: he was calm during driving, told us everything we should know about Africa, the animals, the plants and how to behave in Kenia.
Everyday we felt that he was not only doing his job very well, but he was really loving the nature, the big animals and the small ones, specially the moorhens.
He was patient, waited with us for the best moments, so we were very lucky to see all the animals we had hoped to see and were able to shoot beautiful photos.
We saw the Big 5, the Ugliest 5 and many others and many birds.
The days with Philip were full of seeing things and many laughters.
The chosen hotels were all beautiful, the meals very good.
At last: Thank you Meek Trails for that beautiful and unforgettable surprise at my birthday, when the whole team of the Zebra Camp and a Masai-Group were singing and dancing for me.
Diana and Philip: Asante sani - we will miss you!

A good safari agency
My wife and I were booked into the Kapama River Lodge by Gems of Africa. The lodge, its facilities and safaris were excellent.
As an agency, we had a problem with a flight that needed to be changed. After a few tos and fros, Gems solved the problem to my satisfaction, but I believe they could have solved it sooner.
Everything was perfect. We saw the Big 5
Everything was perfect. The two drivers from the airport, the 2 drivers for safari and the chef were very good. As for the safari, we saw the Big 5, and that was thanks to Samuel. He searched for the animals, and when we found them, he got us closer so we could have a better view. Whatever we asked for, he found it for us. Every day, he cleaned the car, helped us with our belongings, and explained everything about the animals and the parks. He was always smiling and definitely made the safari experience even more unique and perfect. Almachius was very helpful, we had excellent communication, and he assisted us in booking the safari with Meru Slopes. Asante Sana

An incredible experience
I had a fantastic time with a small group of friendly people and our incredible guide Rocky on the four day tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife we were seeing, and able to share many interesting facts and answer all of our questions, while remaining friendly and upbeat at all times. Amazingly, we saw all of the Big Five along with many other animals, including getting quite close to a lioness and her very young cubs at one point. This trip was very well organised, including pickup and drop off at my hotel in Arusha, camping gear provided, and excellent hot meals cooked fresh by the amazing Pius every day. I can’t recommend Suricata tours highly enough.

Awesome Safari
I did A LOT of research on safaris and safari companies and settled on Peafowl. Why? First, Damaris actually listened to what I was looking for and didn't offer some easy, off the shelf solution. She was extremely responsive and easy to work with.
Second, our guide Timothy was OUTSTANDING! He was responsive to our needs, had an eagle eye that spotted wildlife that was very difficult to see, and knew a lot about the animals and birds.
I highly recommend Peafowl.

Totally worth it!
I did a trip to the Vic Falls and 3 hours Game Drive and it was awesome! Especially as a solo female traveller I felt safe and secure at all times! Organizing was also totally easy as Stanza is really responsive and caring - thank you so much!
Excellent, affordable and enjoyable
The trip was good with experienced driver and I managed to see all the animals in the park.

Amazing trip toUganda with Matoke
In April this year, I had the most incredible solo one-week private trip to Uganda, organized by Matoke Tours, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional.
My guide, Mike, was absolutely amazing. He was not only knowledgeable about the local wildlife, history, and culture, but his passion for Uganda was evident in every conversation. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and attention to detail made my trip so much more enriching. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible.
The itinerary they put together for me was fantastic. We trekked through the stunning Kibale Forest for chimpanzee trekking, and the experience was truly unforgettable. Then, we headed to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for gorilla trekking—an experience that surpassed all expectations. Being up close with these incredible creatures in their natural habitat was nothing short of magical.
The accommodations were top-notch, and every lodge we stayed at was comfortable, welcoming, and offered amazing food. The meals were delicious and varied, catering to all dietary needs, and the views from the lodges were breathtaking.
Matoke Tours did an outstanding job organizing every detail of the trip, from the seamless logistics to the excellent customer service. They truly made my dream trip to Uganda a reality. If you're looking for a memorable, hassle-free African adventure, I highly recommend Matoke Tours. I can’t wait for my next trip with them!
