Great experience with Axis
We booked a four-day safari with Axis and had a wonderful time! We ran into a problem with our flights that caused us to miss the first day, but we contacted Asia, who always responded promptly to help us find a new solution. In the end, we decided to upgrade to a private tour by paying the difference, and it was an excellent choice. Our guide, Kel, was fantastic! With him, we managed to see so many animals and all of the Big 5 across the two parks (Masai Mara and Nakuru). He answered our countless questions and was always kind and accommodating with our requests. He gave us a 10/10 experience!! Plus, we had water available in the jeep, which turned out to be incredibly useful!
At Masai Mara, we stayed at the Sankare tented camp. It’s a bit basic (electricity is limited to a few hours a day), but if you adjust a little, it has everything you need to be comfortable (for example, there’s hot water all day). Almost all the staff are very welcoming and pleasant, and the food is great.
At Lake Nakuru, we stayed at the Buhara Hotel; here, too, the warm welcome from the staff makes all the difference. The rooms are small but modern, the food is delicious here as well, and there’s even a pool. Finally, the stop at Lake Naivasha includes some touristy activities like a walking safari, but we enjoyed them—and in any case, they’re optional. We don’t recommend the stop at the Masai village—which we didn’t like because it was a bit too touristy and not worth the price, considerino also the pressure if you decide to buy souvenirs (which you’re not forced to)—but this excursion is optional, Axis offers it as an option, which is still appreciated because some people might actually enjoy it more.
Overall, we recommend Axis for their prompt service, for the lodge/hotel accommodations considering the value for money, and above all for our guide Kel, whom we thank once again warmly! The tour can be paid for in cash or online by credit card, with a small 3.5% fee.

Super thoughtful and professional!
We absolutely loved our 3 day safari trip to Masai Mara with Antonio Safaris! Right from the start they were super helpful clarifying some of our questions and made us feel at ease.
Our guide John was part of the highlight of the trip!! He’s such a great guide (and driver!) and was always ready to answer all of our questions and adapt the plan to our requests, making sure we saw as many animals as possible.
We stayed at Enkorok Mara Camp where the staff was lovely and made their best to make us feel at home. The only issue was that sometimes the hot water would run out.

I think this travel agency responds very quickly. The planning is thorough and the execution is excellent. It's reassuring, as any unexpected issues can be promptly resolved.

More than a safari – an unforgettable journey through Kenya
We had an unforgettable two-week trip through Kenya with Meektrails Safaris, and from the very beginning Esther made the whole experience feel personal and perfectly tailored to us.
She put together a wonderful itinerary combining the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and the coast, as we wished. She listened carefully to what was important to us and found beautiful places to stay. Communication before and during the trip was always easy, warm and reliable.
And then there was Kim, our guide and driver, who became such an important part of our whole Kenya experience. His knowledge, his incredible eye for spotting animals, his patience and his calm way of doing things made every single game drive special. He showed us so much more than just the animals and always seemed to notice things long before we did. And somewhere along the way, his constant “pole pole” became one of the lasting memories of our trip. We could not have wished for a better guide.
What impressed us most was how well everything was taken care of even when things did not go according to plan. Our journey already started with a major flight delay and an unexpected night in Dubai, but Esther immediately adapted the arrangements in Kenya and stayed in contact with us throughout the trip. Later, when we experienced a very upsetting incident at one of the camps, Kim was there for us and helped us through a difficult situation. Knowing that we were not left alone when something went wrong meant a lot to us.
We also really appreciated all the small personal touches and the feeling that this was not simply a standard safari package. It became a journey we will remember for a very long time.
Thank you, Esther, for creating this journey for us, and thank you, Kim, for making our days on safari so unforgettable. We came home with countless memories, a serious case of Kenya longing – and already the idea that this probably wasn't our last trip with Meektrails. ❤️🇰🇪
Highly recommended!

Emmanuel was amazing
Accommodations were wonderful, food was good. We saw every animal on our list. Dress for extremely cold in morning to warm in afternoon! Carry toilet paper with you as most places do not provide. Travel is very dusty..masks and sunglasses will help. It was experience of a lifetime!

Good
We had a very good safari experience with Ndutu Green Explorers. Communication was responsive, our driver-guide Adrian was professional and helpful, and the team handled everything quickly whenever we needed assistance. The itinerary was well arranged and overall the trip was great value. Thank you to Tom and the whole team!
