Magnificent Safari
We spent 10 extraordinary days with Pastory; he knows all the animals and doesn't hesitate to turn back and provide full explanations.
Thanks for a fantastic trip.

The perfect experience
We didn’t have a lot of time, and we had a teenager with us, so we needed an exciting and fun experience where we felt the full
Safari experience in only a few days. Safari Soles and our tour guide Abu made it all happen. He knew where and when to have the best animal sightings and we always were able to get incredibly close to everything. We were celebrating our 21 anniversary when we were there and when Abu found out he made it incredibly special with a gorgeous sunset experience, and a delicious cake at both Masek Lake Lodge and Safari Tanagire. When you are in a car all day with a stranger it’s great when they make it enjoyable and fun and know exactly when to entertain and guide us and when to let us just experience the beauty of everything. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Amazing Safari company that goes the extra mile and keeps everyone entertained and full of knowledge
We had a once in a lifetime expereince on Safari With Jessy from Suricata Safari Tours. Everything was well organised and professional from the first day until the last. Jessy worked tirelessly during long hours and enabled the group to have some incredible encounters with the wildlife. Jessy looked after the full group and we all had an amazing time.

Decent operator
We got lucky with this booking as our entire group was starting on the same day, doing the same tour, and all staying in the same lodge...we met many people who were delayed every morning because they were waiting for the other people at different lodges up to an hour away(a huge bummer as you miss an hour of the best wildlife viewing times) but our guide was amazing he really made our trip enjoyable(his name is Burton)

Perfect Safari with this company!
An unforgettable trip with Olitiko. Both Joseph—handling logistics and communication, always attentive and ready to answer any questions—and Abasi, our driver—with his driving, conversation, and jokes—were fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great Kenyan wildlife experience, but disappointing delivery from Meektrail
We recently completed a 10-day private safari organised by Meektrail, covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. Kenya itself was wonderful, and we had some unforgettable wildlife experiences, but our experience with Meektrail was unfortunately mixed.
Planning and communication before the trip were initially good. Meektrail adapted the itinerary following our feedback, and we agreed on three nights in Amboseli, two at Lake Nakuru and four in the Maasai Mara, with a private driver-guide and mid-range lodges.
Problems began on arrival, when we were told during the drive from the airport that our three-night stay at Amboseli Sopa Lodge had been changed. The first night would be at a different, noticeably more basic lodge. This was not communicated beforehand, no proper explanation was given, and no alternative was offered.
Our original guide then spent on the next few days a very and unacceptable amount of time on personal phone calls, including during game drives. We eventually raised this with him. To his credit, he apologised and explained that he was dealing with a difficult family situation. He was subsequently replaced partway through the safari due to a family bereavement, which we fully understood.
The biggest disappointment was in the Maasai Mara. Our itinerary specified full-day game drives with picnic lunches, but on our first two full days we were returned to Zebra Plains Lodge at around 12.45 pm and told, “See you tomorrow.” We therefore lost two afternoons of game viewing and had to spend part of our holiday contacting Meektrail to resolve an issue that should never have occurred.
We also had to remind Meektrail about the sundowner and special “unforgettable meal” promised for our 25th wedding anniversary. The sundowner felt improvised, while the special meal was simply the normal lodge buffet, although Doris at the lodge kindly decorated our table.
Zebra Plains Lodge was the weakest accommodation of our trip. Despite being marketed as a boutique luxury lodge with Mara views, our room was enclosed by vegetation and had no view. We also experienced poor cleanliness, questionable towels, smoke entering the tent, repeated voltage drops, weak Wi-Fi and, on our final day, no usable water pressure for a shower and despite the largest of the lodges we stayed, had the worst food offering and variety and was rather repetitive
In contrast, Ziwa Lodge at Lake Nakuru was excellent, with stylish rooms, very good cleanliness and a genuinely welcoming family atmosphere.
Finally, we were told that our Meektrail representative would meet us at the airport before departure, but this did not happen. Four days after returning home, we had still received no follow-up, despite Meektrail knowing about our concerns.
Kenya was fantastic, but Meektrail’s internal communication, attention to detail and delivery against the agreed itinerary were disappointing. Taken together, the issues left us with a sense that the company had under-delivered on its promises. Based on our experience, we would not use Meektrail again.
