Visa problem are no problem!
On my way from Cairo to Kenya I was having issues for a week with the online ETA visa application. The day before my flight a Saturday, I reached out to Felix for help. I messaged him at 8:30am and by 11:15am I had my approved ETA in my email!!!! Amazing service and a great experience!!! If you don't reach out for your ETA needs you may regret it.

Fantastic and great communication
The safari we did was 3 nights, 4 days. The company picked us up from the airport and took us to where we were staying. We booked a house because there were 5 of us. That evening, Angel and Elisabeth came to the house to explain to us the itinerary and collect the rest of the payment. Then the next day the company picked us up around 0800 to start the drive to the first location.
We did this route:
Day 1- Tarangire National Park
Day 2- Serengeti National Park
Day 3- Serengeti National Park
Day 4- Ngorongoro Crater
This route was perfect for us because we saw everything we wanted to see. We saw the Big 5 (Lions, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant, African Buffalo) plus so many more.
Night one we stayed at a lodge type place. I think we were supposed to stay in tents but for some reason we stayed in actual rooms with beds. This location also had some entertainment during dinner.
Night two we stayed in tents at a campsite in the Serengeti park.
-bring a flashlight/headlamp and bathroom tissue.
Night three we stayed in tents at a campsite on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim
-showers/toilets were much better. Only a couple showers each bathroom though (some toilet paper)
We had a chef who made our food every day. There were other groups that had box lunches, and I’m very glad we had the chef. The food was really good every day. Dennis was really great as the chef and checked in with us every day.
Both of our guides were amazing. We had Godfrey on day one and he really knew the park. The last three days we had William. He was also great and really let us get involved with telling him where to stop and for how long.
**If I had to do it again, I would have picked the mid-range option. You stay in a little bit nicer of accommodations. The tents were cool, glad we did it but wouldn't do it again (we are 37 and 39 years old). It was worth it for the money saved though.
**remember to bring USD ($$$) to tip the drivers and chefs. I am not sure how much they make from the companies who hire them, so tipping is very important for their livelihood. It’s recommended to tip $15-$25 per day, per person on the Safari (so $15 per day for the driver and $15 per day for the chef per person)
After the Safari was finished the driver took us back to the city. We had a flight out that evening so we had the company bring us to the airport for an extra fee. Our flight was really late (1150 pm) so we had plenty of time. Would not recommend a flight out of JRO any earlier than 830pm. If you do, let the driver know ahead of time.

The best operator in South Africa
I really enjoyed the excursion. We were picked up from the hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned bus. We saw many animals and savannah. We drove around the territory in an open jeep with a guide who told us everything in detail and knew the territory of the park. A small lunch was included in the excursion.

The best trip
I have been traveling back to China for a while. I miss my days in Tanzania. Sudi is very kind and friendly. He took us to many places and saw a lot of animals. I'm very happy that he and his favorite animals are giraffes. The time in Serengeti haunts my soul. I think that's my second hometown. I will go back again.

A Perfectly Organized Trip – Highly Recommend!
I recently traveled with Meektrail Safari, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Valentine was incredibly helpful in planning and organizing every detail of our trip. She was always swift to answer our questions and ensured that everything was very well arranged.
During our journey, we were accompanied by Ben, who was knowledgeable, professional, experienced, and friendly. He not only knew where the animals were, but also could put us in the best position to see them. His stories about the animals and the Kenya culture made the experience even more enjoyable. He went beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip.
From the accommodations to the activities, all exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Meektrail Safari to anyone looking for a well-organized and unforgettable safari experience.
Thank you again to Meektrail and Ben for making this trip so unique. I will definitely be booking with you again in the future!

Too notch safari experience!
This is my second safari with Kiboko and Dexter. 14 of us had an unforgettable Kenya safari experience in March. Visiting during this time was perfect – the weather was mild, the scenery was lush and green after the rains, and the wildlife was abundant with many baby animals.
Dexter and Charlie, our guides, were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He ensured every game drive was safe, smooth, and filled with memorable moments. They are top notch drivers, capable of handling all kinds of road situations!
We stayed at the Cliff at lake Nakuru and the Entim at the Mara river. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. The lodges and camps we stayed in were comfortable, clean, and offered stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. The staff were welcoming and attentive, adding a special touch to our experience.
Dexter helped to plan this trip from a year ago. With 14 people going, there are tons of details to track. He and his team have always got my back.

Motley crews were there in Kenya!! Great nature with mixture of cultures of participants
It was great experience for me any my wife to pay a visit to Kenya.
First and foremost, wild life was high above our expectation! Lions, cheetahs, and other animals behind bushes nearby!
Secondly, though the vans of budget tour were rumbling and people were to be fetched and released many times, we could meet again during the game safari across the vans, or at the accommodation at night. Chit-chatting with buddies were incredibly enjoyable. Different place, different culture.
To recap, the visit was totally different from my past experience to go to Europe, Asia, and America.
If you like to relish exotic taste, I definitely recommend Kenya.
