Keep going!

Amazing Safari Trip with Meektrails Safaris
My recent safari with Meektrails Safaris in June was absolutely incredible. Over 7 days, my wife and I were amazed by the meticulous planning and expertise of the team. They curated our journey to showcase Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. We spent two nights at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, each location offering its own unique beauty and wildlife experiences. From observing majestic lions in Masai Mara to marveling at the colorful birdlife in Lake Nakuru and exploring the serene Hell's Gate Gorge in Lake Naivasha, every moment was filled with awe and discovery.
We were fortunate to have close encounters with the wildlife, though this may vary for others—it's like embarking on a photo hunt. It's important to note that while the chances of spotting animals are high, they are wild and unpredictable. This unpredictability added an extra thrill to our safari, reminding us of the true essence of wildlife in their natural habitat. Despite not seeing every species up close, this unpredictability made our adventure feel authentic and exhilarating.
A major highlight was encountering the renowned "Big Five" — lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos — across different parks. We also cherished discovering the "Ugly Five," which includes distinctive animals like the warthog and hyena, deepening our appreciation for Africa's rich biodiversity.
In Nairobi, our safari concluded with a visit to the Giraffe Center, where we interacted closely with these graceful creatures, adding a memorable cultural touch to our journey.
Our guide, Ben, played a pivotal role in the success of our safari. With over a decade of experience, Ben's expertise in animal behavior and knowledge of the parks ensured optimal wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Meektrails Safaris impressed us not only with their well-planned itinerary and knowledgeable guides but also with their commitment to our satisfaction. From booking to the safari's conclusion, their team, led by our contact person Paul, was responsive and accommodating, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.
Please prepare for hot days and chilly nights, along with bumpy roads during the safari. The adventure can be physically demanding, so consider planning an additional 2-3 days for relaxation afterward to recharge.
I wholeheartedly recommend Meektrails Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, Meektrails Safaris will exceed your expectations with their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for showcasing Kenya's natural beauty and wildlife.
In conclusion, Meektrails Safaris offers an exceptional safari experience that blends adventure, education, and unparalleled wildlife encounters. Thank you, Meektrails Safaris, for a journey that has left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. We are already looking forward to the day we can return and explore more of Kenya's remarkable wilderness with your team.

Superb safari from start to finish
We had an incredible safari with RO Scavenger. It’s a boutique operation owned and run by a former safari guide and his experience really showed. Silas was incredible to work with from the outset and tailored the safari to our every need, factoring in specific experiences we wanted and ensuring it all fitted within our budget.
We also had a superb guide called Edward who is super friendly and seemingly knows pretty much every other guide out there, which was useful for getting tip offs for rare sightings. He has years of experience and it showed. While other guides would be jostling for position, he’d sit back knowing where the animals would go to, ensuring we had front row seats for several incredible moments. We saw all the big five, had some very close encounters and got to see some truly unique animal behaviour experiences.
We had booked the safari for our honeymoon and it RO Scavenger organised several wonderful little touches everywhere we stayed. It was a truly memorable experience - and made all the better by the fabulous food and unending supply of wine, beers and snacks!

My 2nd trip with Nature Responsible Safari - and it won't be the last
I usually book my vacation well in advance. I booked this trip here at short notice to get a change from the European rainy weather ;-). The contact with the owner - Fransisca - was trustworthy and all questions were answered very quickly.
The trip took us from Tarangire NP via Lake Manyara to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide John has a lot of experience, patiently explained to us what we wanted to know and knew exactly when we needed to be where.
Once again Asante Sana to NRS

Clearly passionate about his work, the nature and the animals.
Had a great trip to Hwange National Park with Mike. The food and service was excellent, him and Bernard clearly had a lot of enthusiasm and passion for conservation, the animals, nature and they were very knowledgeable. Everything went smoothly from pick-up to drop-off and we weren't lacking anything. Was a great experience and I would book with Khangela safaris again.

A well-planed exciting tour
I booked a luxuary 7 day Kanya safari trip from Ramja Safaris which has a reasonable price compared to other options on safaribookings. The overall experience is very satisfying. From the very beginning, Steve helped me to customize the trip plan considering the hotel availability and our preferences. The communication through email and Wechat was smooth and effective. Steve greeted my family at the airport. He surprised me by speaking fluent Chinese. Then, the trip worked out just as planned. Our guide and driver Isaack was friendly and professional. We feel very comfortable and safe travelling him. He is knowledgeable about our curious questions, and well manage the trip according to the plan. Specially Isaack managed to avoid the impact to our trip due to the recent demostration in Kenya . The 4X4 land cruiser was very powerful to handle unpaved road situation in the parks. It was also very spacious to accommodate our 3-member family(actually it accomodates 7 people maximum). The hotels and the meals they offer meet our expectation. The hotels are both comfortable and unique which allowed us to see beautiful views and experience African culture. We see almost all important animals, inlcuidng many lions, rhinoes, buffalos, elephants... The most exciting moment throughout this trip was probably when we saw a pride of lions trying to hunt wildebeests.
