We had an amazing time in Kenya thanks to Meektrails!!
At the start of the trip, we coordinated with Daniel, the owner of Meektrails, to customize our itinerary. He was very extremely flexible and was communicative throughout the process. We wanted a 5-day tour for Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara, and Lake Nakuru within a reasonable budget, and Meektrails was the most responsive and flexible from all the safari tour companies we contacted! They booked really great hotels (including Sopa Lodge – the best safari hotel!) for the same price that other safari companies offer low-budget hotels. Daniel was available to answer all our questions about traveling to Kenya (even those unrelated to the safari) via WhatsApp before we arrived which was a comfort to us, since traveling to a new country can be stressful!
At the start of the trip, Phyllis, the manager, came to pick us from the hotel with our tour guide where we coordinated the payment. From that point onward we were with Jasan, our tour guide. One thing to mention was that our safari van was very clean, with an unlimited supply of drinking water – super necessary since drives are long!
We had an amazing time with Jasan – he was an incredible tour guide and we cannot recommend him enough. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single animal – from birds to mammals, he knew them all! He also carried with him pocket guides on animals which turned out to be great since we were able to read about the animals as we spotted them. He carried binoculars as well which was convenient – since sometimes animals would be far away in the safari. He was really great at navigating in the safari, he made sure that we spotted all the Big 5. And if there was any specific animal that we wanted to see, he made sure to keep a lookout for those as well. One thing that really stood out about Jasan was that he cared about the park’s cleanliness as well – we actually stopped to pick up a fallen hat in the middle of the track in Lake Naivasha. He also spent some time guiding some lost safari drivers – that’s how you knew he had a gem of a heart!
We highly recommend Jasan and Meektrails Safari! It was our first time in Kenya – and they made sure we had the best time ever!

Daudi is a very caring operator and did everything to make me feel comfortable
Daudi made me feel comfortable since the first contact. He organized everything as wished and made the trip very customizable. Communication was very good.
He also cared about me when I was in Tansania and helped me with getting around and cared about me. Can recommend Meijo Safaris to everyone. You will get a very good operator who really cares for his customers

Unique and memorable experience
We just finished our amazing safari trip with best driver ever Kikitu! We took 5 days trip with Masai Mara, Amboseli national parks and Naivasha lake.
Everything was perfect: hotels, food, animals, car.
We managed to see a lot of animals, especially we were impressed by big cats!
Our driver was very attentive and without him we wouldn’t be able to see all these animals and unique moments like lions eating the prey! He anticipated all moments and even after the heavy rain he managed to drive us safely.
Thank you for this unforgettable moments!!!

Safari went fantastic
Me and my wife took a private 5-day safari with lappet faced safaris and it went fantastic!
Our experience started with requesting a quote through this website. We received a response the same day with several options and all our questions answered.
Even though lappet faced safaris offer was more expensive than other quotes we received, we decided to accept it, and that was the right decision!
I was a little bit hesitant to deposit 10% in advance, but it also turned out to be ok.
We even had to reschedule the trip due to personal issues, and this was not a problem for the operator.
We received a list off all the requirements we needed to enter Tanzania including an invitation to apply for eVisa. Our director Francisco followed up regularly to make sure we have our paper work ready.
The safari itself went brilliant! Our guide Emanuel showed great knowledge about the wildlife and local culture. He was always in contact with other drivers in a park. We always arrived on a spot when there were only a few cars and we got the best view point. We really enjoyed game drives with him.
Our favourite park is of course Serengeti Nation Park. The coolest thing was to see the whole big five in one day, before noon.
We were lucky to see a black rhino crossing the road right in front of us, lions having zebra for breakfast, a leopard fending off his pray from a pack of hyenas and taking it on a tree, and a pride of lions playing with its with cubs. The next day we saw four cheetahs hunting an antilope. This was a fantastic end for our safari!
During the five days we stayed in awesome hotels and game camps. Each place offered great service and clean rooms with canopy over the bed. Each place offered other facilities like bars, swimming pools, massage and spa services. One advise I can offer is to bring a power plug adapter, since Tanzania has UK type power plugs.
Another concern we had before our trip was the food. However there was nothing to worry about! Each place we stayed in offered an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. Local and international cuisine.
After the safari we had a day free in Arusha. We ordered a one day Arusha tour at lappet faced safaris. We went to the masai market and orphanage center which lappet faced safaris support. This was another amazing experience delivered by lappet faced safaris
Now we have a ton of photos to go through with our family and friends, and we cannot stop advertising Tanzania and lappet faced safaris to them!
We are sure we will be heading to Africa again very soon!

A memorable safari
It was an awesome trip in Uganda as we spent four days exploring different attractions and most amazing were the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Fall National Park, which gave us a good sight of tree climbing lions in Ishasha, buffalo, elephants, hippo, different bird species and many other wild animals. This land locked country offers stunning scenery and she is a home of wide variety of primates including the charismatic chimpanzees in Kibale National Park. Moreover, we got the chance to see white rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
Our guides were friendly and very knowledgeable about each attraction which made our safari more breathtaking. Visiting Uganda was indeed a lifetime experience.
We look forward to booking with you for another vacation in future.

Brilliant and amazingly helpful. Best tour operator i have ever met.
It was the best and most amazing experience with no doubts. What made it even more amazing to me was the team operators Mr. daud and mr. Juma, very nice people and extremely helpful. Together we made unforgettable memories in the beautiful lands of Serengeti.
I recommend everyone to visit there at least once in their life and most definitely chose Mr daud’s team.

Knowledgeable, organized, fun!
My husband & I went on a 2 week trip around Uganda with Paradise Adventure Vacations and had an amazing time. Our driver Baker was very knowledgeable and kind, and they had all the details figured out for us to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Musa was very kind in answering all of our pre-trip questions, making sure we had good quality accommodations, and arranging our COVID tests.
Highlights were Murchison Falls NP, Kibale NP (chimpanzee trekking), Queen Elizabeth NP (lion tracking), Bwindi NP (gorilla trekking), Lake Bunyonyi, and Lake Mburo NP.

Amazing and outstanding tour operator, with high level of professionalism, and dertemination.
I visited Victoria Falls last year December with my family, all the vacation arrangements from accommodation, transfers and activities were handled by Cuckoo Safaris. The stuff was so amazing, very punctual and friendly. Simon our guide took us through a tour in the Mighty Victoria Falls Rainforest, explaining every detail concerning the seventh wonder of the world, i was shocked by the level of knowledge that he had. He gave us further recommendations of the most exciting adrenalin activities around the city, I couldn't thank him enough, the service was just outstanding. If you are planning on your next trip to Victoria Falls, Cuckoo Safaris is the way to go, they value their guest and their ĺevel of attention to detail is above maximum.
