An exceptional experience
Thank you Ghalib, a perfect and tailor-made organization. Very serious, passionate and very kind. Ghalib taught us a lot. He knows his job and the animals perfectly. He is patient and was able to answer all our questions.
We had an exceptional experience. He also ensures our safety throughout the safari. Thank you for sharing, for these exceptional moments that you only experience once and your good humor. Thanks to Mickael, the best driver 🙂 I recommend 1000%, don't hesitate to do a Safari with Ghalib, he's the best. See you soon for a next Safari ❤️

A wonderful Safari journey in Kenya provided to my whole family, safari guide Gideon is excellent.
I'm so grateful that I finally chose Meektrails as safari company because several reasons:
- The service reps Pauline obtained all my requests and response with an agile attitude, such as whole family including two children need enough beds to ensure comfortable sleeping, arranged whole journey schedule catering for my flight time, very comfortable and impressive hotels, and stay longer days in major national parks to obtain sufficient safari experiences.
- Our 11 days safari guide Gideon is amazing. From the 1st day when I shared with him the safari target is not only capturing Africa big five, but also looking for those small ones and typical in east Africa, then he used his shape eyes and rich experiences to support whole family capture every animals he could see, and found the best viewpoint to take photos to record those beautiful animals and moments. Besides accurately located animals, Gideon also proactively shared lots of Kenya culture to us, I must say, those sharing information is a big surprise to the whole family that besides animals, we could learn more about Africa, Kenya and local culture. My two sons likes Gideon so much, because he always think about their request and adjust schedule with flexibility.
With 11 days, I should say our whole family treat Gideon as a good friend not only guide. We all treat this great journey as wonderful memory.

Very good

Amazing
We asked three companies for an offer - and Morris replied immediately. The communication was always professional, quick answers and he explained everything to us. Morris even helped us out on questions not concerning the safari tour itself (like hotels in Mombasa and ETA questions).
We felt safe and well from the first communication on, so we decided to go with Balu.
The price for our 5 Days, mid-range, private tour was more than fair.
The hotels Morris recommended were really nice and we felt safe and home everywhere we went.
Our guide was Peter. Honestly I can’t tell in words how much we miss Peter already! It was so much fun exploring Kenya with him. We learned so so much and laughed so hard. One of the best times in our life - and that is really thanks to Peter.
We were so lucky to have him as our tour guide! I recommend him highly.
We went to Lake Navisha, then to Lake Nakuru. Peter knew everything, recommended a really cool boat trip to us and made the best time out of the first two days even though we were a bit tired and overwhelmed from the long journey on the plane. On the second day we drove to our final Safari destination. The Maasai Mara is a stunning peace of earth.
We spent two full days in the Maasai Mara and we had so much fun!
Even though we had a bit of a struggle with flooded streets after heavy rain, there was not one second we felt unsafe. Peter is honestly the best driver in the world and knows exactly which road/ way he can take and when to turn around. Also he is a walking lexicon - he can answer every question regarding the animals, the landscape, the culture.
On the first day we saw 4/5, just the leopard was missing. And it’s not so easy to find them. So Peters mission on Day 2 was “finding the leopard” - and if that guy is on a mission, you can be pretty sure that he will accomplish it!
And what should I say… of course we found a leopard.
Besides these amazing days in the car, spotting animals, we had so much fun and karaoke in the car with Peter.
Also the long drive back to Nairobi was just like a road trip of really good friends enjoying every moment together.
So… thank you Morris for organizing the whole tour and making things so easy for us. And thank you for choosing Peter as our guide. We found a friend!
And Peter - thank you for being you. You know how much we appreciate you and how happy we are that we met you!
Best days ever. Even the singing hahaha

BEST GUIDE EVER
Our guide, Nora was amazing! She was attentive to our physical needs, a great wildlife spotter, knowledgeable about Eastern African birds. She was very good at educating is about what we were seeing. She promoted sustainable tourism and respect for the wildlife. She is proud of her country and all it has to offer.
We learned there are only 10 female guides in Tanzania out of over 2000. She and the other female guides are working to empower young women to become professional guides. Nora free lances, so do request her!
Raja Tours was very good in designing the safari we wanted. The were flexible when out health required a hospital visit and adjustments to our itinerary. They let us add a day off to rest.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide
I recommend this tour operator if you want to have a once in a lifetime experience.
Lucas was very good, serviable and funny. The week we spent was one we will never forget.
We’ve seen a variation of animals, the guide went out his way so that the safari was worth it
Thanks again to Lucas !

Hospitable
It was such a great time! We charged the plan that we went to masai village on the first day and full day hame drive on second day.
Thanks to out best driver Edward we were able to see BIG5 in a day! He always check the radio and spot for the animals even for a rhino! He has so many knowledge not only for aminals but also masai culture, kenya culture too. After the game drive we went back to our hotel earlier because Edward thought it would rain soon. And he was right. Right after we went back, UT started raining. If we continue safari we would totally get soaked. I heard some of the other tours stuck in the mud and couldn't get out so they ended up staying in a car for a night. Thanks to our guide we didn't have to do that.
Anyway I really enjoyed a lot and it's worth going!

Knowledgeable, professional and personable!
We are repeat customers and have used Pierre and Margaret for all three of our trips to Africa - first time to South Africa, second to Botswana, Zimbabwe, and SA, third time to Tanzania and Kenya. We have been exceedingly happy with the itineraries they put together and the lodges where we have stayed. Transfers, internal flights and other arrangements have all gone smoothly. They are very responsive to questions and make every effort to ensure appropriate travel documentation and vaccinations are in place.
