Meektrails made it Happen

Just coming back from a wonderful 10 day Safari: Amboseli, Ol Pajeta, Samburu, and Masai Mara. All I can say is WOW, we had the best tour guide/driver Gideon. He made sure we saw everything and more! Explained about the animals and birds, how they behave and live. He made it possible for us to see the big 5, the ugly 5 and we were able to see cheetahs eating the hunt of the day, leopards on trees and walking down the road, he new where to look and how to have the angle for the best pictures. Cannot leave without saying Waitiri Peris had the patient to take me thru the organizing process for more than a year, and made it happen. I am thankful to Meektrails for making this one of the most amazing experiences for my family. I truly recommend Meektrails for whomever is thinking on doing a Safari. They make it happen in the most kind and enjoyable way.

An unforgettable safari experience

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Meektrails Safaris! Everything was seamless from start to finish. Victor, our tour operator, planned every detail with so much care and truly tailored the itinerary to our needs. We felt completely looked after even before our trip began.Our guide, James, was simply wonderful. His knowledge about wildlife, nature, and Kenyan culture added so much depth to our safari. He shared fascinating facts throughout the journey, always made sure we were comfortable, and ensured we made the most out of every moment. His ability to spot animals was incredible - we saw so much thanks to his expertise! We will be forever grateful to him for making this safari such a special and unforgettable experience.We can only recommend Meektrails Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

PERIS

I'm writing this review even though we didn't ultimately hire Meektrails, not for any particular reason, but because we had to make a very difficult choice among three, excellent, local tour operators. (I won't be writing any reviews of the one we chose until after our trip next October/November.) PERIS is the reason you should contact Meektrails. No, not Paris the city. Peris the wonderful young woman who so skillfully and thoughtfully helped guide me through the planning of my lifelong dream: a safari to Kenya and Tanzania (and then on to Zanzibar like everybody else). Just a real joy to deal with (unfortunately, due to the time difference, email only). A real up-and-comer if I'm a good judge. If you are planning your trip-of-a-lifetime, you must contact Meektrails and ask for Peris. She will not let you down

Highly reccommend!

Taking our family of 6 to see Kenya was a dream come true! Meek Trails was fabulous to work with and we are grateful for the trip they planned for us! Very professional and allowed us to customize our trip. They were extremely accommodating to what we wanted to see! We were able to take a hot air balloon over Maasai Mara and they scheduled that for us too. Top tier experience.Our guide was Bernard Njinu and we all felt like we hit the jackpot! He was so kind and passionate about showing us Kenya. He shared his knowledge about the birds, different trees and of course all the animals. We were amazed at what all he knew! And he was also very deliberate to help us have the best trip possible, like trying to line up a sight line to get a picture in front of Mount Kilimanjaro. He taught us about coffee and tea, and even split a coffee berry to show us the coffee beans on the inside! Another plus, he was a great driver! We noticed his care repeatedly. Jinu made the trip especially memorable for all of us!Another note, the vehicle we rode in was new and so comfortable and spacious. You spend a lot of time in your safari vehicle and we were thankful that it was comfortable.We planned our trip online through email, and it was a lot to plan. They were very patient, helpful and accommodating. I would never hesitate to recommend Meek Trails for an African safari!

Trustworthy Experts with good Value

Trustworthy, Professional and Responsive Safari Tour operator. Meeks Arranged my private two week Safari through Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar and it came off without a hitch. Constant contact was helpful. Our guide Peter was phenomenal. He is the “Mayor of the Mara”, you should absolutely request him. His newer vehicle, driving skills, knowledge and personality made the trip for us. I assure you it makes a big difference. The newer Toyota V8 Land Cruiser has roll up side windows, not slide back-and-forth windows as in the old one and it’s a game changer. I recommend insisting on a vehicle with roll down passenger windows.. Of course, I had a trepidation wiring a large sums of $$ to a Kenya based Safari company, but thankfully, this is a legitimate trustworthy established operator. We saw so many animals, prides of lions and big five it became common place right outside the hotel gates in Maura and Serengeti. Some of our hotels were really beautiful. Good value.. The food in Kenya is highly influenced by Indian culture. In Tanzania it’s different more individually. Served all very nice. Wonderful friendly people everywhere. Zanzibar is a great visit. We loved the Zanzibar Queen Hotel and the Serena. The Zanzibar queen has three special cabins on the ocean that should not be very difficult to book sanding your toes. All in all it was a great trip with lots of value brought by Meeks. For an example. Ritz Carlton on the Mara during the Christmas time that we went was almost 4000 a night. So put that in perspective. That’s what it will cost to jump levels. This was solid, 4.5 star properties all the way. Use them without concern.. Highly recommended.

Superb safari

We couldn’t have had a better trip if we’d tried. From start to finish, the experience was great, William our tour operator showed exemplary service throughout. Even managed to secure us some meektrail hoodies!We were lucky enough to have Anthony as our tour guide. He created a bespoke experience for us based on what we wanted. He was willing to change itineraries and plans to make the most of the time we had. We even challenged him to see 40 individual lions as a joke and he ended up finding us 54!The accommodations was great, if anything the pictures don’t do them justice. The staff at Serena safari lodge in Masai deserve a special shout out for their friendliness.We just want to say a big thank you to everyone at meek trails for making our honeymoon a trip of a lifetime.Love Adam & Georgie

Liar Company No sense of contractual integrity—promised a refund, yet 20 days have passed without any refund.

Such an amazing adventure. We visited 3 parks in 8 days. Each park was amazing in it's own special way. The difference maker was our guide Onesmus! He was AMAZING. His knowledge of the areas, animals and plants was incredible. We visited Amboseli NP, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Samburu National Reserve. My wife and I took a private tour and it was worth the extra expense. Onesmus would stop and look at anything we wanted to see. (even small birds). He took us to see so many amazing animals. We had the time of our life! Thank you to William and Daniel as well for amazing customer service and professional communication thru the entire process. I can't recommend Meektrails enough.

We had the best time, once in a lifetime trip for a family of 4 with a 16 and 12 year old in tow. Got to see all that we could have wished to on our 7 day safari from Amboseli to Masai Mara.

Wow! Well done Meektrails and our INCREDIBLE guide Philip. 8 day safari (Amboseli, Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara) with airport transfers through Meektrails.The head office, Ester and Daniel, were excellent. Very accommodating and personalised a safari for our budget. Even some nice honeymoon touches. We chose slightly more budget, so we had (beautiful) accommodation just outside the parks (max 15 mins extra drive in morning, but you actually got to see more local culture and safari this way). All the hotels are vetted in person by Meektrails, so all of a great standard (we’ve stayed in the ritz-Carlton down to a garden shed). Amazing food, we ate everything on offer, zero tummy isssues. Very clean and fresh!We are British, and were reluctant to send a lot of Monday to a different country, thankfully, Meektrails accepted an online deposit and proof of flights as our intention to book, and we paid the rest when we arrived (on reflection - not needed - legitimate reliable company).Our guide, Philip, really made our holiday. Extremely knowledgable, saw the big 5 and so much more. He worked hard to get all the best vantage points for photos - lovely lovely guy. He accommodated everything we needed. Stopped whenever we wanted to stop (on the safari drives and transfers). Very friendly. Organized everything from breakfast/lunch/dinner, visits to Masai village visits, nice places to stop for food and a stretch between the reserves, optimum safari routes - Faultless.Like any safari trip with any safari company, always check your selected hotels, vehicles and travel times so you know what to expect. The negative reviews for Meektrails were down to people not understanding their booking vs their budget. We are exceptionally happy.Thanks a million!!Marty and Isabell
