Our Kenya safari with Meektrails Safaris, my wife turned into one of the most disappointing trips we’ve ever taken. From day , nothing went as promised. Kenya’s wildlife is beautiful, but with the Meektrails wrong operator we choose, the magic disappears completely. We were picked up hours late with no apology, crammed into an old, noisy vehicle where the windows barely opened, making it almost impossible to take photos or even breathe comfortably in the heat. The so-called luxury lodge looked nothing like the pictures dirty rooms, broken showers, and food that tasted like it was thrown together without care. Game drives felt rushed and unplanned; the guide seemed bored, barely speaking, and only stopped when other jeeps had already spotted animals. We missed out on key sightings because of poor timing and lack of effort. Instead of the magical safari we’d dreamed of, we got frustration, wasted time, and a feeling that we were just another booking on their list. For the amount of money we paid, this experience felt like a complete rip-off. The itinerary promised full game drives, but in reality, we spent more time waiting at the lodge than exploring. Meals were repetitive and poorly prepared, and some lodge facilities didn’t match the descriptions given. The guide seemed disinterested, offering little information about the wildlife or the park, and often stopping only when other vehicles had already spotted something. We still saw a few animals, but the overall experience lacked the excitement, care, and professionalism we were hoping for. For such a dream destination, the trip felt rushed, underwhelming, and not worth the price we paid.
