My husband and I just did the six day Sopa loop Safari. We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and taken to Amboseli then to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. All three parks were uniquely beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We stayed 5 nights at three different Sopa lodges and we were very happy with all three lodges and the wonderful service we had there. If we could change one thing we would have liked an extra day on Lake Nakuru. We had one guide named Lucas who was with us every step of the way. Lucas made this experience so nice for us. He made sure he was there every morning at the lodge to pick us up on time. Lucas was very knowledgeable and patient. He went out of his way to make sure we got to see everything and get the perfect picture. He really wanted to make sure we were having the best experience and we were so appreciative. of that. We would love to come back again and bring the rest of the family. Just to be aware we did find out after if you are booking with a credit card it’s a 3.5 % service fee.

Meektrail organized a wonderful 8 days Safari with me, were very good to adapting and changing the itinerary, til it was the perfect tour, including some of the best parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Wonderful choice of camps and lodges, 9 seater new Land Cruiser, just for me. My guide Antony was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, but also a superb driver, what allowed us to do some stuff, that would not have been possible with a group safari :). I highly recommend them - all staff very friendly, always checking in with me, to secure that I got the most out of it.

We had an amazing safari in Masai Mara. Our tour guide, Julius, was great. He was very knowledgable and knew how to find all the animals. We managed to see 9 cheetahs (including one with kill) and too many lions, elephants, etc to count.Valentine at Meektrails was very helpful and quick to reply to any question via email or WhatsApp.You can pay by card through payment link or in person when you arrive. Just be sure to get newly minted USD if using as we had ones that were brand new but minted minted in 2006 and they are useless in Kenya. Easy to pay by card in the end even with 3.5% surcharge.

We had an incredible 10 day safari with George who made our experience unforgettable. We visited Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Samburu, Amboseli, Ol Pajeta and Tsavo East. We saw so many amazing animals and George was very knowledgeable, always sharing information about different species and their habitats. He always made sure we were well looked after and was able to have a good laugh with us. George was amazing at spotting the wildlife from a distance and always managed to get us a great view of animals we came across. Highly recommend.

An incredible experience with Meektrails, 10 days of safari seeing all the beautiful variety Kenya has to offer! Our guide George was a scholar and a gentleman. Tirelessly spotting animals even after 12 hours straight in the car! Always there with interesting information, looking after our every need and bringing fun and banter to our long journey around this stunning country. Communication with the team was fantastic from the start and plenty of help in planning our itinerary. Seemless. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Tanzania next...

Incredible 5-day adventure with an extremely experienced, attentive, and professional guide, Sammy, who has 25+ years of experience.We highly appreciated how communicative and efficient MeekTrails was in the booking experience, and especially appreciated how they tailored the trip to our needs, as we added a trip to the elephant orphanage in Nairobi and a hot air balloon ride in the Maasai Mara.Sammy was the best. Experiences, safe guide who took us to all the best viewpoints in the Maasai Mara, and we got incredibly lucky to see 44 lions and 6 cheetahs and countless other animals during the 3 days we spent in the Mara. The other days we went to Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, which were also amazing experiences.Sammy had so much knowledge about all the animals that we loved hearing. We were so impressed at his ability to spot rare animals from what seemed like miles away. And he kept us safe by spotting a lion during a lunch picnic in the bush and getting us and a nearby picnic group back into our vehicles :)Thank you MeekTrails for also upgrading us to the Lalashe hotel in the Maasai Mara, which was an absolutely luxurious experience that we won’t forget.Thank you!

Organised a 5-day safari itinerary with Meektrails and it was perfect, had the best time! Sammy our driver was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience amazing and unforgettable.We did Lake Naivasha, Hells Gate, Lake Nakuru & 2-full days of Masai Mara, along with a balloon safari and visit to the elephant orphanage in Nairobi on day 1. The accommodation organised by Meektrails was fantastic, along with the service throughout.Meektrails made a super itinerary for the trip personalised for us, and Sammy our driver really added to the experience with his amazing eyes in the Mara and Lake Nakuru. We saw lots of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffe and various other animals throughout our experience which was great.Overall a fantastically organised safari and would recommend Meektrails for all interested in Kenya safaris.

Be extremely cautious when booking. Charles was great to deal with and we were very excited for our trip and itinerary. Unfortunately on December 6, 2024 we needed to cancel our trip for January 2025. The contract specifically says “100% refund guarantee if you are unable to make it”.It’s been 5 weeks now of daily/weekly follow up and I have not received a refund. I was told the refund would take 3-7 business days. Ive been told the refund has been processed 4 different times but no money has been returned to me.When I left a google review of my experience (after waiting for a month), I am being harassed daily to take it down. I did inform Daniel that I would be happy to update my review once I see my refund.In lieu of my refund, instead, I am now receiving unprofessional, disrespectful messages from the owner Daniel because I am following up on my refund.Buyer beware.

My family and I visited Kenya for 9 days over the holiday period. Our itinerary included a day in Nairobi, and then the national parks of Amboseli, Naivasha, Elementaita, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Since making initial contact with Meektrails, the process could not have been smoother. Charles built us an itinerary based on our preferences, and quoted for various options of accommodation and vehicle class. He was easy to contact over email and WhatsApp (where the majority of our communication took place) and happily amended the itinerary, dates and number of people multiple times until it suited us perfectly. He made enquiries of specific dietary/mobility requirements and passed this information on to the lodges. At various intervals before the trip, Charles sent reminders of requirements, eg, visa application, vaccinations.On arrival, we were greeted by the Meektrails team and introduced to our driver-guide Bernard Njinu. With 25 years experience, he demonstrated vast in-depth knowledge of animal and bird habits- and helped us spot and identify 112 species of birds and 34 species of mammals (including the big 5) and reptiles. We were in particular impressed with his bird knowledge - he was able to spot and identify various species from a distance, from imposing storks and endangered vultures to skulking pipits and longclaws and plovers. Seeing the whydahs and widow birds were a particular highlight. Even experienced twitchers won't be disappointed.Njinu (pronounced without the N) was forthcoming with knowledge about all aspects of the area- geological, historical and cultural. He was extremely professional, friendly, approachable and took great care of us- he brought along a two-step stool to aid my mum with weak knees climb in and out of the vehicle; and planned in frequent comfort breaks for my dad who has diabetes. Njinu was very patient through the game drives and was invested in making sure we got the most out of our time in Kenya.The trip itself was exactly as planned, with no corners cut, no hidden costs (note that tips are standard practice and not included in your quote- I recommended you account for this in advance). The vehicle was comfortable and very fit for purpose. All accommodation including hotels, tented camps and lodges was exactly as advertised/ expected at great locations in or very close to the national parks. Food was good, rooms comfortable, but the hospitality and service were what took our stay to the next level.Now back from holiday, my family agree that this was hands-down one of the best holidays/experiences of our lives. The country of Kenya with its incredible wildlife, landscapes, culture and people has touched our hearts - and Meektrails made it all accessible in the most painless and enjoyable way possible. If you are considering a trip to Kenya or east Africa, I highly recommend Meektrails Safaris for your adventure.

Our family of four, including two kids had an incredible 5-day safari in Kenya, thanks to the fantastic team at MEEKTRAILS SAFARIS. Right from the start, the communication with Valentine Ngatha was seamless. She was extremely helpful and responsive, ensuring all our queries were addressed and our itinerary was perfectly planned.The accommodations were top-notch, offering a great balance of comfort and a close-to-nature feel. The food was delicious, with plenty of options that suited both adults and kids in our Indian family.However, at one of our stays in Masai Mara, the generator was turned off between 1 am and 4 am, which was a minor inconvenience.Our guide, Mr. Onesmus, was the star of the trip. His exceptional wildlife knowledge, patience with our kids, and ability to spot animals made every game drive unforgettable. We saw the Big Five and so much more, making the experience truly special.The entire trip was well-organized, stress-free, and filled with lifelong memories. We highly recommend MEEKTRAILS SAFARIS for an authentic and hassle-free safari in Kenya!

We started out our tour with a missing reservation for the first two nights. Also our reservation for the last two nights haven't been made, even though I have gotten confirmation from Meektrails several times that the reservations for the hotel was made. Due to the missing reservations we had to spent the first two nights at another hotel, we were lucky to get a room at yhe planned hotel for the last two nights. Due to the situation our guide started with a challenge and he handled the situation really well. Our guide was throughout the hole tour very nice and professional, and had a lot of knowledge about the different animals we saw.

We went for an amazing and memorable 8-day safari exploring Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara in Kenya. During the booking process, the Meektrails Safari agent (Peris Kinyua) has been constantly kind and professional, giving us amazing suggestions and tailoring all the aspects of the safari according to our needs. They proposed very cozy, clean and perfectly-located accommodations having all the amenities and very good food. Moreover, Peris has been always in contact with us during the safari to check that everything was smooth and fine. The new, clean and spacious vehicle has everything what you need (wifi, water, plugs, etc.)!Samuel (Sammy) has been our incredible and tireless driver for the safari….we simply loved him! No words can really describe his deep experience and passion for his work. In the game drives, he has provided many details on the animals and nature and answered all our questions. During our safari, we had the chance to meet other Meektrails Safari drivers (e.g. Joseph) who are are really kind and always smiling.We had an experience we will never forget, and surely we will contact Meektrails Safari for other trips.

We did a 6 day private Kenya safari with Meektrails with a dedicated guide and driver George. We covered Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Amboseli. Overall we were very happy with the tour. Our guide George was superb both in terms of attitude and his encyclopaedic knowledge of animals and birds. He knew exactly where to go in all the parks to sight animals including Rhinos in Nakuru and Cheetahs and Lions in Masai Mara. Thank you Meek trails

We scheduled our trip through Eluid who was very accommodating and easy to work with. Our driver was Ben who was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the history of the different parks we visited. Communication was very easy and he made us feel very comfortable and safe throughout our entire trip. I highly recommend Meektrails, Eluid and Ben to anyone when planning to rake a safari trip.

We did the 6 day safari with Meektrails to Amboselli, Nakuru and Massai Mara. Charles from Meektrails was so responsive in all the planning for the trip and guiding us on visas. The safari itself was wonderful with Philip as our guide and driver. He was so kind and knowledgeable and was a very safe driver considering the difficult road conditions. Tourists should be aware that the driving time can be longer than expected in the brochures as the rain can damage the roads or due to traffic. For our trip all the accommodations and meals were wonderful and the overall Safari experience is one we will treasure forever! Thank you to the Meektrails team!

Our experience in Kenya was nothing short of extraordinary, all thanks to Meektrails and our incredible tour guide and driver, Jimmy. From the very beginning, Meektrails impressed us with their responsiveness and clear communication during the booking process. They provided us with detailed, transparent information and curated a beautifully planned itinerary that exceeded our expectations.Jimmy’s exceptional knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife, natural landscapes, and rich cultural heritage truly brought the journey to life. Every moment was filled with awe and wonder as we explored the breathtaking beauty of Kenya. This trip has left us captivated, and we can’t wait to return for more unforgettable adventures!

An amazing week with Meektrails! James was our guide - professional, kind, and knowledgeable with a big smile welcoming us into each incredible experience! We followed his guidance through Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara and saw all big five up close while learning about Kenya, the parks, and the animals. Meektrails sorted everything and made our trip very easy and enjoyable. Great lodging, good food, and lovely people the whole way. Thank you James and team!

Hello!We are a family of 5 from Gipuzkoa Spain and we have recently travelled with Meektrails. The experience has been fantastic and they really deliver what they offer. Special mention to our guide Anthony who has taken care of us like his own family, a good professional with a lot of sensitivity to locate animals and a very respectful person with the environment and especially with people.

My family and I had so much fun on the safari organized by MeekTrails. All the hotels and resorts were amazing and very accommodating to vegetarian diet.From the booking to the final day airport drop off, everything was seamless and taken care off.Joseph was an extraordinary guide and human being. He was very kind and understanding. He was very knowledgeable and we were lucky to have him show us around. He provided amazing details and information about the wildlife and I appreciate that very muchWe have 0 complains. Everything was PERFECT

We recently completed a 7 night safari with Meektrails and had a great experience. Our tour was originally organized by Charles who was very responsive and able to customize our itinerary to our wishes and budget. We spent time in Maasai mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo and enjoyed all of them. The land cruiser was in excellent condition, with a pop-up roof, huge roll down windows, comfortable seats, and working power plugs.Our amazing guide was Anthony who really elevated the experience and allowed us to have an incredible Safari. From the start Anthony was so friendly and open, and made it clear his aim was to make our experience as great as possible. He was absolutely amazing at finding animals and getting us as close as possible to all different animals. We saw everything we had expected and more including cubs and young of nearly every species. He knows all the roads, routes, and small trails which allowed us to get very up close experiences. He also seems to know everyone, from other guides to park rangers which helped us learn about and find the location of animals. He was even also able to organize an early entrance to a couple of the parks to allow us to see sunrise in the park with the animals.Throughout the trip Anthony always double checked the planned schedule with us and offered many suggestions for changes or additions to the plan which really improved the trip. It's clear he has a lot of experience, and local knowledge which allowed him to adjust the itinerary in the best way possible. It's also clear he cares greatly for the local communities and organized for us to give our unused lunch packs to local children rather than seeing the food go to waste.We greatly appreciated our time with Anthony and thanks to him the safari exceeded all our expectations. As for Meektrails the booking process was responsive and easy, and everything was organized as discussed with no hitches. We would certainly organize another safari with Meektrails if returning to Kenya.

Our 7-day safari with Meektrails Safaris in Kenya with our guide Anthony was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all expectations. Our guide Anthony was phenomenal—he was knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything on our wildlife wishlist. Thanks to his incredible skill and dedication, we had close encounters with the Big Five, witnessed breathtaking landscapes, and even saw species we hadn’t expected. His passion for wildlife and his deep understanding of the ecosystem made every game drive an adventure filled with learning and excitement. The accommodations and planning by Meektrails were seamless, making the whole journey stress-free and comfortable. Whether it was sunrise safari or tracking animals, every moment was magical. If you’re looking for a safari company that delivers an exceptional experience with a personal touch, Meektrails Safaris is the one. Highly recommended!

We had a really great experience! We went on a 6 day safari. Our guide was Phillip, we went to Masai Mara and we spotted the big five. Phillip was a really good and enthusiastic guide. I would really recommend it.

We chose MeekTrails for our first family Safari in Kenya and it was a great choice. We built with them a program that perfectly fitted to our group (with people of different ages 11-60). Our five day safari brought us to Amboseli, Nakuru Lake and Masai Mara Nationals Parks and our fantastic guide Njinu made us see a lot of wild wonderful animals, included the big five! He could always find the best spots that made our experience unforgettable. The Sopa Lodges we chose were clean and comfortable, with a lot of services and pools.We strongly recommend MeekTrails if you’re thinking about going to Kenya to make a safari to discover african wikdlife! 🐆🐅🐘🦒🦏🐃

First of all: a big Thank You to the whole team of Meek Trails. From the first contact with Diana until the last drop off at the hotel in Nairobi everything was perfect. Especially Philip: he was calm during driving, told us everything we should know about Africa, the animals, the plants and how to behave in Kenia. Everyday we felt that he was not only doing his job very well, but he was really loving the nature, the big animals and the small ones, specially the moorhens. He was patient, waited with us for the best moments, so we were very lucky to see all the animals we had hoped to see and were able to shoot beautiful photos. We saw the Big 5, the Ugliest 5 and many others and many birds. The days with Philip were full of seeing things and many laughters. The chosen hotels were all beautiful, the meals very good. At last: Thank you Meek Trails for that beautiful and unforgettable surprise at my birthday, when the whole team of the Zebra Camp and a Masai-Group were singing and dancing for me. Diana and Philip: Asante sani - we will miss you!
