Amazing safari experience
A friend recommended Meterai safari for Kenya. We trusted her and it was the best trip of our lifes. Our driver and tour guide was a very experienced person and very friendly. The hotels where we stayed for medium range were much better than we expected, delicious food and some of them even had animals inside the resorts, an unforgettable experience.

A good safari, excellent communication
Communication with the tour operator was excellent right from the start.
Overall, the tour was satisfactory; all the arrangements made were honoured and the transfers were on time.
There are lots of optional activities that aren’t included in the price of the safari and which you’re almost always forced to do so as not to be left with no alternatives (usually $20 each, and there are at least 3–4 of them).
Overall, all the guides, staff and drivers were honest and very friendly, so I’d recommend them.
I’d advise you to carefully consider which activities you want to do and how many days to spend on the safari in the most important parks: Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
We chose the 5-day tour, but we spent a whole afternoon with no scheduled activities or optional extras to do. For the last three days, we only did half-day activities.
The Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha parks are interesting, but you’ll only spend half a day there; it might be worth dedicating more time to the larger parks (Maasai Mara and Amboseli).
One final tip: there’s a big difference between budget and mid-range accommodation; consider your choice carefully.

Nica accommodation and service
The "tent" accommodation was much more comfortable than I would have expected (large tent with a bed and private bathroom) and the guide was very helpful and generous with his time, we spent much more than the allocated time in Masai Mara and had many great wildlife experience (even if the river crossing did not have any migration ongoing that day)

Professional, hospitable and very accomodating
I availed the services of Meterai Safaris because they had been patient in answering my questions about the tour. They have organized my tours according to my preferences and have given me options and suggestions as well. My contact person is John and I am amazed on how fast he organized my last minute requests. He always follow up if everything is okay and if there is anything I need. The tours are well organized, the drivers and the tour guides are professional and kind. Great shout out to Ian, my Masai Mara driver and guide.

Very reliable and flexible. Professional, friendly and helpful organisation. Went to Amboseli.
Having been to Kenya many times, first when I was 15. I am 62 now I had booked 2 nights in Amboseli with John Amwayo from Meterai Safaris. Hoping to get the iconic picture with an elephant in front of Mount Kilimanjaro
I came down to Nairobi after 6 nights in Laikipia where my cameras captured nice meetings with Giza Mrembo, the black female leopard. There I booked direct with the Wilderness camp.
I met John at the office and the driver/guide Jackson on the meeting point at Njuganas.
I shared the Amboseli safari with a very nice Spanish couple. It was not easy to get my dream picture as we are not allowed offroad. But first morning got it. It was so nice also seeing Kilimanjaro clear long time. I walked up to the summit, Uhuru Peak from Tanzania 2003. Also now did a very nice short bush walk with two Massai from Nyati camp.
I have published many wildlife books and reports.

Efficient, Reliable and Good Communication
I went on a 3 day safari to Amboseli in January and it was a great experience. I opted for the joiner tour so was paired up with a group of girls and it was really good. We saw lots of animals, the accommodation was comfortable, and the food was tasty. Overall, the whole experience was a lot of fun.
Only thing to improve would be more water. We were given a litre a day which is not enough in this heat, at least 2 litres should be given. Additionally it got very hot in the vehicle when we were driving to and from Nairobi. The AC did not work and it was unbearable at times.
Also, don’t bother with the additional sunrise walk. It’s extortionate at $20 and not worth it at all.

The Safari was good organized.
Our safari in Amboseli National Park was a wonderful experience overall. From the very beginning, the organization was excellent. The pickup was perfectly on time, which immediately gave us a good feeling and showed how professional the company is.
The safari jeep was very impressive – comfortable, well maintained, and perfect for exploring the park. The food and refreshments during the trip were also very good and well prepared, which made the long day in the park even more enjoyable.
Our driver made a real effort to find animals for us, and thanks to his dedication we were able to see everything we had hoped for. We were very satisfied with the wildlife experience and appreciated how hard he worked to make sure we had a successful safari.
One small downside was that the driver did not talk very much and did not explain a lot about the animals or the park. A bit more information and storytelling would have made the experience even better.
However, we were especially grateful that the driver made it possible to drop us off at the airport, even though it was a different location than the original plan. This flexibility helped us a lot and made our travel much easier, and we were very happy about it.
Overall, it was a great safari experience with good organization, a fantastic jeep, good food, and a very dedicated driver who made sure we saw the animals we came for.
