Meektrails delivered a seamless, safe, and unforgettable safari experience with exceptional service,
We had an amazing experience with Meektrails during our trip to Kenya. From start to finish, everything was well coordinated and thoughtfully planned. The team was very accommodating and responsive, and they really made the entire trip feel seamless and stress free.
A special shoutout to our guide, Gideon (Giddy), who truly made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, always prioritized our safety, and shared so many insightful facts about the animals and wildlife throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we were able to accomplish the Big 5 within a week, along with seeing many other animals we had hoped to encounter.
We also really appreciated how cooperative and helpful the team was in coordinating with our hot air balloon provider and trying to make everything work smoothly for us.
Kenya was such a special experience, and Meektrails played a huge part in that. Highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari trip, and we would definitely book with them again if we visit Tanzania in the future!

Amazing company. George we will never forget you
Wow if I could gives these guys 10 stars I would. From start to finish the booking process and working with the team was amazing.
Our guide George is an expert on Kenya and safari, every animal had a story. We learnt so much about the animals, trees and Kenya. His navigation and driving was on another level. We hope one day he lives his dream and makes it to vegas as he has made our dream perfect.
The entire trip was tailored to our needs and how we felt.
We saw so many animals. We seen 4 of the big 5. Around 10 lions in one single day. Moving throw the grass. Also seen the rare cheetah and my favourite 2 hyena.
Special shoutout goes to Diana our booking agent who despite our issues with ongoing issues in the Middle East flight cancellations Diana was with us and completely flexible with making sure if we could arrive the trip would happen.

My recent Kenya Safari with MeekTrails Safari was absolutely flawless! From the moment of booking until I returned home, I couldn’t stop raving about it. A huge thank you to the entire team for making this journey unforgettable.A Special Shoutout to Charles,Communicating with him via WeChat was an absolute game-changer for Chinese travelers. No hassle with international apps. I bombarded him with countless questions about the itinerary, hotels, and food, and he responded with endless patience and professionalism. Most importantly, he truly understood my needs and tailored the entire safari plan perfectly to ensure I had everything I wanted, giving me complete peace of mind before departure. Our Guide Joseph was absolutely phenomenal!Extremely knowledgeable, with fantastic driving skills. He navigated the savanna safely and efficiently, always knowing exactly where to find the best animal sightings.

Our guide, Anthony, is a true expert on and respectful of the local wildlife.
I can't ever imagine a better trip. It's a personal customized organization, tailored to your budget and preferences.
I would not hesitate to travel with Meektrails again or to recommend them to my friends.

Far beyond my expectations
Fluent communication with our connector, Paul and our guide, James. They give us such an easy trip that we almost worried nothing. The accomodation is rigorous, both clean and convenient. Food there includes typical African, European and Indian food. James also act as an animal specialist and give us a dive into different types of animals and birds in Kenya. Furthermore, he gave us customized services, in which he found rare birds like hornbills for us.

Wonderful safari experience
We were on a 5 day safari trip. We had both walking safari, bike safari, boat safari and car safari. It was truly an adventure. We had a fantastic stay with Manu as our guide. He was really skilled. Can't praise him enough. Extremely skilled. We saw an incredible amount of beautiful animals including the big five. Incredible to be so close to the animals.
We also had fantastic overnight stays at various hotels. The food was first class with good ingredients.
This was really great value for money. Will recommend this further.

Meektrails delivered a well-organised safari with a fantastic guide & excellent wildlife experience
Booking Experience:
I found Meektrails on SafariBookings while planning a 5-day Amboseli–Nakuru–Masai Mara safari. After comparing quotes, I chose them for their fast responses, competitive pricing, flexible payments, and fully refundable cancellation policy. Paul was responsive throughout and helpful in finalising the itinerary.
Constructive feedback (reason for that one star less):
I would have appreciated stronger guidance on whether visiting three parks in five days was realistic. In hindsight, this made the trip very travel-heavy and less relaxed. More proactive communication around issuing invoices and payment receipts would have helped. While Paul was always responsive and trustworthy, the process felt a bit informal — especially when booking for Kenya for the first time.
Important Travel Reality Check:
Irrespective of what itineraries may state, our actual drive times were long: Nairobi to Amboseli took 6 hours, Amboseli to Nakuru took 9–10 hours, and Masai Mara to Nairobi took about 6 hours. We spent a significant amount of time on the road between parks, which reduced actual park time.
Arriving at Nairobi Terminal 1A was chaotic — long queues, no AC, and 2 hours at immigration. Departure was similar with multiple security checks, so allow 3 hours. Thankfully, Meektrails’ airport transfer was smooth and reliable.
Safari Experience with Meektrails:
The next morning we were welcomed at the hotel by Paul, Jamal (our guide), and other Meektrails staff. We completed the final payment formalities and received complimentary Meektrails caps before departure. We travelled in a Toyota Land Cruiser safari vehicle that was clean and comfortable, with 6 bucket seats, built for rugged terrain, and equipped with a fridge for water and juices. There was no AC, but that honestly wasn’t an issue. Tip: ask for binoculars in advance if you need them, as ours did not come with one.
Our Guide – Jamal:
Jamal truly made the trip special. With years of guiding experience and many friends across the parks, he was extremely knowledgeable, a safe and confident driver, passionate about wildlife, patient (even with our two noisy kids!), and always smiling despite the long drives. He went above and beyond, even negotiating lunch arrangements en route to a resort to keep things smooth. If you book with Meektrails, I would highly recommend requesting Jamal. Game Drives & The ParksWe visited in mid-February, meaning no wildebeest migration, but lots of offspring and easy spotting due to fewer water sources. The game drives were absolutely incredible. Each park offers something different and all exceeded expectations. Stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife and birdlife, sightings of the Big Five, and even a National Geographic-style lion hunt. Jamal knew the parks extremely well and positioned us perfectly for sightings. You simply cannot be disappointed with these parks.
Accommodation:
We stayed mostly in resorts inside the parks or very close to the gates. I would recommend staying inside or just outside park gates to maximise game drive time. On Day 1 in each park, entry formalities take some time, but after that it is much quicker. All hotels were lovely — it’s just a shame we didn’t have much time to enjoy the first two, as we mostly arrived, had dinner, and slept before moving on again.
Final Thoughts & Tips for Future Travellers:
If you’re planning a Kenyan safari, stay at least 2 nights per park for a relaxed experience. Distances between parks are significant, so plan realistically. Buy a Safaricom SIM card at the airport (best coverage) with at least 10GB of data. Kenyans are incredibly warm, welcoming, and almost everyone speaks English.
Overall Verdict:
Meektrails delivered a well-organised safari with a fantastic guide and excellent wildlife experiences. The main learning for future travellers is itinerary pacing — fewer parks with more time at each would make the experience even better. Despite the long drives, the wildlife experiences were unforgettable and truly once-in-a-lifetime.
