Without a shadow of a doubt, the trip of a lifetime
We (a group of three) went on the 6-day Private Safari at the end of May 2026, right before the peak season began. Everything was well organized, and other than liaising with Meektrails before the start of the trip, we barely had to lift a finger.
The safari got started before we even arrived at the first destination. The drive from Nairobi to Amboseli already offered a glimpse of some of the wildlife we’d be seeing. Zebras, giraffes, and ostriches could be seen right off the highway. Our guide, Robin, had extensive knowledge of not just the animals, but also all the areas we drove through on the way.
It only got better from there.
Each excursion offered a unique experience - even if it was a destination we’d been to already. We watched the sun set over Mt. Kilimanjaro as herds of elephants made their way home for the evening, and came back the next morning to find dazzles of zebras and journeys of giraffes grazing on the vegetation. Each park and reserve offered different wildlife, and we were constantly seeing and learning new things. Across Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara we were introduced to beautiful birds, incredible beasts, and outstanding locals.
What really brought the whole trip together was Robin. A good tour guide is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. Robin was all of that and more. For the entire 6 days we were together, he not only taught us about animals (can you tell the difference between a Thomson’s gazelle and a Grant’s gazelle?) and Kenya, but also taught us some Swahili and was eager to learn some Estonian. He’s a master of maneuvering the truck and positioning it in the best possible place for photos. But most importantly, he’s just a fantastic person. Three of us travelled to Kenya, but it felt like four friends on the most scenic road trip imaginable.
If you’re even considering taking a trip to Kenya, do yourself a favor and go. Book with Meektrails, ask for Robin.
Asante sana to Meektrails, and suur aitäh to Robin!

Excellent Safari Experience with Meektrails!
Choosing Meektrails for my Kenya trip was the best decision ever. The entire trip was smoothly organized, and the stays they booked were excellent.
Huge thanks to Diana for her brilliant itinerary coordination and planning. Being a solo traveler, I was a bit apprehensive initially, but she assured me that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. She was incredibly helpful, attentive to what I wanted, and ensured everything was perfectly tailored and stress-free.
My deepest gratitude goes out to my guide, Paul. He is incredibly skilled and deeply knowledgeable about the wilderness. His tracking abilities are unmatched—he knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife sightings, making every single game drive unforgettable.
Highly recommend Meektrails for anyone wanting a perfect safari experience!

This holiday exceeded our expectations, 10/10.
We're so glad we booked our Kenya safari with Meektrails, since the very first moment we contacted them, Paul gave us all the information we needed, he made the changes we asked for the itinerary and answered every question we had. Our guides, James and Joseph, made our trip so special, sharing about Kenyan culture, they were so nice and friendly, we had a great time. Special mention to Joseph, he is very knowledgeable about animal behavior, we learned so much from him, he has more than 20 years of experience and we were so lucky to have him as our guide. The hotels were really comfortable, the food was really good, we got an upgrade at our hotel in Masai Mara and this was the best place we stayed in Kenya. Hell's Gate bicycle safari was a really nice experience, and also a good way to stretch our legs since most of the time you are in the car moving from one park to another or on game drive. We definitely recommend Meektrails for Kenya safari, they know their way around and they take care of everything, they made us feel really safe and comfortable. You just need to bring a good camera and good binoculars, they look after everything else.

Unforgettable safari
We booked our Kenya safari with Gadson at Meektrails and it exceeded every expectation. From the first email exchange, Gadson was responsive, patient with our questions, and put together an itinerary covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara that balanced scenery, wildlife diversity, and pacing perfectly.
Our guide Ben was the true star of the trip. His knowledge of animal behavior and the parks meant he consistently got us into position ahead of other vehicles — we were first in line for sighting after sighting. Thanks to his skill (and admittedly a little luck) we saw baby lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and in Nakuru we were lucky enough to spot the rare black rhino. Ben's patience, sharp eyes, and genuine enthusiasm made every game drive feel personal rather than routine.
On our first day in the Masai Mara, our vehicle broke down. Ben immediately called mechanics, who arrived within 40 minutes, while Meektrails sent another guide to pick us up so we didn't lose a minute of game viewing. Even in that moment, it was clear the whole team at Meektrails is made up of true professionals — every guide we worked with, even when it wasn't Ben, was knowledgeable, attentive, and took great care of us throughout the tour.
Every lodge and camp we stayed in across all four parks was excellent: comfortable, well-located rooms, delicious food, and attentive, warm staff who made us feel taken care of throughout.
We couldn't have asked for a better safari. If you're considering Meektrails, ask for Gadson and Ben — you'll be in the best hands. Highly recommend.

An unforgettable safari experience with an amazing team!
Our family safari with MeekTrails Safaris was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Gadson and Daniel organized a flawless itinerary, ensuring we were comfortable and well-taken care of throughout the whole journey.
A very special thanks to Gino, our driver and guide. His knowledge, dedication, and excellent Spanish made a huge difference, making us feel completely at home and ensuring we didn't miss a single detail during the spectacular wildlife viewings.
We created wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional, and passionate safari partner in Kenya, we highly recommend MeekTrails. Asante sana to the whole team for an unforgettable adventure!"

Excellent service from start to finish, professional, friendly and well organised
Meek trails went above and beyond for us. Great communication and customer service from the first message we sent until we were dropped back at the airport. Everything was so well organised that it made our 7 days in Kenya completely stress free. Thank you to both Ester and James for making our first safari in unforgettable experience.

Had an amazing safari experience with Meek Trail Safaris from July 5–10, We were a group of 18 in 3 jeeps, and everything was well-organized—it definitely helped that they own their own fleet of 15 jeeps.
Valentine, our safari consultant, was super responsive to all our questions (even if she occasionally had to "check with my boss"!). All payments and logistics were handled in a completely smooth and transparent manner. The boss, Dan, came to our hotel with his team to greet and welcome us in person before we set off, which was a great touch.
They even organised our pick up and drop from the airport though it was out of the safari contract since we landed 1 day early and Left 1 day late.
Our guides were incredible and made the trip enjoyable and smooth.
Gidian (Giddy): The boss, planner, and know-it-all of the group.
Joseph: The sarcastic one who kept us laughing.
Robin (Rob): The casual, jolly, and easygoing guy.
Together, they ran a well-orchestrated itinerary and were super accommodating, consenting to almost every request we made. We saw everything we could have possibly expected to see on a safari!
Would definitely recommend Meek Trail Safaris to anybody looking to book a trip.
And finally don't forget to remember what they teach you about Animals . You will be put to test later.

Beyond our expectations !
We chose Meektrails for a 6-days tailor-made private safari (Masai Mara–Nakuru–Naivasha) for our family of five.
We’re all absolutely delighted we chose this agency, which enabled us to enjoy a fabulous week. I’d recommend them 200% !!!
- Before the trip: my contact person, Peris, was incredibly responsive, patient with my endless emails, and really helped me in the fine-tuning of our itinerary, and even more in the research and selection of lodges fitting what we were looking for…while staying in our budget. Thank you for everything, Peris!
- The welcome from the whole team at the airport was really great and immediately put a smile on the whole family’s faces!
- The safari was organised flawlessly. The car (a Toyota LandCruiser) was reliable, very spacious and comfortable.
- Our driver-guide, Georges, was also brilliant! He was punctual, attentive and did all the efforts to ensure our days were packed from park opening to closing time, particularly in the Masai Mara! We saw a huge number of animals, particularly big cats, far exceeding our expectations. Georges has a keen eye for spotting them and always manages to position the car in just the right spot for photos (especially when there are other cars at the same spot). He also provides excellent explanations.
- The accommodation (Mtito Camp, Nakuru Sopa Lodge and Naivasha Sopa Resort) exceeded our expectations.
- When I consider the services provided and the accommodation we were given, I think the value for money is absolutely unbeatable.
All five of us were delighted with the week and really pleased with our choice of agency!

Unforgettable safari experience with Meektrails!
We had an incredible 5-day / 4-night private safari with Meektrails Safaris, visiting the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Lake Naivasha (including a boat trip and walking safari), and Amboseli National Park. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Our guide and driver, Habil, exceeded all expectations. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and an excellent driver. He always knew where to find the best wildlife while giving us the perfect balance of interesting information and time to simply enjoy the experience. We felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the entire trip.
The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration and an unforgettable Mara River crossing in the Maasai Mara. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that wouldn’t have been possible without Habil’s expertise and dedication.
The planning and communication with Esther before the trip were seamless, making the whole experience completely stress-free.
If you’re looking for a reliable safari company with outstanding guides and excellent organization, we can wholeheartedly recommend Meektrails Safaris. The memories from this trip will stay with us forever!
