5/5



Meektrails safari is a wonderful company with great people working for the company, a lot of interesting people, people who are ready to help you understand what you see. From the animals and plants you see in Masai Mara to interesting facts about land and different mountains. Overall I would record this company for anyone who is interested to go on a safari.

A thrilling and exciting adventure.
5/5

the day started with a bang. As we had already arranged the time to start the wildest week of my trip to kenya. The safari was arranged by non other than daniel, the ceo of meektrails. With good price range any one loking for a budget safari can enjoy. The guide who was sent to pick us up, explained all the details with clarity,...(countinue). The guide was on time and we quickly made haste to start our journey. Masai mara was extrodinary. The first time we step into our lodge we knew that daniel made the right choice. Some lodges come with one bed while others too. Very affordable and very quiet. You are one with nature. No wifi just quietness. Even if you cant go one day with out your phone i doubt you will even need to pick up your phone while at the lodge. Its breath taking. For those who dont know animals, the days i spent in masai mara, the guide explained everything to us with so much detail. They also had experience since they knew where the animals hid and roamed. If you are lucky you will be able to see a lion. As an inexperience travel i didnt know what i was getting myself into. But with meektrails safari, i got to experence kenya like never before. 3 days is masai mara. Riding around the park waiting with excitement for the next animal you see. A budget lodge with incredible hospitality and freindly people. Not only do you see the animals daniel helped me get to know the locals by introducing them to us. we spoke to the masai, learned they custom and was enchanted by their splendiferous dance. At meek safari they go above and beyond. After masai mara we spent one day in amboseli. Just a stop over to mombasa. We were hoping for good weather to be able to be able to see mount kilimanjaro but the following day it was cloudy. There was nothing we could do about it other than drive to our final destination. During the drives, daniel is a very enthusiatic person, he is always ready to engange in a conversation and willing to get to know you better. On the drives between places he often gives us facts about the place we are in or the people, culture or animal that we see. After all the safari we chose yo relax in mombasa. The the white and blue city in kenya. The hotel we stayed in was also recommended by daniel and to our suprise he was not wrong. Daniel is an astounding tour guide. With good charisma and character. He seems to know all the hidden jems in kenya and anywhere he picks to take you know that there is going to be an adventure.

For 3 days we stayed in mombasa. It was humid and hot but had a sense of tranquility in the air that made you feel calm. Without daniel i would have never seen the hidden jems of mombasa. He took us to mamba village where you see crocodiles but also you get to taste one. A local delicacy in mombasa that you have to try. Very juicy and strechy makes me recall eating chicken. Our days in the hotel were splendid. The hotel had pool tables, pingpong, a bar an upstairs restaurant, spa and an enormous pool. anything you could think of was there. It was a trip to remember. Entering the city is easy but leaving is whats hard. With out daniel and meektrails safari, i woukd have never experienced this country's beauty, diversity and culture. For a mid-budget safari meektrails safari might be the answer you were searching for.

The top value for dollar safari company that you can use!
5/5

I am pleased to file this report on my 4th safari with Daniel Waruri of Meektrails Safaris. Obviously, having booked multiple safaris with Daniel I have been very pleased with his services.

The first safari I was with Mr. Waruri he was sub-contracting with a different safari company but since has started his own company which specializes in safaris of a personalized nature.

The last three safaris I have taken with Daniel were ones specializing in bird watching. Daniel is an active birder and photographer in his own right and we have been to many parks and reserves on these excursions that he researched himself. During these trips his emphasis on the lodging is "value for dollar". It would be easy to schedule visits to all 5-star [and therefore more expensive] resorts and have clients be happy with the facilities. Mr. Waruri scouts places that are 'diamonds in the rough' resulting in substantial savings on the safaris without sacrificing quality.

As I write this I am planning my 5th and 6th safaris with Meektrails so I think that you can infer that I give this company and Mr. Waruri my wholehearted support.

Best time of our Lives, trip of a lifetime with Meektrails.
5/5

Meektrails.


We highly recommend Meektrails Safaris.
We went through countless options before we chose Meektrails, for a 5 night, 6 day Safari through Kenya. Meektrails and our organiser William put our minds at ease. The night before I felt nervous & the second we met our Guide Onezmas we felt comfortable and immediately excited.
Each day Onezmas greeted us cheerily and over the 6 days he maintained professionalism, whilst also being warm and friendly with a great sense of humour. We felt like mates in no time.
If you can, ask for Onezmas. He went out of his way for us the whole time, he made sure that anything we asked for, we got to see. He knew the parks better than anyone and we quickly realised we were in the best of hands. We felt like we got the most well rounded Safari with once in a lifetime memories and experiences thanks to Onezmas and Meektrails.
We saw numerous other Meektrails tours along the way and realised we had chosen a great well-known company.
They had great touches, such as a safari hat, drink bottle, personalised jeeps, uniforms and more.
We saw the big 5, a family of cheetahs feeding on a gazelle, a lion praying on zebras, so many cubs, A kill in a tree, we got up close to all the different animals, and each camp we stayed at was better than the next. Meektrails makes sure you have the best options.
I would advise any changes you make with your organiser you get an updated itinerary.
We have no complaints and have recommended Meektrails and Onezmas to all our friends and Family. Everyone is impressed with our
Thank you for providing us with the best Safari we could’ve dreamt of. We hope to return some day.
-Toni and Aidan.

Best experience ever
5/5

Our experience with Meektrails Safari was extraordinary, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. From the very beginning, their team showed immense kindness and support, making us feel surrounded by wonderful people from the initial trip planning at home to our arrival in the stunning landscapes of Kenya.

Pauline, our main contact at Meektrails Safari, and James, our guide, were exceptional throughout. They were not only incredibly accommodating but also warm and attentive to all our needs. Meektrails Safari truly embodies outstanding customer service. The organization of our 7-day safari was flawless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.

James, with his passion and enthusiasm, made the trip even more special. We instantly connected with him, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see every animal and visit every location we had dreamed of, all while enjoying every moment together, from early mornings to late evenings.

Pauline worked tirelessly to tailor the perfect itinerary, balancing our time and expectations seamlessly. We are deeply grateful for having met such remarkable people who made our journey possible. Without them, this incredible experience wouldn’t have been the same!

Don’t Look Any Further - book with Meektrails!
5/5

We've just returned from a seven day safari in Kenya through Meektrails Safaris and we cannot say enough great things about the company, the people, the itinerary, the lodges they recommended, and especially our incredible guide. Traveling were two adults and our four kids (ages 13,14,20 and 22)

Picking a safari company is overwhelming. We don't have a lot of friends who have done this so I had to rely on a lot of research and reading reviews. My whole family is so happy that we landed at Meektrails. The communication with our travel expert, Eliud, was reliable and quick. There are times I'm certain that I reached out to him when it was some obscene hour in Kenya and he always got back to me in a timely, professional manner with great information. Most notably, Eliud was there is a SERIOUS pinch when I had messed up our Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). He and the Meektrails team literally saved our vacation.

Our itinerary went from Nairobi to Amboseli to Lake Naivasha to Lake Nakuru to the Masai Mara in seven days. It's a lot of time in the vehicle but the big, upgraded LandCruiser was seriously spacious and comfortable. Meektrails gave us a suggested list of lodges which I tweaked a little to our individual needs, but all of the lodges were awesome - comfortable rooms, awesome security, nice amenities and food that literally pleased everyone in our group.

The very best part of our safari was our incredible guide, Joseph, who fit in wonderfully with our big family. Joseph managed to be ever present for advice, information, counsel and help, while also being totally discreet and unintrusive. When you go on safari, you're going to spend A LOT of time with your guide, and it was fantastic to have someone who was so knowledgeable, hard-working, personable and experienced. Joseph is an incredible driver (always safe, and it's NOT EASY to navigate through some of these towns!), but most importantly he is a veritable font of knowledge about Kenya, it's parks, the animals, the culture, the history. We loved learning from him and hearing about all of the animals we saw. And we saw a lot!

Meektrails says, "We take you close!" and they mean it! There were times when we were literally 15 feet from a wild animal and our guide always seemed to know where to find them. We saw just about everything you can imagine and many things that I couldn't!

It was truly a magical experience to have this safari. I was a little apprehensive about how much it would cost and how we would get the fees to them, but Meektrails made it affordable and easy to deal with the financial aspect this trip of a lifetime. There are a lot of companies who want your business to do a safari - trust me and choose Meektrails. They do an incredible job from start to finish and you will be glad you chose them!

5/5

Where do I begin, just WOW … from the initial contact to book our safari the team at Meaktrails was consistent and responsive which reassured us we had made the right choice going with them. Victor couldn’t have planned our itinerary any better, all the locations we stayed at were fabulous.
It gets even better when we get their best tour guide Philip who drove many hours picking us up from our Hotel in Nairobi & dropping us off at our requested locations (Kuria, Nairobi) We got to see all the Big Five thanks to his quick thinking and driving skills which ensured we were in the best spots to see all the animals. Asante sana from is all Philip.
