Excellence, kindness, professionalism. Feel like home.
If you're looking for the perfect tour operator, you'll find it at Meektrails Safari. Eliud's ease of communication, availability, understanding, helpfulness, and choices were all excellent.
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.

Absolutely amazing, worth it, and very dependable and trustworthy for the best safari experience.
We cannot give a good enough review to Meektrails for such and amazing experience! They welcomed us with gifts, and the team came to meet us personally on the first day.
A big thank you and utmost appreciation for Elud who was our trip consultant, who perfectly curated the trip and answered all our questions to make us feel at ease and made our honeymoon feel special, and even gave us extras at no added cost, and for Joseph, our amazing tour guide, who made every moment fun and invigorating.
Everything was perfectly planned and executed and all our needs were taken care of to the fullest and our tour guide, Joseph made sure we were always comfortable. To be honest, we felt uneasy before we booked it, as it was our first time travelling alone but our tour guide really made us feel so safe and at ease throughout. He would always keep a watch out for us and make sure we are safe when in the parks and even when outside of the car for stops on the journey.
Joseph treated us like his own family from the start, always welcoming us on every single day and making sure all our requests were taken care of. Whether it was a toilet break, or to take pictures somewhere, or even to stop at different souvenir shops, he would always accommodate our requests promptly! He was so knowledgeable about everything in the Kenyan nature, from the animals to the plants to even mountains and rivers and how they were formed. He would always encourage curiosity and taught us so much and so many interesting things about animals we didn't know. He was very understanding and sweet and he was honestly the best guide we could have asked for. His driving skills were top notch always very calm, and he always delivered on the safaris with 20 years of experience, finding even the rare animals like rhino's and cheetahs and making sure we have a complete and exciting experience.
Regarding the safari itself, it was very well planned and allowed us to explore the diversity of Kenya Landscape and animals. We did a 6 day safari starting with amboselli, then lake naivasha and lake nakuru, and then masai mara. This safari did prove to be quite fast paced and most of the days included drives, so I would recommend reducing the number of locations or increasing the number of days. All the lodges they booked for us were very comfortable to stay in, with friendly staff and amazing food.
Amboselli had the beautiful landscape of Mount kilimanjaro and very diverse wildlife in the park including lions, elephants, buffalos, zebras, impalas etc. Lake naivasha was our favorite and boat safari and walking safari there as they were truly surreal, seeing hippos up close on the boat and walking very close to animals like zebras, wildebeest, and even girrafes really made us feel like we are in the wild. Masai Mara was the most excting experience with frequently seeing lions and cheetahs as if they were just any other animal, and crocodiles on the mara river.
This was actually my wife and I's honeymoon, and Meektrails really made it feel special. A special thank you to them! They arranged special arrangements with all the hotels where our rooms had welcoming decorations and even some treats. And they even upgraded us for FREE from our original booked camp to a luxury one in Masai Mara for the occasion! This really made our honeymoon feel extra special and was so very kind of Meektrails and the Zebra camps in Masai Mara.
I highly highly recommend Meektrails as the guide if you are travelling to Kenya. You will not regret choosing them and they will truly give you an unforgettable experience! Kenya is a beautiful country and their Safari showed us the beauty of the country and made us explore so many diverse landscapes and wildlife.
I really don't think my words justify how great the experience was, but thank you Meektrails! And I hope whoever is reading this review gets to have the same rewarding experience.

An unforgettable safari experience – truly exceptional from start to finish
We’ve just completed our safari with Meektrails Safari, covering Amboseli, a visit to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara and I can honestly say this was one of the most memorable trips of my life.
From the very first contact, Meektrail Safari stood out. While I reached out to several agencies, they were the only ones who took the time to send a clear, well-designed PDF itinerary with photos and detailed explanations. That level of professionalism immediately made the difference and gave us confidence from day one. Everything was transparent, well explained, and thoughtfully prepared. A special thank-you to Will, who handled the booking process flawlessly and was always responsive and reassuring.
Once in Kenya, everything ran perfectly smoothly. Payments, timings, logistics — absolutely seamless.
Our driver and guide, James (Waicha), deserves a very special mention. He is simply outstanding.
Waicha is not just a driver — he is a true safari professional:
• Extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and ecosystems
• Always knowing where to look, when to stop, and when to move
• Providing binoculars and practical guidance on how to observe animals properly
• Finding quiet, scenic routes and spots where we could enjoy nature away from crowds
• Perfectly managing time while never rushing the experience
He explained everything with passion, adapted to our pace, and made sure we were always comfortable and safe. Every single transfer was smooth always on time and stress-free.
On top of that, we decided quite last-minute to add a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi. Even though availability is notoriously difficult, the team managed to organize it for us — which was incredibly appreciated and made the trip even more special.
From the planning stage to the very last day, the entire team was professional, warm, and reliable. You genuinely feel taken care of, not treated like just another booking.
I cannot recommend Meektrails Safari highly enough. If you’re looking for a serious, well-organized safari with passionate people who truly care about the experience, this is the agency to choose. We would book again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone traveling to Kenya.
Thank you to the whole team — and especially to Waicha — for an unforgettable adventure.
