More than a safari – an unforgettable journey through Kenya
We had an unforgettable two-week trip through Kenya with Meektrails Safaris, and from the very beginning Esther made the whole experience feel personal and perfectly tailored to us.
She put together a wonderful itinerary combining the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and the coast, as we wished. She listened carefully to what was important to us and found beautiful places to stay. Communication before and during the trip was always easy, warm and reliable.
And then there was Kim, our guide and driver, who became such an important part of our whole Kenya experience. His knowledge, his incredible eye for spotting animals, his patience and his calm way of doing things made every single game drive special. He showed us so much more than just the animals and always seemed to notice things long before we did. And somewhere along the way, his constant “pole pole” became one of the lasting memories of our trip. We could not have wished for a better guide.
What impressed us most was how well everything was taken care of even when things did not go according to plan. Our journey already started with a major flight delay and an unexpected night in Dubai, but Esther immediately adapted the arrangements in Kenya and stayed in contact with us throughout the trip. Later, when we experienced a very upsetting incident at one of the camps, Kim was there for us and helped us through a difficult situation. Knowing that we were not left alone when something went wrong meant a lot to us.
We also really appreciated all the small personal touches and the feeling that this was not simply a standard safari package. It became a journey we will remember for a very long time.
Thank you, Esther, for creating this journey for us, and thank you, Kim, for making our days on safari so unforgettable. We came home with countless memories, a serious case of Kenya longing – and already the idea that this probably wasn't our last trip with Meektrails. ❤️🇰🇪
Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience highly recommend
Just back from a 10 day safari with my 16 year old son and my brother. It was an amazing experience. Our driver guide James made it for us I think. He was so professional, kind, and patient with us. He was very passionate about the wildlife and always did his best to make our safari holiday the best experience it could possibly be. The accomodation and food on the trip was amazing. I can not recommend this company and James highly enough. We are from Ireland and will be recommending this company and this trip to our friends and family.

Perfect honeymoon
My husband and I went on a 5 day safari with Meektrails for our honeymoon. We went to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara. Our guide Ben was amazing. We felt extremely safe from the moment we met him. The trip was stress free and perfect for a honeymoon. We had incredible experiences with wildlife, and our highlight was watching a lion hunt a warthog in Masai Mara. We saw every animal we hoped to see.
We worked with Mike to book our trip and he was great as well. He communicated with us before, during and after the trip to ensure everything was going smoothly. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and we cannot thank Meektrails enough. I highly recommend.

Trip of a lifetime!
We have just finished a week safari with Meektrail Safaris and it was excellent in every way. From planning, to pick up, to drop off we were so well looked after. James, our wonderful driver, was patient, kind, knowledgable and THE BEST driver imaginable in the difficult terrain of the Parks, as well as the drives between the Parks. We saw the Big Five and more! Could not have imagined a better trip! We will remember it forever! Thank you James, Charles and Meektrail Safaris!

An Unforgettable Kenya Safari with an Excellent and Reliable Local Tour Operator
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Meektrails Safaris during our six-day private safari in Kenya. From our very first email to the end of our trip, everything was well organized, professional, and handled with genuine care.
Our first point of contact was William, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the planning process. He patiently answered all of our questions, explained the itinerary clearly, and always replied quickly whenever we needed assistance. His communication gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company even before arriving in Kenya.
Our guide, James, made the safari truly special. He prepared the Land Cruiser so that we could travel comfortably and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the journey. Whenever we encountered wildlife, he explained what we were seeing in a detailed but easy-to-understand way. During the game drives, he always tried to position the vehicle so that we could get a better view and take photos, while also giving us plenty of time to simply enjoy the moment.
The most unforgettable moment of our entire trip was in the Masai Mara, when we witnessed two lionesses hunting a zebra. We had hoped to see lions hunting during our safari, but we honestly never imagined that we would actually witness it with our own eyes. We were incredibly excited and thrilled! It was one of those unforgettable moments that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
James also went beyond simply being a safari guide. He regularly checked whether we were comfortable and whether we were satisfied with our accommodation and meals. He even introduced us to some local music, which made the journey even more fun and helped us experience the local atmosphere and culture. His friendly personality made us feel comfortable from the beginning, and by the end of the trip, it felt like we were travelling with someone we knew rather than simply being customers on a tour.
The itinerary was also very well balanced, taking us through Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and finally the Masai Mara. The accommodations and meals were good, and the overall arrangements were smooth. Most importantly, we never had to worry about transportation, schedules, or the practical details of the safari. We could simply relax and enjoy Kenya.
As Korean travelers visiting Kenya for the first time, choosing a trustworthy local safari company was very important to us. Meektrails Safaris gave us exactly the kind of experience we had hoped for: professional service, quick communication, a knowledgeable and caring guide, and an unforgettable safari.
We are truly grateful to William, James, and the entire Meektrails team for making our first Kenya safari such a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend Meektrails Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Kenya, especially travelers from Korea who may be visiting Kenya for the first time. If we have the opportunity to return to Kenya someday, we would be very happy to travel with Meektrails again.
Thank you for giving us so many wonderful memories of Kenya!

What a unforgettable safari!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with our guide George.
He was extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife, birds and local plants. He had sharp eyes and helped us spot the Big Five and so many amazing animals.
He was very patient, thoughtful and always willing to adjust our route according to our wishes. He shared interesting local stories along the drive, making the whole trip vivid and unforgettable.
The driving was smooth and safe throughout. We truly enjoyed every minute of this safari.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, we could not recommend George more highly. He does not just do a job — he truly loves wildlife and loves showing visitors the magic of Africa.
Thank you so much, George, for giving us this once‑in‑a‑lifetime African adventure.

Perfect, choose them
We just finished our 7‑day Kenya safari with Meektrails Safaris, and we owe so much of its success to our incredible guide, George.
From day one, George’s professionalism and passion for wildlife were evident. He has an eagle eye – he spotted animals we would have completely missed, and thanks to him, we saw the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) in their natural habitat. But what truly set him apart was his deep knowledge. Every time we encountered an animal, he would pull over, give us the English and Swahili names, and explain its behavior, diet, and role in the ecosystem.His driving was safe and smooth, even on rough terrain, and he always prioritized our comfort. He never rushed us, gave us plenty of time to take photos, and made sure we had the best spots for sunrise and sunset.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Meektrails Safaris – and if you can, ask for George. He turned a great trip into a truly extraordinary experience.
Thank you, George, for everything. We will cherish these memories forever.

Amazing Safari
Our safari with Meektrail exceeded all our expectations and was an unforgettable experience.
Esther personally welcomed us on the day of pickup and surprised us with a thoughtful little gift. It was a wonderful start to our adventure.
Our guide, Habil, was outstanding—reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help. His passion for wildlife was evident, and he always gave us plenty of time to watch the animals, take photos, and enjoy every moment without ever feeling rushed.
Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well looked after throughout the entire trip.
If you’re planning a safari, we highly recommend booking with a local company like Meektrail. Not only are you supporting the local community, but you also benefit from genuine local expertise, authentic experiences, and excellent connections. Habil made our safari truly special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We would choose Meektrail, Esther, and Habil again without hesitation. Thank you for an incredible experience!

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!
