Perfect and reliable
The communication was smooth throughout the whole process! The driver and part-time tour guide had good driving skills and knew enough about animals. He kept popularizing science for us. He was very reliable throughout the whole process!

Absolutely amazing experience!
Our 7 days / 6 nights Safari itinerary contained Tsavo national park, Lake Naivasha with boat and walking safari tour, Lake Nakuru reserve and Masai Mara.
Our guide Phillip fulfilled every expectations you could imagine. He was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and explaining to us all the details behind that animal. He has a wealth of knowledge and he also likes to play some trivia games with you while in the car.
We were lucky enough to see the Big Five - Phillip spotting skills were so amazing we got to see two leopards in two different parks. Also we got some rare findings as cheetah and a pack of African wild dogs!!!!
Victor, our booking consultant, was absolutely amazing. Communication was flawless, without any issues, and he helped us create a perfectly tailored itinerary.
We enjoyed an unforgettable 7 days full of safari, education, and learning a lot about the local life of the natives. We highly recommend Meektrails and would gladly return for another adventure!

fantastic journey! warmly kindly
We are LIJIA and SIYUE, two girls from China, we were sincerely wanna thank you for guiding our three-day safari tour. Thanks for taking care of our itinerary with warmth like a father and provide assistance for our future plans , so we have written this letter, hope you can see this, and also share those info for the same needs person, We strongly recommend our guide Mike, he is super nice !
As two Chinese girls who are visiting Africa for the first-time crossed the entire hemisphere ,we know less for this country’s people. There’s always have some concern for our safari tour. In our country, people tend to have cautious and conservative altitude for outside-country tour, so we feel really nerves at the beginning when we landed. However, after our guide Mike arrived, he friendly greeted us, took the initiative to pick up our luggage to help us to put it on the car in order to let us relaxed. Then Mike specially called the platform and putting me on speakerphone to let them knew we were safe, (This is because mike was not the earliest contact), Mike warmly introduced Nairobi for us, throughout the process, Mike was very patience and humble, with polite altitude, he told us different culture. When he heard us need sim cards, but the people nearby sim card shops would take half an hours unless, he help us get it by other ways.
Those Mike’s behaviors let us increase safety feeling for Nairobi, and become kinda could enjoyed our trip.
Mike pays great attention to details!
From check in, transportation arrangement, Mike would wait for us all the things be down, caring us all the unlike others, tell us what was in the lodge, usually, like us, small groups tourists, we might not catch on time so precisely, mike would gave us patient, not to push us, reminds us times up frequently, this keeps our space feel not rush. And also is an mainly good manner for us,
There’s one more details!
After the end of this trip, our outbound trip was DIY and we didn't have anyone pick us up for the second trip. MIKE heard that we were going to cross the border alone, he could have delivered us to the designated location and left because it wasn't his job, but MIKE didn’t! he chose to stay, not to leaves and ensure every necessary procedures and transit arrangement, even helped us booked a car etc tried to make all the arrangements were properly arranged before leaving, all because of Mike’s sense of responsibility and kindness, we really thank him, we may not have been able to travel from Kenya to Tanzania so smoothly
During our whole tour, what Mike shows to us, politely. Friendly kindly and thoughtfully, all those impressed us deeply, especially, its not easy to make a plan for Africa safari. We sincerely thank Mike gave us such a unforgettable trip, hoping more ppl can came and joining this safari tour too,
Thanks Mike

Excellent
Fabulous experience, from the ever-patient Irvy who arranged our safari and also adjusted my safari and answered my endless questions, to the pickup as arranged and the safari itself. Our guide and driver, Peter was knowledgeable about the animals and the safari parks, very accommodating to what we wanted to see and absolutely outstanding in making sure we managed to see everything up close; he is an incredible driver and guide. We did see the big 5 and so much more, it was an absolutely once in a lifetime experience. Kenya is so beautiful - the animals, landscape and people. Peter always ensured our comfort and has an absolutely infectious laugh, thank you Peter. Safaris are not cheap, but Keshi tours offered the most affordable option for us and didn't scrimp on the comfort, and we saw absolutely everything we hoped for and so much more. Highly recommend!

The man who created a fairy tale for us
I almost never write reviews, but for all the work Daniel has done, this is the least I can do for him. When I was choosing Ethiopia, I found quite a few travel agencies to whom I wrote a list of places I wanted to visit. And Daniel was the only one who described in great detail all the places to visit and why they should be visited; approached our desires individually; did not offer trivial tourist routes; and told us about some subtleties that no one else told us about. Daniel completely freed us from any worries about moving around the country, always controlled the situation and resolved any difficulties that arose or our desires. For our trip, Daniel selected an incredible team, to whom we are also very grateful. In each region, we were met by local guides who provided us with a sense of safety, knew everything and organized colorful routes for us, thanks to which we were able to see the unique beauty of Ethiopia. In each tribe we were met by a local guide who knew everyone there, which allowed us to delve into the life and culture of the tribes.
One of the main desires was to attend the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and Daniel advised us to celebrate this holiday not in the capital, but in Lalibela. And we believe that his suggestion was 100% correct. The spectacle was very impressive, we are very glad that we were able to be here. He knew the best places to stand to really enjoy the festival in honor of the holiday, and also personally conducted 2 days of excursions to the temples of the city, told in detail and showed unique places.
Thanks to Daniel, we traveled all over Ethiopia (Turmi, Jinka, Abra Minch, Lalibela, Addis-Ababa, Danakil Depression and Simien Mountains), visited the most amazing and unique places on the planet, saw things we couldn't even dream of, lived in the most beautiful places, experienced a whole kaleidoscope of emotions and received an incredible number of the warmest and most unforgettable emotions and impressions. Because of this, we fell in love with Africa and now dream of visiting more than one country. The only thing I regret is that Daniel only works in Ethiopia.

Above & beyond Safari.
I have travelled to Kenya & Tanzania on many occasions, with different guides. Safaris are my thing.
Since meeting Mohammed a few years ago, I always now travel with Aquila Safaris.
Mohammeds vast knowledge of the flora & fauna is amazing, and makes for a fantastic safari.
As an accomplished photographer, he can also help you get that "perfect shot".
Accomodation is as suggested by Mohammed, but ultimately your choice, and has always been very good.
Nothing is too much trouble.
Every little detail is taken care of.
In my view "Above and Beyond " is how I would describe Mohammed & Aquila Safaris.
I will return again and again.

Only the most professional and accommodating you can ask for.
Mt Kenya
I cannot stress enough what an unforgettable experience this trip was. I was blessed to have an amazing team comprised of Samuel, Joseph, and Bonface, with Ibrahim as our fearless driver. We started our journey at Sirimon Gate where Mt Kenya park was celebrating ‘customer appreciation week’ by giving us candy, a rose, and fed us cake. After lunch, Samuel and I began our journey up to Old Moses campground and enjoyed a wonderful dinner made by Joseph and Bonface. The meals were always filling and plentiful. I never felt hungry, and was always energized for the next stretch of the hike. The following morning we made a long journey through valleys where the view of Mt Kenya was breathtaking. After a long day we made it to Shiptons camp. It was a busy hub for dozens of hikers but I met a lot of amazing people while there. The following morning was a 2am wake up for 3am start to make it for sunrise on Lenana peak. The journey was challenging and chilly, but seeing the clear sky with infinite stars above us was motivation enough to keep trekking upward. Once on the peak, the view is one that cannot be replicated. A beautiful panorama of mountains as far as the eye can see. We were lucky to have a clear morning where the visibility was in our favor. After snapping a few photos we started back down as we had a long day of descent down the mountain all the way to Anabas lodge. There, the team enjoyed some drinks at the bar, shared one final dinner together, and swapped hiking stories. The next morning we packed up after breakfast and made the drive back. My team certainly made my experience one that I will never forget and I will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you Phine Safaris for organizing this trip. And thank you again to Samuel, Bonface, Joseph, and Ibrahim for making dozens of memories with me. I’ll see you next time.
