Unforgettable Safari: Nature, Luxury, and Exceptional Service with Meektrails Safaris
We recently returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari trip in Kenya with Meektrails Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, everything was perfect.
Communication with our consultant Diana was exceptional. She was incredibly helpful, providing timely answers to all our questions and ensuring we were well-prepared for our adventure. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and we loved the bright orange water bottles and safari hats they gave us as presents.
The accommodations they booked for us were amazing—much better than the pictures they had sent us! We were consistently impressed with the quality and comfort of each place we stayed. Meektrails Safaris' presence and network in the parks were evident, as we saw their vehicles everywhere. Their network was even instrumental in helping my friend retrieve her teddy bear that she had forgotten at one of the national parks. We are very grateful for that!
A special shoutout to our guide, Antony, who has 26 years of experience as a safari tour guide. Antony was humorous, easy-going, and highly professional. His incredible ability to track animals without walkie-talkies, relying solely on his keen eyesight, was truly impressive. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five. Not only did we see rhino families up close, but we also spotted a rare leopard—something many of our friends who visited Kenya never experienced.
Overall, our time with Meektrails Safaris was outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience in Kenya!

Incredible service, everything was perfect
Lydia was our point of contact for the safari. She was very helpful from the very early stages when we were trying to customise our safari to the end with fully delivered service. The iternary was very customisable and we were able together to curve out a plan that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli and then Zanzibar in 10 days. Everything ran smoothly to perfection. Whenever we had questions, before and during the safari she always replied promptly and she was willing to help. I believe the trip was value for money, at no point I felt like I wasn't getting my money's worth. We chose the budget options for accommodation which was totally fine in terms of cleanness and the staff were very helpful. Our driver Anthony in our game drives was amazing, knowledgable and fun! Totally recommend Uncut safaris!

The most amazing experience!
I have never done any travel like this, but our guide, Chris, made us feel so safe. He made sure we were settled and comfortable at each hotel we stayed at. The hotels were amazing, too! All of the accommodations were above and beyond what I was expecting. As safari trips go, this was extremely affordable. Our guide, Chris, made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see and gave us an adventure of a lifetime! I wish we could have a Chris with us on ever trip! :)

An amazing tour
We booked our three day safari tour with Lavender's help. Lavender was very responsive, responded to all my questions through WhatsApp, and sent over all the necessary information for me to feel comfortable booking. We went to the bus terminal at JNB to await pickup, and the driver was on time and very professional. During the five ish hour drive from JNB out to Hoedspruit we stopped a couple times for bathroom breaks. The ride was very smooth, we were with one other couple that was staying at a different location. We stayed at the Radisson in Hoedpruit and it was so lovely. The hotel was new, clean, and had beautiful views from the pool area and our room's patio. We were very comfortable at the Radisson and the restaurant and bar were nice. We did an afternoon safari at Modlito Private Game reserve, a full day safari at Kruger, and an early morning safari at Modlito Private Game reserve. The safaris were excellent, we saw elephants, giraffes, impala, zebra, baboons, rhinos, hippos, and more. We had paid to do the full day safari as a private tour, but due to scheduling we ended up doing all our safaris as private drives. The trackers and drivers were all excellent. We had the best time. I was very pleased with how professional everything was. I highly recommend booking your safari tour through MoAfrika.

Once in a lifetime experience
Fiona and her team organised for us an incredible trip. Communication was open and reliable, we paid a fair price and the tour was truly unforgettable.
Our guide Antony was knowledgeable and friendly, he truly made sure we saw as much as was possible on the trip. We felt safe and looked after throughout our safari. Food and accommodation was as described, and people throughout our trip were incredibly helpful and always friendly.

5 days Amazing Safari in Mikumi and Selous
This was actually my first experience with African Vista, and it was just as amazing! The experience was perfect - the process was seamless, from organizing the trip at home and being there. The accommodations both in Mikumi and Selous were great, and our guide Richard was quite the safari expert! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience and will be passing them along to any family member or friend who wants to do a future Tanzanian safari!

Great safari trip! Our only regret is that it was only 1 week :)
We had a great "once in a lifetime" trip with Great Escape Trails, including 1 day Tarangire, 1 day Lake Natron, 3 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro Crater and 1 day Lake Manyara. We picked this tour after a lot of filtering on safaribookings.com and definitely have no regrets! The pricing was fair and competitive and the program was great.
Most importantly, Thom was a very good and pleasant guide! During our trip in Serengeti, 2 other safari vehicles got stuck in the mud, but with Thom this is very unlikely to happen, given his 20+ years of experience. He is a very responsible driver and was also actively helping the other drivers in need. Moreover, he had a lot to tell about the local nature and culture, always with humor. Aside from Thom, we met 2 other guides from Great Escape Trails, who also gave a good impression.
The communication for arranging the safari may be somewhat unclear at times. Still, everything will work out fine. Hakuna matata, you will not be scammed. :) Based on our experience, you will have a great holiday!

More than Safaris!
I have used Blue Mountain Trekking (BMT) for other services multiple times and, I without a doubt, plan to continue using Ann and her team going forward. I travel into Uganda and Kenya, and BMT has provided roadworthy vehicles and trustworthy drivers for my travel adventures. If there is something I need local insight into, I contact Ann, and she is always willing to assist and help where needed. Ann and her team have gone out of their way multiple times to make sure I have had what I needed, and more so. BMT is truly a trustworthy company with a desire to go above and beyond. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your experience, for whatever you hire BMT for, just contact Ann (owner) and she will do all she is able to make sure things are made right and you are satisfied with your experience.

Sangeeta was brilliant in helping me plan a small group safari to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. She understood my vision and her operations team executed the logistics flawlessly. Shout out to Malvika who handled a few last minute requests with no problem. I will definitely use Chalo next time I go to Africa (already dreaming about that!)
