Well curated with solid lodging and even better game drives; great experience
This was my second experience with Meektrails as a safari outfit. Being our second trip, we wanted to add a bit of variety over the prior trip and opted for a 10 day safari going from Samburu, to Ol Pejeta, to Masai Mara and finishing up the trip with a stop in Naivasha and Amboseli.
Each location was fantastic with incredibly friendly staff and accommodations, but ultimately it was all about the game drives and opportunities for wildlife viewings and that's where our guide/driver came in.
We had James for both of our trips and the guy has proven to be an absolute legend each time. He was happy to accommodate our schedules (as a wildlife photographer, I wanted a few earlier mornings to catch the sunrise/golden hour) and his ability to find and spot wildlife was unmatched. I left this trip with some of the best photos I've ever taken and it wouldn't have been possible without his skills both behind the wheel and what he was able to spot and see.
If you're thinking about picking a photography oriented safari, Meektrails is a great option. To see the type of wildlife viewing potential there is to be had on one of these safaris you can check out my website: www.simonmillerphotography.com where I have shots from both trips.
The only room for improvement I would say for Meektrails would be in communications leading up to the tour date. Just a quick check-in message or email to notify and confirm arrivals, etc as well as an updated or current copy of the itinerary would go a long way to reassure and stoke excitement/anticipation in clients .

Jabu and Cuthbert made our trip so special
Thank you for arranging such a memorable trip for our family. We have just arrived back in the UK and I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks to Njabulo and Cuthbert for the great care they took to keep us all safe and for all their hard work to ensure that we had the experience of a lifetime in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
As you hopefully already know, Njabulo is supremely talented guide, teacher and communicator and I feel very lucky to have had someone with his passion, experience and skill for our trip. He was always on hand to take care of us all, and help head-off or smooth any bumps in the road. I especially appreciate his help to ensure that my wife was able to enjoy gluten-free food throughout the trip - something I still marvel at given the remoteness of some of our locations. And I am indebted to the chefs at the various lodges, hotels and boat to have been able to produce such excellent food - even better than is sometimes on offer in the heart of Oxford here in the UK.
Thanks also to Cuthbert for his skilful driving and endlessly positive attitude. He and Njabulo are the dream team. I truly look forward to returning one day to experience more of these great countries in their company, and wouldn’t want anyone else to be our guide or driver.

Great value and most professional
Wildlife Safaris was professional from the time of booking to the conclusion of our trip. They provided an excellent service exactly as described in their tour package. Our tour guide, Anthony “Hoppy” Hawell was a punctual, patient and knowledgeable guide, who knew about all the birds and flora in the park. He made our tour a very pleasant and memorable experience. We are so grateful for having him have as our tour guide!
Outstanding, Promised Land went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable safari.
I recently had the privilege of going on a safari with Promised Land Tours, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that we had a seamless and unforgettable adventure.
The guide Dismas was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the wildlife but also about the landscapes and the local culture. He would often spot things I would miss and immediately bring them to my attention. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic experience and I managed to see the big five, as well as the Great Migration of wildebeests from Kenya to Tanzania. We were able to get up close to animals in their natural habitat, and every day was filled with breathtaking moments.
I can't recommend Promised Land enough for anyone looking to experience the magic of the African wilderness. Whether you're an avid wildlife enthusiast or a first-time safari-goer, they will make sure you have the trip of a lifetime!

We did three safari tours with Professional Safari. Our expectations were far exceeded. Modi, our guide, was extremely experienced and always took our wishes into account. We were able to collect many unforgettable impressions and would recommend Professional Safari to everyone.

2 days Safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater
We enjoyed the safari very much. Our guide Ronaldo was really professional guide and excellent driver. He was able to answer all our questions and explain everything and even lunch was amazing:-) We enjoyed a lot of fun with him.
It should be stated better that it is expected be in Arusha one day prior safari but the agency tried to satisfy us in all matters.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE IN TANZANIA
This trip of mine to Tanzania is one of the most beautiful and powerful experiences of my life. Amani played a decisive role in this with the Kalulu Safaris team. He organized us a private safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro (and yes, we saw all the big 5 animals of Africa 😁), a beautiful hike in the foothills of Kilimanjaro ending at an imposing waterfall (materuni), along with a coffee presentation, as well as volunteering at a school near Moshi. He is extremely kind and flexible and with a wide range of suggestions, which is why we were able to come up with what suited us and we could support financially as well. But what made the big difference, is that Amani was there for us for the entire time we stayed in Arusha (we stayed for 12 days), keeping us in mind, guiding us and showing us the life of the locals and this made us feel more familiar in this already beautiful country with wonderful people. I loved Tanzania and will definitely be back at some point. Amani, thank you for everything. You are wonderful ❤️
We are waiting for you in Athens😍
