Unforgettable safari
We booked our Kenya safari with Gadson at Meektrails and it exceeded every expectation. From the first email exchange, Gadson was responsive, patient with our questions, and put together an itinerary covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara that balanced scenery, wildlife diversity, and pacing perfectly.
Our guide Ben was the true star of the trip. His knowledge of animal behavior and the parks meant he consistently got us into position ahead of other vehicles — we were first in line for sighting after sighting. Thanks to his skill (and admittedly a little luck) we saw baby lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and in Nakuru we were lucky enough to spot the rare black rhino. Ben's patience, sharp eyes, and genuine enthusiasm made every game drive feel personal rather than routine.
On our first day in the Masai Mara, our vehicle broke down. Ben immediately called mechanics, who arrived within 40 minutes, while Meektrails sent another guide to pick us up so we didn't lose a minute of game viewing. Even in that moment, it was clear the whole team at Meektrails is made up of true professionals — every guide we worked with, even when it wasn't Ben, was knowledgeable, attentive, and took great care of us throughout the tour.
Every lodge and camp we stayed in across all four parks was excellent: comfortable, well-located rooms, delicious food, and attentive, warm staff who made us feel taken care of throughout.
We couldn't have asked for a better safari. If you're considering Meektrails, ask for Gadson and Ben — you'll be in the best hands. Highly recommend.

The experience was awesome. We were taken care of the whole time. From pick up to drop off. We can’t thank enough either the guide, Jeff. It seemed like he went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience and saw as many animals as possible. In addition he was was a very cool easy going guy, with myself and my son. Which is important since you spend so much time with the guide. Would not recommend enough, I have done multiple safari’s in the past this is the best one by a long shot.
