The best decision I could make
The communication with Bonfire was really smooth and they were able to book my safari with just a couple of days notice. The hotel was even better than expected and so was the guide, who made sure that our experience was the best we could have. Overall they are flexible and the price is very reasonable. If you don't have a Kenyan bank account I recommend you pay in their office instead of making a transfer to avoid issues with payment.

Excellent service
I booked with Maureen. She was great from day one. All my booking was done as promised. Keep it up. Excellent service. You kept your promise.

Great game viewing. Very poor food at main restaurant.
Rich in wildlife. Good viewing of elephants and plenty of other game.
The restaurant was a disappointment with Lack luster service and food quality poor.

Great safari with some wait times
We had a great time on our 7 day Safari in Kenya. Our driver/guide Arony was very good and experienced. He managed to be the first to find the Lions in the Massai Mara, ahead of a lot of other cars. This led to us having a great and quiet view of them. He was also very knowledgable, considerate and funny. So if you can, Arony is your man!
The parks and animals were stunning and an absolute must see. Accomodation in the budget tour is as you can expect very basic. But besides the occasional power outage we felt well taken care of in all of them. Just don't expect wifi everywhere.
The reason why we can't give 5 star is the organisation of the group tour. We had people joining and leaving which is okay, but the way it is planned it leads to annoying wait times. We started the tour very early on the first day just to wait 1.5hours for some stuff they had to fix at the bank in downtown, only to drive back the way we came. Could have slept all this time to be picked up then. The order of our itinerary also was mixed on short notice to pick up another guest which led to us going back to Mai mahiu (1h each way), again time we could have spent exploring or at least comfortably at a hotel instead of bumpy traffic. Lastly our game drive on the last day was cut short to 1 hour instead of 2.5 hours due to a bus schedule of other guests (again something you could mitigate by getting a second car to pick up these guests). I believe this is not the drivers nor the other guests fault, but the organisation from the office. All this accounts to about half a day lost during these 7 days.
So to summarize: The tour is good, Arony was great and the organisation just okay. I guess the good price compensates a bit.

Safari January 2020
We’re happy we did this safari before Covid-19 happened. It was such an amazing experience. All communication before departure was well handled and everything was clearly explained to us. When our family arrived at Kilimanjaro airport we were picked up by Elemes and our kids immediately connected with him. We had a wonderful 6 day safari to Tarangirer, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongroro. The safari went smooth and Elemes really knew how to spot the animals. In Serengeti we got a flat tyre but luckily it did not take more than 30 minutes to fix it. What we loved the most was waking up at Rhino lodge while the zebras were just 20 meters away from us. After safari we spent another week on Zanzibar. I definitely recommend to add some relaxing days because safari can be quite exhausting, especially for kids. It was the perfect combination of bush and beach.

Excellent tour done on schedule with unexpected free hotel upgrade in Masai Mara
Very responsive by WhatsApp
High quality Service
Very nice staff
Price competitive
Everything exceeded expectations but the car driver/guide from Samburu to Masai Mara. I'd rather use local guides with Land Cruisers and also avoid the very long roadtrip. Using air trips exclusively is highly recommended

It was great! I can't wait to visit again.
Working with Wycliffe was great! He was excellent in helping us prepare our trip and Meander Africa Safari's offered a fair and reasonable rate. The driver, Evans, was very professional and did his best to take us around the game park to see everything we could see. Evans is a good spotter, excellent and extra careful driver who ensures all the clients are comfortable and at all times the cruiser was well kept and clean throughout the safari days. His willingness to work with us and provide the refund of the amount we overpaid against the invoiced amount is another reason you know you can trust this company. I would highly recommend using this company for any safari or other booking they offer.
