Amazing safari through Tanzania
We got to see all the big five and see not just multiple parks, but stayed in some very lovely hotels. Tarimo, our safari guide, was exceptional and we loved getting to know him and his knowledge over a 5 day safari. Also loved we got to incorporate a couple days at Mt Kilimanjaro! Unique and creative tour

Safari dream come true
Our journey began with sourcing through a few safari tour providers. (They're many!) What gave me alot of confidence with Jocky was how clear and responsive they were with their details. As I was planning ahead, they were also open to specific modifications that I wanted.
They picked us up from the airport and upon full payment, David was our guide and driver for the following 4 days. He's a great guide, with plenty of knowledge to share, a laid back vibe and great sense of humour too. Really felt confident in him taking us for this adventure.
Fortune smiled as well during our tour as David navigated us to spot all 5 of the 'must see' animals. Overall a wonderful experience that I'll remember.

Jupicon Expeditions provided an exceptional introduction to my Kenya adventure and I recommend them for your own experience!
George, a friendly and professional guide, crafted a two-day itinerary for me. He patiently guided me through the planning process, providing prompt and insightful responses that put me at ease. This allowed me the freedom to make changes to the plan until I was completely satisfied.
On the first day, George was my guide and arrived at my hotel punctually. He let me pace myself during each activity, genuinely delighted by my enjoyment. I thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the Fairview Coffee Estate, an informative walking tour of bustling Nairobi, and the off-the-beaten-path Museum of Illusions.
The following day, I joined a group tour to Nairobi National Park, where I witnessed a diverse array of animals, including a lion! I also visited the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where I saw 12 adorable baby elephants and learned their stories of perseverance.
The day concluded with a tour of the Giraffe Center.

Great and varied tour of Uganda.
We had a great 16-day Pearl of Africa tour of Uganda. Very good, helpful and knowledgable driver/guide. Excellent 'budget' accommodations in and supporting local communities.
Varied activities.

Excellent Safari Experience with Meektrails!
Choosing Meektrails for my Kenya trip was the best decision ever. The entire trip was smoothly organized, and the stays they booked were excellent.
Huge thanks to Diana for her brilliant itinerary coordination and planning. Being a solo traveler, I was a bit apprehensive initially, but she assured me that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. She was incredibly helpful, attentive to what I wanted, and ensured everything was perfectly tailored and stress-free.
My deepest gratitude goes out to my guide, Paul. He is incredibly skilled and deeply knowledgeable about the wilderness. His tracking abilities are unmatched—he knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife sightings, making every single game drive unforgettable.
Highly recommend Meektrails for anyone wanting a perfect safari experience!

They were super reliable, always on time, gave us great advice, and honestly just felt really safe.
Honestly couldn't fault them. They looked after us from start to finish, kept us safe, and were so well organised. They were also incredibly accommodating when we needed to make a couple of last-minute tweaks to the plan

Seamless from start to finish, an amazing guide, and a truly unforgettable safari!
We’ve just returned from an 8-day safari with Meru Slopes, and it was everything we’d hoped for. Almachius made booking easy and was happy to build a custom trip around us, taking in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. From pickup everything ran smoothly.
Our guide and driver, Nuru, made the week! The kind of person you’re genuinely glad to share a car with for seven days. He knows the region inside out, from trees and birds to wildlife, and went above and beyond at every turn: a superb driver with a sharp eye for spotting, who kept the car spotless and tidy each day. He clearly works with photographers a lot too, and we hugely appreciated how he’d find us the best position, light and background for the animals; and being so well connected with the other guides, he always knew exactly where they’d be.
The lodges were all excellent, but the Signature Luxury Tents in the Serengeti were our favourite, waking up to lions and zebra calling nearby was unforgettable. Thank you to Meru Slopes, Almachius and the team, and a massive special thanks to Nuru, who we feel very lucky to have had as our guide.

Knowledgeable and skilled, and excellent at taking care of us.
Mafie went out of their way to not only make sure we got exactly what we were looking for, but a great experience as well. Mafie is run by experienced locals, and therefore is small enough to work with your individual needs, but also able to scale up as well. We did a combination Kilimanjaro summit followed by a 5 day safari. In the end, we found that we got what the larger groups offered, but at a better price, and without cutting corners. They just know their craft. We even gave them a few last-minute itinerary changes, and they handled them like a champ.
