Unbelievable service and amazing hospitality
In short, if you are looking for safari planning, look no further! Ker and Downy will not only deliver, they will exceed your expectations and take care of every single detail. We have just returned from a 14 day trip to South Africa which included Cape town as well as 6 day safari in the Greater Kruger area. Our travel agent Emma Perrin who planned our very first safari to Tanzania planned this trip for my 50th birthday with my husband almost 3 years ago, but due to Covid we had to push our trip to now. Her attention to detail and understanding of what we need is like no other. She knew exactly what we were looking for. In every single location, she got us the best deals she could find and our accommodations as well as safari trips were beyond our expectations. We stayed in multiple locations, and throughout the trip, Emma, Sarah and Peter stayed in touch wih us via whatsapp. Our son lost his passport 6 days in to the trip, and Emma also helped us get him a new passport without really changing any of our plans, which was truly a miracle. Every single person we met on the trip left an impression on us and we know that we are now completely hooked on to traveling with Ker and Downy. It is just going to be a matter of time before we start planning our next trip with them :)

Highly recommended!
We are a young couple from Germany in their 30s. We just came back from a 16 days safari in Kenya with unforgettable memories. We saw more than 30 lions - saw them mating and eating, saw lion cubs playing. We also saw several leopards and cheetahs, hundreds of elephants, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, hyenas, birds etc. We also saw thousands of wildebeasts in the Masai Mara, we also saw them crossing the mara river as part of the great migration – what an unforgettable experience! Kenya is really great for seeing wildlife, especially Masai Mara is a must do.
Our guide and driver Daniel, owner of Meektrails Safaris, showed us his home county. From planning to conducting, all was excellent. Communication with Daniel in advance was good and easy. He always replied prompt to all our questions and realized all our suggestions. All choosen accommodations were good, some were pretty incredible – imagine swimming in a pool while watching elephants drinking an bathing in a waterhole or watching leopards while having dinner.
Daniel has many years of experience as a tourist guide. Daniel is a friendly guy, who really loves his job.He is also a passionate photographer and while on safari he always positions the car in a way that great shots are possible. While travelling through Kenya Daniel drove us safe through the changing countryside.
For more information you can visit the Meektrails Safaris homepage, Instagram and Facebook Page. The best way to get in touch is to write Daniel a message on Whatsapp or an email.
Meektrails Safaris has a good price-performance ratio. We paid for the entire tour in advance by bank transfer. That worked without any problems. Meektrails Safaris is reliable and trustworthy.
Due to the ongoing corona pandemic, the hotels and national parks are less crowded. We had a great time in Kenya despite the pandemic. We always felt safe.

Ryan and Thale were warm, extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and simply amazing!
I found Wild Planet Safari in my attempt to surprise my wife for her birthday. I reached out to a number of places for quotes, but Wild Planet Safari wrote back in a very detailed and comforting way. They were patient with me as I tried to figure out the best experience for my family and I. I brought my wife and 4 children and we had the experience of a lifetime! Ryan and Thale were very accommodating. They went out of there way to accommodate our dietary restrictions. They made my wife's bday really special. They made sure to find activities that were family friendly, and the safari itself was just amazing. Ryan and Thale are experts and extremely knowledgeable about the environment, history, and wildlife. I'd highly recommend this company to any who are looking for a South African safari. As an added bonus, it was all VERY affordable. We'll be back for round 2!

Exactly what we were looking for. Better than hoped for.
Because of this pandemic we had to change the dates of this safari several times. This was never a problem for the organisation. All communication about tour, changes, payments, lodges happened via email and WhatsApps. Very easy and fast communication. Excellent guide: helpfull in any way, punctual, discrete, hygienic about his car and himself. We went to Tsavo East and West, past trough Lumo conservancy and visited Amboseli. Saw many, many animals and very few other tourists. Lodges were very well placed with spacious tents and bathrooms. This was not our first safari, but definitively one not to forget about. The sundowner offered by the company with mount Kilimanjaro in the back was a highly appreciated surprise. Another plus is the way Fika safaris organised the PCR testing at the end: mini bus with nurse came to the restaurant where we were invited to a lunch! We enjoyed this trip very very much.

Our tour guides Jef (Kenya) and Fred (Tanzania) were fantastic and made our Safari one to remember.
From the start, working with Rajab via email was seamless and he made us feel comfortable booking a 10 day safari in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. He is professional and thought of everything when it came to booking our Safari.
In Kenya our guide was Jef and he did a great job spotting animals in Maasai Mara. He was friendly, respectful and good at his job.
In Tanzania, we were greeted at the boarded by our guide Fred. Fred did an incredible job helping us with the logistics of getting into Tanzania (especially with covid-19 tests playing a factor) and beyond for the remainder of our trip. His personality and friendly demeanor made our time in Tanzania fun. Fred took us to Serengeti National Park as well as Ngorongoro Crater.
Because of our guides and the planning expertise of Rajab, we will absolutely be booking another trip with RajaTours in the future.

A great Mokoro Boattrip
We were picked up from our accommodation and drove to the starting point of our mokoro boat tour. We saw many elephants standing and eating in the water. It was exciting that the elephants blocked the canal several times and we had to avoid overland. There were wonderful pictures possible of the animals and of our evasive maneuvers. On the island we did an interesting bushwalk. Then there was a delicious lunch. The tour was well organized and carried out. Joel and Freddy did a great job. An unforgettable experience, a great day in the delta!

Lifetime Experience with Gorillas
I have never been so excited in my life than during our safari in Uganda. We arrived at the Airport and we were very well received. We stayed in a 5 star-hotel. I was with my family of 5 and the rooms and food was great. The following day, our driver arrived early, provided us with itineraries, and we drove to the airstrip. Throughout our 5 days stay, we experienced so much. We had a driver who was always there to assist us. The Gorilla trekking was the best experience. Bwindi Impenetrable forest is a magical place. Thanks to Dallago Tours for organizing this.
