Absolutely amazing, worth it, and very dependable and trustworthy for the best safari experience.
We cannot give a good enough review to Meektrails for such and amazing experience! They welcomed us with gifts, and the team came to meet us personally on the first day.
A big thank you and utmost appreciation for Elud who was our trip consultant, who perfectly curated the trip and answered all our questions to make us feel at ease and made our honeymoon feel special, and even gave us extras at no added cost, and for Joseph, our amazing tour guide, who made every moment fun and invigorating.
Everything was perfectly planned and executed and all our needs were taken care of to the fullest and our tour guide, Joseph made sure we were always comfortable. To be honest, we felt uneasy before we booked it, as it was our first time travelling alone but our tour guide really made us feel so safe and at ease throughout. He would always keep a watch out for us and make sure we are safe when in the parks and even when outside of the car for stops on the journey.
Joseph treated us like his own family from the start, always welcoming us on every single day and making sure all our requests were taken care of. Whether it was a toilet break, or to take pictures somewhere, or even to stop at different souvenir shops, he would always accommodate our requests promptly! He was so knowledgeable about everything in the Kenyan nature, from the animals to the plants to even mountains and rivers and how they were formed. He would always encourage curiosity and taught us so much and so many interesting things about animals we didn't know. He was very understanding and sweet and he was honestly the best guide we could have asked for. His driving skills were top notch always very calm, and he always delivered on the safaris with 20 years of experience, finding even the rare animals like rhino's and cheetahs and making sure we have a complete and exciting experience.
Regarding the safari itself, it was very well planned and allowed us to explore the diversity of Kenya Landscape and animals. We did a 6 day safari starting with amboselli, then lake naivasha and lake nakuru, and then masai mara. This safari did prove to be quite fast paced and most of the days included drives, so I would recommend reducing the number of locations or increasing the number of days. All the lodges they booked for us were very comfortable to stay in, with friendly staff and amazing food.
Amboselli had the beautiful landscape of Mount kilimanjaro and very diverse wildlife in the park including lions, elephants, buffalos, zebras, impalas etc. Lake naivasha was our favorite and boat safari and walking safari there as they were truly surreal, seeing hippos up close on the boat and walking very close to animals like zebras, wildebeest, and even girrafes really made us feel like we are in the wild. Masai Mara was the most excting experience with frequently seeing lions and cheetahs as if they were just any other animal, and crocodiles on the mara river.
This was actually my wife and I's honeymoon, and Meektrails really made it feel special. A special thank you to them! They arranged special arrangements with all the hotels where our rooms had welcoming decorations and even some treats. And they even upgraded us for FREE from our original booked camp to a luxury one in Masai Mara for the occasion! This really made our honeymoon feel extra special and was so very kind of Meektrails and the Zebra camps in Masai Mara.
I highly highly recommend Meektrails as the guide if you are travelling to Kenya. You will not regret choosing them and they will truly give you an unforgettable experience! Kenya is a beautiful country and their Safari showed us the beauty of the country and made us explore so many diverse landscapes and wildlife.
I really don't think my words justify how great the experience was, but thank you Meektrails! And I hope whoever is reading this review gets to have the same rewarding experience.

A reliable, professional tour operator offering well-organized and memorable safari experiences.
Triplink Safaris provided excellent communication from booking to the end of the tour. The service was professional, reliable, and great value for money. The itinerary was well planned, and the overall safari experience exceeded expectations. I would confidently recommend them to other travelers.

Fantastic experience with a amazing guide
It was a very good value for money. We went on a 4 day tour and have been able to see everything we wanted and even more. We seen the big and ugly 5. And because we went in the calving season we have seen a lot of baby's.
My favorite animal is the hippo and our guide went to it first thing when we where in the Crater and stayed there as long as i wanted. Really an incredible experience!!

I compared several operators and chose this Ngorongoro one-day tour for its best price. They arrived on time, we saw many animals, and they helped spot lions and a rhino. They even returned an item left in the car responsibly. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend
We had an amazing time on our Kenya safari with Back of Africa Adventure. The reservation process was seamless, Allan responded quickly to all our questions, helping us plan our trip. We chose a 7‑day safari, staying in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. All the lodges were very good, with spacious, clean rooms (tents), and great food and amenities; Sarova Mara Game Camp was our absolute favorite.
Alex, our guide and driver, made the entire experience exceptional. He is a highly skilled driver and very knowledgeable about wildlife and Kenyan history. He handled rough terrain effortlessly, bringing us close to lions, elephants, and many other wildlife. Throughout the trip, he was attentive to our every need and made sure we had the best possible experience.
A key part of the safari is the vehicle, and Alex’s powerful Toyota Land Cruiser made a huge difference. Its high clearance and powerful engine allowed him to navigate very rough terrain with ease, getting us close to the wildlife safely. We saw many older, smaller jeeps struggling - and even one that got stuck - so having the right vehicle is a major advantage.
In Amboseli, we went on a sunrise nature walk with a Maasai guide, which was an amazing highlight. We were able to get remarkably close to giraffes, gazelles, baboons, and even an elephant.
We absolutely loved our trip and highly recommend Back of Africa Adventure. A big thank‑you to Alex and Allan for giving us unforgettable memories.

Absolutely amazing
I traveled with my old pals. I was contacted by the Chinese agent, Felix, who was very responsive in answering everything, even helping me out when my outbound flight got canceled. The local guide Eric is the best. He was very polite, punctual, careful, and knowledgeable. He kept the car very clean every day, and drive us around explaining not just the big five but everything we encountered, including little chameleon crossing the road, trees, birds. We absolutely enjoyed the game drive with him. We were also very impressed with the hotel/camp arrangement; no worries about hot water or WiFi… not to say cleanness. Everything is top notch. We would happily recommend it to everyone and come back with Gilmag next time.

Excellent service by Pallid Safaris
My parents and I traveled to Amboseli for 3 days and 2 nights. The tour was organised by Wanja who maintained good communication from the beginning and even came to see us off the morning we went to Amboseli. The tour was very well organised with airport transfers to our hotel and back. In Amboseli we saw different animals and our driver and tour guide, Francis, explained many things to us about the wildlife we saw. It was absolutely amazing to see the animals woth Kilimanjaro in the in the morning with snow at the peak. All in all an excellent time away from home.

Incredible safari experience with guide Brighton of Buyaga Safaris!
From the very beginning, Peter was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The pdf itinerary was very clear and detailed. The only slow response came when Uganda’s internet blacked out after the most recent election, which was completely outside of their control. We chose Buyaga Safaris because of the competitive pricing compared to other safari operators we had considered. When we arrived in Uganda, we met our guide Brighton, who picked us up promptly at our hostel. We feel very lucky to have had him as our safari guide, as he was friendly, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable about Uganda’s wildlife, history, and culture. He safely took us from place to place while staying very calm throughout the journey. It was the trip of a lifetime! We truly enjoyed trekking for chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys and seeing the other wildlife along the way. The hotels we were booked at were clean and comfortable with delicious meals and kind staff. We will be recommending Buyaga Safaris to all our friends and family!
