Friendly Safari Company
Green Places Adventure is the best safari firm. Jane was very attentive to our request and very fast which we made on a short notice before our safari. She was very kind to make necessary changes that we required. Lawi was our guide throughout our vacation. He went his way to make sure that we had the best position of viewing wild animals. Lawi had more knowledge of wildlife and traditions of Kenya. Trust Green Places Adventures to organize holidays for you. They are amazing!

Professional and responsible
We organised a 6 days private safari with Shengena adventures.
The organised, Mike, was always available for any question or to solving any problem we faced, either before booking the trip or during the safari. We were totally satisfied with all his arrangements.
Our guide, Mr. Makundi, made the trip the best experience possible. He was trying his best to satisfy our wishes in the bush. He was knowledgeable, responsible and very friendly.
I definitely contact them for our next trip to Tanzania.

Amazing experience!
Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the 3-day mikumi national park tour with going green safari! Lenny (tour operator from going green safari) en ladislaus (guide in the national park) are both very kind, friendly and realiable men. Lenny has a lot of great connections and is willing to help you with anything. For example, he helped us with arranging a flight from Mikumi to Zanzibar just the night before we left, which was a great experience. Ladislaus knew a lot about the animals en where to find them. Very experienced and a great driver. All in all, would definitely recommand!

Jeff was the best operator one could wish for! Expert with animals and the roads, funny & patient <3
Overall experience was amazing, we had an amazing Operator Jeff and his 4x4 named «Spy girl » drove us really easily through the Safari. We got in advance all Infos about the tour and there are possibilities to upgrade Hotels.
We had the Chance to do different Safaris, in 4x4 (Masai Mara & Nakuru), Boat (Naivasha) and bicycle (Hell’s Gate). Nakuru was for me a bit less impressive than the rest.
We felt really safe during the whole tour - just make sure not to go out alone in the Masai at 12am as you might hear Hyenas really close by ;-). Every hotels were clean, and people gentle, and we had own showers and toilets everywhere. The Mara Lenchada Camp was a bit more Basic than the rest, but ok for 2 nights.
All people were gentle during the tour.
I totally recommand it for the price.
Thank you so much Jeff for this amazing experience.

Outstanding
We got a few offers from different operators and leasure escapes was by far the most professional proposal for timeliness, details and visual representation. First I wondered if they would put a price premium for the professional visual offer but actually it was the most competitive among the offers that we got. Later I had to change a few things like dates and upgrade to a better category etc which was quite smooth and professional. The tour was well organized and everything was inline with plan, no surprises. We were happy with our accomodation choices and the tour guide/driver was always on time and flexible to accomodate our needs. Highly recommended. Thanks

Honest, Reliable, Dependable, Detailed Oriented, Professional, Knowledgeable,
Sedrick was fantastic to work with from the moment I sent him an email and then having various phone conversations to create our custom two week itinerary in Uganda and Kenya. He is detailed orientated, keeps track of you during your international travels and adventure which made me feel confident and secure everything would go well or be taken care of along the way! In addition, he was able to accommodate an usual request to drive me to the family I am sponsoring three children through school in a village off the beaten path. He help made a “dream” come true. It was amazing. I felt safe and secure with his drivers/guides the entire two weeks. His drivers were great drivers especially since many of the roads are dirt, mud and potholes. Both our Ugandan and Kenyan guides spoke great English, were dependable, professional, knowledgeable and easy to be with. They made our experience safe and enjoyable. Sedrick is honest and trustworthy! There is no guarantee who you are working with when making plans half way across the world and not knowing who you are getting on the internet! I would highly recommend Ngoni Safaris without a doubt!!!

The unforgettable experience!!
It was a wonderful 6 days. The game drive in the vast grassland was an unforgettable memory. Our guide, Andrew(Kamau) was friendly and so attentive. He drove carefully so we could see animals well and had a lot of knowledge about animals and geography. And he was our best Swahilis teacher. :) Kenya has become a special country because of him and Moran. I hope to visit again soon. I highly recommend Moran tours !! Asante sana, MORAN !

Very good safari
We had a very good experience doing safari with Meektrails.
We fully recommend our guide Samwell who does his best to make the experience go as smoothly as possible.
We took a package including Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara, all three locations are very good.
The hotels were all excellent including the food, especially the Masai Mara one, however, the Nakuru one, even though is very good, is too remote.
Our advice would be to discuss all details prior to the safari to tailor the experience to your tastes, Meektrails Safaris are available to discuss/change any points as needed.
What we would do different:
- Take a Jeep not a minivan; even though it's more expensive, it's worth it seeing the time you spend in it and the quality of the roads.
- At Zebra lodge, for an extra fee, you can have a Savannah side lodge which has a view on the animals directly instead of a hillside lodge
- Be sure to go at a time where there are no chance of rain, we had a few hurdles due to unexpected rain for the season.
- Take more days in Masai Mara (we had 1 day/game drive)
Overall we highly recommend Meektrails and especially Samwell!
the +:
- Samwell our guide, who is very professional and kind
- Zebra lodge hotel in Masai Mara
the -:
- The Masai village visit was too rushed and very expensive (not included in the price)
Wonderful Serengeti safari
We just came back from a wonderful safari experience. Paul was great at organising everything and the Suricata team were wonderful. Our guide was Max and he was brilliant, so much knowledge about the animals! We didn’t expect much in terms of the food but our chef Salim really went the extra mile and cooked incredible meals throughout our stay. Overall the trip was just perfect, highly recommend!
