Wonderful Safari and hospitality Experience in Kenya and Tanzania
We planned our amazing trip in detail with Susan from TWE for our East Africa trip (7 days in Kenya and 7 days in Tanzania). She was very informative and flexible to curate a plan according to our need and requirements. The communication was one on one for the most part and hence we were able to better prepare for our trip.
Planning:
The Safari guides, accommodations, and food arranged were top notch. The planning and transfer between accommodations and national parks were very well organized. At the end of the Kenya part of our trip, TWE helped us with the border crossing formalities(it was a very smooth crossing without ant issues.)
Tanzania part of our Safari was also indirectly catered by TWE with the help of another tour operator in Tanzania. We had more personalized itinerary (which included a few internal flights). The planning and communication was very good between different guides in different areas for us. Any request from our end reg either accommodations or itinerary was very well responded to.
Safari:
We saw so many animals on our first day in Masai Mara, Kenya itself. That set the tone for the rest of our trip. We really had the best co-passengers and safari guide for the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru part of our Safari! Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania is something you don't see anywhere else in the world. Our different guides in different parts of Tanzania were very warm, friendly and professional. It was amazing to see people at work who really love their jobs! Highly recommend chimpanzee trekking in Gombe National Park. It was surreal.
Food:
We were pleasantly surprised with both Kenyan and Tanzanian food. We even enjoyed a 4 course meal at our first 2 days of camp stay in Kenya. In Tanzania, the dedicated cook Erica, who travelled with us during our camp days prepared all types of top-notch cuisines. In Tanzania the lunch at Materuni village was one of the best food we have ever eaten.
Accommodations:
The camps in Kenya are really luxury camps with spacious rooms and cleanest bathrooms. There in electricity, hot water and you can literally stay there for weeks without any hassle. In Tanzania our stay at Chemka Paradise Eco Lodge was very peaceful, We wish we had planned to stay longer there. Be mindful though the camping in Tanzania is actual back-country type of camping with shared bathrooms, which was very different from Kenya. The views make up for the comfort there.
Overall we had a fantastic time! Hope to return one day with more family members!

Very Knowledgeable
Not only was this the best priced package, this company was prompt in getting back to me and stayed in consent contact with me along the way.
Thank you Eluid for your professionalism and answering every single question we had along the way, you had so much patience with us :)
I planned a six night safari for seven of us. It was great that we had a private land cruiser Jeep just for us and that this company was flexible in the itinerary we chose and were able to coordinate for us so smoothly.
Our Safari guide and game driver, Ben was very knowledgeable, professional, patient and so delightful to be with that whole week ;) it truly makes a difference to be with such an experienced driver that was so knowledgeable on the history, landscape and of course the animals that reside in each national park.
I highly recommend Meektrails Safaris, they have the same access to any lodge that high end companies have so they are able to book you at a budget that works for you!
What was proposed is what we got. There were no surprise fees nor any disappointment in our lodges. We truly loved our Safari! Thank you Meektrails Safaris for a once in a life time experience 🙏🏼

Excelled at Meeting My Wants
George is a great guide. I was on a private tour with him for 4 days/3 nights. I am an avid photographer and tend to have wants that are somewhat different than the typical Safari guest. First of all I have done too many safaris to count. Secondly I want to stay at one place longer than most would - waiting for that perfect shot. George was also great at finding great opportunities for once in a lifetime photos.
Everything from the customization of the tour through the execution to my eventual departure for Zambia was perfect. Thank you and I will be looking forward to seeing you again.

Great Experience
We booked a safari for Tanzania with Kilimanjaro Adventure Club. From the Sales person ( Prince) to our guide ( Gerson) to the manager ( Aenea) we had a great experience.
Our baggage was delayed by the airplane , right from coordinating that to making sure we had water, snacks, good daily made fresh meal ( not a boxed meal) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting once more when possible.

Adventurous Tour
Lovely tour to Masai Mara. You always need some luck to see as much animals as possible. The driver Geeman was kind and helpful. We had an adventurous trip full of surprises.
The roads are really tricky so always keep in mind your own safety.
The food was ok.
It was a lovely trip around the park. Would totally recommend to choose your safari with Axis. It was a great deal/ value for money!

Unforgettable experience between Safari and Kilimanjaro
We spent four days on a tented safari with a group, followed by five days on the Marangu Route for our ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. What can I say? It was an experience that completely captivated us - not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but more importantly, because of the deep bond we formed with our guides, William, David, and Alex, as well as the porters. We arrived as clients and left as friends.
The adventure was intense and, naturally, quite spartan, but those who opt for experiences like these know exactly what to expect. The food was surprisingly good, even for us vegetarians, and the team was always highly professional, responding quickly and attentively to all our needs.
In terms of value for money, we feel confident saying it’s unbeatable, especially considering the market prices. One aspect worth mentioning is tipping: after spending so many days with the team and witnessing firsthand their daily reality, we realized that no amount of tipping would ever feel enough. Tipping is a crucial part of their income and is essential to showing appreciation for their hard work.
Ultimately, this is an experience that will stay in our hearts forever. An adventure that goes beyond a simple vacation, a journey that changes you and binds you to places and people in a profound way.

A honeymoon beyond our dreams!
Our time in Africa was an absolute dream thanks to the Tanzania Explorer team! We traveled Africa for 14 days, mainly Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Sondre’s team made sure every single detail was taken care of. Our bespoke safari really hit on everything we were hoping to experience during such a special time in our lives. As avid travelers, having traveled all 7 continents, we cannot emphasize enough how splendid they were! Thank you Sondre, Tim, Agus, Joshua, Veronica, Anna, Garth and Candice for taking care of us.
Trust then to plan your next African adventure! You won’t be disappointed.
Cheers!
Will & Greta.
