My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon by booking a private 7-day ‘the Best of Serengeti Mid-Range Safari’ tour with Meijo Safaris from 2 to 8 October, this included Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park (N.P), Materuni Waterfalls and Kikuletwa Hot Springs (including some great views of Mount Kilimanjaro). Overall, my wife and I had an absolutely incredible experience in Tanzania and are very grateful to Daudi and our tour guides Jordan (Days 2-5) and Godfrey (Day 6) for making this once in a lifetime experience as memorable as it was. The people we met on our journey, including Jordan and Godfrey, were a real highlight of our trip, not only for what we saw (and we saw the Big 5 - Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Buffalo), but how they made each day special. We felt completely safe and comfortable during our whole experience, both drivers were professional and knew the roads well. We had our own private 4x4 for the Safari experience which was very comfortable and safe and Meijo organised a “Just Married” wheel cover for the back of the vehicle which was a real special touch for us. Our meals and drinks throughout the day were all included (and we drank quite a few beers each day!). There were literally dozens of bottles of water in the car which were replenished each day, so there was no risk of dehydration! The meals were not packed sandwich boxes but were warm lunches which varied from roast chicken, pasta bolognese, stir fried chicken or beef, which were to the envy of our tour groups. We would recommend Meijo Tours to anyone contemplating a visit to Tanzania, it was truly a memorable experience. I started doing some research a few months ago to locate a reputable tour company and initially used Safaribookings.com and then TripAdvisor to help with our decision. I was initially apprehensive about finding the right company for our Safari as this was the first time either of us had been on a Safari and our first time in Tanzania. Daudi from Meijo was very responsive to all of my email queries (at least 10 emails!) and WhatsApp messages. We arranged a call with Daudi via WhatsApp to talk through the planned itinerary and ensure we were able to have any final questions answered and this was all a very smooth process. We paid a 12.5% deposit via electronic funds transfer and paid the balance upon Arrival in Arusha. Our accommodation for our trip was all organised by Meijo as follows: Day 1 - Karibu Heritage House, Arusha, Day 2 - Farm of Dreams Lodge - Karatu, Day 3 - Serengeti Safari Lodge, Serengeti N.P Day 4 - Serengeti Safari Lodge, Serengeti N.P Day 5 - Tulia Boutique Hotel, Arusha Day 6 - Panone Hotel King’Ori Kilimanjaro Airport Meijo upgraded us to the Farm of Dreams for Day 2 given this was our honeymoon, as this is usually a Luxury accommodation. This was by far the best accommodation we stayed in. The others were mid-range, clean and the food was good so we had no complaints. The Serengeti Safari Lodge rooms were surprisingly well constructed and comfortable despite their location in the middle of a National Park; better than expected. Despite being in the middle of the Serengeti, we felt safe with the 24 hour Masai security who patrolled the lodges and escorted all guests to and from their lodges to the main reception/dinner hall. I’ve included some more details regarding our trip below to help those who are planning their Safari adventure. Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park are all very different. Lake Manyara provides more of a Jungle experience, whereas the crater is a small version of Serengeti. Serengeti was clearly the highlight and so I would prioritise this if you are short on time, but whilst you are in the areas, doing both the crater and Lake Manyara is the wise choice, particularly given they are both on the way to Serengeti, so you could do one on the way there and one on the way back to break up the journey. Our tour started with a day trip to Lake Manyara National, Park, where we spent around 6 hours exploring. We saw countless birds, baboons, various monkeys, warthogs, wandering elephants on the road (which were the highlight!), Antelopes and it was a great way to start of tour. Our second day in Ngorongoro Crater started early where we arrived at around 10am. This was was a real highlight as we saw a male and female lion on their ‘honeymoon’, a number of Lionesses, Zebras, Wildebeests, Osterich, Jackals, Warthogs, pink Flamingoes, Hippopotamuses, Elephants, a Rhino (albeit from quite some distance) and Buffalo. We left the crater at around 2pm for the long and bumpy journey to Serengeti N.P. We had our late afternoon/early evening game drinks through Serengeti N.P and saw countless Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Wilderbeests, Eagles and Buffalo. During our remaining time in Serengeti N.P on Day 3 and 4 we saw countless Lions (at least 50 in different areas), hundreds of Hippopotamuses, crocodiles, Elephants, Cheetahs. Our tour guide Jordan just knew where to take us and at the right times to ensure we had the best experience and we are extremely grateful! The drive back to Arusha from Serengeti was long however Jordan helped to make this as smooth as possible with a regular stops and photo opportunities, including at the Ngorongoro crater viewpoint. We also made a last minute booking for the hot air balloon experience which was good, but given the cost and the limited time in the air (about 45mins), it’s not something we would highly recommend. We didn’t see many animals from the balloon (some Giraffes, Zebras and Elephants) so it was really more from the landscape, which personally, is better seen from ground level. The final day of our tour we visited Materuni Waterfalls and Kikuletwa Hot Springs, where we also took some great photos of Mount Kilimanjaro. This part of the tour really exceeded our expectations and we would encourage anyone who is thinking about doing a Safari, to also add this onto your ‘must do’ list as it was a real cultural experience for us, meeting the locals of the Materuni village, particularly the Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee Tour. Thank you again to Meijo Tours for helping make our Honeymoon an experience we will never forget and one that we will be encouraging all of our friends to book! Asante sana!

Very professional operator & well organized tour
We went with Meijo for an eight-day safari tour in Tanzania. We started planning the trip a few months in advance, initially with just four people, but the group eventually grew to nine. Throughout the planning process, our schedule and requirements changed many times. We were quite particular about the food and accommodation, yet the Meijo representative remained consistently patient and helpful. The proposal went through nearly twenty revisions, each time with a clearly outlined itinerary and cost breakdown. We began by comparing several agencies, but quickly narrowed it down to Meijo because of their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to work with us. The tour itself went very smoothly. We had two jeeps, two drivers, and a photographer assigned by Meijo. All three were friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable. Over the course of the trip, we stayed at five different camps, lodges, and hotels. Each accommodation had its own character (and, to be fair, its own quirks), but our guide was always transparent about the pros and cons of each place and the reasoning behind our choices. Overall, we were very satisfied—especially with the food, which exceeded our expectations. The guides were also very flexible and attentive to our wishes. For example, after not seeing any river crossings during the first two days, we decided early one morning that we wanted to return to the Mara River again that same day. Even with such short notice, the guides adjusted immediately and made it happen. This additional visit meant rearranging our schedule and skipping some activities so we could stay in central Serengeti for an extra half day. Because park permits are valid for only 24 hours, this change would normally incur extra costs, but our guide coordinated with the Meijo director, and they covered the additional permit fee for us—something we truly appreciated. Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience and would highly recommend Meijo to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If we return in the future, Meijo will definitely be our choice again.

A solid 6 out of 5 experience, exceeding all expectations
I have just done a 7-day safari (1 day at Lake Natron, 4 days at Serengeti and 1 day at Ngorongoro) with Meijo and it's a solid 6 out of 5 experience. Our guide and driver, Mtinangi, is a man with traits of the eagle – a sharp gaze, patience, and the courage to act decisively. Under the expert guidance of Mtinangi, we have seen nearly 30 species of mammals and 40 species of birds, included sightings of over 100 lions, a complete hunt of a gazelle by two cheetahs and the dramatic wildebeest river crossing. He knows the park especially Serengeti very well and he knows exactly where to find the animals that we want to see. He is also a good driver and very knowledgeable about animals Thank you Meijo and Mtinangi! I will never forget this trip!
Henry
Perfect oraganitation.
Assad Guda has been the best guide we could have ever had. We had the chance to see all the animals thanks to his eyesight. We couldn't wish more.
Silvia
Breathtaking journey
I had an unforgettable 8-day safari in Tanzania, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The landscapes were breathtaking, from the endless plains of the Serengeti to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. Every day was filled with incredible wildlife encounters—lions, elephants, giraffes, and even a leopard up close! The guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate, making the whole journey even more enjoyable. The lodges and camps were comfortable, and the hospitality was exceptional. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend it. The experience exceeded all my expectations, and I would absolutely do it again!

The Best Honeymoon Holiday Ever
My husband and I recently returned from our honeymoon, which included a 7 day safari and a 9 day Zanzibar vacation coordinated by Meijo Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. We had an incredible experience. Everything was really well-organized and professional. I would really suggest Meijo Safaris to anybody planning a vacation to Tanzania:)

*Most Amazing Trip Experience*
*Most Amazing Trip Experience* Meijo Tanzania Safaris is highly recommended by me. Patrick, Sarah, and I just returned from a trip with them. We had planned a 6-day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks, followed by a 7-day ascent of Kilimanjaro via the Machame route and a 6-day stay in Zanzibar. We communicated with their Director, Mr Daudi, throughout the booking process. The person was really helpful in every way and responded quickly to any requests/amendments to our itinerary. We proceeded our journey to Moshi, where our Kili tour began, after a fantastic safari. Our guide, Charles, and his entire staff were fantastic. We are all over 50 years old, and thanks to their excellent help during the climb, the three of us were able to reach the summit (5895m). It's not an easy climb, and I'll be eternally grateful for your help!
Amanda Howard
Extremely Helpful
They had excellent communication from start to finish. The tour was well guided and when we lost our luggage in the airport on the way over, they did everything they could to get it to us on time. Exceptional customer service and an amazing experience for the safari. Big thanks to daudi for sorting everything for us and juma for driving us round for 3 days!

Best Company for Families.
Myself, My Husband and our kids we booked 7 Days safari with Meijo Safaris. The tour itself was amazing, Our guides name was Malissa, he is very knowledgeable and friendly, he explained everything to us but as a mother I was very emotional and happy to see him teaching our kids swahili words and encourage them to be nice people when they grow up. Daudi the owner of Meijo Safaris is a very professional man and caring, He met with us before and after the safari. The jeep had everything we wanted on Safari from comfort and clean seats, Min-fridge, Books and binocular. Highly recommending this company. Book with them without any hesitation and you will never ever regret my advice :)

A very intelligent young man that shows respect; has a bright future!
My experience was delightful. I was able to check many things off my bucket list finally! The young man Daudi that I had the privilege being around was an absolute pleasure! All laughs and smiles the whole trip. Highly recommend you request Daudi.

Excellent Experience with Meijo Safari
I'm extremely delighted to have chosen Meijo Safari for this Tanzania trip. They have highly professional and easy-to-communicate customer service that caters to customers' needs. The guide is very professional, responsible, and a wonderful person. Additionally, Meijo provided complimentary drinks and beverages throughout the trip, and their lunches were also delicious. When Meijo helped book accommodations, they informed the hotels that we were on our honeymoon, allowing us to enjoy the hotels' extra honeymoon services. Meijo was definitely the best choice for this trip!

Absolute Professionals
Mambo! Meijo safari tours was fantastic from the initial email query to the day we departed Africa! I contacted Meijo Safaris via email months before I intended on bringing my wife on her dream holiday (an African safari). Every email was read by Daudi and Melisah. They were really helpful, kind, and professional throughout the whole process, from organizing the best possible trip with my limited information to making the final tweaks shortly before we arrived. Everything is planned for you, from flights to meals to side trips. They aided us in our preparation (required vaccinations, visa information, etc.) We didn't have to seek for taxis, motels, or restaurants once we arrived. Their team went above and beyond to make this vacation a success. Their team went above and beyond to make this vacation a success. Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater were among the sights we witnessed. The accommodations were excellent, and the food was delicious. Jordan, our tour guide, was fantastic. Safe, well-informed, funny, and courteous. He made sure we got to see all of the animals we wanted to see, as well as a lot more. We'd seen the Big 5 a few times before. On the road are lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Large lion prides with their cubs. In the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw numerous of the rare Black Rhinos. The last day of our trip, we went to a Maasia village and school. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect vacation! Oh, and the price was really reasonable. Sana Asante

Perfect Experience
We had an excellent experience with Meijo! Everyone was very helpful, from the initial consultation, answering our questions, and throughout the safari. The safari was a dream! Truly a privilege to have in life. Our guide (Godbless) was absolutely knowledgeable, with extensive knowledge about nature, animals, and parks. We felt very safe and happy with the experience. Thank you so much, everyone, for helping us achieve our dream! (automatic translation from Portuguese)

Perfect graduation trip, will come back again for sure.
This trip with Meijo is just perfect. I can’t find another word. Our sale Daudi has been talking to me for like weeks before I finally decided to book and pay the deposit. I hesitated because I haven’t done safari before and I’m not sure about Meijo. After I pay the deposit, whenever I have any questions, daudi will answer them patiently and sometimes he’s got internet trouble but he always replies. The day we supposed to arrive, our flight got delayed and I tried to connect with him but he was abroad at that time. Hopefully, sales team by meijo emailed me and we managed to meet at the airport. Firstly when I can’t get in touch with daudi, I panicked because I don’t know anyone else, but meijo found my flight went wrong and contacted me, it’s really satisfying and they are reliable. During this whole trip, our guide Herman is just perfect. Sorry I just can’t find another word. His sight is like radar and can always find animals we want. He’s nice and friendly and calm. I think he’s maybe the best guide you can expect for a safari. Despite we got a little bit delayed at Ngorongoro, everything is just perfect. My parents are satisfied and I’m surely going to tell all my friends to book with Meijo.

AMAZINNGGGGG
My fiancé and I booked a 8 day safari with Meijo and it was the best decision we could have made! We were extremely lucky to have gotten JORDAN as our guide, he was exceptional and absolutely the best guide we could’ve asked for. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND every single day for us to make sure we had an unforgettable safari. Jordan was very very knowledgeable with the directions of each park, the animals and was able to answer all our questions. Jordan is able to do tours in Swahili, English, French and Italian. The company was very easy to work with and able to accommodate us as needed! Absolutely recommend the company and specifically Jordan. In our last day we were lucky enough to meet the owner of the company who went out of his way to come and thank us for choosing them. I think it is also very important to note that this is a LOCAL business who are doing an AMAZING job No need to think twice book with Meijo!!!

Best choice for Safari in Tanzania, great guide and detailed plan
There are many safari agencies in Tanzania, but I have selected Meijo based in previous reviews and very detailed plan received since the first email. At the end, it was the best choice I can do. Routes were planned perfectly and accomodations were amazing. But what makes a trip unforgettable is people and our guide Andrea lead us in this magic adventure. He was able to see animals where I can also see grass and we were able to see a very high number of wild animals closely. Drive was completely safe and we received all explanations needed. I totally recommend both Meijo agency and Andrea!

Extremely well organised & our guide, Michael, was excellent!
We booked the 5-day luxury safari for our honeymoon which covered Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We booked the trip through Daudi who was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We met our tour guide, Michael, on day 2 who was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about African Culture. Many times on Safari he spotted animals before we did and always made sure we were satisfied before moving on. Michael slightly amended our programme to ensure we spent more time in the three major parks we visited. Due to this we were lucky enough to see 4 of the big 5 (the leopard was too shy). We wish we had more time in Serengeti as it was an amazing place, we wish the programme covered 2 full days in Serengeti instead of Lake Manyara as we saw the same wildlife here as Tarangire. The vehicle was well stocked with wine, beer and soft drinks, was comfortable and cleaned each evening. The only thing which could have made our experience even more memorable was the “just married” wheel cover! The accommodation that we chose was amazing, great food, clean and comfortable rooms and lovely helpful staff and who always had a smile on their face. Thank you Meijo Safari. Tanzania was a place that we will never forget. We will tell our friends and family about Meijo and hopefully one day we will be back to see the Leopard!
