Reviews of Meijo Safaris

Excellent All Around

Arranging for the Safari was not a difficult task with the help of Daudi. The camp gear was clean, new, and very comfortable. Our tour guide Uncle Juma was very knowledgeable with +20 years of experience. The food was good all around. It was a great value for the money!

Magical

My dad and I had a wonderful experience with Meijo Safaris during January 2024. We saw so much wildlife- lions, giraffes, elephants, gazelle, zebras, rhinos, wildebeest, and even a leopard in a tree! I loved being able to sleep right inside the Serengeti park. The experience was exciting, but still felt very safe. Our driver Juma was very kind and an experienced guide. We also had a wonderful cultural experience meeting Maasai people at Lake Natron and being welcomed to visit a village. I am so happy that we made this trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience that lived up to our high expectations. Thank you Meijo Safaris!

I heartily suggest it to anybody considering organizing a safari vacation in Tanzania!

To commemorate my father's 60th birthday, my family and I planned with the Meijo's team to organize a week-long trip to Tanzania. Daudi and his crew helped us arrange our schedule and were incredibly helpful right from the start. As recommended by the them, we stayed at two opulent Serena hotels in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and we thought both were superb hotels with amazing wildlife. My parents are gluten free, however he informed both lodges and made modifications for every meal. The service at both lodges was fantastic, and the cuisine at both lodges was wonderful. Despite time zone differences, the Meijo’s was quick to answer any inquiries and kept in touch with us via WhatsApp both before and throughout the trip. Everything was flawlessly planned from beginning to end, therefore we have nothing bad to say about the trip! I heartily suggest it to anybody considering organizing a safari vacation in Tanzania!

Amazing safari

I had the best time. The safari itself was incredibly. The camping was such a cool experience and added such a real and exciting touch to it. We had a chef with us who cooked fresh and delicious food for us (also great vegan options possible) I was there during low season, so they work together with other companies, which is totally fine. What made the safari so very memorable, was our perfect guide Aaron. He is one of the drivers from the adjoined companies. He knows everything about the places and the animals and he is fantastic in finding the best spots to see the animals. Everything was well organized and everyone was so very friendly. Would 100% do it again.

So happy that we have chosen Meijo Safaris for our first safari!

Our 5 day safari with Meijo Safaris was simply perfect. From our first communication with Daudi, who organized our itinerary and met us in Arusha, to Herman, our amazing guide throughout the safari. We felt that it was very important for both that we have a great time - and we did! During our safari Herman took great care of us and went above and beyond to provide us with a safari experience we will never forget. We saw the Big Five and so many more (impossible to count!), we learned so much about the animals and nature from Herman. He has incredible eyes and many years of experience as a guide. Every day was different, there is a great variety within the different national parks (Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) and we had so much fun watching the animals and taking amazing pictures. At the same time, we felt 100% safe and in really good hands (kudos also to Herman's responsible driving). The lodges we chose during our trip were all top quality, very welcoming, comfortable and with incredible views. The hot lunches during the day were also very good. All in all, we are still overwhelmed by all the beauty we have seen during these days and are very happy to have chosen Meijo Safaris for our first safari.

Excellent

We had the most amazing safari trip with Meijo. Michael was the most amazing friendly and knowledgeable guide during our trip. The whole company were so great to deal with and I would recommend to anyone going on safari.

Leah

Best experience ever!

Can not say enough good things about Meijo Safaris and our guide, Assad! From the time we booked our trip, to when we started the safari, and everything in between, all was handled professionally and courteously. Assad was very knowledgeable and patient. His flexibility with our schedule allowed us to see everything we wanted. We never felt rushed at all. Assad was able to spot so many animals, especially the Big Five. He gave us the opportunity to photograph and video it all. I would definitely recommend Meijo Safaris to anyone looking for a safe, reliable and trustworthy safari company to give you the trip of a lifetime!

An amazing experience

We booked an 8 day luxury package with Meijo Safaris. The experience was seamless and spectacular. Daudi was responsive to our questions and helped us assemble a custom itinerary that fit our budget, time, and interests. Our wonderful guide Herman was very experienced and showed us sights beyond imagination, including the great wildebeest migration, ostrich courtship and mating, and more than 30 lions. He also patiently answered our questions and was responsive to our every need, from moving the car to get a perfect photo to rustling up some ugali for us to try. Food and accommodation were wonderful throughout, with each location offering a unique experience. Finally, Meijo ensured that we didn’t have to worry about anything from the moment we landed in Tanzania. This trip really was the experience of a lifetime — thank you Meijo Safaris.

Fred

Excellent! I give it full marks!

It was so great, a life experience! I saw so many animals, very close! The guide was Helman (or Herman), his eyes were really eight times the size, he was the first to spot the cheetah and rhino, and then other cars came one after another, haha, there were explanations along the way, he knew all the animals. It was great! I want to give it full marks! (automatic translation from Chinese)

Great organization

Assad Guda was the best guide we could have wished for during our six days of safari, dedicated and passionate about his work, super attentive eye in spotting any animal, always available, intelligent and with a good sense of humor, as well as an excellent off-road driver. In the savannah he was our king. Asante sana! (automatic translation from Italian)

Ivana

I love both Serengeti and Zanzibar, and I absolutely must go!

Overall, the arrangements for the trip to Zang Island weren't particularly well-organized, but we still had wonderful memories in the Serengeti. It was a shame we missed seeing wildebeest crossing the river by more than ten minutes. The driver and guides, Jordan and Othman, were very nice, and the entire trip was a joy.

I will be back soon.

it's really amazing trip with the best guide ABDUL in Serengeti. we experienced sunny & rainy forest, and saw many kinds of animals. Also，what Abdul told gave us more understandings about nature, animals, Serengeti, and the city. The more I learned, the more I like about the forest. We will back soon, maybe rain season or the same time. And we will choose Meijo again, especially reliable and sincere ABDUL again.

Meijo Safaris at Tanzania, where amazing always happens.

Hello, I am Zhirui Wang from China. I have a 5-day safari tour with my wife and my parents. Our tour including one-day Lake Manyara, 3-day Serengeti, and 1-day Ngorongoro Crater. We have seen various kinds of animals, like the most popular African Big Five, namely lions, leopard, elephants, Buffalo and Rhino. Other animals also include monkey, baboon, wildebeest, zebra, antelope, dik-dik, etc. The experience of watching animals at Tanzania is rather different than that in a zoo. In the zoo, it’s the animals that lives in the cages. But here in Tanzania, it’s the human beings that are locked in the safari’s cars. We can see different animals eating, chasing, running, resting, and so on. It’s really worthwhile to do the safari in our life. The safari experience mainly relies on two things, The first one is the luck to see excellent moments and animals. You can't do anything but pray. The second one is the tour guide. Choosing an excellent and experienced guide can make all your safari expenses worthwhile. Our guide is Herman from Meijo Safaris. He has done safari for over 12 years. In our opinions, he has eagle eyes. He can discover the animals from a long distance. How far? It’s the distance I cannot see the animals clearly by using a normal telescope. But he can surprisingly discover them. I exaggerate his insight that other guides can see animals from hundreds of meters away, but Herman can smell the animals from kilometers away. In addition to finding animals, our guide will also explain the living habits of animals to us. This is also a learning tour. In order to help us take satisfactory photos, our guide will try to find the best angles. Also, he had plenty of patience waiting for our photography. In addition, Herman has good driving skills. The road conditions during safari are complicated. It’s possible to get stuck in the mud on rainy days and easy for the passengers to get carsickness on a bumpy road. In my view, it’s easy for a driver to put his foot on the gas, but difficult to switch between gas and break on complicated roads, and provide a comfortable experience for us. Obviously, our guide earns money by doing safari. But I don’t think it’s only a job for him. I can feel his love for safari, for the animals and for Meijo Safaris. Our family had a really great safari time. We sincerely thank our guide for providing us such an amazing tour. No doubt, I will strongly recommend our guide, Herman from Meijo Safaris, to everyone. Speaking of safari tours, I chose the safari agency called Meijo Safaris. As we all know, it’s a difficult task to make decision among hundreds of safari agencies in Tanzania. One reason is that the service provided by most agencies seems like the same at the first sight if we are not familiar with safaris. Another reason is that our choice will directly affect our safari experience which matters most. I have contacted with nearly 30 agencies. After the communication and comparison for over a month, I finally chose Meijo Safaris. I can share my feelings of Meijo as reference. First, the quick response. Daudi, the manager of Meijo Safaris, always responded to my message in a short time. My questions and concerns can be solved at the first time. That’s a good way to build the trust between company and clients. If you ask only one question that is replied after several days, do you have any patience to continue consulting the safari? Second, customized services. The emails replied by most companies seems rather standardized and formatted. Some even didn’t answer my questions directly or just ignored. Differently, I could feel that Daudi, the manager, he replied to my email by heart. He customized the safaris itinerary according to my request, including the routes, accommodation, and so on. As for my unreasonable and unsuitable request, he would give a detailed explanation and recommendation. The customized services really won my trust and respect. Third, Daudi is really a nice person. Not only did he answer all my question about Safari, but also other questions concerning to other parts of our trip, such as where to buy SIM cards, how to do currency exchange, which airlines to choose between Zanzibar Island to Arusha. I really appreciate Daudi’s help and service. If you know what kind of person Daudi is, what his safari tour can offer you, and what kind of company you're entrusting your safari experience to, I’m sure you won't hesitate to book. It’s not just about safari business. It’s also the cultivated trust and friendship. Finally, I would sincerely express my thanks to Meijo Safaris. Best wishes to the director Daudi, and to our tour guide Herman. It’s really worthwhile to choose Meijo Safaris at Tanzania, where amazing always happens.

Amazing safari honeymoon

We had an amazing experience with Meijo Safaris on our safari in Tanzania. Our driver and guide Michael was knowledgeable, kind, very helpful and friendly. In addition to that he is a very skilled driver! Daudi was also great, he was very responsive from the beginning and answered many questions we had while planning our trip. All the accommodations we stayed in were really incredible, and we enjoyed all the food as well. It felt great not having to worry about anything and just enjoying the beautiful scenery and wildlife. We'd love to come back and do another safari trip with the same team!

Africa Safari

I like the enthusiasm and vitality of Africa very much. It was a great trip. I felt the professionalism and enthusiasm of the company during the trip.

Trust them 100% and your experience will be unforgettable!

The experience with Meijo was exceptional. Daudi organized everything perfectly, we found the agency through Safari Bookings and we couldn't have chosen better! We did private safari and we saw almost all the animals, Herma was our guide and she knew what we wanted at all times. Without a doubt, you can trust them, we did and we had a trip of 10!

Professional and easy to deal with

Great experience with Daudi. We met travellers that had used other tour operators for their safaris, and judging from their experiences, Daudi seems like one of the better operators without doubt. Professional and easy to talk to. We wired the full amount beforehand because we didn't want to being lots of cash.

Great Safari Experience

I give a thumbs up to the tour guide Herman. He was the first to spot the leopard and black rhino hunting for two consecutive days. He had great eyesight and explanations. The overall experience was also very good. I would recommend friends to come here to experience Safari. (automatic translation from Chinese)

Big 5 Check - We can absolutely reccomend a tour with Meijo.

We were on a 5 day safari with Meijo and were more than positively thrilled. Let's start at the beginning, the organization: Daudi has responded to all our wishes and has planned us an incredible experience. Our guide Herman, who can read the minds of the animals, provided us with an incredible trip. No animal can hide that Herman would not find it. Thank you for that days we will never forget. Let's get to the Food, yes we had some concerns before. But our cook Prospa is a magician at the stove. Every day there were three hot meals, which were all excellent - „Bomba Bomba“. Conclusion: Yes, we would go with Meijo again! “Asante“ to the whole team for the wonderful days.
