Reviews of Meijo Safaris

Amazing once in a lifetime experience with an amazing guide and tour operator

We went on a shared Safari and it was really well organized. We were picked up at our hotel in Arusha and dropped off at the end of our Safari at another hotel. We went on a midrange safari, but felt like we were sleeping really luxurious. One night we stayed inside the Serengeti and that was the most wonderful experience! We saw many beautiful sunsets and also went game driving during sunrise. We had no problem with seeing all the big 5 animals and more, because of our amazing guide!! If you are going with this company, you should ask for the guide Malisa. He is really funny and great guy to have with you on the safari AND he is really good in spotting animals and knowing where the animals are going, so he gets you to the best spots!! Also was the food during the safari really good. Concluding, it was overall a really amazing once in a lifetime experience and this company is the reason it was this good!!

The best

Mickael made us dream during this 4-day trip. His performance was perfect and his kindness unparalleled.

Best experience from start to finish

We took part in a 5 day “joining tour”. This meant that the tour companies put together people in the same vehicle who are going to the same places as to minimize the number of empty seats (and make it affordable for us). We ended up loving our group for the first 3 days! We all camped in Ngorongoro crater rim and Serengeti and it was stunning! We saw the “big 5” the first two days! GUIDE: Our guide, Freddy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got two flat tires and every tour operator stops to help each other which makes for very quick fixes! I love the camaraderie. FOOD: The food was AWESOME. Davis was our chef. He makes multi-course meals 3 times a day and cleans everything! We came to learn he’s only 18 years old. Such a talent! We had things I didn’t know could be cooked in the bush- pizza, quiche, tarts, au-gratin potatoes, beef, and the most amazing soups (different every day)! Seriously, after the lions, I was most impressed with the food. FLEXIBILITY: We ended up being exhausted the last day and decided to change our itinerary from Lake Manyara to Materuni waterfall because we were told the animals had migrated away from the lake. That really gave us a chance to diversify our trip too! Joel was our guide and he was fantastic. He taught us about plans and coffee on our 5 km round trip hike to the falls. He took great pics too! My shoes were broken at the falls and he lent me a hand on the hike back which I so appreciated. OVERALL: This company is well coordinated. The director was very responsive via WhatsApp, constantly letting me know changes as they occurred or helping us adjust our itinerary. Bonus: he even came to our hotel to ensure we were happy with everything. We are so happy with our experience and highly recommend them!

An Amazing 9-Day Safari with a Fantastic Team!

We were a group of 9 on a 9-day safari in Tanzania, and we had a wonderful time. Our guide, Jason, was fantastic. He taught us a lot about the Ngorongoro Crater's formation and animal behavior. He was a very safe and cheerful driver, even after long days. We also want to give a big shout-out to Abdul, the guide from the other vehicle, and Rajab, our talented photographer – both were excellent and added so much to our experience. We enjoyed the lodges and the unique experience of staying in the wild with buffalo and zebras nearby. The highlight was the Ngorongoro Crater itself. The mix of mountains, grasslands, lakes, animals, and Maasai people was amazing. I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this trip and the whole team!

Perfectly organized, very friendly and an incredible experience.

Everything was perfect. We received a tour offer with all details and were in contact before our safari to arrange the pick-up. Even though our flight was delayed for 5 hours, the pick-up was arranged and we had not to wait for the driver. Every person was super friendly and also the lodges were very clean and perfect for our stay. Our driver and cook were absolutely amazing. We saw everything we could have never imagined to see and felt super safe all the time. Sleeping in tents was a great experience and provided an option to see even more animals at night. I highly recommend everyone to choose this tour.

Amazing safari trip with Michael

An amazing trip. Michael was both an excellent guide and driver. He knew where to drive to see so many different animals virtually every day, including wildebeest crossing the Mara River, elephants, buffalo, zebras up close, beautiful giraffes, baboons, lioness’s with cubs right beside the Land Cruiser, and a rare sighting of a cheetah! Not to mention many, many types of animals from the deer family. We went mid-range on the accommodations and they were very good along with all the meals. The booking process was very helpful and very professional. We would highly recommend both Michael and Meijo Safaris.

Nature's Majesty: Expedition Through Africa's Wildlife Paradises with Meijo Safaris and Assad

We recently had the pleasure of doing our first safari in Tanzania. And it was more than extraordinary. From start to finish, this safari exceeded all our expectations. Itinerary and Activities: The itinerary was perfect-planned. Since the first contact with Michael of Mejio Safari's we got a lot of suggestions, uncomplicated and directly response so we could figure out our prefect individual Safari. Unfortunately one of our bags didn't reach out our destination due to a mistake of the airline. So Michael helped us out and managed the whole process so we were able to get the bag as early as possible back. An additional positive aspect were the way they do they do their "lunchbags". Different to the others they had meddal boxes which were filled by the accommodations - instead of paperboys with sandwiches like a lot of others we saw at the lunch-breaks. Our Guide Assad: He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and ecosystem. He had always an answer for all of our questions - no matter which topic - and inspired us with his love of wildlife and especially the Serengeti. For us he was not only the guide, he was more than that. He was our Swahili teacher, dictionary, and encyclopedia all in one, always eager to create a positive atmosphere and help us make unforgettable memories. Assad is a very warm-hearted, well prepared and organized professional. In addition it should also be mentioned that he's speaking very good English. Wildlife Experiences: The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the wildlife sightings. We were fortunate to see the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and last but not least the rhino—along with countless other animals. Each drive brought new surprises, making every outing exciting - not just because of the animals but also because of the landscapes. Accommodations: The lodges we had individually chosen were in different categories. What they had really all in common: The staff were super warm and attentive to make us feel comfortable. Each evening, we enjoyed delicious meals and they prepared the lunch for the following day. The rooms/tent we had were all perfectly clean with warm-water and W-Lan even though you were partly in the middle of nowhere. We really had nothing to complain. Overall Experience: 5of5 Stars of Experience as well as 5of5 of Big Fives :) We always will remember this incredible Safari. Big thanks for that to our Meijo Safari's and especially our guide Assad!

fantastic and beautiful experience!

We took part in a 3-day budget group safari (6 people) with two nights in a tent. Daudi the very sympathetic manager answered our many questions days in advance within an almost impossibly fast deadline patiently and competently and supported us where he could. We booked the safari quite spontaneously and were therefore very happy about the fantastic advice. One day before the safari, we met with him and he informed us about the itinerary - this gave us an additional good feeling. The safari itself was very well organised! For us, everything was just right from A to Z. Yuma, our guide, was very friendly and a great driver. He patiently told us many things about the Masai, the Serengeti and its diverse wildlife, he had a great feeling for the right spots (25 years of experience) and we saw a lot of animals. Sam our cook was also great. The food was insanely good, varied and plentiful - even my request for vegan food was fulfilled without complications. We felt very well looked after. The overnight stay in the tent was a great experience. The tents are big, equipped with mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags and the teams in the camps are very supportive. What we also really liked is the atmosphere among the guides/cooks of the different safari providers - there is a lot of laughing and joking and we had a great time with everyone. After the safari, Daudi met us and asked us for our feedback and then personally drove us to our hotel in Arusha, which was not very centrally located! It is very important to Mejio Safari that the safari is a great experience and this is guaranteed! Thank you for everything! We recommend Mejio 100%!
