Reviews of Meijo Safaris

Incredible Safari with Meijo Safaris

Me and my family of 6 people booked our 8 days safari with Meijo and we visitied Ndutu Area, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangiri and Lake Eyasi, later on we spent 5 days at Zanzibar under the help of Daudi and his team. Funny thing is my father's name also is Daud.. Daudi provided lot of informations to us which made is feel like locals, he answered all of our questions and at the end we did a video call with him to makesure he know exactly what he recommended to us and it turned out to be not only he knows about the National Parks but his country in General. We paid an initial deposit of 30% and after a week he sent us a safari confirmation voucher showing all of the booked lodges and plan. We arrived at the airport and we get picked by all who drove us to Gran Melia Arusha and after 30 minutes Daudi and his team came to meet us for briefing, we felt so happy. The Next day our drive Mr Herman (many people in the park calls him SUPER) he is an incredible guide with a huge knowledge on Fauna and Flora, on the second day of our safari we saw all the Big 5, Leopard, Rhino, elephant, Buffalo and Lions. He drive very carefully and never moved a jeep without asking us if we are satisfied with the photos as one of my brother is a photographer and he was very happy the way Herman finds a good view for him to take pictures. The Lodges we slept were very clean with delicious meals but i noticed one thing, during the lunch at the picnic sites lots of tourists from other companies had their lunch on boxes bur for is it was different as our lunch was served from the hamper and it was hot all the time also our table was filled with cold beers, Wines and Juices. The Jeep has electricity ports to judge mobiles and Cameras. Meijo Safaris provided to us everything we agreed and at the end we felt like we got more than what we expected as the price we paid was very affordable compare to other companies. We are planning to return to Tanzania next year to do another safari with Meijo and to volunteer in the Maasai Village. Asante Sana ...

Very Caring

We did 7 days safari with Meijo Safaris and everything was well organised. Daudi the owner of Meijo Safaris was very active and very open on answering all of questions. He also customised the best itinerary just from asking us few questions. Before the safari he met as at the hotel for briefing and dinner together. On the safari we had lots of suprises, the jeep was very clean and comfortable with books, binocular also Beers was in mine fridge inside the jeep and every evening after dinner we had one glass of a wine. The hot meals was served through out the safari. Our guides name was Mr Malissa he is very professional he couldn't blink his eyes, He wanted us to see every kind of animals at the end of the safari we saw so so many animals, he also verfunny and friendly, he taught as a lot about flora and fauna. We felt like we paid less for the service we got from Meijo Safari and their team. After safari Daudi came to meet us at the hotel to get the feedback. Also he arranged a free transfer to the Airport. Thank you so much Meijo Safaris, Daudi and Malissa.

A very happy trip!

This trip was so much fun! Our guides, Jordan and Osman, were incredibly attentive. Jordan, who was my guide, had a keen eye for animals, spotting them from incredibly far away and always getting us to the best viewing spots. I also loved their service. From start to finish, we never had to carry our luggage once, and they were always smiling! He also told us lots of interesting stories about the area, and his driving was fantastic! Overall, the trip wasn't as stressful as I'd imagined; I even slept a lot in the car. I had a blast the entire time. I highly recommend this trip to anyone, and choose my guide, Jordan!

unforgettable experience in the savannah

The overall experience was wonderful. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All three deserve to be seen for the characteristics that distinguish them as they have different landscapes, different climates ... we stayed for 4 days totally immersed in the savannah, it's really worth it. We saw tons of animals, and all of the big five. We stay in the tented camps, we had a good time and we ate very well. Everything well organized between travel, food and accommodation. Of course, in a tent you have to adapt, but the people we met were all very welcoming and ready to help us in any circumstance. We had 2 guides who accompanied us, one for Tarangire and one for Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Especially with the second one, Assad, we stay very well, in addition to being an excellent driver, he was also an excellent wildlife teacher and an excellent mechanic!! We thank him especially for his skill and sympathy. We also thank Daudi, who organized the whole tour for us and was very helpful both before, during and after the safari. We recommend everyone to have this experience, truly beautiful.

Amazing trip

This was an extraordinary trip for me. Everything was new to us, and I was also filled with anxiety. Fortunately, our guides, Jordon and Othman, were skilled drivers, patient, and experienced, allowing us to see nearly every animal we could imagine. Othman knew over 200 bird species and spoke five languages, and he explained each animal we saw. Jordon was very responsible, always letting us know the next day's itinerary and meeting time in advance. I'm so lucky to have chosen Meijo Safari! (automatic translation from Chinese)

Knowledgeable, professional and perfect with kids

Exellent: from the initial communication about the trip, the professionel setup of the intiniary, the knowledgeable guide Malisa and great cook William everything was amazing. We did a private budget safari 2 adults and 3 kids age 5, 11 and 13 to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Especially our guide Malisa was absolutely amazing with the kids, playing and practicing both English and Swahili with them. All the way encouraging them to be curious and ask question. As a biologist myself I had tons of questions and Malisa had great answers. Even when one our kids got sick in the middle of the night both Malisa and William were so professional and trustworthy, no doubt they had tried a bit of everything and knew how to handle the situation. Very good communication all the way on WhatsApp with the director Daudi.

Dream Come True!

I cannot say enough about how amazing our safari with Assad from Meijo was. He was extremely knowledgeable in the animals, vegetation, and landscape. He had an eagle eye for finding all the animals. Including finding all of the big 5. Assad made sure we got spectacular photos and a memorable experience. He was very easy to talk to and get along with. I felt extremely well taken care of the whole trip and would do a safari with Meijo again.

Amazing 4 day safari tour in Tanzania

Communication was great, there was some confusion about our dates but Daudi sorted it out and he was there with our driver Juma when we landed in Arusha. The safari was great, we saw every animal we wanted to see and more, and the different parks we visited were all unique and interesting. Uncle J was always surprising us with his knowledge of the animals, in particular the birds! Some bad weather didn't spoil any of it and the places we stayed were incredible, especially Matawi Serengeti Camp - that place will be in our memories forever. The food was great, it was nice to have cooked food and beer/wine each day at lunch and we never went hungry. Big thanks to Daudi and Juma for an awesome safari tour!

Welcoming, adaptable, wonderful!

Me and my boyfriend used meijo safaris for my 30th birthday. Mr Edmond was our driver and was extremely knowledgable. He could spot a cheetah in a second while we were driving past, he even heard a sound whilst we were watching an animal and knew it was lions chasing an animal and took us straight there. We were very impressed with Mr Edmond’s versatility, we were supposed to do ngorongoro crater one morning on the way to the serengeti but it was cloudy so he advised to do a full day at serengeti and come back the next afternoon early when the weather was perfect. We also added on a 1 day hike of kilimanjaro and the guides were great! We climbed it two hours quicker than expected so they took us to coffee and cave plantation to fill our time up before our flight. We want to do the full climb of kilimanjaro and will definitely use meijo again! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

A fabulous Safari and Island Relaxation with Meijo Safaris

Overall we had the most amazing time. Totally amazing experience, we would like to thank Daudi the director of Meijo Safaris for organizing the best safari for me and my family of 8 people it was one of the best holiday experience we have ever had in our entire life. He is very knowledgeable and I appreciate the hours he spent on the phone with me to go through what I wanted and explain his experiences. He advices us on which parks to visit and which accommodation. The safari and beach organization was superb and awesome, we have nothing but praise to the whole team at Meijo Safaris Limited for taking care of us during the 21 days with them. Safari was by far the best element, we enjoyed, we saw each and every animal, we saw 10 times more than we had dreamt of. Big shootout to our guide Mr Herman and Mr Michael for taking care of us during the safari and Mohammed at Zanzibar. I noted that other visitors from this company that we met during the safari spoke well about Meijo Safaris and their Guides. We are very much enjoyed their hospitality we felt very safe, well looked after and had many magical days which we will always treasure.

It's worth the wait

In general, I don't write reviews, but I have to tell anyone planning an African vacation to consider Meijo Safaris. My initial intention was that this trip would be a "one and done" experience, however now I am planning a second trip to Africa with Meijo Safaris. Their meticulous planning and attention to detail enhances your trip from the time you book it until the time you depart Africa. Our whole trip to Tanzania was customized to our needs, and they handled every aspect of it for us. There are no words to describe how highly I recommend this.

Phenomenal 4 day safari! Couldn’t recommend more highly

Honestly some of the best 4 days I’ve ever had. We did the shared camping safari. Meijo looked after us from start to finish with top quality service. The communication was excellent throughout and compared to the other your groups we met I would say they were a great value for your money. They had some of the best guides and cooks (something that changes a lot between companies). The food was fresh and honestly something I’d expect to eat in a nice restaurants. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see and more. Big 5, ugly 5, and more. It was very special to be able to see a rhino and we couldn’t have done it without Frederick (our guide). The camping was phenomenal. The views were extraordinary and the campsites were clean and well maintained. We were worried we wouldn’t find the camping clean as there are mixed reviews but we loved every part of it. All in all, It was a flawless experience and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Dream Safari Experience

We were pleased on the way Daudi planned our Safari in Tanzania, communication was very fast and everything went smoothly and the Safari was more than what we expected with them. Our guides were extremely professionals and knowledgeable about animals and their cultures which allowed us to learn more from them. Herman was very patient during our Safari and always happy to answer all of our questions. The food and the lodges we slept was amazing and was from Daudi recommendations, Thank you Daudi for this. Thanks for everyone at Meijo Safaris for such an amazing Safari we will always remember this experience. See you in the Future Harak's Family

Thanks for the driver's good eyesight

The driver HERMAN is very reliable. He uses his super vision to accurately spot animals, far ahead of other teams. Leopards and rhinos are very impressive, as if his vision is 8x. He drives very steadily and obeys traffic rules. We encountered several cars that broke down or had other problems on the road, and we were very glad that our driver was a steady one, hahahaha (automatic translation from Chinese)

Excellent 5***

From the start to the end Daudi was there for us. Communicating, making sure all the discussed points were met. He was there to meet and greet as well as making sure he met us after hike and after safari for a feedback. I’m guessing like many going for safari and hike to Africa for the first time we were not sure who to choose and how trustworthy the people would be. We didn’t need to worry. The price was very reasonable in comparison to others , the guides were excellent, the food that was cooked for us was just amazing. Before hike our equipment was thorough inspected making sure we have everything we might need and that we are warm at nights. All in all we were happy from the point we contacted Daudi until the end. The communication was good, he was flexible to ensure we get the best out of the trip and we felt we were cared for throughout If I were to go back I would not be looking elsewhere for a guide. It would be Daudi again! Thank you
