I love both Serengeti and Zanzibar, and I absolutely must go!
5/5

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.

Very professional operator & well organized tour
5/5

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.

The agency proved to be highly professional and trustworthy.
5/5

We were a group of nine friends traveling together on a 8-day safari. And from the very beginning Meijo proved to be highly professional and trustworthy. Their proposal was clear and detailed, and even when we changed our requests a few times, their responses were always quick and helpful.

From the moment we landed, everything was smooth and well organized. We had two vehicles with Jason and Abdul as our guides- both of them incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, and caring. Throughout the trip they looked after us attentively and shared fascinating insights into the wildlife, landscapes, and culture. We also had Rajab, a very kind and talented photographer, who captured stunning shots and gave us wonderful memories to take home.

I would not hesitate to recommend Meijo to friends and family - it’s truly a team you can count on for an unforgettable safari experience.

An Amazing 9-Day Safari with a Fantastic Team!
5/5

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!

Wonderful experience
5/5

Our safari experience was elevated to an extraordinary level by the exceptional team of professionals: our two guides, Abdul and Jason, and our talented photographer, Rajab. Their synergy created a seamless, entertaining, and utterly magical adventure.

Abdul and Jason exemplify expertise and warm hospitality. Their deep knowledge of the wilderness is matched only by their incredible eagle eyes. Working in perfect harmony, they spotted everything—from leopards perfectly camouflaged in trees to elephants moving in the distance. Their commentary was both informative and truly engaging, providing rich insights into animal behavior, tracking, and the entire ecosystem. Furthermore, they paid meticulous attention to our comfort, ensuring the vehicle was always well-stocked with cold beverages—a most welcome detail under the African sun.

Complementing this exceptional guide service was our photographer, Rajab. With his keen artistic eye and immense patience, he expertly captured the essence of our journey. He provided helpful guidance and ensured we returned with a stunning collection of photographs that beautifully preserved these incredible memories.

Altogether, Abdul, Jason, and Rajab formed a world-class team. Their individual strengths, combined with their seamless collaboration, exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a top-notch, personalized, and unforgettable safari experience.

A heartfelt thank you to Abdul, Jason, and Rajab for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

clients oriented, flexible, taking care of you from arrival, passionate about safari
5/5

We have just returned from a 5-day private safari in Tanzania organized by Meijo Safaris. We spent 5 days with them, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater parks.
The offer was tailored to meet our expectations. Special thanks to Michael, who prepared it after consulting with us.
Everything we saw on site was exactly as described in the offer. No unpleasant surprises. If any small problems arose, as they always do, everything was resolved quickly and efficiently, so that we did not experience any inconvenience.
They work very efficiently, are flexible and available 24/7 😊, so we could focus on admiring the beautiful African nature. They were able to adjust the program, even during the Safari. When we came up with the idea of a balloon flight, everything was already organized early the next morning.
They took care of us from the very beginning, from picking us up at the airport, through checking in at all hotels, taking care of all formalities, to looking after us until our departure.
The safari itself was perfectly organized. Our guide, Herman, knows the area, animal habits, and local culture very well. He is very friendly and eager to share his knowledge; you can tell, that safaris are his passion. Thanks to him, we were able to see lots of animals in their natural habitat (lions, little lions cubs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, buffalos, antelopes, and many others…). And above all, it was safe. Amazing experiences at Moyo Tented Camp – the roars of lions at night nearby is an amazing experience. In the Jeep, we had an access to WiFi and phone charging ports, so contact with friends available if needed. This trip was beyond any expectations!!! So, we highly recommend Meijo Safaris to other travelers.

The best guide who treated me kindly at a good distance
5/5

He was calm and courteous throughout our five-day safari. On the road, he was able to accurately name the animals that could be seen in the far distance and supplemented us with the characteristics of each, making for an enjoyable safari. We were able to exchange information closely with other drivers on the phone and quickly figure out where the precious animals were, and when we arrived at the site, with about 10 cars parked and looking for animals, we were able to accurately locate the animals and see the ones we wanted. big5 animals were seen successfully, and we were very satisfied with the safari drive! I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Herman to everyone!

Finally, I would also like to thank Daudi for all of his email correspondence with me over the past 6 months regarding the tour. We went through dozens of detailed email exchanges, but he always replied immediately and gave us the information we needed.

Safari Trip 5* One word….WOW!
5/5

From start to finish the trip was amazing! Great communication from Daudi & price so much cheaper than we expected for a private tour with amazing accommodation. We had a big Safari truck for us 2 & it was so worth the extra, do every thing as you like & the space was well needed for our luggage due to going Zanzibar after for some R&R.
We stayed 1 night at Eileen’s trees & 2 nights Matawi Luxury Lodge inside the Serengeti. Managed to see 4 of the big 5 so very lucky. We also had greatest pleasure of seeing the very shy leopard which was out of this world! Excellent personal service at both locations & amazing fresh & tasty food. Our rooms were top notch, very clean & nice linens. Lunch was amazing each day on our game drives as well, tasty & great portions. Beer, wine & fresh water on board in the fridge, what more could you ask & lovely hot coffee/tea, they had really thought of everything!
Final biggest shout out is to our guide Joshua (Rally driver Josh as we nicknamed him

Meijo magic in Tanzania!
5/5

I can highly recommend Meijo Safaris. We booked ‘The Best of Safari, Lake Eyasi & Lake Natron’ with mid-range accommodation.

Meijo is a small company that gives you the personal touch. I was impressed that Daudi, the owner, met us at the airport and saw us off the following day. He also met us on our return.

They put together the perfect tour for us to appreciate the best of Tanzanian Safari in the short time we were there. Daudi was easily contactable to discuss options and answer our questions.

We were happy with all our accommodation and were lucky enough to be upgraded twice due to availability.

We could not have asked for a better driver and guide, Herman/Superman/Super/Soops. He is a very experienced guide and well known to all the tour guides. His eagle-eyed spotting of big and small wildlife blew our minds. We were often ‘ahead of the pack (other tour operators)’ with spotting and we were so grateful that he was respectful to the wildlife and their space. Herman was a true gentleman which is important because you land up spending a lot of time with your guide on a trip like this.

I will always have fond memories of our picnic lunches. Due to our dietary requirements we were served hot meals in the middle of nowhere. Amazing!

If you want to do a similar trip to ours please be prepared to spend a lot of time in a car covering large distances. The roads were often in bad condition so it can be hard going but totally worth it!

We received numerous quotes from other operators and believed this tour was very well priced. We were also very pleased to be able to support Tanzanian businessmen who are passionate about their country’s natural wonders.

Thank you Meijo for an experience of a lifetime!
