They Want Your Money — But Don’t Care About Your Safari at All
We chose Meijo to organize our safari in Tanzania, but it quickly became clear that this company cares far more about profit than delivering a quality safari experience. The entire trip was extremely disappointing. We strongly do not recommend this company — especially beware of their coordinator Michael. Here are the major issues we personally encountered:
1. Price change after deposit — serious lack of integrity
After confirming the price and paying a 30% deposit, which Michael acknowledged receiving, he suddenly claimed that he had quoted the wrong price and asked us to pay an additional $300. To avoid losing our deposit, we were forced to negotiate and ended up paying an extra $200. This kind of post-confirmation price change is highly unprofessional and damages trust — whether it was a “mistake” or not.
2. Poor vehicle condition — safety risks
On the second day of our Serengeti trip, the vehicle broke down and we had to wait two hours at a repair shop. The car was visibly old and poorly maintained — windows couldn’t open, the windshield was full of cracks, and it felt unsafe while driving. A few days later, the spare tire even fell off, making the trunk unusable. A vehicle in such condition is completely unfit for a multi-day safari.
3. Broken promises and unauthorized itinerary changes
Before the trip, we confirmed that we would spend four days in the Serengeti, with the fourth morning reserved for game drives in the northern area before returning to Ngorongoro in the afternoon. This was clearly stated in the written itinerary and price quote. However, during the trip, the driver insisted we leave the Serengeti by 3:00 PM on the fourth day, refusing to let us do the full morning safari. The reason? They had only purchased a 3-day park permit, and any extra hours would be at our own cost. This was a serious breach of agreement and a clear case of false promises.
4. No professional guiding — ruined wildlife experience
Meijo only provided a driver, not a trained safari guide. While the driver’s driving was acceptable, he offered no explanation about the animals or environment throughout the trip. Worse still, he frequently delayed the itinerary due to handling matters unrelated to the safari. The most unacceptable incident was during a critical moment at the wildebeest river crossing: without asking, he suddenly drove away. When we demanded to know where he went, he told us he was helping a friend. Because of this, we missed the rare and dramatic scene of crocodiles hunting wildebeest — one of the highlights we had most looked forward to. This completely ruined that part of the experience.

Meijo is a top-tier tour operator that delivers seamless, thoughtfully curated, and ethically ground
Our trip to Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the incredible service from Meijo and our exceptional guide, Michael. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawlessly organized — from stunning lodges to smooth transfers. Michael was the heart of the experience: deeply knowledgeable, endlessly patient, and gifted at spotting wildlife (we saw a cheetah hunt!). His passion for Tanzania made every moment richer. Meijo’s attention to detail, ethical approach, and commitment to comfort and authenticity made this more than a vacation — it was the trip of a lifetime. I can’t recommend them enough.

The most incredible Safari for our honeymoon, thank you Meijo Safaris!!
We booked the 5 day luxury safari package for our honeymoon, and from the very first time I contacted Meijo Safari they were incredibly helpful, responsive and professional.
The Safari was planned perfectly, communicated with everyone at Meijo was seamless and we could have asked for a better service.
Michael, our Safari guide, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the wide life, geography and National Parks was second to none. He has a very good understanding of the parks, especially the Serengeti, and territories of the animals - meaning we saw all the big 5, some, many many times - it was wonderful.
Michael was super friendly, and made our trip seamless!
The hotels/lodges were also beautiful, with incredible views, extremely helpful and accommodating staff, and plenty of food and drink options.
I would highly recommend Meijo Safari to anyone looking to go on safari in Tanzania!

nice
We had an amazing safari experience thanks to this agency. Everything was planned perfectly – from the itinerary to the accommodations, which were all comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Jorden was extremely responsible and dedicated – he put great effort into helping us spot wildlife and always drove safely, even on rough terrain. The overall service was very professional, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality of the experience. Highly recommended!

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!

Incredible Honeymoon Safari!
We had the most amazing honeymoon exploring the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The landscapes and wildlife were unforgettable, but what truly made the experience special were the people we met.
A huge thank you to our guide, Herman – professional, kind, always available, and incredibly knowledgeable about animals. His driving skills and passion made every moment unforgettable.
A perfect trip we’ll never forget. Highly recommended!

Excellent company with competent and friendly professionals
We had an incredible safari experience with Meijo Safaris, exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was perfectly organized, thanks to Daudi for planning a seamless trip. A special shoutout to our guide, Jordan, who was outstanding: knowledgeable, friendly, polite, and deeply committed to ensuring we saw all the wildlife we hoped for. My husband and I had an unforgettable time and highly recommend Meijo Safaris!
