Meijo Safaris guide Abdul - he made us feel the heartbeat of Africa
5/5

If I had to thank one person for this trip, it wouldn't be for the animals I saw, but for meeting Abdul. He made me understand that a true guide opens more than just paths through the wilderness; they open doors to emotions and connections.

Before meeting Abdul, Africa to me was nothing more than the magnificent scenes in "Animal World," the "Big Five" waiting to be checked off a checklist. After meeting him, Africa became a living being with warmth, a breath of life, a heartbeat. This transformation stems from the way Abdul views this land—not the gaze of an employee looking at their workplace, but the deep affection of a child looking back at their mother's home.

I'll never forget that evening. As our car quietly parked near a herd of elephants, Abdul, instead of rushing into statistics, said in a near-whisper, "Look at that baby elephant, cuddling close to its mother. In Africa, family is everything." In that moment, I saw more than just "a herd of elephants," but the warm daily life of a family. The golden sunset shone upon them, and the air was filled with dust and tranquility. Abdul's silence was more powerful than any words. He gave us space to feel, to let that sacred tranquility reach our hearts. My eyes suddenly welled up, for I had touched the soul of this land, and Abdul was that gentle guide.

He had a strange magic that could transform a "sightseeing" into a "heart-to-heart." When he pointed to a lone male buffalo and whispered that it might have left the herd due to old age, his tone was free of judgment, only of deep understanding. In his eyes, each animal wasn't just a symbol, but an individual with a story to tell. He taught us to "observe" with respect and empathy, rather than "conquer" with a curiosity-driven mindset.

What touched me most was his sincerity, which went beyond service. One day, I was a little tired from a long, bumpy ride, and Abdul keenly noticed. He didn't point it out. Instead, he stopped the car on a breathtakingly beautiful hill, poured us some hot tea, and, gazing into the distance, said, "Here, sometimes doing nothing, just breathing, is the best safari." At that moment, he ceased to be a knowledgeable expert and became a fellow traveler, sharing his most intimate love for this land.

At farewell, Abdul shook our hands and said with a smile, "Now, you too have a friend in Africa." These words are more precious than any official thank-you.

So, if you ask me how Abdul was as a guide, I won't start by telling you how many cheetahs or lion prides he found. I'll tell you that he redefined my approach to nature. He gave us a journey to experience with our hearts, not just our eyes. He left us with more than just the thousands of photos in our cameras, but a heart warmed and stirred by the African sunset, the dust, and the vitality of life.

5/5

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.

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!

This African safari experience far exceeded our expectations! And all of this was thanks to our exceptional guide, Assad.
Not only does he possess an eagle's eye, enabling us to spot hidden cheetahs and leopards in the vast savannah, but he's also a true animal behaviorist. He patiently explained the habits and interesting facts about each animal, transforming the entire safari into a vivid natural history lesson.
Assad's professionalism, passion, and deep love for the land deeply touched us. If you want a truly unforgettable safari, be sure to choose Assad as your guide!
