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

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!

The agency proved to be highly professional and trustworthy.
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.

Very professional operator & well organized tour
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.

Very good
The itinerary was perfect, with a mix of relaxed and intense activities. We spotted many animals, including antelopes, giraffes, and cheetahs. We witnessed many surprising moments, including a giraffe birth, lions hunting, and a cheetah crossing the road. Michael was an excellent guide, and we witnessed many fascinating moments.

An extremely exciting, interesting and novel trip
This was my second safari, but it didn't dampen my excitement and joy at all!
Tanzania truly has excellent wildlife resources. The vast Serengeti grasslands, with their varying climates, create diverse ecosystems and diverse animal populations.
Our guides, Jorden and Othman, were excellent. They were attentive, humorous, playful, and professional. Great!
