The most fantastic safari experience!
5/5

If you want a full experience of a great safari trip, then look no further than Meijo Safaris!

When we arrived at our first hotel, we were greeted warmly by Daudi, who gave us the run down on our itinerary for the week. Daudi left us to rest for the night and we were crazy with excitement for what the days to come would bring!

We met our expert guide Herman the following day and he was absolutely fantastic, he did his utmost best to make sure we experienced the safari to the fullest. Herman's extensive knowledge and expertise enabled him to answer any and every question we had about the animals.
We were made to feel comfortable and happy at every step.
We can't thank him enough!

All the hotels and lodges that Meijo Safaris organised for us had incredibly breathtaking views and we were given the best rooms they could offer. We could even see zebras up close from our balcony!

On our last day Daudi took us through the city of Arusha to try to find a special gift for my husband's mother. It proved difficult to find but Daudi went out of his way to locate it for us which we appreciated so much.

We would like to thank the Meijo Safaris team for making our honeymoon a week we will never forget! We both hope to be back with you guys again for future adventures :)

The tour operator was communicative and transparent throughout the whole process.
5/5

We found the mid-range option we chose for the duration of our 4-day safari perfect. The accommodation, food, travel plan was comfortable and we never had to worry about a thing. The safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Alpha, was extremely knowledgeable and we had conversations not only about the animals, but Tanzanian life, culture, traditions, etc.

Our Serengeti safari trip was unforgettable! Thanks to Meijo safari specially to daudi who has been extremely active in communicating with us before reaching Tanzania , those prompt responses made us feel very confident and comfortable ! Everything was planned well , pick ups were spot on time every day , luxury at its best in terms of lodges @ Serengeti Serena & intimate luxury camps !
Special mention for Herman who has not been the best guide for us but an amazing friend that whole time ! He made sure that we see great migration of wildebeest, big cats - a lot of those !

Best Ever Experienced Holiday With Meijo Safaris
5/5

We had a 7 days luxury safari with Meijo Safaris, we celebrated our honeymoon with a well-arranged itinerary. We had a chance to visit Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngororongoro and Lake Natron.
We received an excellent service throughout our safari, the lodges was very nice and friendly as we also had many animals visiting near the lodges.
We saw the big 5 and the Wildebeest Migration, our guide Mr Herman a.k.a the SUPERMAN knows so much about animals and birds, he also pointed animals from the distance without using binoculars his sense in the park is very interesting and incredible.
We felt very safe and well looked before and after the safari as we had to spend two days in Arusha for relaxation after a long and interesting tour.
We had hot meals through out the whole safari plus soft drinks and wines, other clients like us who booked with other companies had only lunch boxes and we were the only one eating a hot meal.

Daudi the owner is very polite and very friendly, He met us upon arrival and the day we finished our safari he was at the hotel waiting for us to get the feedback, he is a caring man and i see Meijo Safaris becoming to be a big company with lots of clients under his control with the stuffs.

If you are thinking of booking a safari do not hesitate and you will have unforgettable experience of more than what you paid just like us.
I would highly recommend them without hesitation.
Book with the Locals.

unforgettable experience in the savannah
5/5

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.

Well organized Safari operator
5/5

We had a very good safari with some changes in the queue of activities. We saw a lot of animals. Everything was offered as booked and the meals prepared by the cook were amazing.
One bad thing was the behaviour of one guide regarding to the tipping. We gave a lot but before he has even looked at the money the guide forced us to give even more. That was outrages, unnecessary and really annoying at the end of the trip. Nevertheless the operator, the camps and organization were perfect. we had a briefing the day before the trip and another conversation at the end which was very positive, professional and customer friendly

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!

Meijo went the extra mile

Meijo offered excellent value for money and was flexible when we planned our tour beforehand.
I would highly recommend them and be sure to ask for Superman (Herman) as your guide.

Meijo Safaris guided by Tariq was a life changing experience for my wife and me!
5/5

Meijo Safaris guided by Tariq, experienced guide and naturalist, was a life changing experience for my wife and me.

We met local Maasai chiefs and villagers in their boma, explored the Serengetti, Ngorongoro caldera, and the Tarangire national park near Arusha.

Meeting with and learning about the Maasai and studying the behavior of the animals in the parks was extraordinary.

What made this experience stand out was the reliability, knowledge and care offered by Meijo travels and their guide Tariq.

This life changing experience should be shared with all people around the world and locals in Arusha.

Our hearts were imbued with the experience in Tanzania by the charm, care and experiences we had.

We saw Leopards and their prey, Cheetahs and their cubs, Warthogs, Wilde beasts, Lions and Lionesses in their prides, Zebras, Elephants, Rabbits, Thompson Gazelles, the elusive Black Rhino, Baboons, Hyenas and more.

Our advice is to spend more time in Serengetti per Meijo Safari’s advice, study the behavior of the animals, don’t just go for the quick pictures, and request Tariq as he is an extremely knowledgeable guide.

We hope you begin planning your trip with Meijo Safari’s as we are already contemplating a much longer trip in the future!

Wishing you all the best on your travels to Tanzania!

Top class operation. Couldn’t find any faults with the service!
5/5

Having been on other trekking experiences I can safely say Meijo safaris is the most professional, friendly and accommodating company I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Daudi and the boys looked after us from the minute we landed until we departed Tanzania. No stone was left unturned! Our guides on both safari and Kilimanjaro hike were very friendly and professional and did everything they could to make us feel at home. The value we received was unrivalled. I was very impressed by how the team felt like a team of brothers from guide to porters it was all one big family. A special mention to the efforts made to reduce environmental impact and make the experience sustainable. Full marks for the experience I will be back!
