An amazing, relaxing, and worthwhile trip!
We contacted Meijo on our October holiday and set up an 8 day trip.
Firstly in terms of results, we saw the African Five and even saw a lot of animal cubs, the great migration, hunting and other behaviours. So very awesome, great experience and well worth it! Thank you to our guide Herman! He was quite experienced, and as we chatted, we mentioned that he went to a guide related school and has been in the industry for almost 10 years. He was really familiar with animal postures, easy perch locations, and even hiding ways. He also knows a lot of species, and to be honest, some of the antelopes were really hard to tell apart. And he was so attentive that when we wanted juice at lunch on our second day, we had juice in all our lunches after that. Then when we ate an apple and spit out the skin, all the fruit after that was watermelon and pineapple without skin. Herman provided 80% of the experience!
Another point of concern for everyone should be the accommodation. After we confirmed our accommodation and paid the deposit, we were told that there were no rooms available in our confirmed accommodation. None of us were too happy about this. This is because the rooms we had previously selected were the ones we had done a lot of comparison with. Secondly, we were told that there were no rooms available during our actual stay, but this was supposed to be the hotel's problem, not Meijo's. Herman helped to confirm this with Meijo's at the same time, and in the end, helped us to get a refund. We still think the positive response in this regard is awesome!
Lastly, we would like to mention that on the first day of our trip, two of us booked the Wildlife excursion and did not have accommodation. But Meijo forgot to book it for us due to staff communication or handover issues. And we waited for more than 2 hours in Wildlife, almost closed. wildlife staff kept pushing us to pay for the tickets in advance, but we actually don't have that much cash. Called meijo 4 or 5 times before and after and it took very, very long time to get it resolved. So we didn't feel very good physically on the first day and hopefully this won't happen in the future! Also Wildlife, although they say they are rescuing animals, we found that the staff still intimidate the lions with wooden sticks when tourists take photos with them. There is still captive and tame behaviour going on and we probably won't go back after that.
Overall, other than the two issues mentioned earlier, the rest of the trip went smoothly! At the end meijo gave us a gift. I'm planning to take my parents back again in a few years and should choose meijo again! Hope their service gets better and better.

Easy uncomplicated communication, on time and professional.
We had an amazing time, saw all the big 5 and even more wildlife than we expected. Our personal favorite was the full day in Masai mara. If we could do it again we would skip Nakuru, i.e. do Masai mara and Amboseli. Nakuru Park was very beautiful but the drive was very long and we stayed in a hotel next to the city, not a camp. The accommodations had everything we needed and the food was good, the best one was at Amboseli at Manjaro tented camp, where we had giraffes, zebras and impalas just outside the camp. Albert, our guide and driver, was a bit shy at first but opened up during the trip, always on time and very professional.

Beautiful
I'm a 25yo woman and I stayed at the Kruger Adventure Lodge solo. I choose the 5 day 4 night package. Given that it was located outside the park, I was impressed by the amount of wildlife we got to see. The lodge itself was great, it had a very intimate feel and I got to know the other travelers and staff throughout my stay.

Michael, our operator was excellent. He seemed to know what we wanted. He got us there.
We had a great time and our operator was knowledgeable and courteous. I want to do it again!!

Great customer service.
We were referred to Mike by a trusted friend, and he's proven to be exceptional. His customer service is accommodating and responsive. We tested him with a multifamily trip on short notice, and despite last-minute changes, he handled everything calmly and efficiently. He kept in touch throughout the trip, resolving any issues that arose. As long as you communicate your standards clearly, you're in good hands with Mike.

Masai Mara National park with Cytravel!
Fantastic trip a lot of different animals in the park. Generally I liked it. Suggest to take always good camera with you.
Also I liked the way from Nairobi to park, because it is possible to see the real African culture and lifestyle.
Generally my expectations approved, but the price for this trip too high.

Memorable One-day Safari with Outstanding Service
We recently did a one-day safari with Widman and his team, and overall, it was a great experience. From the start, Widman was very accommodating, making sure all our requests were met, which we really appreciated.
On the day of the trip, the team was professional and approachable, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. But what truly stood out was their genuine and friendly nature, which made the experience even more memorable. Widman’s decision to join us personally was a nice touch.
For a one-day safari, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we got to see. The team’s effort to make the most of our time was evident, and we left feeling like we’d experienced more than we expected.
We’d definitely recommend Widman and his team to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable safari experience.

Dependable and accurate.
CyTravel held their end of the bargain and came through for my family and I. Sarah answered to all of my requests and even got us a French speaking guide Islam who is profoundly knowledgeable as a guide.
We’d booked the safari at the last minute but all the tasks were professionally carried out.
Thank you Sarah and Cytravel for a memorable experience.
