Best experience from start to finish
We took part in a 5 day “joining tour”. This meant that the tour companies put together people in the same vehicle who are going to the same places as to minimize the number of empty seats (and make it affordable for us). We ended up loving our group for the first 3 days! We all camped in Ngorongoro crater rim and Serengeti and it was stunning! We saw the “big 5” the first two days!
GUIDE: Our guide, Freddy, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got two flat tires and every tour operator stops to help each other which makes for very quick fixes! I love the camaraderie.
FOOD: The food was AWESOME. Davis was our chef. He makes multi-course meals 3 times a day and cleans everything! We came to learn he’s only 18 years old. Such a talent! We had things I didn’t know could be cooked in the bush- pizza, quiche, tarts, au-gratin potatoes, beef, and the most amazing soups (different every day)! Seriously, after the lions, I was most impressed with the food.
FLEXIBILITY: We ended up being exhausted the last day and decided to change our itinerary from Lake Manyara to Materuni waterfall because we were told the animals had migrated away from the lake. That really gave us a chance to diversify our trip too! Joel was our guide and he was fantastic. He taught us about plans and coffee on our 5 km round trip hike to the falls. He took great pics too! My shoes were broken at the falls and he lent me a hand on the hike back which I so appreciated.
OVERALL: This company is well coordinated. The director was very responsive via WhatsApp, constantly letting me know changes as they occurred or helping us adjust our itinerary. Bonus: he even came to our hotel to ensure we were happy with everything. We are so happy with our experience and highly recommend them!

Incredible adventure with a great organiser!!
We had a very nice experience with Meijo Safaris!! Everything was very well organised. Daudi was reliable and he answered all our questions very quickly. We were so happy for his support. We spent a 4 day Safari in the Tarangire, Ngorongoro Nationalpark and Serengeti. Everything was perfect from the beginning on. We really appreciatet the service and enjoyed our trip to the fullest. The Lodges were absolutely amazing. The Staff was kind and supportive.
Thank you Meijo Safaris for this incredible adventure. We will never forget these days!!!

Amazing tour and Aruni was the BEST guide!
This was my first safari and trip to Kenya and it was amazing! The value of this trip is phenomenal considering you get 3 meals a day, accommodation, transportation, and an experienced, knowledgeable guide. The accommodations are at an eco camp, but they were very well maintained and offered great service. Aruni, our guide, was fantastic and we were able to see all the animals we came for including the Big 5. There were even some optional additional tours offered that were also amazing. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend.

Kikitu was an excellent guide. From the minute he picked us up, we instantly felt like we were in good hands and that it would be an amazing experience. He truly made us feel like family and made sure we got the best of everything.

It was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Our tour guide Kikitu was extremely knowledgeable and fun, we got to see the magnificent landscape, all the beautiful, wild animals and we had the chance to appreciate the Maasai mara reserve in the best way possible. The whole experience was unforgettable!

Amazing Tour Around Uganda
I don’t know even where to begin. I had always wanted to visit Africa and I was presented an opportunity five months ago when meeting someone who had this itinerary already planned and booked with Gorilla O Clock. I had no idea what to expect seeing as I have never been on a safari before, but man let me tell you- it was an experience I will never forget and one that has inspired me to start planning my return trip. Chimpanzee and gorilla trekking were on our itinerary and in my head was going to be the highlight of the trip. Every single day was the highlight, every day was unique and amazing in its own way. Even the long drives in between the different regions were amazing, the views of Uganda are ever changing and absolutely beautiful. We traveled in a large circle around the country to get the most out of Uganda and we wasted no time. I was mesmerized by each and every culture and region we went to. I loved the community visits with the school children, the Batwa village and we even had the chance to watch how a local community in Bwindi made their famous banana beer and gin. The people of Uganda are so welcoming and excited to see tourists, especially the children who run up to you screaming “hello” and waving as you pass by.
Our guide for the entire trip was Jacob K. and I have to say he was the reason our experience was so great. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored the trip to fit our interests. Myself and my travel partner were thrilled to have Jacob be a part of our amazing trip. I was impressed at the end when Jacob and Paul sat down with us, while I had my last Dawa tea, and went day by day asking how each experience was and asking for any critiques or recommendations. We had zero complaints, only wishing we had more time than the two weeks that we were there.
I believe in supporting small businesses, like Gorilla O Clock, and this is why, they go above and beyond and treat you like family. It was really sad to say goodbye to Jacob as we left for the airport, but I will be seeing him again in the near future for the next trip to Uganda.
Thank you so much to Gorilla O Clock for such a wonderfully planned trip that will forever be my best memories.

Very knowledgeable and responsive - they delivered a great tour.
It was a pleasure making all the plans with a company run by a former tour guide that knows how to provide the best experience. The service was top notch, they were completely reliable and we had a fantastic experience. It could not have been better. And, our guide was exceptional. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job, being as responsive, and knowledgeable of all the animals in East Africa. It was simply a pleasure going with our guide, Gilbert, and Lion King.

Extremely resourceful planners. Well planned tour
Did a one day safari from Zanzibar to Selous. Got picked up from Stone town and the driver was able to safely hold on to our luggage while we went on the experience and subsequently dropped us off in our next lodging. Although I didn't know this at the time, the company provides a camera guy who captures all the necessary moments so you can just focus on fully engaging in the experience and you'll get great pictures from the experience a day or so later (FOR FREE). Lunch was also delicious and the company was able to meet our very specific car requirements. Sylvia helped with the reservations and with planning our whole experience and making sure our numerous requests were met. Our driver was great as well, he stopped so we could closely observe the animals and answered all the questions we had. Please note this is a one day Safari so you won't get to see every single animal but you do get to see a lot
