Great experience all around
5/5

The tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was all very well organized - we did not have to worry about a thing. The driver Herman was very knowledgeable and easy going. He tried his best to go above and beyond to find the animals and explain what/who/why was happening. The food was of great quality as well, hot meals 3 times a day - wide variety to choose from. Finally, lodges we stayed at were exceptional - made part of the experience. Noone tried to be pushy and sell us anything on additional along the way so there are no hidden costs.

Dependable and Experienced
5/5

Our guide, Michael, did a fantastic job driving; locating game; and explaining the plants, animals, and people we encountered on our 8-day safari. Prosper, our chef, prepared excellent meals using fresh ingredients that included sufficient fruits, vegetables, and meats, and, most importantly, the food was delicious.

The only concern during the safari was we seemed to start the day later than I would like given that most predators sleep during the day. We did see plenty of sleeping lions, but I preferred to see them while they were more active. After discussing this with Michael and Prosper, they agreed to an early start, and we were the first truck to enter the Ngorongoro crater that day.

The only concern after the safari is that, when I went to write the review here, I noticed that the last review was by someone with my last name. While I am dubious that this is a review from an actual customer, I still want to recommend Meijo to others from someone who did indeed go on an 8-day safari with Meijo.

Here are some recommendations for others:

Discuss the exact lodging that will be provided. I was under the impression that we were only staying one night in a tent and was surprised to learn that there were three nights planned in tents. After reading the proposal again, I realized that this was a possibility, but it was not clear whether a tent or room would be provided.

If you want to start your game drives at sunrise, make sure you tell Daudi, the owner, before he finalizes the plans so the guide and chef are prepared. In this case, I would plan to leave an extra generous tip since the chef will have to wake up extra early to prepare a warm breakfast.

Daudi recommends $10 daily minimum tip. I personally feel this is inadequate and would hope others are willing to leave a much more generous tip.

Bring plenty of cash to tip sufficiently and buy things as needed. None of the places we went accepted cards. Bring USD in the amount sufficient to tip for the best service possible and decrease as needed if the staff doesn't meet your expectations. Add to this amount any additional you want to allot for souvenirs, snacks and coffee purchases, and unexpected expenses. Upon arrival, the driver can take you to the best exchange. There are ATMs available in some places with max withdrawal 400,000 TSH ($160 USD) at a cost of 15,000 TSH ($6 USD) for any amount withdrawn.

Words special words to explain how professional this company is....
5/5

We wish we could have more words to explain.
We were on a safari with Mr Michael as our guide even if i dont have experience with another guide to compare but am sure he is the one of the best guide in Tanzania.
He is very professional and speaks both fluent english language and french language, he got eagle eyes to see even the hidding animals from miles away and he always use a binocular just to confirm and he never wrong.
He is calm, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about animals behaviour and his culture.
We saw each and every wild animals and the highlight was the Ngorongoro Crater with its beautiful highlands and so many animals just in one place inside the Caldera.

We can definitely recommend Meijo Safaris and Michael as a Guide.

Amazing, Difference, Thrilling
5/5

What a fantastic 3 day safari!! The man to have is Asaad what a guy and what a tour guide. He was very attentive, he gave us great knowledge about the safari, animals and the park. This made the experience that little more special as we learnt about the culture of massai village too! he never promised anything he couldn't guarantee which made our safari that much better when he took us to some of his favourite spots and we was greeted by lions, buffalo's, elephants, black rhinos and so much more, if you have any plan to go safari so do it eoth Meijo safaris.
Thanks again for an amazing trip and best guide Asaad.

Great guide
5/5

We recently went on a safari with Meijo Safaris, and overall, it was a great experience. They managed to organize everything on short notice, which we really appreciated, as it allowed us to embark on this adventure without much delay.

A special thanks goes to our guide, Herman. He genuinely put in the effort to make sure we enjoyed the experience and got the chance to see as many animals as possible. What stood out to us was his respect for the animals and the environment. While we saw other guides getting too close and disturbing the animals, Herman made sure we kept a respectful distance, allowing the animals to approach us out of curiosity rather than fear.
