Great guide
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.

Excellent, Affordable & Best Operator in Tanzania
We have just returned from our unforgettable Adventure which was organized by Meijo Safaris.
Each day of our safari was amazing, We had a brilliant guide who knows where and When to see the best animals on action and he even speaks a very fluent English and he took care of us from the day one to the last day of our safari.
During the safari you will spend a lot of time with your guide so it’s very important to have a guide to explain to you, make jokes and tell you more of his country, Culture and history and we were very like to have Herman as our guide.
The meals was amazing and we got served hot lunches on lunchtime and our jeep was filled with plenty of Water, Wines, Beer and Soda, we saw lot of other tourists having their cold packed food.
Through Herman we learnt a lot about Animals, Cultures, He never rushed and allowed us to take many beautiful pictures as much as we wanted.
We saw all the big five, Big cats and the rest of other wild animals like antelopes, Giraffes and birds.
The roads are not good so prepare yourselves for a free African Massage as Daudi the Manager told us during the briefing.
Also trust their selection of Lodges and am sure you will never regret, Daudi suggested to us Ngorongoro Serena, Intimate Camp, Mara Luxury Lodge and Four seasons, Those lodges are expensive but unlike others Meijo prepared a proposal with reasonable price while other International agencies charged us more and more.
Always book your safari with a local agency like Meijo Safaris as we did for affordable prices. Save yourself the time we spent and Choose Meijo Safaris.
We would definitely recommend Meijo Safaris for unforgettable adventures and Mr Herman as a guide.

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.

Welcoming, adaptable, wonderful!
Me and my boyfriend used meijo safaris for my 30th birthday. Mr Edmond was our driver and was extremely knowledgable. He could spot a cheetah in a second while we were driving past, he even heard a sound whilst we were watching an animal and knew it was lions chasing an animal and took us straight there.
We were very impressed with Mr Edmond’s versatility, we were supposed to do ngorongoro crater one morning on the way to the serengeti but it was cloudy so he advised to do a full day at serengeti and come back the next afternoon early when the weather was perfect.
We also added on a 1 day hike of kilimanjaro and the guides were great! We climbed it two hours quicker than expected so they took us to coffee and cave plantation to fill our time up before our flight.
We want to do the full climb of kilimanjaro and will definitely use meijo again! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Absolutely Worth a Second Visit
This trip to Tanzania was fantastic, especially the safari tour. Choosing Meijo as our travel agency was a wise decision. Marcelina arranged the itinerary very reasonably, and Daudi was able to solve any minor issues immediately. The best part was our guide, Andrea. He was very experienced and incredibly patient. During the safari, we not only saw the Big Five, but also numerous lions, including a group of cubs. We even witnessed a lion hunting a rhinoceros. For those who choose Meijo in the future, requesting Andrea as your guide is definitely the right choice. We enjoyed this safari so much that we plan to return in February or March to see the animal birthing season and experience the different landscapes. This trip to Tanzania changed our impression of Africa. The people here are hardworking, kind, and very hospitable. Africa is a wonderful place.

Meijo is a trustworthy safari travel agency, safe and reliable
After multiple comparisons and choices, we finally chose Meijo as our safari travel agency;
The main considerations are as follows:
1. During the communication process, Daudi was very nice and patient and gave us a lot of suggestions
2. Their company attaches great importance to safety, and the car and room were well maintained during our tour
3. The guide's eyesight is really good and can see animals from a long distance
4. It can be fully and reliably implemented according to the plan, and our hotel and service are very accurate
I look forward to Meijo becoming bigger and stronger, and I hope that I can return to Africa to travel in the near future~

The Serengeti is truly amazing!
We customized the itinerary ourselves, two nights in the northern Serengeti, one night in the central Serengeti, one night in Ngorongoro, and one night outside Tarangire. The accommodation conditions are really limited in the north, but the others are good. As far as the park is concerned, it is really a bit tasteless to see the other two parks after the Serengeti. So I recommend that you only play Serengeti for a longer time. You can add a lake in the flamingo season. The travel company is very good and almost agreed to all our requests. The deposit payment and the final payment are convenient. The guide is also very good and experienced. He took us to see almost all the animals that must be seen in Africa. The people are also very kind and gentle, knowledgeable about animals and plants, and answer any questions. So, our trip to East Africa is a wonderful and unforgettable memory! Thank you! If you have other needs, you can tell this company in advance and there will be a reply soon.

Nature's Majesty: Expedition Through Africa's Wildlife Paradises with Meijo Safaris and Assad
We recently had the pleasure of doing our first safari in Tanzania. And it was more than extraordinary. From start to finish, this safari exceeded all our expectations.
Itinerary and Activities:
The itinerary was perfect-planned. Since the first contact with Michael of Mejio Safari's we got a lot of suggestions, uncomplicated and directly response so we could figure out our prefect individual Safari. Unfortunately one of our bags didn't reach out our destination due to a mistake of the airline. So Michael helped us out and managed the whole process so we were able to get the bag as early as possible back. An additional positive aspect were the way they do they do their "lunchbags". Different to the others they had meddal boxes which were filled by the accommodations - instead of paperboys with sandwiches like a lot of others we saw at the lunch-breaks.
Our Guide Assad:
He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and ecosystem. He had always an answer for all of our questions - no matter which topic - and inspired us with his love of wildlife and especially the Serengeti. For us he was not only the guide, he was more than that. He was our Swahili teacher, dictionary, and encyclopedia all in one, always eager to create a positive atmosphere and help us make unforgettable memories. Assad is a very warm-hearted, well prepared and organized professional. In addition it should also be mentioned that he's speaking very good English.
Wildlife Experiences:
The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the wildlife sightings. We were fortunate to see the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and last but not least the rhino—along with countless other animals. Each drive brought new surprises, making every outing exciting -
not just because of the animals but also because of the landscapes.
Accommodations:
The lodges we had individually chosen were in different categories. What they had really all in common: The staff were super warm and attentive to make us feel comfortable. Each evening, we enjoyed delicious meals and they prepared the lunch for the following day. The rooms/tent we had were all perfectly clean with warm-water and W-Lan even though you were partly in the middle of nowhere. We really had nothing to complain.
Overall Experience:
5of5 Stars of Experience as well as 5of5 of Big Fives :)
We always will remember this incredible Safari. Big thanks for that to our Meijo Safari's and especially our guide Assad!

I compared it for a long time and chose this one, it’s really great!
My African itinerary was completely my own, and it was very customized, and it was a 7-day safari + 3-day trip to Tanzania. My friends also flew to Tanzania from all over the country. At first, I found many companies on safari booking and sent emails to consult, but it was obvious that many of the replies were irrelevant. After several rounds of communication, the hotel and itinerary given by meijo were the best. Our guide Miko was very experienced and humorous. We watched the big five in Ngorongoro on the first day of departure and were stunned. There were new surprises every day afterwards, leopards 🐆 carrying antelopes up trees, cheetah cubs, and lions mating. The most amazing thing was in October, when we watched two Tianhe crossings in the morning. We all said that we should just change our name to "Dream Travel Agency" and we can see anything we want. We also experienced heavy rain on the grasslands in the dry season. There were many stuck cars in front, and everyone went to help. The photographer said that the people here are more united. The road to Lake Natron is also very bad, but the scenery is super beautiful. I always thought there were only two accommodations here, and the travel agency changed me to another newly opened one, which is much better than the two hotels uploaded on Xiaohongshu. But I wasn’t careful enough and didn’t pick up any flamingo feathers. I should have looked for more and brought some back!
