There are not enough stars to do justice to Meijo Safaris
Seeing Africa is amazing in itself, but Meijo Safari’s level of personal service is unmatched. Throughout our entire safari experience, every detail was considered and executed with seamless excellence, from booking our safari to being met at the airport upon arrival. Whenever I left something behind in a lodge, it was waiting for me at the next stop. Our safari guide Jordan was knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to meet. It was he who really brought our group together socially. During our trip, we met many wonderful people! He was one of our favorite drivers and guides, he had a knack for finding animals we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Even when we returned to Nairobi before heading home, Evelyn managed our logistics and provided us with a little surprise! We stayed in luxury lodges and camps. Food was delicious. The bush… the drives, breakfast, dinner, and sundowners were breathtaking; my friends and family are getting tired of hearing me talk about them! Meijo's team firmly believed in the company's reputation for excellence and worked hard to ensure that every guest had an excellent experience.

It's worth the wait
In general, I don't write reviews, but I have to tell anyone planning an African vacation to consider Meijo Safaris. My initial intention was that this trip would be a "one and done" experience, however now I am planning a second trip to Africa with Meijo Safaris. Their meticulous planning and attention to detail enhances your trip from the time you book it until the time you depart Africa.
Our whole trip to Tanzania was customized to our needs, and they handled every aspect of it for us. There are no words to describe how highly I recommend this.

African Dreams Come True - And More!
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this company!
We greatly appreciated Daudi's help with planning and tailoring our trip to meet our needs. We were able to create our dream safari and Zanzibar trip with his help. Honestly, I could not have planned a better trip if it weren't for Him.
I was so impressed with how easy he made everything. Every place he recommended for us to stay was charming and had wonderful service. A big thank you to our safari guide Tariq as well! He never got tired of answering our millions of questions and knew when to let nature take its course, so we saw some amazing animals. Our experience with MEIJO Safaris was incredible in such a breathtaking country!

Perfectly organized, very friendly and an incredible experience.
Everything was perfect. We received a tour offer with all details and were in contact before our safari to arrange the pick-up. Even though our flight was delayed for 5 hours, the pick-up was arranged and we had not to wait for the driver. Every person was super friendly and also the lodges were very clean and perfect for our stay. Our driver and cook were absolutely amazing. We saw everything we could have never imagined to see and felt super safe all the time. Sleeping in tents was a great experience and provided an option to see even more animals at night. I highly recommend everyone to choose this tour.

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

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

Meijo magic in Tanzania!
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!

Well organized Safari operator
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

unforgettable experience in the savannah
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.
