Dependable and Experienced
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available in some places with max withdrawal 400,000 TSH ($160 USD) at a cost of 15,000 TSH ($6 USD) for any amount withdrawn.

Thank you Cdaisy for giving me a wonderful safri experience in Africa, the whole experience was amazing, the driver (sorry, forget his name) he took us chasing animals in Amboseli, we saw the elephants under Kilimanjaro, we saw the African leopard family, we saw 4 of the top 5 in Africa, and then arranged for us to Tanzania, Crossing the border and seeing only 500 black rhinos left in existence was a great experience, the trip of a lifetime, thank you

Real professional in this business💪🏻
It was amazing experience, first time in Africa. And we were so lucky to go to Safari with this company. Good price, amazing service, driver was very good and friendly! In Kenya he even broke his car for us, when we drive sooo fast to see cheetahs 🐆 It was soo cool. In just two days with them we already saw 4 animals from big five. And 5th we saw in Tanzania, when we also went with Super eagles. Me and my gf travel a lot. But here, it was something new, like another planet. And we happy we’ve been there with this company ☺️

Best first safari experience
We booked 3-day Kruger safari departing from Johannesburg. Communication with the company was good, quick and ongoing.
Our stay was at Kruger Adventure Lodge, which was a luxurious lodge with a pool and good included breakfast and dinner.
All included safaris went excellent, we had a great ranger who was invested in ensuring all the best sightings for the group. We saw all big 5 in three days. We entered Phabeni gate, if you want to know.
Transfer from and to Johannesburg was smooth and comfortable.
I overall recommend this firm for a positive safari experience.

Omar was incredible helping us see all the animals up close
Omar was very knowledgeable about all the animals in the Serengeti and ngorongoro area. He was able to tell us about all the animals in the area and he helped us see all of them very close. He was also very flexible helping us change our plans regarding where and what time to stop for food and restrooms.
Overall it was an amazing experience and I would return to do this safari with Omar again.

Superb experience with Cubs Expeditions
This was our first trip to Tanzania. We are so glad that we chose Cubs Expeditions for organizing our safari tour. When planning our trip, we received many quotes but no one was flexible enough to meet our requirements.
We wanted a hotel in Serengeti with physical walls and no tents. Every other tour operator was giving us options with tented structures. Humphrey was the only one who agreed to book a hotel with proper walls. At the same time, he kept the cost within our budget.
Plus, we requested for vegetarian food for all our meals. Humphrey and his team managed it all. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew several spots where we could see wildlife. He suggested some changes in our itinerary to make the most of our 5-day trip.
Cubs Expeditions team is very professional and made our trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend booking your safari with them.

Dreamed Safari trip with family
This trip was a dream came true.
The team was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
I have a biology degree and have been obsessed with wild life ever since I came across Discovery Channel as a kid. So I was extremely prepared for my Safari experience.
Our driver and guide, OMARY was amazing. He entertained every single one of my questions, some of them extremely technical (and there were a ton of them). He shared so much knowledge with me. I could have never dreamed of a better experience.
Additionally, we also got the chance to see so many animals, so very close.
Omary was also extremely funny and made my non-English speaking family welcomed, seen and loved throughout the whole trip.
Best safari experience I could have imagined!
