Tanzania is renowned for its iconic wildlife regions. For instance, you can choose the legendary Northern Circuit or the remote Southern Circuit for a more secluded experience. As a result, you’ll witness incredible encounters, from the Great Wildebeest Migration and the Big Five to countless other species.
Northern Circuit Highlights include:
Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and Arusha National Park.
Southern Circuit Highlights feature:
Ruaha National Park, Nyerere National Park, Udzungwa Mountains, Gombe National Park, Kitulo National Park, and Mikumi National Park. These parks offer intimate, crowd-free wildlife viewing.
Moreover, Tanzania’s appeal extends beyond wildlife into rich cultural diversity. The nation is home to 159 ethnic tribes across a vast 947,300 sq km of land and water. This creates a unique opportunity to connect with the traditions and local ways of life that make Tanzania truly special.

EXCELLENT Based on 254 reviews Posted on Nan ZVerified From Tarangire to the Mara River: The Best Safari Experience in Tanzania Our safari with Meijo Safaris was unforgettable! The itinerary (Arusha – Tarangire – Hadzabe tribe – Serengeti – Ngorongoro – Arusha) was perfectly organized, and every day brought something new and exciting.Our guide Michael was fantastic — very experienced, knowledgeable, responsible, and also fun to travel with. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, including a leopard he patiently tracked down for us. The absolute highlight was in the Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River — truly breathtaking and emotional. Michael spent a whole day making sure we were at the right place at the right time, and his professionalism made all the difference.We highly recommend Meijo Safaris and especially Michael to anyone visiting Tanzania!Posted on Dominika PVerified Outstanding safari!!! 5/5I have been on many safaris before, as I am truly passionate about Africa and its incredible wildlife, but rarely have I experienced something as extraordinary as this one. Together with my female friend, I spent three unforgettable nights in the Serengeti and also visited the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater.We saw an abundance of wildlife — the Big Five, a pride of lionesses with 13 playful cubs, a cheetah with four tiny cubs, as well as countless zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, jackals, vultures, giraffes, elephants, and so much more. Each day brought something new and magical.Our guide was absolutely exceptional: professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, always eager to share fascinating facts and stories. Every day we enjoyed delicious vegan lunches right in the middle of the savannah, which made the experience even more special. The jeep was in perfect condition — comfortable, well-maintained, and reliable throughout the journey.I have traveled with many safari companies in the past, but Meijo Safari truly stands out and will stay in my memory forever. I will definitely come back and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable safari adventure.Thank you for giving me one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. You can see all on my IG highlightsstories "Tanzania z GC"IG domi_birdPosted on Sierra LVerified Amazing safari We had a wonderful time on safari with our amazing guide Jordan! He knew so much about the animals and national parks. We saw tons of animals and had a great experience! The hot lunches definitely make this company stand out they were delicious.Posted on Sean DVerified Spectacular safari with excellent Joel. Don’t hesitate - book now for the trip of a lifetime. From London Honeymooners! We had a magical time on our honeymoon with Meijo safaris. Michael was incredibly responsive, courteous and knowledgable. Nothing was too much to ask. We went for a luxury trip and every hotel/lodge was exceptional - we couldn’t believe how good it was. The director of Meijo met us at the Arusha hotel (Gran Melia) on the first day and talked us through exactly how it would all work, which was very comforting and helpful. On to our guide, Joel: what a legend! Lovely man with EXCEPTIONAL knowledge of birds and an eagle eye for all animals. If you love birds, ask for Joel to be your guide! We had seen 4 of the big 5 in just 1.5 days, including 2 leopards. On day 3 we then completed the big 5 when we saw three cheetahs, one walked right in-front of the car. Incredible.We added the Massai visit and hot air balloon to our trip. Would recommend both of those, especially the Massai visit which was quite unforgettable for two Londoners. We would strongly recommend Meijo - and 100% Joel - excellent guide and great guy. Thank you to Michael, Joel and all of the team at Meijo. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again one day.Posted on Aoife BVerified Breathtaking safari experience with Mr Joel! Where do I start? Everything was seamless, from start to finish. The communication with Michael from the sales team from enquiry to the tour itself was better than any other company we enquired with. When our flight was arriving late at night, Michael organised an extra hotel. The team of drivers who picked us up and drove us around Arusha to our hotels and our city tour were very professional, efficient and friendly. All the places we stayed at along this tour were like a DREAM. 5* for everything. We were picked up to start our safari at 8am from Gran Melia by Mr Joel. What an incredible guide he was! So friendly from the moment we met until the very end. We headed for Tarangire that morning and couldn’t believe the level of knowledge Joel had about the different parks, all the species of animals and especially birds. He knows over 300 species of birds!! And we also called him loads about his beautiful country of Tanzania too. Joel is also Masai so he spoke to us about this culture as well which we were interested in. We felt we were in very safe hands the whole time with Joel. He is a very skilled safari driver, taking safety very seriously along with being so much fun along the way. The truck was fully stocked with cold drinks; it was washed and cleaned regularly and the lunch provided each day was delicious. We are so delighted we chose to go with MEIJO and will be recommending this company (especially JOEL) to all of our friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a truly memorable African safari experience.Posted on Ffion WisemanVerified Trip of a lifetime! Everything about this trip, and company, was absolutely incredible. I booked with Meijo based on all the fabulous reviews and I’m so glad I did. The planning process with Daudi via WhatsApp was so easy, with brilliant communication and professionalism. I picked a package on SafariBookings and personalised it to make it exactly what we wanted.Our guide, Michael, was more than we could have ever asked for - so friendly, kind, helpful, funny, knowledgeable - there aren’t enough words! He truly went above and beyond for us and we are so, so grateful. We only did a 4 day trip Arusha - Tangerie - Serengeti - Ngorogoro (I now realised this is super short for the massive distances we covered), and we saw so much that would have been impossible without him. He’s been a guide for over 5 years and it truly shows, the way he knows other guides, lodge staff, as well as of course the animals, roads, distances, everything!!! We also would have missed our flight if it wasn’t for him checking with me multiple times (they often get changed!).The biggest thank you to everyone at Meijo, this has been the trip of a lifetime and that’s thanks to all of your hard work and kindness. I’d highly, highly recommend to anyone booking a Safari in Tanzania. And if Michael is your guide, I promise you’ll have the most incredible time.Posted on vladimir aVerified Excellent Service 3 days of Safari. Very good Service. Our guide Joel super friendly and with great knowledge of birds and animals.Food was very good and the three days different. Accommodations we stayed, super clean and with good mealsPosted on Sarah YVerified Amazing trip in Kenya and Tanzania planned by the Meijo Safaris We loved Meiji safaris! Our tour guide Michael was super professional and had the eyes of an eagle! He saw cheetahs so far away that I thought they were rocks and could barely see with a binocular and super big camera lens. By the end of the day we always leave the car super gross and in the morning Michael always cleaned it up so it’s super nice and ready for a next day of commute!!! Our tour guide Michael also took us to see every animal and we saw 2 crossings. At the Mara river crossing, Michael did everything he can to give us first row with the best views. Another special thing about Michael and the tour guides here is that they’re friends with EVERYONE; we’d be driving and Michael would see friends on the way to our destination. I love the close knit community here.At Kenya Amboseli, our tour guide Pitta from masai mala was super calm and made sure we had face masks before we entered the park because of how dusty that park is! We had a short time with Pitta but during it he was amazing!Another special thanks to our consultant Michael who planned everything out perfectly for us. We were accompanied by Meijo people everywhere we went between transitions to other places, like the flight from Arusha to Serengeti.At last, I’m very glad we chose Meijo! They were professional and helpful and ensured our trip was absolutely perfect.Posted on Diana YVerified amazing tour experience with great guides! Meijo Safaris was incredible. They were very responsive to all our problems that came up along the way. We had an incredibly smooth experience despite making some changes during the tour. We did a 6 day 5 night tour in Kenya and Tanzania, with 2 days in Kenya and 3 in Tanzania (one day primarily for commute). Our guide Michael was also kind and amazing. He was dedicated throughout the tour to ensure we can see all the animals that we wanted despite the rarity of the animals appearances. We were lucky to see the river crossing twice, cheetahs and cheetahs eating impalas, and many more in only 3-4 days because our guide had a great eyesight, deep understanding of animals, and used many resources to help us. We also spent 2 days in Kenya at Amboseli and we enjoyed going through the safari with our guide Pitta. He also worked very hard to take us to the perfect positions with the perfect viewing sight of the animals. We saw a herd with dozens of elephants and a lion stand off with hyenas on our first day. Pitta was also amazing!We had so much at the tour and with our guide!Posted on Experience378982Verified Amazing safari experience We have just returned from a 5-day private safari in Tanzania organized by Meijo Safaris. We spent 5 days with them, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater parks.The offer was tailored to meet our expectations. Special thanks to Michael, who prepared it after consulting with us.Everything we saw on site was exactly as described in the offer. No unpleasant surprises. If any small problems arose, as they always do, everything was resolved quickly and efficiently, so that we did not experience any inconvenience. They work very efficiently, are flexible and available 24/7 ?, so we could focus on admiring the beautiful African nature. They were able to adjust the program, even during the Safari. When we came up with the idea of a balloon flight, everything was already organized early the next morning. They took care of us from the very beginning, from picking us up at the airport, through checking in at all hotels, taking care of all formalities, to looking after us until our departure.The safari itself was perfectly organized. Our guide, Herman, knows the area, animal habits, and local culture very well. He is very friendly and eager to share his knowledge; you can tell, that safaris are his passion. Thanks to him, we were able to see lots of animals in their natural habitat (lions, little lions cubs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, buffalos, antelopes, and many others…). And above all, it was safe. Amazing experiences at Moyo Tented Camp – the roars of lions at night nearby is an amazing experience. In the Jeep, we had an access to WiFi and phone charging ports, so contact with friends available if needed. This trip was beyond any expectations!!! So, we highly recommend Meijo Safaris to other travelers.
