This has been a long-awaited trip after the lockdown due to the pandemic. Never wanted anything to go awry with the plans, so Thomas was a gem. Their plans for us were on the money. The picturesque wilderness, the unique wildlife encounters, thrilling Big-Five game experiences, and romanticizing the trip with the camping is something I will never forget. Thanks a lot for planning this awesome 5 days & 4 nights trip to Tanzania. I truly admired the wonders of Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Manyara. I would love to come back with my better half and spend a romantic evening in Ngorongoro crater, sinking in the fiery beauty of its sunset. I would highly recommend Migration Venture Africa to my friends and acquaintances planning a trip to Tanzania.

Migration Venture provided us an amazing experience
5/5

We booked our 5 day safari through Serengeti with Migration Venture because of its reviews. Since day 1 they were very careful with us, our driver Thomas was thoughtful, explained everything, help us when we needed and always sought the best spots for the game drive. The price was affordable, good value for money. I recommend 100% !

Awesome service at a reasonable price
5/5

We were a group of 3 people traveling to Tanzania. We used Migration Venture Africa for a safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro as well as the hike up Kilimanjaro. We mostly worked with Amos to organize both trips. Amos was very responsive via email and later via WhatsApp. Once we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport there was someone to pick us up and take us to Moshi. We stayed at their motel in Moshi. While it's passable for one nights stay and at $25 a night I wasn't going to complain, I would pay a little but more and stay at a slightly better place if we had to do it again.

Our guide to Serengeti and Ngorongoro was God Love. He was fantastic. He kept us on schedule (as much as he could), was super knowledgeable and had an eye for spotting wildlife. We saw four of the big five animals while touring with him, in addition to all the other grazing animals. We stayed at the Tokaone resort in Serengeti and it was a really nice place to stay. Food was great, accommodation was clean and the hot shower was awesome.

Our Migration Venture Africa team that guided us up to the Kilimanjaro summit and back was just awesome. We chose the Marangu route to hike up. From our guides Joseph and Good Luck to our cook (we just called him Mamma ;-)), our waiter Adam and the rest of the porters they were just the best group. They paced us up the trail to give us the best chance of summiting. The food was good and enough. Their words of encouragement and gentle push up the final climb is what allowed us to summit Mt. Kili. Even the driver who took us and brought us back from the park entrance in Marangu was awesome.

My only gripe is with the tipping system. I wish it would just get built into the price of the tour instead of us trying to figure out how much to give to each person. We didn't know how many people would be on our team (porters, guides etc.) so it was difficult to budget. In addition, you don't want to give someone less than what they deserve or need. Same for the safari guide as well. We ended up taking 45 minutes after we got back into Moshi to put cash into envelopes for each person based on the guidance from Migration Ventures as well as reading through Lonely Planet and some forums on Trip Advisor. This was probably my least favorite part of my experience.

Migration Ventures was easy to work with and is a good value for money. I researched a few other tour companies and they were able to provide the safari and the Kili hike at the best price. With the exception of the hostel stay, I did not feel like I was on a budget tour. If I visited the area again I would not hesitate to use Migration Ventures again and I would recommend them without any hesitation.

Lifetime experience
5/5

We have booked individual 6-day tour. The communication was easy and profesdional from the booking time and onwards. We were met in the airport just in time. Our guide, Tomas, is an amazing, very professional and experienced guide and driver. He was always polite, ready to answer any questions, very punctual. He knows every meter in the parks, every animal and bird. He sees 360 degrees around at the same moment - he pointed to the animals we could hardly find with binoculars! Food and living were very good, everyone tried to do our vacation the best. And the safary itself was a miraculous experience! Every day was different: we saw fighting elephants, hunting cheetahs, lions bypassing the jeep... And much and much more impresssions! This was definitely a lifetime experience. We are very grateful to the guys from Migration for making our dreams come true.

5/5

We loved it from the beginning to the end. Amos (manager), from the first moment offered everything and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We were pleasantly surprised by Moshi, it has countless corners that are beautiful. Issa (Amos’s partner) was with us for 2 days, where we were able to discover Hotsprings (spectacular) and a couple of routes through Marangu, where you can do the tour of the Café and the waterfalls of Ndoro. We had a little mishap with the reflex camera and Issa helped us in everything to contact a guy in the city and to be able to solve it, Thank you! : ) You can also hire Safaris with them.

Outstanding Experience during Kilimanjaro climb - 7 day Lemosho route
5/5

Migration Venture provided an extraordinary and a very pleasurable end-to-end experience for us during our successful Kilimanjaro climb through the Lemosho route.

Starting with ease of interaction with Amos at the point of sale to the patience exhibited by our able and highly experienced guides, Epa and Joseph along with an outstanding team of porters, cooks and tent folks, our overall experience was simply outstanding.

They all came together to constantly motivate and help us through out the way to successfully summit the Uhuru peak one day ahead of schedule. This really helped us with additional time to rest and recuperate after the climb.

The accommodations arranged by the company pre- and post-climb at Chanya Lodge in Moshi was equally delightful. The staff out there, the wonderful ambience inside and outside our room, and the restaurant food made us so much feel welcome and at home.

We could have never dreamed of accomplishing this feat without their help. Kilimanjaro climb does expose us to very harsh environmental conditions ( extreme temperature changes and UV radiation from the Sun), with steep grades at various points during the climb. It is nearly impossible to simulate such conditions and train effectively for a 15K ft+ climb prior to the climb.

Yet, we were able to completely avoid an signs of early fatigue, burnout or high altitude sickness and I would attribute all of that success to Epa, Joseph and the team of porters.

I would not hesitate to climb again with these wonderful and highly committed folks, perhaps in about 2 years from now.

5/5

We are very happy with the safari!
We enjoyed the ride to Mikumi and the sights and animals!
We were able to see all of the animals that we wanted in this park.
The Guide was great and did a commendable job getting us safely from the hotel to the park and back! He was very punctual too, waiting at the hotel entrance with a tidy car at 6am.
He was also great at showing us where to look for the animals, and was flexible with our requests to sit down and eat or go sightseeing. For us this was a perfect experience.

Incredible hospitality and wonderful experience! Highly recommend
5/5

We spent two weeks with Migration Venture Africa and successfully climbed Kilimanjaro followed by a safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Before we arrived all communication was handled by Amos who was extremely communicative and very timely. I felt very comfortable through the booking process. From the moment we were picked up at the airport (by Issa) we felt relaxed and comfortable from the folks at Migration. We got to the hotel and they had everything we needed. It was a simple accommodation but has everything you need - hot shower, breakfast included, lunch, dinner, beers, and attendants nearby waiting to help with anything you need. They helped up get around town (drove us themselves) and helped us with a couple extra tours we did.

The Kilimanjaro climb was incredible! Our group was only myself and my wife. For just the two of us we had 2 guides, 1 cook, 8 porters. We felt like part of a family with how welcoming all the porters and the group was. They were always encouraging and smiling and made the climb such a great experience. Our guides Siza and Vitalis were experts. They knew the perfect pace for us and were very attentive to our needs. On summit day they actually carried our packs and we all made it to the top! Such a personalized and custom experience.

There were other groups on the mountain with up to 20 climbers and a huge operation of guides, porters, etc... I was so glad I didn't sign up with one of those big groups - I cant imagine their climb was as special and as customized as ours.

After the climb we relaxed for a day then were off to safari. Our safari guide was so welcoming and funny too. It was again only myself and my wife on the tour which made it extra special. The accommodations at night were incredible. We stayed at such a nice place and wished we could have stayed more.

In all I am so glad we booked with Migration Venture Africa and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a reasonably priced, accommodating, and successful tour. We felt like family there and hope we can return some day!

5/5

The safari with this company was very nice. Our guide and driver tom is very professional and has a big knowledge about the topic. We would defenetly do the trip with him again.

We found the way starting with the quiet area lake natron and the hard climbing (more the way down, not the way up) afterwards to the smaller parks and up to the top parks of the world the crater and serengeti perfect.

The locations were nice and for us its very important to stay for 2 nights at the same place. With 1 night we would be in a hurry. Espacally because there are long distances which you couldnt know when its your first time around serengeti.

Thanks you for the organisation and head on like this!
