Excellent all around service!!!
5/5

Our safari was amazing from start to finish. From start I mean my very first message to Migration I got Amos and he was more than helpful. I am a big planner when I do trips so I had A LOT of questions. Communication was fast simple and easy!! Amos was very patient with me and went above in beyond in answering every question I had. My husband and I were staying in Dar es Salaam so we had to catch a flight to get to our safari. Amos gave me option of taking us via bus or flight to Arusha/Kilimanjaro. He recommended airlines to book for the flight as well as hotels to stay at if we could not get a flight to coordinate with our safari times. Deposit and final payments were all very easy and the price was what was listed no hidden fees. Pick up from the airport was very smooth. Our flight arrived early so I was nervous but our ride was early as well. There was someone waiting outside the airport with a sign with my name on it and the number of people in my party, so we knew exactly who to go with. Our driver GodLove was excellent. The drive to the first park took a few hours but we felt comfortable the whole ride. On the way to the park he gave us some info about the towns and different passing landmarks. He asked what we wanted to see/experience while in the parks and then told us to keep low expectation. This was the best advice ever and changed the whole out look of the experience!!!! While inside the park he let us use his binoculars and took pictures for us through his binoculars so we could get better pictures on our phone. He also did a good job of maneuvering the truck so we could get good angles and views of different animals. He had a great eye for spotting things that we couldn’t see!!!! The accommodations at Octagon Lodge were great. Everyone there was very friendly and the food was amazing!!! THIS TOUR WAS WORTH THE MONEY AND THEN SOME!!!!!!

A few suggestions I have to someone looking to book is be patient. I understand you may have certain animals you want to see but you have to realize that these are wild animals in a huge park. Your tour guide cannot control where the animals are and they cannot make them appear. Express what you want to see and I am sure if the opportunity is available your tour guide will do their best to try to help you experience it. TAKE A SNACK WITH YOU!!! You don’t want to be in the middle of the action or on a hunt for an animal and then have to leave because you are hungry. There was a time when I wanted to ask when was lunch during our game and I am glad I didn’t because right at that moment we found a lion and right after that a cheetah but had I asked for us to go to lunch we would have missed all of that. Bring a professional camera and good binoculars if you have some. Be respectful of the animals. You are entering their homes so don’t bother them. Just be respectful and watch and observe you don’t have to yell at them and bother them to try to get their attention. You wouldn’t want someone coming to your home and doing that to you so give them the same respect.

All and all this was a great experience and I cannot wait to come back with the rest of our family

5/5

I am always into adventures and have been looking forward for an adventure trip since a while. But, thanks to Migration Adventure Africa who made my dream come true. I got to experience the best trip of my life with their tour guide, Siza Mrema. He was great at mountaineering and showed me the top scenic beauties of nature that was mesmerizing. Climbing is always a challenge but he made it so simple that I felt I am a mountaineer exploring the nature.

5/5

It was great Chasaka! I would highly recommend Migration Adventure Africa to all my peers. The personal encounters with the wildlife and the wonders of the untouched wilderness on our Kilimanjaro Trekking, Lemosho Route. While the climb was a challenge I enjoyed the spectacular scenery to my full. Chasaka's guidance and insight helped a lot in making the journey easier and lively. All and all the trip was an amazing trip to East Africa. Will miss you guys!

5/5

It was an amazing experience with Godlove to guide us through the scenic wilderness. The big-five game was thrilling, we could almost reach them if we stretched our arms. Unforgettable 5 days & 4 Nights stay in Tanzania. Hats off to Migration Venture Africa for planning such an impeccable itinerary to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & Manyara. I highly recommend them.

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.

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.
