One of my lifes best experiences
5/5

Tom was more than a guide for us.
He became a part of our little group of four and he was very good at what he does. In the beginning of our five day safari he asked us about wich animals that we had on our wish list so that he could make a plan and a good rout for each and every day so that we didnt miss anything.
And we did actully get to see each and every one of the animals on our wish list throu out the safari. In the beginning of every day before take off he explained what we would do that day and if anyone of us had a question tom always had the answer and that gave us a fealing of securety.
Tom always was aware of our soroundings and of our safety. He gave us a feeling that he always had everything under controll and that is very important quality in a safary guide i think because if the tourguide is not so sure about things that makes you as a passanger very unsecure and that takes away alot of the experience. Tom got us to encounter the animals from very close distance like 2 meters from a cheetah.
I souldrottningen say that tom gets 11/10 points for his knowledge and experience.

Best safari you could imagine!
5/5

We had an amazing trip with Migration into Tarangire park, N’goro n’goro crater, we stayed in the Serengeti national park living in tents for two nights among lions, hyenas and elephants, the experience was simply amazing - much thanks to our guide, Tom. He showed us all the best corners of the parks and managed to show us every animal on our checklist, we literally were bombing him with questions and there was nothing he didn’t know, super knowledgeble and humble guy. We simply were above and beyond. 11 out of 10 points to Migration v. and Tom.

Better than we could have imagined
5/5

Everything has been excellent from the first communication until we were dropped of at the airport by our tour guide. The safari was even bettet than we expected and everything went smoothly without any issues. Our guide Tom was absoutely excellent and did everything to make sure that we were happy and got to experience everything that we wanted. He is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge and we were lucky to get him as a guide. We had a lot of fun with him and i really cant recommend him enough, you wont find a better safari guide. We miss him already!

Good experience
5/5

Kilimanjaro, Marangu route:

Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was assigned with 6 porters (solo trip), which I believe is too much (there were 5 porters for a group of 2)
- Food is okay, but almost the same every day + they have not asked me about allergies and my preferences before the trip, thus I was not eating half of what they gave to me, but still, it was enough to be full
- Stuff was friendly
- They assigned additional porter for me during summit night (last minute call) and expected additional tips for that
Everything met my expectations

Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture Africa for summiting Kilimanjaro

Excellent Safari experience
5/5

I started communicating with Amos when I was not certain about the trip. Once we made a final decision, it took one day to make a deposit and final arrangements. Our guide Thomas was excellent in spotting animals. Only thanks to him we saw the Big Five! He also knows a lot about animals. Thomas also took into account all our needs and made minor but very important changes in the schedule. Perfectly customer-oriented guide and cautious and experienced driver. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot!

Very good overall experience!
5/5

We went on a 5-day tour and were totally satisfied. The details go below.

=== Strongside ===

Communication, driver, service, lodges, and camps were just awesome. We liked the attention a lot. The guys were in touch and were ready to answer any upcoming questions. The driver was very polite and intelligent, told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and their behavior.

Also, our driver changed the way how we eat during a safari game drive. All other groups were eating from cardboard boxes (I would say 1-star food), but we had good food from hotels we are staying in (4-star food). That changed our experience a lot! Thank you Anderson!

=== Pitfalls ===

On our first day, the car was broken. That issue was resolved pretty fast and we were sent to a hotel in another car. Also, the company bought us a bottle of wine as an apology. Everything might happen on the road, thus I do not think that is the company's fault and I am happy that the issue was resolved fast.

On our last day, we told "goodbye" to our driver and gave a tip of $25. We thought that should be a decent tip since he did a good job, but by our driver's reaction, we understood that there is something wrong. Later we found out that the recommended tip amount is $15 per day per person which equals to $150 for our 5-day tour! That should be a tip, not a salary, right? In my opinion, the recommended amount is way too high. We are not a very rich family and can not afford $150 tips. But on the other hand, we did not want to offend our driver (he did a really great job). That is a dilemma that we were not able to solve and thus lost some part of the "our trip is excellent" mood.

Super tour
5/5

Went with Migration Venture Africa for 6-days safari tour to 4 main national parks. To say that we had an amazing and I should say an emotional experience is to say nothing. Our guide Thomas had an incredible eye for spotting even little “invisible” creatures in the grass, on the trees, under the stone etc. With his help we’ve managed to see all big five and many many other animals. Also, we’ve learned so much from him about animals’ habitat, habits and instincts. Besides that, Thomas really made us feel at home and was ready to help with any sort of a problem or a question.
I’d like to thank again the agency and Thomas personally for an unforgettable and once in a life time experience!!
P.S. Hope Thomas reads this - I promise to learn Jumbo song in Swahili))

Another Great Vacation
5/5

When we arrived in Tanzania we found Thomas our guide eagerly waiting for us and it was a happy re-union after 2 years. This time we were doing the 7 days tour through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to North Serengeti where the great the migration was taking place. We had the most beautiful trip in the safari capital of the world with Thomas giving us a record 4 crossings in addition to the numerous views of other animals, landscapes and great company.
Thank you guys for another great vacation.

Better than we expected
5/5

Migration Venture Africa was over the top from start to finish. Amos did amazingly well in talking to us to understand what we wanted and then designed us a wonderful schedule.
When we arrived in Tanzania we found Thomas our guide waiting for us at KIA. He proved to be a worthy safari guide always anticipating our wishes before we could spell them out. We wanted to have a close-up encounter with a lion and on the first day of safari in lake Manyara he takes us to an area where a pride of more than 10 lions were resting in trees, we got to see many more lions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in adition to the other wild animals that I cannot possibly name.
We really loved the accommodations selected for us, they were all excellent!
Thank you again Amos & Thomas for a wonderful trip.

Reliable and serious agency to organise your safari.
5/5

- Very good communication with the agency to organize our safari, we were able to choose the hotels/lodges, the airport of arrival, as well as the parc we visited (we added a day to a 4 day trip proposed, and the agency totaly adapted the program)
- Very good communication even during the covid crisis, you have an answer in a maximum 24 hour delay.
- The hotels during our safari were of very good standard, the food excellent (you have more than needed) and well located (quiet).
- Our guide Ninah was experienced, he managed to find all the animals we wanted to see, he takes time for you to watch the animals you want, he explained to us a lot about wildlif. Thank you so much for these incredible days with you!
