5/5

Recommend to anyone thinking about going, no regrets at all. Especially with the help of Richard Shirin we were able to see things and places that would not have been possible without his expertise. Thank you again Richard!!

Good memories
5/5

Hi Richard,

hope you are well.
Following your nice pics on facebook and me and my whole family ist remembering 2015.
What a great adventure. You showed us a lot of magical places, and indeed, you are the real "lion man" referring my most beloved animals.
Ndutu was great, also our trip through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conversation area.
Remember the food-stealing-baboons at the gate ?
No matter, we'd like to do this again with you as the best guide in future along with the new company you are working.
You told us so much interesting.
See you hopefully soon again and best greetings and wishes from Andrea, Robin, Daniel and myself !
And still my heart lives in beautiful Tanzania.

Fantastic safari experience from start to end. Highly recommended.
5/5

I give my thanks specifically to the following people for my trip to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
- Amos (the boss and coordinator)
- Erasto (the guide cum driver)
- Rama (the cook)

Amos was sincere, responded promptly, and gave me much needed assurance though our online communication when I was learning about and comparing various safari operators and their packages. I was pleased to have made the right choice in going with Migration Venture Africa.

Erasto was a competent guide and driver, one whom I enjoyed spending 5 days with. He was knowledgeable about most species found in the Northern Circuit. Besides learning quite a bit about animal behaviour from him, I was impressed with how sharp he was, distinguishing animals from incredibly far distances. Outstanding guide with a friendly demeanour.

Rama wasn't fluent in English, but that did not stop him from teaching me Swahili. He was also a good cook and I was satisfied with the variety he managed to prepare for us throughout our safari trip. The quantity served for each meal is more than sufficient.

Overall, this is a great company and I hope that the quality of their trips and service will maintain or even improve as they continue to grow.

Feel free to contact me for more details.

Exceeded my expectations
5/5

Not only did Migration Ventures live up to my expectations, but they exceeded it by a large amount. The communication could not have been better. The abundance and quality of food was outstanding. We had full blown meals and snacks. The cook did an amazing job. The server was very friendly and polite. The guides could not have been better. And last but not least, we would not have made it up the mountain without the porters. Everyone in the team deserves equal credit. There wasn't a single minute, where I saw an unhappy face. Everyone was so happy, which made our days a lot better. I would have not summit Mt. Kilimanjaro if it was not for this team in Migration Ventures. I highly recommend this company for your next Mt. Kilimanjaro trek.

Great hiking experience!
4/5

Excellent 3-day hike at Kilimanjaro with Nicolas! Everything was extremely well-organized and set-up for me in advance of my visit. Food on the hike was fantastic. My guide Nicolas was very well informed and so nice to hike with.

Kilimanjaro Machame Route - Perfect!
5/5

As there are so many tour operators offering a kilimanjaro trek, only the people that organize and accompany your trip and the team that will lead you to uhuru peak make the difference. We had a totally stunning experience with Migration Expedition as we made it to the top via machame route. I had a really long e-mail-correpondence with amos to organize our whole trip to tanzania and he answered all my questions fast & comprehensive. Amos picked us up at the airport and we felt in really good hands from the first moment. He made us feel real welcome. In the evening we got to know our guide Nicholas. On the next day we started our trek with our guides Nicholas und Rasheed. They took so much care of us. Always in with some motivating stories, singing some tanzanian songs and playing the newest songs from tanzanian nightlife by phone. It was awesome. No question that these guys took is to uhuru peak! We can highly recommend the migration expedition team including Amos (CEO), Nicholas (Guide), Rasheed (Assistent Guide), Ramazan (Cook) and Armani (Waitor). After kilimanjaro we had a trip to a coffee plantation and a waterfall with Amos and Nicholas. That was also a real nice day. Talked a lot about the different tribes and cultures in Tanzania, thats a big plus of local tour operators, because they know so much about their country and they like to talk about it. And then we made a safari (4 days, 3 nights) with our guide Innocent and Ramazan (Cook). We had so much fun these 4 days and the guys were knowledgeable, experienced and tried everything to show us as many animals as possible. All in all, perfect trip that we will never forget!

Amos took complete care of us and guided us through our itinerary
5/5

While there were several tour companies to choose from we chose Migration and Kili Expedition tours because Amos ( I think he is the owner of the business) responded to us quickly and completely answered all our questions. While we were hesitant about arriving in a completely foreign country with just a name to rely on, all our doubts were washed away as soon as we met Amos. We were not sure if he would meet us or someone else but it was him. He made us feel comfortable right away. All our tours and travel arrangements were planned and executed properly. He offered us rides when he was around to the local areas and arranged for people to meet us wherever we were. He even got us masseuses to our hotel room after our climb on Kilimanjaro. His guides were professional and friendly. The kili guide, Roghert, was a speed record holder up the mountain six years ago. He was patient with us. The safari guide, (forgot his name ask Amos) tried his best to get us to see all the animals at ngorongoro crater (we even saw the illusive black rhino) and drove extra for us to see additional things and even shop. I would highly recommend Amos and his company for your tours. I do recommend however that you sort out tipping guidelines ahead so you know what is expected. I recommend this for all tours and other typically tipping scenarios while in a new country.
