The review below is the personal opinion of Ken and not that of SafariBookings.
Great experience excluding tour guide, Mr.Noely
1/5

Yes, I and my wife could see a lot of animals including all Big5 in this tour, it was great for us.
We got satisfied with it.

But our tour guide, Mr.Noely, his attitude to us was terrible, he ruined our experience.
We're really regret choosing this tour ant giving Mr.Noely tips.

The biggest reason why we're thinking so, is that he denied our religion.
In a convesation, we taught him that many people in our country believe in Buddhism.
He said to us,

" I HATE BUDDHA."

.....What ?? Why can he deny the religion others believe in ??
If you dislike other religion, you must not tell others that.
(We didn't say anything about his comment because we already understood his terrible humanity at that time, and of course we were afraid that he could abandon his responsibility to let us see animals tomorrow.)

The second reason is, he perfectly blamed his traffic violation on us.
He committed a traffic violation because we didn't fasten seatbelt on back seat of a car, and he had to pay the fine of it.
Then his attitude to us got terrible, drove dangerously with many tsk, and told us anything in a car.
Yes, it's true that we didin't fasten seatbelt, but that was because it's NOT illegal in our country, besides he NEVER told us "fasten your seatbelt."
Finaly, we decided that we gave him money ..... to save our lives and the rest of our tour.

There're so many other reasons why Mr.Noely 's humanity was terrible, but the margin is too narrow to contain it.

According to him, Mr.Noely have a 3 years-old daughter.
You must be an adult, because your child always see how parents behave, listen to what parents say.

We climbed Kilimanjaro, Rongai route 6-days. We were very satisfied. Our guides were with us every step of the way. So we reached to the Top successful "pole pole"! The food was delicious, our tent was always ready.

Asante Síza a Sanga:-)

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!

Efficiency, knowledge and courtesy: Experience joy with Migration Kili Expeditions and Safaris
5/5

I was so impressed by the organisational capacity of the owner of Migration Kili Expeditions and Safaris on my expedition to Kilimanjaro , that I asked him to create another custom-made safari for me in which I not only visited Tarangere , Serengeti, Ngorongoro but saw the Olduvai gorge - the birthplace of humanity. The guides on both expeditions were exceptional : Rogath Ephren Mtuy- who not only holds the world record for ascent to the summit of Kilimanjaro and return to Marangu park in 14 hours and 50 min , but is an expert on the local plants and flowers and their healing properties or other uses. Cyprion , my guide on the safari , not only looked after me - erecting tents, managing a superb cook, manoeuvring his jeep according to my whims as a photographer , but had a depth of knowledge about, and respect for all the animals and their way of living and being . Both guides clearly loved their work and their courtesy and charm were outstanding.
As an older lone traveller , journalist and photographer, being explicitly catered to , this experience was way beyond expectations : not just what nature had to offer and my increased understanding and respect for other species, but in my trust of the organiser and guides who showed a responsiveness and intelligence, a depth of caring ,without patronisation , rarely met with in life.

I have written 2 articles for Projects Abroad and Ujumbe Magazine, Arusha - at present on

www.mytripblog.org/pg/bog/laolao

entitled ' TRUST ME TRUST ME : you can travel alone.'

and 'THE WILDERNESS IS THEIR HOME'

They include photographs . Perhaps you would like me to forward you the articles ? Let me know how .

Very polite, helpful, friendly, competent, intelligent, and has extensive knowledge about the animal
5/5

The very best safari guide I had the pleasure of experiencing was Deniz Mlay, also known as NJOFU. This man knows exactly what he's doing. Not only does he speak excellent English and have extensive knowledge of Tanzania, but he is also respectful and goes out of his way to satisfy his guests. Let me start from the beginning. He first gave us a brief overview to refresh our understanding of the upcoming safari.

Then we set off, and during the drive, there were always pleasant conversations, and we learned a lot about the country and the locals. Once on the safari, Deniz Mlay was right at home; he knew the area better than anyone else. He was not only a superb driver but also knew every shortcut and route. He was familiar with the staff at the park entrances, which allowed us more time to see animals in the national parks since he helped us get ahead of others.

Deniz Mlay also has an incredibly extensive knowledge of the animals and the nature there. He could answer every question. We saw almost all the animals you could hope to see—INCLUDING A RHINO!

Even after the safari, he remained helpful, doing everything to meet our needs. For instance, when we wanted to buy souvenirs, he took us to the local museum to ensure we didn't overpay.

I can only recommend this safari guide/ expert and would gladly go on another safari with Deniz Mlay NJOFU anytime!

5/5

The safari was our absolute highlight of the holiday. 4 days of safari and 3 days in the national parks was just great and we would do it again in a heartbeat with our safari guide and expert Denis mlay A.K.A NJOFU. Dennis always tried to show us the animals that we really wanted to see. He looked after us well, got us drinks, red bananas and organized a Masai tour. Thank you for everything! :)

Incredible wildlife experience with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide
5/5

We had the most amazing experience during our private safari with Migration Venture and our guide Bonny. He was a fantastic driver, and very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to his keen eye and expertise, we saw the big 5 and many other animals. The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to explore Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Mto wa Mbu over the course of 5 days. There was also enough flexibility for small additions or adjustments, making the experience even more personalised and enjoyable. The lodges were also of great quality and offered good food (also plenty of vegetarian options)! In short, I would highly recommend going on safari with Migration Venture Africa and Bonny!

5/5

Tanzania is always great and I was happy to reconnect with my old friend and host Amos this time going for the ultimate prize - Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route.
Amos and his team did not disappoint, he arranged for perfect guides: Epa and Joseph who took the best care of us.
Getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro was much harder than we expected and I believe the crew of guides and porters made all the difference between success and failure.
Nothing can replace the presence of an experienced guide at your side, whose duty is to keep you going, safe, nourished, healthy and also much more than just a friend.
I know that the level of involvement during the planning phase and actual is huge because nothing took us by chance.
Thank you Amos and the whole Migration Ventures team!
