The coffee tour and hike to the waterfall was a highlight of our family reunion.
There were 20 of us, ages 1-60. Our competent, safe driver picked us up in Moshi mid-morning. Our drive took us right up to the base of Kilimanjaro and to the village home of a family who grows coffee. We entered their tidy compound and were warmly greeted by our host and guide, Oscar. Oscar gave a good presentation on single source coffee. He demonstrated every step of the process of taking the bean from tree to cup. Everyone got a chance to try the husking machine (handmade by Oscars grandfather, I believe), to grind the beans by hand with a 'pilao', (huge mortar and pestle used for pounding grains into flour). Water boiled over the fire, the grounds were sprinkled liberally into the pot, and then the brew was poured through a strainer into our cups. A perfect cup! This was a most delightful event. Most of us ordered coffee which Oscar roasted and delivered to us the following day.
After our bag lunch, Oscar took us on the hike to the waterfall. Our path was well beaten, narrow and often had us teetering on the edge of the ridge. The views of the valley below, the village homes and the gardens took our breath away. Our guide peppered our walk with interesting facts about the culture and the flora and fauna around us. His love for his home sparked enthusiasm in all of us. We all made it to the waterfall after walking an easy 1+ hours (it took us longer than it might normally as we had small children making the trek). We spent some time playing in the water before it was time to hike back. This tour was so refreshing, fun for all ages. Our guide was excellent and communicated well in English. The logistics of this tour ran smoothly, thanks to Amos who accompanied us the whole day.

We had the best time on our safari, our guide josez was really friendly and we saw so many animals
We did the 6 day safari and saw so many animals, up close as well. Tour guide josez was really friendly and helped us spot lots of animals, especially the ones we particularly wanted to see. He was always punctual and accommodating. Food and lodges were really nice, Josez always provided water. Nice vehicle too. Our guide sorted out all our documents in between parks really quickly, so overall a really smooth and enjoyable safari

four day Masai Mara Safari
Our guide Erastus was able to get us in front of pretty all animals we wanted to see; lot’s of communication going on all the time on the radio between the guides.
The road trip (specifically Masai Mara to Nairobi is NOT recommendable - super lousy roads so it takes ages and has no value - take a plane)
Kili one day hike
Caesar our guide was on time and experienced at getting up the mountain for our day hike to the mandara huts. It is about 6 hours of hiking, and was pretty difficult for us (regular 10k runners). This is mostly because of the altitude, we live at sea level.

SAFARI? HABARI!
Just returned from an exciting private Safari with Migration Venture.
Denis is a dynamic young tour guide with an excellent sight able to spot animals from miles...4 on 5 of the bigs!!!
Also from Lake Natron to Olduvai Gorge we could rely on the support of other local guides very knowledgeable regarding flora and fauna copiously present all around us.
Tented accommodations are an absolute must if you truly want to experience the authentic safari, especially in the Serengeti, and game drives quite exciting!
Thank you Migration Venture, I had an incredible birthday celebration!

Good services
We choose Migration venture for a safari after a week of climbing Kilimandjaro with them. A friend of mine recommends this company at the beginning. It was cheaper with other tour and the service was good. They made a mistake with our departure date but everything was modified very quickly. Our guide Bonnie was really sociable, kind and always smiling. He paid attention at everything to make these days perfect and unforgettable for us. Thanks for everything! It was a pleasure to make this safari with you.
Thanks!

Wonderful safari with Noely
Very nice 5 day/4 night safari thanks to our guide Noely, who knows where to find the animals. The accommodations were very good. We were amazed in each of the 4 parks, especially at Gerenti. The only problem is the lack of a French-speaking guide, just a not very efficient guide/translator! But the main thing was to see all these felines (numerous lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes...) in very good conditions. Thanks again to Noely

Very nice operator I can recommend!
I can definitely recommend the safari tour! The landscape is amazing and you can see a lot of animals. We lost our baggage at flight and got it two days later. Migration Venture was very helpful in coordination to get it back at airport. Unfortunately because of the delay of the luggage we had to make a different route and had to pay 100 USD extra to Migration Venture which was okay for us. Our guide was very nice and as it was a fully private tour we were quite flexible.

Knowledgeable, communicative
Migration Venture Africa was very communicative, and they offered a good value for money in their offer. We initially compared a few and went for MVA as they had the number of days we wanted (5 days). The driver/guide picked us up in a clean car with water, we had a great introduction about the days ahead and we went off. The first two days were lovely, a lot of information was shared about the surroundings and habitat of animals, which I love because I'm a curious person. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti 2 days, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. The days are intense but well organized, there's always water and lunches are good. Noel is a great guy and very knowledgeable, just ask him whatever you want to know. We stayed in Octagon Lodge, which was OK and the staff is lovely (they have the best Swahili samosas). However, in Serengeti we stayed at Baobab and that exceeded our expectations - lodged camps were luxurious, the food was good, there was a campfire with an amazing view on Serengeti and the sunset, I wouldn't mind to come back to this one. We were lucky to see the big 5 quite soon which also of course sets the tone. And we did the hot air balloon, which is a unique experience, however in hindsight it's more interesting to do it when the big migration is happening. For me Ngorongoro made the biggest impression because it's the versatile nature (lake, mountains, clouds, lush trees here and there) combined with mixed wildlife living together (all except for giraffes, and rhinos if you're lucky to see them). Lake Manyara was OK but I wouldn't go back, we saw there elephants and lions but as it's the nature you have to be lucky (which we were!). For all others - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoror - amazing destinations! On the way from Ngorongoro to Serengeti you'll be passing by an archeological site (Laetoli footprints) which is worth a check. I'm blessed by this safari experience and we ended our holidays on the beach in Zanzibar.

Reliable and friendly guide (hakunamatata)
We were 2 friends travelling (females) and here for our 1st time. Some worries we initially had but hakunamatata after a few hours with Noel.
5 days of total relaxation and African massage when “eyes-hunting”. We were blessed to see so many animals: the big 5/the “ugly” 5. We had good laughs and very good night playing game or else. The Baobab tents were amazing, thanks again to Erik. Octagon has an amazing Chef (thanks the lunch box were great) and ask for room 1… very good to chill!
Thanks again migration venture Africa! Noel made our trip a success, no matter how many bumps on the road we had to go through! ;)
