Migada are knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and are expert tour operators
I visited Arusha in May 2015, and I was amazed by Migada Adventures. Mike Ngoty and his team displayed proffesionalism, and were punctual for every event on our itinerary. they were also very warm and welcoming, and we felt as if we werehome.
The trip to Ngorongoro Crater was lovely, our driver, Mr. Ikamba, was very patient with us, he took pictures of us and with us, and he made sure that we spotted all the big 5 animals, as well as so many animals in the crater. The Landcruiser was clean, neat, very comfortable, and even had charging ports for our phones. Mr. Ikamba demonstrated that he is a seasoned tour guide, by taking us through breath taking views of the crater, as well as ensuring that we were able to see all the animals that he spotted.
To-date, this has been the most memorable safari i have ever undertaken, and if you havent used Migada Adventures, then you havent been on a safari.
I would highly recommend Migada, - they are awesome

Just Awful
We booked a 7-day Kenya+Tanzania safari with a Kenyan operator and the 3-day Serengeti-Ngorongro portion was subcontracted to Migada. Unlike the Kenya portion, Tanzania was terrible in every way and our vacation was half-ruined.
The car had multiple problems and was absolutely unsafe. Breaks were bad and locked the tires on gravel roads so downshifting was the way to slow down. Parking break didn't work so it was always exciting to see the car run away until driver used rocks to stop it. Engine didn't start if turned off when it's warm, so engine ran the whole day even when parked next to the animals. We had to ask other drivers for a bump when driver stalled the engine. The car didn't have radio so game viewing was random. A policeman warned us about the wheels being not fit to drive. But more on the car later.
The driver got lost multiple times, starting day 1 from Isebania to the lodge in Serengeti. When it was getting dark he panicked and started driving movie stunt style on horrible roads, doing a pretty high jump where tires detached from the ground for about 4 seconds that felt like hours. No empathy with passengers' comfort for restroom or lunch breaks, we had lunch inside the car in dust while driving. The company's card was out of money while exiting Serengeti so we had to wait about an hr just to exit a park. Nothing happened smoothly..
The car broke down a few minutes after our descent into Ngorongro, and we found out the radiator had a leak that the driver knew about. His calls to the office were unanswered but another safari driver was kind enough to stop and take us into his car, and tow the broken car until the nearest water hole. We helped fill the radiator with muddy water and plugged the hole with elephant dung and the car surprisingly made it to Arusha the next morning on mud, dung and prayers. They gave us a new car from Arusha to Kenya border and then came our best moment in Tanzania: getting exit stamps and seeing our Kenyan driver on the other side.
Thinking back about the whole thing, we should've rejected getting into that car after the first day.
