Mind-blowing safari - it was life time adventure :)
Me and my wife decided to choose Hekima as our tour operator for safari we had May this year. It was our first trip to Africa so we searched info from a lot of internet tips, blogs and forums to get our idea of what safari should be. Since January when I contacted Hekima I was asking a lot of questions and modifying plan at least couple of times.
I must say they were super patient with everything, professional and fast in providing answers but what is more they were simply friendly.
I never felt ignored and since moment we started to communicate by social media they have for me as much time as I needed.
After arriving Arusha, since day one, we felt extra cared. We choose option of 6 days safari with extra activity around Moshi and extended it with two days in Arusha.
The only thing I can say about sleeping at luxury camping is that... They are truly LUXURY and we have never expected it in such a way.
Our guide (Juma it was) was a blast. He is said to be experienced guide and I truly had this impression that he was faster that other drivers to spot animals and he presented this kind of intuition to spot animals before other jeeps arrived which felt quite cool.
Our cookers did great job, especially that my wife is vegan and in not so many countries it is easy for her to find food satisfactory. Marcus - the main chief - went beyond our expectations.
I can say a good word as well about Team in Hekima House - it was more local experience, after safari, gave us some taste of what 'real Tanzania is' as we were happy to join with other hostel guests for local party.
I m still highly impressed of all the work put in order to creat this all for us. For sure, I wish we can be back one day to Tanzania (thinking about mountain now) and with full responsibility I can recommend Hekima as company to organize such holiday for anybody - it is totally worthy to experience!

5 star experience
Highly recommended safari tour operator
We booked a four day safari tour, including Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti plains.
Absolutely everything was as described in the safari program we have received.
The accommodations in the different lodges and in the tented camp, were very good .
Many thanks to bryson, who designed the entire tour and of course special thanks to our wonderful guide izack, as he will make sure that you see closely all the fantastic wildlife

Nothing was as expected - everything - EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations.
There was only a single item we wanted changed - to be picked up at 10 rather than 9 a.m. We got in touch with Anya at the agency (quite easily and quickly) and she fixed it. As I indicated, nothing was as we expected - everything exceeded out expectations. The rooms were unbelievably luxurious, the food was top quality, and the people who served us, guided us, and drove us were professional and very nice at the same time. It was a once in a lifetime experience for my son and I. The only thing I regret was not making it twice as long.

7 days Kilimanjaro Machame Climb
We are group of 4 friends from Brisbane and we just returned from Tanzania where we did the 7 days Kilimanjaro Machame route. Amos and his team from Migration Ventures Africa have proved to be great friends and partners in our quest to conquer the tallest free standing mountain in the world. They ensured that we prepared well for our climb and supported our journey with one of the best crews I have worked with. Vitalis the chief guide was phenomenal all through. our safety was never in doubt, he put up measures to ensure our comfort and safety. Daily oxygen level checks, the cook prepared great meals for us and crew.
Getting to the summit required a lot of physical and mental strength and I am happy that all members of my party made it to the summit.
This company has invested a lot in terms of equipment (waterproof tents, comfortable mattresses, snow-hooks and warm clothing/shoes for the guides, porters and cook)
I am sincere when I say that all my friends were are very happy with Migration Venture Africa! We are considering returning back to Tanzania for a safari excursion. Amos- I will be contacting you soon so that we can begin with the preparation!

Seamless , fun and thrilling
I have to admit, Kaylan made my travel easy and smooth. I did not have to worry about logistics. They had everything well planned. The staff are polite and very helpful. I haven't experienced this kind of service before. The safari was amazing i got to satisfy my curiosity. I definitely enjoyed and would do this all over again with Kaylan.

Great Safari. Excellent customer service from the beginning to the end of the trip.
We recently had our first Kenya adventure, which comprised of a five day safari and time in Elphant Orphan also Giraffe Orphan.We traveled with extended family and my 4 best friend. We were equally excited and apprehensive about our trip to Kenya, we had no experience of Kenya previously and weren’t sure what to expect.
African Paradise delivered an experience that far surpassed our expectations! John Peter attention to detail before we got there and during our stay meant we didn’t have to think about anything. he requested things for us that we hadn’t even thought we needed, he checked and double checked things were in place. The accommodation/transfers/safari intenery were all tailored made to meet our interests and wishes.
While on safari John and Jose were the most fantastic guides. They amazed us with there ability to spot things that seemed invisible to us. They picked up quickly what animals we loved and made sure to point them out. They also suggested a great variety of game drives which took us to a real selection of sights. We kind of followed their lead in terms of ideas of places to visit and I’m so glad we did.
The overriding thing that stuck us about both African Paradise and Kenya agenerall was how welcoming everyone was to us. He was like a superstar for the duration of the holiday, nothing was too much trouble and people were so welcoming and kind to him (and all of us). He, like us, had a holiday of a lifetime thanks to the efforts of African Paradise Safaris.

Great expirance with fantastic sleep locations and friendly people with expiriance to find big five!
Great time as we had super nice and experienced guide named Jackson. He showed us the big five in 4 days with lions passing right in front of us!
I recommend taking 4x4 it wasn't the newest but reliable and when I would go again I would ask for Jackson for sure! he is nice and take care of you with safety first in mind. Sleep locations in the parks where fantastic. The one in Nairobi could be better.
I strongly recommend the trip safari is amazing.
