Excellent and knowledgeable
The tour was excellent from start to finish. Amshar organized it very well. Special mention to our guide Alloysi. He made sure we got to see all the big 5. He was very knowledgeable about the park and wildlife. Made our trip even more unforgettable.

Superb Safari with the best Guide
Our safari in Nyerere national park was amazing, very different and most of the time more beautiful than Serengeti. Our guide William was very passionate about animal and nature and had a lot of knowledge which make our safari very enjoyable and worth our money. The lodge was very nice although the food could be better.
We also did a boat safari which was really nice at the sunset.
Thank you for this amazing experience and thank William to have shared you passion with us
Amazing tour guide, amazing animals, scenery, and accommodation
Peter was our tour guide/ driver for migration venture safari. He was amazing, kind and a very experienced driver. He ensured we were picked up on time from our accommodation, and was reliable throughout, he was always ready early to load our luggage into the car so we could set off on time. Throughout the safari Peter asked us what we were interested in seeing, he ensured we saw so much wildlife, and would share details about each animal, trees, environment etc, he was very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 along with so many other incredible animal's. Each day Peter would ensure lunch had been prepared for us, along with refrigerated water for the journey. Would definitely go again with Peter for a safari! The accommodation was all really nice, all the staff cater to our needs, and everywhere had really nice facilities. My favourite was the Serengeti accommodation, it had stunning sunset and sunrise views.

Iconic Honeymoon Safari!
My husband and I had the most amazing honeymoon safari with I Artist Adventures! From the very beginning, Maria was amazing at communication and planning. She ensured we stayed at higher end lodges during our safari for a great price, booked our flights to and from Zanzibar (where we were coming from our wedding), and made sure our safari jeep was comfortable and stocked with beer and wine. To top it all off, at the end of our safari, she gifted us with a printed photo of us from the safari which was so sweet and special. Jimmy was our guide and was great as well. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and landscape and was able to spot animals from so far away that our eyes would've never even registered. We told him at the start what we were hoping to see and we know encounters aren't always guaranteed but he did his best to make sure we saw every animal and event that we wanted. We wanted to see the Great Migration, the Big Five, and cheetahs. We saw all of that and more!! It truly felt like a surreal and magical experience to actually be able to witness these beautiful creatures that we only get to see on TV. The team at I Artist went above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon safari was a once in a lifetime experience and for that, I'm forever grateful. If you're looking for an iconic experience, I Artist is the safari team for you!

SO, YOU HAVE A DREAM TO EXPERIENCE AN AFRICAN SAFARI?
An African Safari is typically on everyone’s bucket list of travel adventures. It usually involves long flights to a country you have never been to where you are not certain of what you will find when you get there, and it is going to be costly to do it. What if you get it wrong?
So, choosing a travel partner when there are so many to pick from can be a real challenge. Who can you trust to deliver the experience you want at a price you can afford so you go home with magical memories and the pictures or video footage to prove it?
A bit of personal background - I am a 63-year-old well-educated and well-travelled gay man who has stage 4 metastatic terminal prostate cancer. On top of that, I have a degenerative problem with my left knee. I am a solo traveller determined to experience an African adventure before I die.
With the help of Google, I selected 3 African adventure tour operators for a quote and first to respond was ‘Go Touch Down Travel & Tours’. The others responded soon after.
Despite the quirky name, what stood out for me was their willingness to tailor an adventure to suit me and at a price I could afford. In addition, it was the immediate response I received to questions and follow up phone calls at times that best suited me regardless of the time in Africa.
I received one-on-one attention by a person with genuine passion to deliver my dream adventure. From the moment I booked my trip to the day I arrived through to the day I left; I was in very capable hands.
The accommodation was great, the food exceptional and the expert knowledge of the rangers was incredible.
To my surprise I met the actual owners of the Company, even more surprising is the fact they knew me by name. They because they are hands-on so do not be surprised to find them at the lodge where you are staying.
Best of all, you will share your adventure with amazing people from all over the world.
Finally – a big shout out to Angie Main from Go Touch Down who made it all happen and brought my dream to life.

Personally service
After filling request on Safaribooking site, we have got a message from Viatu about contact to talk about our expectations and budgets. I’ve got phone call from Viatu and I was pleased about their interest of ours expectations, our interests with this trip, and most important our budget. They asked about our preferences and promised to find the best option for our budget.
We have got a suggestion and overview of journey. It took some time for us to check out and decide, and Viatu was patient and explained things if we asked. They changed trip and accommodation as we wished. After paying, we’ve got a lot of information and advice from Viatu about car rent and insurance and other practical things.
Almost all accommodations were wonderful, as described in itinerary, except one in Swakopmund, that was nice, but cold, without heating. Itinerary was good adjusted for our preference to stay at places for two-three nights. Accommodations were a little bit remote, but quite short distance from destinations. So it was just fine.
We have visited the best highlights in Namibia and we love this country! It was fantastic journey, so we are already planning to come back to Namibia 🤩 .
As we got this trip within our budget, we got great value for money in this nice luxury accommodations and all the destinations. We didn’t get the best car, Suzuki was may be cheaper than other cars, but was okay. Next time we will choose better car. 😉

The safari was absolutely amazing, very well organised and our tour guide Peter was the best.
We did a five day safari, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The trip was absolutely worth the money. Our tour guide, Peter, was lovely! He was amazing at spotting different animals and was able to answer any questions we had about them. All of the hotels we stayed at were really nice and the food was very good. We made the most of each day, being out early in the morning and we were able to see lots of different wildlife. I would definitely recommend a safari with Migration Venture.
Very knowledgeable, respectful, and entertaining guides
Start to finish the tour was amazing. The guides were fun, knowledgeable, and had great eyes for spotting wildlife. They were able to get us the best possible views and were very personable and accommodating the entire trip. Because of them, I want to do another safari in the future and will absolutely book with Benson again.
