Amazing Richard
Communication with the tour operator was excellent; they responded immediately to all our questions. Our guide, Richard, was fantastic, always willing to help, make stops for photos, and do anything we needed. He was also very funny. As for the accommodations, some were better than others, and regarding the food, except for the hotel in Nakuru, it was generally scarce and quite bad. We were hungry!

Very friendly and great communication
We booked a 6 day mid-range safari from Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was a great trip which was organised by Gasper. He was very responsive throughout the whole process and even during the safari whenever we had an issue, he was available to help sort it out. The accommodation he booked was excellent, way better than what we’d expected.
We saw all the animals we wanted to see. It would have been great if we could have spent more time looking for animals other than the Big 5 and have guides who provide better explanations of the animals and their behaviours but we had a guide book which helped. That is to be expected however on a shared safari. This is a common issue however and not something unique to Tanzania Pilgrimage. I would certainly recommend them! They even managed to arrange vegetarian meals throughout for my partner.

Great communication and well planned trip which allowed us to see everything on our ‘bucket list’.
Communication with Head Office in Arusha was excellent from initial inquiry to arrival in Arusha. Our guide and driver (Deo) was extremely polite and pleasant with a good knowledge of all the animals. He made every effort to allow us to obtain excellent views and photographs of the animals.
Possible lack of knowledge by Deo and unclear communication by the office of the accommodation used by the company in the northern Serengeti led to difficulties in finding one camp but all was resolved by Deo using his initiative and making enquiries.
All in all a great trip with the migration of the wildebeest being our highlight and one that we have raved about since returning home. Would recommend.

Reliable and Professional
Got the reference from the hotel lobby. The experience was good with timely pickup. They provided water and lunch as well. Overall safari experience was good with breaks in between. A must visit if you are not doing Kruger.

We had an unforgettable 5-day honeymoon safari in Tanzania with Edward!
We had an incredible 5-day safari in Tanzania with Edward as part of our honeymoon, and it was truly unforgettable. Edward knew all the best spots, had an amazing eye for wildlife, and made sure we saw the Big Five! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to educate us about each animal and the surrounding nature. Beyond that, he was so personable, kind, and genuinely made the experience feel special.
The lodges and restaurants along the way were also outstanding, comfortable, welcoming, and full of character. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. Highly recommend Edward for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari adventure in Tanzania!

Incredible Experience!
Having traveled all over the world, this trip ranks towards the top of our list for experiences. Booking was somewhat easy, although making payment(s) was a little tricky. Upon arrival, we were met at the airport exactly as planned, and rode for approximately 90 minutes to our hotel. The hotel itself was good, although it was not the usual 'premium' hotel that they normally use. In the morning, we met our guide (Gasper) who packed our bags into the safari vehicle, and then he offered to stop at a grocery store for snacks, since we would be on the road for several hours.
This safari package is different from the ones being offered in the South Africa region. We literally spent hours and hours in the vehicle, driving from one lodge to another, as we traversed the massive Serengetti region. Gasper was absolutely awesome! He afforded us SO many opportunities to see animals, everywhere we wen - and he went well above and beyond, every single day.
We were two couples in decent shape, yet we were always glad to be out of the vehicle at the end of each day. You will want to be prepared for long, dusty, and bumpy rides for the entire time. (We were there 7-8 days). You will have an opportunity to meet some very nice folks at each lodge - they are wonderful. Unfortunately, the busy itinerary does not allow enough time to really get to know them. However, the minimal amount of time spent with them (during meal time), is really enjoyable.
Pros:
* Abundant wildlife sightings
* Plenty of photo opportunities
* Great guide
Cons:
* Roads are super rough, and incredibly dusty (no fault of KASC)
* Safari vehicle is loud, rattles, no reclining seats (like others had) and windows did not fully open (Could use some maintenance)
*An error was made regarding an overnight lodge, so we were 'upgraded' to another lodge - which was substantially worse than the one that we had already booked. This was hard to understand, since we had our full itinerary months in advance.
Suggestions:
* Bring a buff/facemask to combat the dusty roads. This helps with the dust that seeps into the safari vehicle
* Quality binoculars are a must
* Consider bringing some school supplies to donate to a local school - such a rewarding experience!
* Add an additional night in Arusha upon arrival. It was nice to relax and catch up, after a very long flight.

The tour operator didn’t fulfill is promise but our guide was fantastic,fun full of knowledge safe.
We love our five days safaris . We manage with the our guide to see all animals possible and the best spot and places through our tours . Our guide Joseph was fantastic, kind , fun and a lot of knowledge through this adventure . But migration venture Africa didn’t fulfill the promise of secure 2 lodges or accommodations that they described in their offers which upset us because 5 days safaris cost a lot of money . People who chose this company need to make sure to have insurance that they will get the service paid.

Good safari Tours according the plan
We had wonderfull experience on our First safari tour.
We have seen a lot of different animals.
Our driver (Rodgers) did his best to show us good places with lot of animals.
We could see big five. Unfortunatelly we could not see cheetah.
We have booked budget tour.
Most of accomodations were ok, only some have been not so good.
In one accomodation in Masai Mara (Lenchada) my wife god issues with her stomach Most propobly due to the Food there.
If you book a tour in shared Jeep (7 places), you should know that if the Jeep is Full (most of the time in our case), it’s not so comfortable especial on Rest seats.
Because one member have booked non-budget tour, he/she had different accomodations.
That means sometimes we had to wait until that person is picked up First. That could mean that you start your Game Drive later and have less time.
When some of our members left, new passengers joined our group.
Because groups have been Mixed up, some have been not happy with this situation.
For us Everything was good because we stayed in one Jeep with one driver.
