Communication needs A LOT of improvements but tour guides are top notch!
We had an amazing safari with Migration Venture Africa. Our trip included visits to Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater in that order. It was an experience of a lifetime, our best trip to date.
Shout out to the best guide Karim, he was a very calm, kind, and friendly person with an incredible knowledge about the parks and the animals. He shared a wealth of knowledge about nature, wildlife, and life in Tanzania, making every game drive both interesting and enjoyable. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease with him.
Karim respected the animals, and was able to position the vehicle in a way that allowed us to get great pictures and see the animals without disrupting them. We had an incredible experience and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I am not sure if it was Karim’s great intel or pure luck that we got to see so many amazing things like a cheetah hunting, lions eating, and a leopard with food on top of a tree.
Now for the part where we believe Migration Venture can improve:
Communication was spotty at times. We would have appreciated it if they reached out to us 1 or 2 weeks before our safari to confirm everything (dates, camps, pick up info, guide name, etc) given that some camps fill up early and alternate bookings are made. Some people like to triple check everything, especially when they invest thousands.
We had an issue with our jeep during one of the transit days, which is understandable, we weren't upset or demanding anything at that point but received no communication from the front office regarding possible alternatives in case the jeep couldn't be fixed in time. Our guide assured us he would see us the next day and the trip would continue as planned. We saw him the next morning at the usual time.
On our last day, the jeep still had an issue and we were only able to complete the Ngorongoro visit because we went with another couple in their jeep. I appreciate Karim for making that happen and communicating with the other guide to take us, meant a lot to us. We were a bit worried because it was our last day, and we had to go straight to the airport but weren't sure if the jeep was going to be ready in time but never heard from the front office and had to ask our guide to communicate with Karim who assured us the card would be ready.
Overall, Migration Venture Africa planned the trip of a lifetime for us and we appreciate everything that was done. I feel like the only aspect they have to improve as a company is the communication with customers.
Thank you again, Karim, and the entire Migration Venture Africa team for an incredible adventure. We hope to come back again one day! We highly recommend Migration Venture Africa to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and unforgettable safari.

An amazing and unforgettable safari!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our three-week safari through Kenya and Tanzania, which was organized by Happiness. From the very beginning, we felt that we were in the best possible hands.
Happiness did an incredible job of listening to all of our wishes and needs and putting together an itinerary that was perfectly suited to us. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and always answered our questions very quickly, which we really appreciated. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well organized and we always had the feeling that someone was there for us whenever we needed anything.
Our three-week journey through Kenya and Tanzania was truly unforgettable. We were incredibly lucky with our animal sightings and had so many amazing experiences that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Everything worked exactly as Happiness had planned and throughout the entire trip we never experienced any issues or problems. The organization, accommodations, transfers and overall coordination were excellent.
A special mention also goes to our amazing drivers, Stefano and George. Both were fantastic and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire safari. They were not only great drivers but also incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the countries and the wildlife.
We would absolutely choose Yield Safaris again and can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a safari!

Professional, generous, and unforgettable — they made our trip a dream
A special thank you to Juddy, who personally took care of all these arrangements with remarkable professionalism and made everything seamless. Thank you to Maria, who designed our itinerary so thoughtfully. And I will never forget James, our guide for 9 days, who supported us with everything we needed throughout the journey. One of the most unforgettable things about James was how he took routes that only someone with deep experience would know — we barely saw another safari vehicle the entire time, which made us feel as though we had the wild heart of the Serengeti entirely to ourselves.
Thank you all for your professionalism and for making my trip absolutely magical. Every friend who has seen my photos and the lodges we stayed in has immediately asked me for the name of the agency! 😅
Thank you once again, Kujuu, for making my trip a dream come true. I wholeheartedly recommend Kujuu Safaris to anyone looking for an unforgettable African adventure.

This trip completely exceeded my expectations
Everything was so well organized, and our guide was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and somehow always managed to spot animals before anyone else. Thanks to him, we saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and so much more. Every drive felt different, and there was always something exciting to see.
I also loved how patient everyone was and how passionate they were about wildlife. You could ask as many questions as you wanted, and they were always happy to explain things.
A huge thank you to the entire Bold Wildness team for making this trip so special. I would definitely choose them again and recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!
Mount Kenya Trek
We had the most amazing trip up mount Kenya. Our guide John was really kind, knowledgeable and fun to be with for the trip. The food was some of the best food we have had throughout our whole time in Kenya. The rest of the crew were so kind and helpful as well and really made the 4 day trek a very special few days. Want to say a massive thanks to John and everyone else who helped organise the trip.
A Dream Safari Made Even More Special
My husband and I recently traveled to Tanzania to celebrate my birthday, and choosing Zohar African Safari was one of the best decisions we made.
From the moment I reached out for a proposal, the team at Zohar African Safari was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating.
They patiently answered all of our questions and happily made several changes to our hotel selections to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free.
One thing that really stood out was how well they accommodated our vegan diet. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, with delicious options that exceeded our expectations. They also made my birthday feel extra special, adding thoughtful touches that made the celebration unforgettable.
Our safari guide, Daniel, was absolutely outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Tanzania's wildlife. His expertise and experience in the Serengeti made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to ser the Big Five and witness the breathtaking Great Migration. He always seemed to know exactly where to go, making sure we were in the right place at the right time for incredible wildlife sightings.
One of the best examples of Daniel's dedication was when he suggested moving our hot air balloon ride to a different day to improve our chances of seeing the Great Migration. We trusted his recommendation, and it worked out perfectly. It ended up being one of the most unforgettable experiences of our entire trip.
Thank you to everyone at Zohar African Safari, and especially to Daniel, for making our birthday trip so memorable. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, I can't recommend Zohar African Safari enough. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and genuine care for their guests made this the trip of a lifetime.

Fantastic !
We had an absolutely wonderful trip! Everything was perfect: the choice of accommodations, the tours, etc. … Our driver-guide, Patrick, was very friendly, but also very professional and fascinating. The highlight was, of course, meeting the gorillas—what an emotional experience! The organization was flawless, and being in a group of nine made the experience even more intense.
Thank you to Golden Safaris and Franck for making this experience possible for us.
