Great and Affordable Safari Tour Operator!
What a great company! I walked into the office to see what they had on offer - the next morning I was on my way joining a 5-day budget Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate led by our amazing guide Dan Castro. His talent and experience really showed as he made sure the whole trip went smoothly - and more importantly that we spotted a wide-range of different animals (incl. The Big Five and the wildebeest migration). Dan really went out of his way to make sure we had a front-row seat to the spectacle of Kenyan safari. To give an example: we had a rare sighting of a leopard, saw two lions successfully hunt a zebra and spotted a lion high up in a tree. I feel very lucky and privileged to have seen such sights.
Dan's ability to drive in difficult circumstance also really stood out during the trip as the park provide some challenging terrain. I personally also very much appreciated the music he would play (Dan has excellent taste) during long hauls between different national parks.
Karibu safaris was also really flexible when I wanted to make a change to my booking. I initially booked a 6-day safari, but asked to switch to 5-days during the safari in order to stay with the group (as the others were staying for only 5-days). Dan contacted the office in Nairobi and ensured this was no problem.
Do make sure to bring enough extra cash during the safari, because there are some hidden costs, such as bike rentals, Masai village entry and of course lots and lots of tipping.

Excellent service and support for our spectacular Africa vacation
Talking with Amos was a great experience. He listened to us and helped us build a vacation that exceeded all of our expectations. We went for a 4 days 3 nights safari in Northern Circuit. We really appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail.
We highly recommending this tour agency in Tanzania Safaris

Migration and Staff Are the Best!
We had a magical experience with Migration Venture Africa Ltd on a 9 days trip (8 nights, with 3 lodge and 5 camping) in Tanzania in February, 2022. The wildlife, the camping, the food, the guide with the two other couples on our trip…I can’t speak highly enough of our experience. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.
Migration is the real deal. You’ll get good communication and photos on WhatsApp, but no slick marketing material or fancy itineraries. Don’t worry, though, he’s a pro where it counts—with the wildlife. We saw amazing animals, birds, crocs...more than we could have hoped for. We were very well cared for. The whole experience was terrific.
We are used to tent camping, and to us, this felt like a luxury experience. Canvas tents with cots and a private latrine. We even had warm showers a couple of times. The friendly camp staff, Ben and Jackie, did all the setup, teardown, and cooking. Campfires awaited us every morning and evening. It felt like heaven. However, if you’re not a camper, know what you’re getting into. This isn’t “glamping,” so it might feel a bit rough to you. We loved it. Tony supplies the camping equipment, sleeping bag and pillow. Be sure you bring your own towel, soap, shampoo, and toiletries.
Their guide is knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to share his wealth of information. We saw so many animals from the perspective of the water. It was mesmerizing. Lameck was our guide and driver, he always found the animals, and had a passion for getting us up close with good camera angles and lighting. Each experience, each day, brought something new and different. Absolutely amazing, it was the experience of a lifetime.

Trip of a lifetime! Kilimanjaro challenge for 7 days via Lemosho
Traveling to Africa had always been on my mind since I was a child. Now being retired, I figured it was out of my reach. After talking with Amos the Migration Venture owner, I realized this was a trip I was willing to take a chance on as a single traveler. I only have positive things to say about my trip to Kilimanjaro. From the time I was met at the airport, to the time I was dropped off at the airport, I was treated with the utmost respect.
The staff (Mountain crew) from the porters, waiters, cooks and guides are very professional while having a casual sense of humor to keep things moving in a positive direction. My experience in Mount Kilimanjaro surpassed anything I could have ever dreamed up in my mind. I would highly recommend traveling with Migration Venture Africa and hope to travel with them to Serengeti and Zanzibar again in the future. I am forever grateful that I ended up traveling with a team that focused on making sure I was happy while I was traveling on this big adventure. I loved every minute of it!

6days best of safari kenya
The Safari was excellent and I loved getting close-up views of the animals. It was great that they could work together to find all kinds of hidden animals to go see. The other parts were just ok (the food, other services, etc) and the village visit was interesting Our driver Anthony was great, professional, helpful, and fun to talk to. thank you, Edward and Dennssland trekk tours.

fantastic
A really nice experience in Africa！！！ I must say that our guide Vincent is the best guide ever, he introduced all animals, plants and even landscape to us to let us be familiar to Africa. He was so professional and even tried to go extra miles for us to take good photos and have better experience.
Also we were so lucky that we’ve seen ten big cats in a day and even saw the river crossing during safari, that was stunning and insanely spectacular. I would highly recommend tourist that are interested in safari to join KASC.

Everything was well organized. Our driver Josh was excellent and did a fantastic job.
The tour was well organized. The modt important aspect in such tours is defintely the driver. Our driver Josh did an excellent job. But we heard from other groups (from other operators) that their driver weren‘t that good (didn‘t talk, less effort). So make sure you get a good driver, for example Josh. Also invest the additional money for a Land Cruiser (instead of the minivan), it‘s worth the money. The obly negative aspect was the good in the camp: 4 days, 8 times more or less the same. But since it was a budget tour, it was acceptable and wasn‘t fue to the tour operator. All budget camps serve more or less the same food every day.

Far exceeded our expectations honoring a 2 year old commitment due to COVID!
We booked a safari with Classic Journeys over 2 years ago and had paid the majority of our trip prior to COVID affecting worldwide travel. Charles was our first point of contact and stayed in touch with us until we were able to safely travel 2 years later. When we first booked the safari it was to be a family vacation for 4 people and later we switched to 2. Charles was able to upgrade our accommodations and extend the length of our trip. My wife and I embarked on a private 2 week safari encompassing Kenya and Tanzania at 6 different camps and lodges in July 2022. The communication was excellent and prompt and the customer service was fantastic! We researched the web prior to booking with Classic Journeys and were not disappointed! The cost was not the cheapest nor the most expensive and we were looking to get the most out of our experience without breaking the bank. Our guides, Dixon and Praygod, were knowledgeable and indispensable in making our safari a dream vacation for us both. We were able to see several different landscapes, environments and animals and our guides shared a wealth of information everywhere we went! We are looking forward to returning and using Classic Journeys to set up another safari in the future!
