The review below is the personal opinion of Henrique and not that of SafariBookings.
Unorganized
2/5

Well, we made a safari tour from 22 of august to 24 of August of 2023
And our experience was not that great !
I was traveling with my wife, and Amos the contact of us, since the beginning was very impatient and changed a lot of things.
First of all, it was planned to stay in a particular hotel mid range, and we book 4 months in advance.
And 3 days before we arrive they changed our hotel because told that hotel was full!!!
Very unorganized the company!!
Besides that it’s was arranged that we were going to pay by transfer, and Amos again changed what he had combined and told 1 day before that we had to pay in cash…
After all they told a 3rd different hotel to the guide and we were driven to the wrong place after the first safari !!
The second day the same thing happened and the hotel was told that we were going to stay just one night there ! What was not arranged !

The guide was great ( boni) but I don’t recommend this company because the assistance is very bad !!

Dear Henrique, Hope you are doing great.
To be sincerely we would like to apologize for not satisfying your trip as per your perception.
To clarify on your first complain was that you were not satisfied with the abrupt changes that happened on your accommodation as it was planned. Truely we tried to our level best to find you the best accommodation places but unfortunately they were fully booked we again say sorry for not updating on the last minute changes that happened.

About the payment arrangements we usually advice clients to pay some deposit in order to hold the booking, and the rest of the amount should be cleared seven days before the starting date of the tour. So for this case if the client does not make the payment then we advice that they come with the cash because it normally takes long time for the money to reflect on our account. We again apologize for this Henrique.

To conclude this, we would like to say thank you once again for choosing Migration Venture Africa as your choice. Please we will work on the mistakes that happened and we promise to improve to our level best as its our first time this happened. Thank you!

5/5

My partner and I just returned from a 3 day safari with MVA to Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro NP, and Lake Manyara NP. We had an amazing time and were very pleased with the experience provided by MVA. Firstly, Amos was in constant communication with us about the itinerary of our trip, and helped us work through some initial credit card issues. Bonny, our driver/guide, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable about the parks and wildlife, a superb driver, and most importantly a friendly and down to earth human being. We really enjoyed getting to know him during our lunches and breakfasts. The accommodations we stayed at were also excellent. For a "mid-range" safari, the accommodations certainly seemed luxurious. Many tour companies offer this specific 3 day safari, but MVA came in at a slightly lower cost than most (for a private safari), and we felt very good about the value we received. I encourage anyone reading this to consider MVA when planning your own safari.

5/5

Amos was very helpful throughout the process and always checked in with us. The guides not only helped us reach the peak of Kilimanjaro but also have fun doing it. The safari guides as well provides good info and a fun experience. Would recommend

6 Day Machame Route + 4 Day Safari
5/5

Our trip with Migration Venture was great, from airport pick up to drop off.
Our climb with Kim as our guide was absolutely wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive. Overall a great guy and would recommend.
Our Safari was with Christian and just like Kim he knew the answers to all of our questions and was able to accommodate us with our slight change requests to the itinerary. He knew where the best places to shop for souvenirs so we wouldn't get ripped off and always had our best interests in mind.

Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture for your tours. The accommodation at their lodge prior to climb and post safari was adequate, but don't expect luxury. So don't be surprised if there is no hot water in the showers.

Well organised!
5/5

We had an amazing experience, where the agency allowed us to have a personalised programme. We had only 3 days and wanted to see the most safari parks, and we ended up seeing all major ones - Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Everything was well planned and organised, we did not have to worry or think about anything. I recommend for the tourists who do not know anyone in Tanzania and would like to have a professional tour. Thanks for everything!

5/5

It was our first time doing a Safari and we felt we were in very good hands. The communication was very good right from the beginning. We found migration venture via Safaribookings.com. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and we saw so many animals in our 3 day tour in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Only little thing is that we stopped at a Maasai tour by a little confusion, it was nice at the beginning and very soon it felt more of a touristic trap to get money first. Which is however no fault of migration venture. Apart from that, everything was exceptional. Highly recommended.

5/5

We had an excellent and magical 6-day safari and we absolutely loved every second of it. The company is very professional, serviceminded, reliable and excellent. And we were very happy going with Noely, who is a sweet, knowlegeable, friendly, caring guy and good company. We had a wonderful time and were lucky to see and get close to so many different animals. We went with our 7-year old son, who loved it and can highly recommend both the company and Noely for safari with children. Thank you so much Noely and hope to see you again sone day. Great camps, exellent food, good vehicle, magical experiences. We would love to do it all again tomorrow and can recommend the company, guide and experience to everybody who are keen on an adventure of a lifetime.

5/5

We loved our safari with Migration Ventues and would recommend them to anyone! Amos was incredibly responsive, informative, and delivered on his offerings. We had the best guide ever who was very knowledgable and took the time to learn about us and what we wanted to experience from the safari to ensure he gave us the best trip ever.
