An amazing safari
Our guide was Tom and WOW! His 18 years' experience really shows. He cares for and loves animals and he really knew where to go to get us the best views. We saw all the big 5 and got really up close and personal with lions and elephants! He liaises with other guides to make sure you don't miss out.
You need a guide who knows animals but is also an excellent driver. Tom's off-road skills meant we never got stuck once, but we did see car after car getting stuck in the mud. We even pulled a few of them out with our car!
Speaking to other safari tourists along the way we realised we made the right choice. Many had complaints and issues, but not us - many were jealous of the photos that Tom managed to allow us to get. Getting stuck can mean losing hours of your day, so we were so glad for Tom's skills.
Amos responded to our booking enquiry quickly and clearly. He tweaked our tour to suit our needs and even met us at our hotel the day before to introduce Tom to us. Migration Venture is a fantastic company that cares. Trust them to deliver a great safari experience for you!

Flexible and Professional
So I booked a four day three night safari tour with this group. Amos is helpful during the booking process and accomodating due to changes with Covid. During the safari I had Lamek as the tour guide and Issa as the tracker. I was booked into a simple but clean accomodation and was well fed. They accommodate for vegetarians too. I was lucky and Lamek really tried hard to look for the animals during the game drive and is experienced. I had a great time. Thank you

Amazing Trip
It was an amazing adventure. We had a lot of fun. The communication was very easy, we booked a trip one day before via our hostel and got all the informations, and the price was very reasonable. Our guide fulfilled all our expectations. He did additional stops for us so we could discover another things on the way. We laughed a lot and enjoyed our tour. Thank you. We would definitely recommend this company.

The best trip ever!
This was my dream to go on a safari in Tanzania and see all of the magical things I always whanted to see. Tom our guide did everything in his way to make this experience the best possible and he always was a part of our group and always told us what was going on so we never felt that we were in the dark about anything. Tom is the best!!!

One of my lifes best experiences
Tom was more than a guide for us.
He became a part of our little group of four and he was very good at what he does. In the beginning of our five day safari he asked us about wich animals that we had on our wish list so that he could make a plan and a good rout for each and every day so that we didnt miss anything.
And we did actully get to see each and every one of the animals on our wish list throu out the safari. In the beginning of every day before take off he explained what we would do that day and if anyone of us had a question tom always had the answer and that gave us a fealing of securety.
Tom always was aware of our soroundings and of our safety. He gave us a feeling that he always had everything under controll and that is very important quality in a safary guide i think because if the tourguide is not so sure about things that makes you as a passanger very unsecure and that takes away alot of the experience. Tom got us to encounter the animals from very close distance like 2 meters from a cheetah.
I souldrottningen say that tom gets 11/10 points for his knowledge and experience.

Best safari you could imagine!
We had an amazing trip with Migration into Tarangire park, N’goro n’goro crater, we stayed in the Serengeti national park living in tents for two nights among lions, hyenas and elephants, the experience was simply amazing - much thanks to our guide, Tom. He showed us all the best corners of the parks and managed to show us every animal on our checklist, we literally were bombing him with questions and there was nothing he didn’t know, super knowledgeble and humble guy. We simply were above and beyond. 11 out of 10 points to Migration v. and Tom.

Better than we could have imagined
Everything has been excellent from the first communication until we were dropped of at the airport by our tour guide. The safari was even bettet than we expected and everything went smoothly without any issues. Our guide Tom was absoutely excellent and did everything to make sure that we were happy and got to experience everything that we wanted. He is very experienced and has a lot of knowledge and we were lucky to get him as a guide. We had a lot of fun with him and i really cant recommend him enough, you wont find a better safari guide. We miss him already!

Good experience
Kilimanjaro, Marangu route:
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was assigned with 6 porters (solo trip), which I believe is too much (there were 5 porters for a group of 2)
- Food is okay, but almost the same every day + they have not asked me about allergies and my preferences before the trip, thus I was not eating half of what they gave to me, but still, it was enough to be full
- Stuff was friendly
- They assigned additional porter for me during summit night (last minute call) and expected additional tips for that
Everything met my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture Africa for summiting Kilimanjaro

Excellent Safari experience
I started communicating with Amos when I was not certain about the trip. Once we made a final decision, it took one day to make a deposit and final arrangements. Our guide Thomas was excellent in spotting animals. Only thanks to him we saw the Big Five! He also knows a lot about animals. Thomas also took into account all our needs and made minor but very important changes in the schedule. Perfectly customer-oriented guide and cautious and experienced driver. Highly recommended! Thanks a lot!

Very good overall experience!
We went on a 5-day tour and were totally satisfied. The details go below.
=== Strongside ===
Communication, driver, service, lodges, and camps were just awesome. We liked the attention a lot. The guys were in touch and were ready to answer any upcoming questions. The driver was very polite and intelligent, told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and their behavior.
Also, our driver changed the way how we eat during a safari game drive. All other groups were eating from cardboard boxes (I would say 1-star food), but we had good food from hotels we are staying in (4-star food). That changed our experience a lot! Thank you Anderson!
=== Pitfalls ===
On our first day, the car was broken. That issue was resolved pretty fast and we were sent to a hotel in another car. Also, the company bought us a bottle of wine as an apology. Everything might happen on the road, thus I do not think that is the company's fault and I am happy that the issue was resolved fast.
On our last day, we told "goodbye" to our driver and gave a tip of $25. We thought that should be a decent tip since he did a good job, but by our driver's reaction, we understood that there is something wrong. Later we found out that the recommended tip amount is $15 per day per person which equals to $150 for our 5-day tour! That should be a tip, not a salary, right? In my opinion, the recommended amount is way too high. We are not a very rich family and can not afford $150 tips. But on the other hand, we did not want to offend our driver (he did a really great job). That is a dilemma that we were not able to solve and thus lost some part of the "our trip is excellent" mood.
