Overall, very average. Lacking atmosphere and not comfortable.
Rather expensive for what felt like a very average experience. Accommodation was as expected and quite nice. Food was also ok, nothing special.
Vehicle very old, rattly and not very comfortable. One of the oldest we saw. Which was a shame given how long you spend it it every day.
The driver was similar to an Uber driver, hard to communicate in English and lacking detail or any excitement at all. Gave up asking any questions.
The overall experience felt disappointing and lacking given the mid to high range price. Recommend keeping options open.

Excellent experience and staff
We had an excellent safari with Migration Venture. Our guide (Kiva) was always listening to our needs and expectations.
We had the possibility to discover all the animals and cultures as expected.
Kiva keeps always his smile even after long drive !
Asante!

Amazing Guide
We booked a 7-day safari with Khareem via African Migration Ventures, and overall had a fantastic experience.
We booked through Amos, who was very flexible and accommodating when our flights had to be rebooked to different dates due to the situation in the Middle East. He rearranged everything at no extra cost, which we really appreciated. The booking process itself was smooth, although there were a couple of mix-ups with the accommodation, and on two occasions we were provided with accommodation that was different from (and slightly lower in quality than), what we had originally agreed. The documentation that Amos sent, and the narrative wrote in the literature, did cause some confusion, as we had went to Tanzania to see the Great Migration, which the itinerary mentions throughout (and the name of the company alludes too), so not being able to witness this was sad. So just as a point to improve on for the company )perhaps a little less use of AI might be helpful), as well as potential safari-ers when you’re booking.
The safari vehicle was definitely an older model, and this showed at times, as we broke down on several occasions, our guide had to do hasty repairs, and were rescued by three different tour guides! However, we honestly took this as part of the safari adventure, and it didn’t spoil the experience for us at all.
Our guide, Khareem, was absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly kind, friendly and gentle, and made us feel very well looked after throughout the trip. He ensured that we saw all of the Big Five, while also doing his best to accommodate our requests to see specific other animals.
Khareem made sure that our first safari certainly won’t be our last. We had a fantastic experience overall, and if we ever book another safari with African Migration Ventures, we would definitely ask for Khareem specifically.

Average
Overall, the safari itself was a good experience, and the communication team was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the process.
Unfortunately, the safari driver was the main negative point of our experience. He did not even offer us a bottle of water during the trip, despite the fact that we were traveling with a small child. According to the agreement, food, snacks, or at least drinks were supposed to be included.
What made this even more disappointing was seeing that many other safari vehicles were clearly providing drinks and refreshments to their guests.
Because of this lack of basic care and hospitality from the driver, I am not sure I would choose the same agency again for my next safari trip, even though the communication team and the overall organization were good.

Pretty good
The safari experience was incredible, it was one of the best things we have ever experienced in our lives. Isack, our guide, behaved excellently! He was very attentive, kind, cordial, respectful and was always looking after us, even though we always failed to meet the departure time his service was totally professional and friendly.
I am not giving 5 stars because at the beginning of the negotiation I had contact with a person who did not treat me very kindly, however we made the deal and 3 days before starting the safari I wrote to him and he told me that he was no longer with the company. When I wrote to the company they took a while to give me a specific answer about how, at what time and who would pick me up to start my safari and this generated an unpleasant experience for me, you have to understand that these negotiations when done over the internet and from one country to another are delicate, the lack of timely response generates distrust and I was already getting worried because of this. However, this is totally separate from our guide who was excellent.

WONDERFUL AND UNFORGETABLE
We had an amazing safari experience from start to finish! Everything was very well organized, from the first quote all the way to our arrival. The communication was great, and Mr. Amos was always very clear, transparent and responsive. He made sure we had all the information we needed before coming, which made everything very easy and stress-free.
We spent four incredible days with our driver Israel, and honestly, he was so much more than just a driver. He was also an amazing guide and a genuinely great person. He was always taking care of us, making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. He shared so much knowledge with us and really went the extra mile to help us see as many animals as possible. Thanks to his experience, we were lucky enough to see so many different animals, including all of the Big Five!
We did the 4-day, 3-night safari and everything was great. The lodges were excellent and the service was always at a very good level.
This was so much more than just a safari. It was a truly unforgettable experience and we made some amazing memories. We honestly have nothing negative to say. If we had the chance to do it again, we would absolutely choose the same company and, of course, Israel again!
A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially to Israel for making these four days so special. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic tour!
Peter, our guide, was fantastic. He located animals so easily, giving us great viewing spots and allowing us as much time as we needed at each spot to enjoy the scenery. He provided facts and was able to answer questions around the animals and landscapes. It was nice doing a tour with someone where you could see a genuine love for the animals as he was eager to show us as much as possible.
We saw all of the big 5, plus more and managed to see the migration which was a surreal experience.
The tour itself was very well planned and each accommodation was very nice. The bedrooms and food was great in each one and many had great seating areas attached to the rooms where you could sit and enjoy the landscape.
Would thoroughly recommend!

VERY friendly, professionally, reliable
We have done a walking safari in Arusha National Park. We have seen a lot of animals (buffalo, zebras, giraffes, even hippos). The driver and the guide were friendly and knew a lot of the animals. The organization of the tour was fast and flexible to our wishes. We can recommend the organization very much.
Amazing experience
The tour was very well planned and all our wishes were accommodated. Although we had initial issues with bank transfer, Amos helped a lot and managed to resolve the issue. During the trip, despite the long drives our driver Kiva had always a smile on his face and made all the efforts to find wildlife for us. We really enjoyed the trip and saw all the animals that we wished to see.

Easy communication
An excellent agency for the Kilimanjaro climb; communication via email in English was prompt, and the welcome at the agency on the day of departure was great. The two guides (Ramashani and Toeydi) were perfect—highly experienced and attentive to our needs. The porters and the cook gave us the best possible chance of reaching the summit.
