Very nice operator I can recommend!
4/5

I can definitely recommend the safari tour! The landscape is amazing and you can see a lot of animals. We lost our baggage at flight and got it two days later. Migration Venture was very helpful in coordination to get it back at airport. Unfortunately because of the delay of the luggage we had to make a different route and had to pay 100 USD extra to Migration Venture which was okay for us. Our guide was very nice and as it was a fully private tour we were quite flexible.

Knowledgeable, communicative
4/5

Migration Venture Africa was very communicative, and they offered a good value for money in their offer. We initially compared a few and went for MVA as they had the number of days we wanted (5 days). The driver/guide picked us up in a clean car with water, we had a great introduction about the days ahead and we went off. The first two days were lovely, a lot of information was shared about the surroundings and habitat of animals, which I love because I'm a curious person. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti 2 days, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. The days are intense but well organized, there's always water and lunches are good. Noel is a great guy and very knowledgeable, just ask him whatever you want to know. We stayed in Octagon Lodge, which was OK and the staff is lovely (they have the best Swahili samosas). However, in Serengeti we stayed at Baobab and that exceeded our expectations - lodged camps were luxurious, the food was good, there was a campfire with an amazing view on Serengeti and the sunset, I wouldn't mind to come back to this one. We were lucky to see the big 5 quite soon which also of course sets the tone. And we did the hot air balloon, which is a unique experience, however in hindsight it's more interesting to do it when the big migration is happening. For me Ngorongoro made the biggest impression because it's the versatile nature (lake, mountains, clouds, lush trees here and there) combined with mixed wildlife living together (all except for giraffes, and rhinos if you're lucky to see them). Lake Manyara was OK but I wouldn't go back, we saw there elephants and lions but as it's the nature you have to be lucky (which we were!). For all others - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoror - amazing destinations! On the way from Ngorongoro to Serengeti you'll be passing by an archeological site (Laetoli footprints) which is worth a check. I'm blessed by this safari experience and we ended our holidays on the beach in Zanzibar.

Reliable and friendly guide (hakunamatata)
4/5

We were 2 friends travelling (females) and here for our 1st time. Some worries we initially had but hakunamatata after a few hours with Noel.
5 days of total relaxation and African massage when “eyes-hunting”. We were blessed to see so many animals: the big 5/the “ugly” 5. We had good laughs and very good night playing game or else. The Baobab tents were amazing, thanks again to Erik. Octagon has an amazing Chef (thanks the lunch box were great) and ask for room 1… very good to chill!
Thanks again migration venture Africa! Noel made our trip a success, no matter how many bumps on the road we had to go through! ;)

four day Masai Mara Safari
4/5

Our guide Erastus was able to get us in front of pretty all animals we wanted to see; lot’s of communication going on all the time on the radio between the guides.
The road trip (specifically Masai Mara to Nairobi is NOT recommendable - super lousy roads so it takes ages and has no value - take a plane)

Kili one day hike
4/5

Caesar our guide was on time and experienced at getting up the mountain for our day hike to the mandara huts. It is about 6 hours of hiking, and was pretty difficult for us (regular 10k runners). This is mostly because of the altitude, we live at sea level.

Good company with a lot of experienced personnel.
4/5

Together with Migration Venture Africa we climbed the Kilimanjaro (Machame route) and went on a 3 day Safari (2 days Tarangire NP and 1 day Ngorongoro NP). We had a great holiday, everything was well organized and the personnel (guides, drivers, cooks, porters, ...) had a lot of experience and were very helpful.

it was an once in a life time experiance
4/5

i would highly recommend this company The staff were very polite and courteous and eager to please with all requests to find animals on safaris The choice of accommodation was excellent and food Vehicles could have been of a later model My only complaint is that as a female travelling on her own that you have a card displaying the company name to identify and not a verbal phone message at the airport as it can be very daunting in a strange country

Dream trip of lifetime with difficult and strenuous tansportation.
4/5

The guides/drivers and itinerary were outstanding! Guides knowledge of game preserves and animals was top notch. There are no suggestions for improvement. Some of our vehicles were old and in need of replacement, causing delays in already long days. Most hotels and tents at Serengetti were outstanding. Mountain Inn staff needs better training on providing service and how to serve hot food.

I was part of a larger group that booked Migration Venture Africa for our safari adventures.
4/5

The people who are part of Migration Venture Africa were all great, as I found all Tanzanians to be. The company was very attentive to any issues or concerns, however my only request would be that they invest in newer safari vehicles. The vehicle I was in ended-up breaking down along side the road, after a day and half fidgeting with the radiator.

Excellent 3-day hike at Kilimanjaro with Nicolas! Everything was extremely well-organized and set-up for me in advance of my visit. Food on the hike was fantastic. My guide Nicolas was very well informed and so nice to hike with.
