Excellent Safari experience
5/5

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!
5/5

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.

Super tour
5/5

Went with Migration Venture Africa for 6-days safari tour to 4 main national parks. To say that we had an amazing and I should say an emotional experience is to say nothing. Our guide Thomas had an incredible eye for spotting even little “invisible” creatures in the grass, on the trees, under the stone etc. With his help we’ve managed to see all big five and many many other animals. Also, we’ve learned so much from him about animals’ habitat, habits and instincts. Besides that, Thomas really made us feel at home and was ready to help with any sort of a problem or a question.
I’d like to thank again the agency and Thomas personally for an unforgettable and once in a life time experience!!
P.S. Hope Thomas reads this - I promise to learn Jumbo song in Swahili))

Another Great Vacation
5/5

When we arrived in Tanzania we found Thomas our guide eagerly waiting for us and it was a happy re-union after 2 years. This time we were doing the 7 days tour through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to North Serengeti where the great the migration was taking place. We had the most beautiful trip in the safari capital of the world with Thomas giving us a record 4 crossings in addition to the numerous views of other animals, landscapes and great company.
Thank you guys for another great vacation.

Better than we expected
5/5

Migration Venture Africa was over the top from start to finish. Amos did amazingly well in talking to us to understand what we wanted and then designed us a wonderful schedule.
When we arrived in Tanzania we found Thomas our guide waiting for us at KIA. He proved to be a worthy safari guide always anticipating our wishes before we could spell them out. We wanted to have a close-up encounter with a lion and on the first day of safari in lake Manyara he takes us to an area where a pride of more than 10 lions were resting in trees, we got to see many more lions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in adition to the other wild animals that I cannot possibly name.
We really loved the accommodations selected for us, they were all excellent!
Thank you again Amos & Thomas for a wonderful trip.

Reliable and serious agency to organise your safari.
5/5

- Very good communication with the agency to organize our safari, we were able to choose the hotels/lodges, the airport of arrival, as well as the parc we visited (we added a day to a 4 day trip proposed, and the agency totaly adapted the program)
- Very good communication even during the covid crisis, you have an answer in a maximum 24 hour delay.
- The hotels during our safari were of very good standard, the food excellent (you have more than needed) and well located (quiet).
- Our guide Ninah was experienced, he managed to find all the animals we wanted to see, he takes time for you to watch the animals you want, he explained to us a lot about wildlif. Thank you so much for these incredible days with you!

Migration Ventures is second to none
5/5

We have been to many destinations and Tanzania is certainly has some of the most well conserved and beautiful places in the world. Planning our trip was easy as Amos helped with the local logistics and coordination. This was surely the best time to visit as we had the parks almost to ourselves the same case for the lodges that we stayed in. Our experience with safari guide Erasto was second to none, everything was planned well and I highly recommend everyone to visit Tanzania.

We had a wonderful Safari
5/5

We had an awesome time in Tanzania with Migration Venture Africa where we saw all the animals and much more than we had expected in 4 days of magical adventure. Epa our guide on this private safari for my boyfriend and I. There were not many other tourists I guess owing to C19 and according to Epa this was a plus for us and the animals with little distractions. Serengeti National Park was awesome tracking the wildebeest herds on the great migration, followed by lions, cheetahs and jackals. Ngorongoro was super too- we even saw 2 rhinos.
They organized for excellent accoms all round!

Splendid!
5/5

Our Christmas vacation with Migration Venture was well planned and executed from start to finish. Our guide Erasto impressed us very much with his prowess in selecting the right tracks in the parks jungles to the best wildlife encounters. That takes experience of traversing the parks numerous times to have such knowledge. He was a real gentleman and generously shared his vast experiences in his guiding career as well as teaching us many things to do with conservation, history, peoples cultures and even bits from his personal life. By the end of the trip we’d become very fond of him and we actually look forward to seeing him soon.
I will definitely go back to Tanzania and will book his services way in advance!

The Best Safari Ever
5/5

Our guide Anderson is the best, he pulled all stops to give us the best safari trip ever showing us around Tanzania which is a beautiful country and equally beautiful and friendly people. We had an amazing time visiting locations in Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. Each park is quite different from the other and it was special going with such an experienced guide who knew the active spots, best for spotting animals, breathtaking views and a go between with indigenous Bushmen and Maasai.
It was both interesting and exciting experience to visit Africa and we loved it all.
Migration Venture is the best!
