Well organized and a unique safari experience!
4/5

I would like to sincerely thank Alex for being such a great and caring tour guide during our safari trip. As two female travelers, my friend and I felt very comfortable and well looked after at all times. Alex treated us with great respect and consistently made sure that we were treated well everywhere we went. While it is also true that Tanzanian people are generally very kind and friendly, Alex went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe and welcome throughout the trip.

Before the safari, we told Alex what we were most excited to see, and he truly did his best to make it happen. Whether it was a laughing hyena or a buffalo with a bird on its back, he made sure we experienced as much wildlife as possible.

That said, it is important to understand that seeing every single animal is not always within a guide’s control. This should not be held against him, as many factors are simply beyond anyone’s influence.

I am giving four stars instead of five solely due to the food. Unfortunately, the lunch boxes were not suitable for vegans, which was disappointing.

Overall, Alex is an excellent guide and a genuinely caring person, and I would highly recommend him.

4/5

We love our five days safaris . We manage with the our guide to see all animals possible and the best spot and places through our tours . Our guide Joseph was fantastic, kind , fun and a lot of knowledge through this adventure . But migration venture Africa didn’t fulfill the promise of secure 2 lodges or accommodations that they described in their offers which upset us because 5 days safaris cost a lot of money . People who chose this company need to make sure to have insurance that they will get the service paid.

Trustable tour operator
4/5

Safari experience super exciting, we suggest to spend at least one night in the Serengeti park for a 360° experience!
We had 3 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro, 1 day Materuni Waterfalls.
Our guide - David - was amazing in looking for the right spots and always helpful to give us insighits and satisfy our curiosity.
We have to say that there have been some organizational problems, but always promptly solved by the organization.
When cannot give the highest score because of the car that was quite dated and not very comfortable. This affected the overall comfort of the tour, as we spent most of the time within the car.
To conclude, we definetely recommend Migration Venture Africa as a trustable tour operator for an awesome safari experience, maybe by specifing about the car.

Professional, well organized, and honest.
4/5

We undertook the climb of Kilimanjaro but due to illness could not complete the endeavor. We felt that the entire team was supportive and protective. Both Yusef and Ruta, guides extraordinaire, did yoeman's work to guarantee we were safe. We did discuss with Amos (director) that the tip system is cumbersome and unclear and awkward with all potential beneficiaries in close proximity. It also requires carrying large sums of cash for an extended period. Credit cards and a simple percentage up front would be much simpler. I would gladly have accepted the 3% cc surcharge.

Fantastic place for a safari, with a frindly guide!
4/5

We have been on a 6 days, 5 nights safari and saw all the animals we wished for! We booked our safari months in advance. The initial communication was fast and smooth. After the first payment is was a bit difficult to get a confirmation. All in all the communication before the safari was ok, but it was not always fast and clear.

About our guide I can only be very positive: Bonny was professional, helpful and listened to our wishes, even when we didn't explicitly told him. Two friends of ours decided to join our safari and were avid bird-watchers. Bonny catered to their wishes as well. The driving he did was solid and safe.

About the car: it brought us everywhere, but compared to most of the other vehicles around us this seemed to be an older model. Apart from a cracked windhield and a window that could be barely opened, it was also not possible to use the charging stations in the car itsself. The armrests were not functioning at its best as well. So for the four of us (reasonable fit people in their thirties) these were not big issues.
I have material for comparison since the other couple did another safari in the South right after this and also my parents were on a safari a week later. It's best to ask questions about the vehicle beforehand.

About the lodges: most of them were good. The Kankari lodge on the first day stood out, this was luxureous. The same goes for the Ngorongoro forest tented lodge. The Tukaone Serengeti Camps has two campsites, our guide told us that in the park you get assigned a place. What we did not like was that we had to wait an hour at the entrance of the Serengeti because something was wrong with our permit. It was all resolved, but when you pay this amount of money you expect this to be arranged accordingly. We missed an opportunity for a sunset because of it. The octagon Lodge was our least favorite, it didn't live up to our expectations considering the first two lodges.

All in all we've had a great time in all the national parks, and I would totally reccomend doing a 6 day safari! And if you decide to go with Migration Venture Africa it will be a delight to go with Bonny!

SAFARI? HABARI!
4/5

Just returned from an exciting private Safari with Migration Venture.
Denis is a dynamic young tour guide with an excellent sight able to spot animals from miles...4 on 5 of the bigs!!!
Also from Lake Natron to Olduvai Gorge we could rely on the support of other local guides very knowledgeable regarding flora and fauna copiously present all around us.
Tented accommodations are an absolute must if you truly want to experience the authentic safari, especially in the Serengeti, and game drives quite exciting!

Thank you Migration Venture, I had an incredible birthday celebration!

Good services
4/5

We choose Migration venture for a safari after a week of climbing Kilimandjaro with them. A friend of mine recommends this company at the beginning. It was cheaper with other tour and the service was good. They made a mistake with our departure date but everything was modified very quickly. Our guide Bonnie was really sociable, kind and always smiling. He paid attention at everything to make these days perfect and unforgettable for us. Thanks for everything! It was a pleasure to make this safari with you.

Thanks!

Wonderful safari with Noely
4/5

Very nice 5 day/4 night safari thanks to our guide Noely, who knows where to find the animals. The accommodations were very good. We were amazed in each of the 4 parks, especially at Gerenti. The only problem is the lack of a French-speaking guide, just a not very efficient guide/translator! But the main thing was to see all these felines (numerous lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes...) in very good conditions. Thanks again to Noely

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.
