Our family adventure with Migration Venture and Amos in Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to focus on enjoying our once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Our custom trip began with the 8-day climb of Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route, and we couldn't have asked for better guides than Epa and Joseph. If you’re looking for a tourist guide, Epa is not for you. But if you want a seasoned professional who will ensure you reach the summit safely and well-acclimatized, Epa is second to none. Epa's calm demeanor and deeply humane, supportive presence made us feel at ease throughout the climb. Joseph was especially supportive during the hardest times of the climb; his encouragement was invaluable in keeping our spirits high.

We were also immensely grateful for Epa’s crew: a team of 14 porters and a cook, assembled by Epa himself. It’s clear they have a deep respect for him and his incredible experience. Epa’s genuine concern for their well-being fostered a strong sense of loyalty and dedication. The porters' remarkable dedication was evident every day, as some, after setting up camp, would come back one or two kilometers to help carry our bags. Their efforts and kindness made our climb not only possible but enjoyable.

Following the climb, we embarked on a 5-day safari through Tarangire Park, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara national parks. The highlight of our safari was undoubtedly the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti and the canoe safari on Lake Manyara. Both experiences were breathtaking and offered unique perspectives on Tanzania’s stunning landscapes and wildlife.

Our safari driver, Denis, was exceptional. His driving skills ensured our safety, and he had an uncanny ability to position the vehicle perfectly for the best views of the animals, while respecting the experience of other park visitors. What truly stood out was Denis's pride in his vehicle. Despite the dust flying around all day on the gravel roads of the national parks, Denis made sure his car was clean, reliable, and comfortable every single day. This attention to detail was greatly appreciated.

Amos, the mastermind behind our trip, was fantastic. His meticulous planning meant that every detail was taken care of, leaving us with no hurdles during our journey. The only hiccups we faced were with arrangements we tried to organize ourselves. But even then, Amos came to our rescue, salvaging our stay in Zanzibar and turning it into another highlight of our trip.

We highly recommend Migration Venture to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania. From the challenging climb of Kilimanjaro to the mesmerizing safaris, every moment was extraordinary.

Thank you, Amos, Epa, Joseph, and Denis, for making our dreams come true!
