"Santos had an exceptional eye for spotting animals. We saw the big five, including a massive pride of over 30 lions with adorable cubs and a leopard hunting in the rain — something very rare. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, choose Santos."

A Legacy Built on
Extraordinary Journeys
"Moses had extremely sharp eyes. He pointed out wildlife camouflaged in the grasses without relying on the radio. His wealth of knowledge about animals is incredible — sharing fascinating facts about their psychology and relationships with other animals."
"This was my third return trip to the Serengeti with Migada. I return with the same guide year after year because Fadhili is an exceptional safari guide. He can spot animal activity before it occurs and position you perfectly for the best possible moment."
"The safari was way beyond our expectations! Very well arranged, and the service from both the Migada office staff and our driver Donald was top class. I would recommend visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti — all very different and all equally spectacular."
"All around the best tour guide company and guide. Everything was organised to the very last detail for our 8-day, 7-night safari in Tanzania. We would do the same exact thing again in a heartbeat. Thank you Mike!"

"A superb 7-day Kosher safari with Migada. Great excursions, excellent food and wonderful accommodations. Laurence was amazing — extraordinary in his knowledge, patient and easy-going. Despite the added intricacies of keeping it strictly Kosher, they did a fantastic job. We'd go again with no hesitation."
"We were a family of 15 and the guides, drivers and organisation over four days were excellent. We saw almost everything within hours of leaving the airstrip — the Great Migration, a lion kill, and more than one Leopard. Truly professional and part of our group throughout."
"My family, including our 5-year-old, visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire and saw over 30 species of mammals and 100 species of birds. Our guide Mike was extremely professional, experienced, knowledgeable and helpful throughout."
"Even as our final days approached, guide Moses kept us enthralled with his unwavering enthusiasm and knowledge. His keen eyes seemed to detect animals long before we did, sharing fascinating insights about their habits and adaptations."
"We had an incredible 3 days and were exceptionally well taken care of. We saw a lot of wildlife and gained incredible knowledge about the local culture. Our guide was fantastic and incredibly responsive — any changes or needs were handled promptly without a hitch."

"5-day safari across Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire with our brilliant driver Donald. The highlight? Being asked by rangers to help steer a rhino back into the national park alongside 20 tourist vehicles. Unexpected, thrilling, and utterly unforgettable!"
"A fabulous 12-day safari for my husband's 50th Birthday. All communications were excellent and emails answered very promptly. Santos looked after us across Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha. Sundowners on the crater rim were simply spectacular."
"Our guide Donald spoke perfect English, was very knowledgeable about Tanzania and all the animals, and always extremely polite and considerate. The safari was amazing. I can't wait to come back again — Tanzania is a beautiful country and the people there are so warm."
"Farro was the best guide and driver we had on our entire East Africa safari — professional, kind, and incredibly effective at finding animals. He made our Tanzania leg exceed our wildest expectations. We had an extraordinary time in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater."
"From the moment we arrived in Tanzania we received red carpet service. Mike set us up with the best driver, Charles. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Zanzibar — First Class Service all the way! Mike and his team put together one hell of a tour for us."
"Charles was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable about all the animals, with a great personality who made the safari fun and informative. We saw the Big 5 plus so many other animals. There is no way I can convey how perfect this trip was — memories I'll treasure for a lifetime."

"Our guide Lawrence spotted some very difficult sightings of leopards and most incredibly, a Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. KatiKati camp was our best accommodation experience. Tanzania has to be experienced to truly understand. Thanks for making it so memorable, Mike!"

Before You Book
Questions We Get Asked Most
Everything you need to know to feel confident before your first conversation with us.
How do I start the booking process with Migada Adventures?
Fill in the Safari Blueprint on this page — it takes under three minutes and tells us your travel style, party size, and preferred dates. One of our local specialists will review your answers and send you a personalised draft itinerary within 24 hours. There is no commitment at this stage, just a conversation to understand what you are looking for. You can also reach us directly on WhatsApp or email if you prefer to start with a quick chat.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 6–9 months ahead, especially for travel during peak season (July–October) or over major holidays. The finest lodges and camps in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro fill quickly, and early booking gives us the greatest flexibility to secure your preferred accommodation and dates. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — contact us and we will do our best.

Are your safaris completely private?
Yes — entirely. Every Migada Adventures safari is fully private: your own vehicle, your own guide, your own schedule. You will never share a game drive with strangers. This means drives start when you are ready, go where you want, and linger as long as the sighting calls for it. Privacy is not an upgrade with us — it is how every safari is designed.
Can you cater for special dietary requirements, including Kosher?
Absolutely. We cater to all dietary requirements — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and Kosher. Migada Adventures has significant experience arranging Kosher safaris, including sourcing pre-sealed Kosher meals for camps where on-site preparation is not available. Please let your specialist know your requirements when we begin planning so we can arrange everything ahead of time.
Is safari suitable for families with young children?
Yes — Tanzania is a wonderful family destination. We tailor the experience entirely around your family's ages and interests, selecting family-friendly camps, adjusting game drive timing, and weaving in educational experiences for younger travellers. Many luxury lodges welcome children of all ages. We generally recommend a minimum age of 6 for most game drives; share your children's ages with us and we will design accordingly.
What health preparations should I make before travelling?
We recommend visiting a travel health clinic at least 6–8 weeks before departure. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly advised for Tanzania. Yellow Fever vaccination may be required depending on your routing through other countries. Routine vaccinations (Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid) are also recommended. Your Migada specialist will provide a health advisory note as part of your pre-departure briefing pack.
What travel documents will I need?
You will need a valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your return date, a Tanzania visa or eVisa, and your travel insurance details. If travelling with children where not all parents are present, a notarised consent letter may be required. Some nationalities also require proof of Yellow Fever vaccination. We review all documentation requirements with you well ahead of your departure date.
Do you handle airport transfers and flights between parks?
Yes — we arrange everything from your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to your final departure, including road and light aircraft transfers between parks, and all inter-camp logistics. Domestic flights between Arusha and the parks or Zanzibar are typically included or offered as an add-on. You simply arrive — we handle every detail from that point forward.
Can I make changes to my itinerary after booking?
Yes. We build flexibility into every booking because we understand that plans can shift. Adjustments prior to the final payment date can generally be accommodated at no extra charge. Changes closer to departure are subject to individual lodge and supplier terms, which we explain clearly in your booking agreement. Our team is available throughout the entire process — before, during, and after your safari.
What should I pack for a Tanzania safari?
Pack lightweight, neutral-coloured clothing — khaki, olive, tan, and cream. Avoid bright colours and blue tones, which can attract tsetse flies. Essentials: a wide-brim hat, SPF 50+ sunscreen, DEET-based insect repellent, binoculars, a camera with a zoom lens, a warm layer for cool early-morning drives, and comfortable closed-toe shoes. Luggage should be soft-sided for light aircraft transfers between camps. Your Migada specialist will send a full personalised packing list as part of your pre-departure briefing.
What is the Great Migration and when does it happen?
The Great Migration is the largest overland wildlife movement on earth — over 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebra, and hundreds of thousands of gazelle following rainfall and fresh grazing across the Serengeti ecosystem. It is a year-round cycle: calving season in the southern Serengeti (December–March), the northward trek through the central Serengeti (April–June), and the dramatic Mara River crossings in the north (July–October), where enormous crocodiles lie in wait. We align your dates to whichever chapter of the Migration matters most to you.
Do I need a visa to visit Tanzania?
Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania. We strongly recommend applying for an eVisa online before you travel — it is straightforward and avoids any airport delays. Apply directly through the official Tanzania Immigration portal: visa.immigration.go.tz ↗. Visa on Arrival is also available at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and Dar es Salaam's Julius Nyerere Airport (DAR). Your Migada specialist will confirm the exact requirements for your nationality well before departure.
What safari combinations make for a richer East African experience?
Tanzania pairs beautifully with several destinations. The most popular combinations are: Tanzania + Zanzibar (beach after the bush — perfect contrast), Tanzania + Kenya (follow the full arc of the Great Migration across both countries), Tanzania + Rwanda (mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park), and Tanzania + Uganda (chimpanzee tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest). We operate across East Africa and can design a seamless multi-country journey around your interests and timeframe.
Is Tanzania safe to visit?
Tanzania is widely regarded as one of Africa's most stable, welcoming, and safe travel destinations. The national parks are well managed and well patrolled. All game drives are conducted in private 4WD vehicles with experienced, licensed guides following strict safety protocols. Incidents involving safari guests in Tanzania's parks are extremely rare. As with any international travel, basic awareness in city areas is sensible — your Migada specialist will brief you fully on what to expect at every stage of your journey.
