On tour with Great Migrations – we will show you Tanzania
To enjoy the ultimate vacation, to take your own prize-winning photos or simply to experience a day in the company of the world’s most majestic animals – there is hardly anything which stimulates the human imagination more than a safari. The founder and owner of GREAT MIGRATIONS, Fredrick Aminiely Mbwambo, is from the Mbeya region and has over 18 years of experience in guiding groups from all over the world. Besides his mother tongue Swahili, he speaks fluent English and French. He and his team know the special locations, the best times of day and the most beautiful camps – in short, they know Tanzania.
All tours are planned according to the individual wishes of the customers, which makes each safari with Great Migrations an individual and unique experience. Whether wildlife safari, camping or hiking – with absolute certainty you will experience one of the best tours with fascinating scenes from the animal kingdom: The Big Five, a herd of gnus, antelope and zebra migrations, reptiles, huge flocks of birds or a lonely giraffe on the vast plain of the Serengeti. Before you notice a movement or silhouette in the landscape, Frederick (known as Freddie) has already identified the animal and its direction. It is with good reason that his team has given him the nickname “Hawkeye”.
We are official partner of SafariBookings.com, Bookallsafaris.com and safarigo.com the largest marketplace for African Safaris.
What our Client Say
EXCELLENT Based on 43 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Moritz WVerified Great, greater, Great Migration Safaris. Had the opportunity to do a Safari with Frederick and Shalom in April 2026. It was one of the best trips of my life. Everything was organised perfectly, the areas chosen, the Loges to stay and the food to eat. Frederick and Shalom were an awesome pair in spotting animals and driving us through the beautiful landscape. Would highly recommend it to anyone, who is looking for a safari that feels like it´s organised by one of your friends.Posted on Tripadvisor Christopher CVerified Phenomenal Safari experience My family of 5, 2 children and my 80 year-old mother went on a seven day safari with Frederick and his company Great Migration Safaris. He had his son, Shalom, with him who just graduated from university in wildlife management. Their knowledge of the local areas and their ability to find the animals is uncanny. We were familiar with Frederick from a Safari that my mother and I took in 2018 through an organized venture. We were so impressed with his knowledge and his professionalism that when we decided to bring The Family back I had no other thoughts then to reach out to Frederick. He took care of everything once we reached Tanzania and made the organization of the Safari seamless. We booked from the United States and there was no problem. Everything worked out perfectly. We even were able to see the big five (see pictures below). My family and I cannot say more about the phenomenal experience we had. He’s an exceptional guide and his company is wonderful. If thinking of a trip to Tanzania or Kenya for a Safari, reach out to Frederick and he’ll take care of you! The Cattran family.Posted on Tripadvisor Joann MVerified Trip of a Lifetime This trip of a lifetime is over but in my memory the best trip ever. Our guides Freddie, James, and Shalom were the best of the best and as guides they were incredible in pointing the life of the Serengeti out. I highly recommend this company and this time of year. You won't be disappointed.Posted on Tripadvisor Maureen SVerified Amazing! This was my first safari and it was far better than I had ever imagined. James, Frederick, and Shalom were all incredible at spotting animals and had a deep knowledge and respect for the places and animals we saw. During our ten days together they seemed to be having as much fun as we did while we traveled through the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were greeted every morning with smiles and laughter. I felt very taken care of in every regard. The lodgings were lovely, the meals delicious, and the animals abundant! If I could swing it I'd go twice a year and travel again and again with Great Migrations!Posted on Tripadvisor lisa mVerified best ever! totally life changing!!! it was absolutely fabulous!! the guides and the coordinators made us all feel so cared for, safe, and completely taken care of, not to mention the best trip ever!! life changing!! we saw everything possible the accommodations were completely the best!! i would recommend to everyone who has this io the "bucket list" or any list. the best ever!!!Posted on Tripadvisor Nancy SVerified We spent ten days with the company.

I high recommend themPosted on Tripadvisor Maps691383Verified Lifetime experience This is the sixth time I have gone on safari with Great Migration. The experience was just as incredible as my previous trips. The lodging and food were very good. Freddie and James were our guides and I continue to say they are the best. What they see while driving and often talking on the phone is unbelievable until you see it yourself! I highly recommend Great Migrations.Posted on Tripadvisor Eva YanceyVerified The best safari company in Tanzania We have been on many safaris in Africa. The most important feature of a Safari is the quality of the guides. No experience is better than that with Great Migration Safaris. The guides are so knowledgeable, eager to go off the beaten path to show us animals that are hard to find, and care for our safety. The safari vehicle are comfortable with chilled drinks, snacks and charger units. We have been back with them more than 10 times, and they have never disappointed us. We love Fredrick and his guides. We highly recommend this group.Posted on Tripadvisor Leslie OVerified Fabulous Safari company in Tanzania Frederick was our guide and driver, he is a true gem - knowledgeable, friendly- able to find animals far off the roads. We saw the big 5 lions,rhinos,elephants, leopards and water buffalo. We also saw wildebeest, giraffes, wart hogs, impalas, hippos, zebras and more Frederick able to maneuver challenging roads. His vehicles immaculate- with water & snacksPosted on Tripadvisor Liz LVerified Great Safari May 2025 This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything about it was perfect...the guides, the ride, the animals, the accommodations, the food, the company and unlimited photo opportunities. Fred was an uncanny guide. He has been doing it for 20 years and knows where to find every animal. He knows the name of every bird. He has animal and historical knowledge to share. Just a great guy with a great attitude and always a smile and unwillingness to let us miss anything. 5 stars are not enough!!
