This safari was astonishing, what a beautiful and naturally abundant country to see and what a way to see it! We had lunch with a leopard, woke up to the grace of an elephant and stayed up in our migration camp to listen to hyena in the middle of the Serengeti! The highlights of Farm of Dreams, Signature Serengeti and Moonbow lodge made this an incredible-value trip!! What really made the trip was our guide James (thankyou James!) He taught us everything from the history of Tanzania and local traditions to the changing behaviour in wildlife and the environment. We were fortunate to see the big five as well as cheetah and a host of outstanding African birds that he was patient enough to keep stopping for so we could photograph! James is a legend in Tanzania we are so happy we got to do this trip with him! Book direct with a group of friends you won’t regret it! Jordan

Reviews
We had an absolutely fantastic safari trip, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Pius. He was incredibly dedicated and responsible, working tirelessly every day to help us find animals. He kept the vehicle spotless and clean every single day, and even made sure we had cold Coca-Cola to enjoy along the way — such a lovely touch! Pius also shared so much knowledge about the animals, which made the whole experience even more enriching. We had such a happy and memorable trip! We also want to give a big shout-out to Silas, who was our first point of contact. He responded quickly and promptly to every message, and handled any issues efficiently and professionally. We highly recommend both of them — thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
Edward was, without question, one of the greatest highlights of our safari in Tanzania. Everyone in our group agreed that his service was impeccable, his knowledge was outstanding, and his professionalism went far beyond what we expected from a safari guide. We would recommend him without hesitation. What impressed us most was how seriously Edward respected what his guests genuinely wanted to see. He never simply followed the standard route or settled for the most obvious sightings. His knowledge of the national parks was truly exceptional, allowing him to locate even extremely rare wildlife scenes with remarkable accuracy. By the later part of our trip, experiences that many visitors considered once-in-a-lifetime sightings—such as the famous wildebeest river crossing—had almost become familiar to us, simply because Edward had already managed to show us so many of them. His understanding of animal behaviour, movement patterns, and the surrounding environment was equally extraordinary. He consistently anticipated where the animals were heading, found the best possible viewing and photography positions, and often got us there before anyone else. At the same time, he was always careful not to disturb the animals, allowing them to behave naturally and, on several occasions, come remarkably close to our vehicle. One of the most unforgettable moments of our entire journey was witnessing a lioness hunt. After the hunt, Edward accurately predicted the route she would take back and positioned us perfectly ahead of time. Thanks to his judgement, we were the first vehicle to arrive, and the long telephoto photography equipment I had carried all the way to Tanzania finally had its perfect moment: we captured the lioness walking directly towards us with her prey in her mouth. It was a scene we will remember for the rest of our lives. Beyond his expertise, Edward is also an exceptionally kind and thoughtful person. During our trip, we saw him stop at least three times—with our permission—to help other guides who were experiencing difficulties on the road. At the end of every safari day, he carefully checked the vehicle for anything we might have left behind and made sure that our equipment, drinks, and other needs were always taken care of. For Edward, these thoughtful details were not occasional gestures; they were simply part of his daily routine. Edward combines outstanding wildlife knowledge, exceptional judgement, genuine kindness, and an extraordinary level of care for his guests. He did not simply guide us through Tanzania—he created some of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. If you are fortunate enough to have Edward as your safari guide, you are in the very best hands. He deserves our highest possible recommendation.
This trip was well worth the price and offered plenty of flexibility to customize the itinerary based on where we wanted to go and how we preferred to explore each destination. The tour company handled all the tickets, permits, hotels, and logistics, allowing us to relax and enjoy the entire experience without worrying about the details. A special thank-you to our guide, Edward. His outgoing personality, positive energy, and enthusiasm created a fun and welcoming atmosphere throughout the trip. We truly appreciated having him as our guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Our Safari ( 5 days through Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) was simply WONDERFUL - a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We saw an incredible number of animals, quickly ticking off the "big five" and "ugly five", and every day offered new highlights. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, so diverse, wild and yet peaceful and calming. The entire trip was PERFECTLY ORGANISED from the very first moment. From the initial quote, correspondence to the night-time pick-up at the airport, the choice of accommodation and the farewell on the last evening, we felt we were in the best of hands. ( Thanks to Robert and Silas) A special thank you goes to our guide RAJAB. He was always competent, helpful, friendly, patient attentive and cheerful. He told us a lot about wildlife, nature and culture and no question went unanswered. He made us feel safe and well looked after. We laughed a lot, a certain friendship developed and a few tears were shed when we said goodbye. We wish Rajab all the best from the bottom of our hearts! We can highly recommend esperiencing your Safari with RO SCAVENGER
We throughly enjoyed our 9 day safari arranged by R.O. Scavenger, guided by Joshua. The service was excellent, and Joshua's knowledge, attention to detail, and friendly manner made the trip unforgettable. We highly recommend R.O. Scavenger and especially Joshua to anyone interested in this fantastic trip. Candice and Ed
We contacted multiple agencies and settled with RO because of the combination of reasonable price and good communication (special shout out to Silas). I'm pleased to say that they lived up to our expectations and went beyond it on multiple occasions to give us a safari experience we treasured much. Our driver and guide Edward is a disciplined guy who always keep the car tidy and a professional who knows what his doing when looking for animals. For gaming drives, having the right guide really makes all the difference and for us Edward is the guy. For multiple times, we were the first to spot lion/cheeta/leopard because of Edward. And when others share locations where animals can be found, he is quick to get there. He also accommodated us for early start of the day to have the best chance of seeing the big cats and drived us for long hours to help us capture as much as possible. It is also a very heart warming surprise that the director Robert prepared us a gift for our honeymoon. So all in all, I would sincerely recommend RO's service to travelers interested in safari. We had a great time.
We had a fantastic safari with Edward from Ro scavenger safaris We visited Tarangire, Ndutu, Ngorongoro and Manyara over a 6-day drive. We saw the big five and it seems like all the other major animals during the safari - a lot of giraffes and also cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, zebras, ostriches and an endless stream of wildebeest. Edward is an amazing guide, he was always giving us information about the flora and fauna around us, but also about Tanzania in general, the local customs and day-to-day life. He also had an answer ready for any of our questions. A large portion of the safari is off-road driving which is challenging, but Edward is an excellent driver and passed parts of the road where other cars had difficulties without us really noticing. The accommodations were all very cozy and extremely welcoming, especially the tent camp in Ndutu where there was a New Years cake on Jan 1 which was a small celebration in itself with a song. And an elephant walked (safely) through the camp at night which was an unforgettable experience. Overall we’re extremely happy with our first safari and we hope this is the first of many!
RO scavenger was an amazing group to work with! Not only did we have an unforgettable trip of a lifetime, but the Staff was very responsive with our questions prior to our adventure, as well as every step of the way. Our driver, Edward, was excellent. He was so knowledgeable about the area, and went above and beyond to show us the sights and find the animals. This is a good safari company, and they really know how to take care of their clients. Thanks Team RO Scavenger I will definitely come back
We had an incredible experience with this tour company, and we can’t recommend them highly enough. Everything was well-organized, professional, and enjoyable — but what truly made it outstanding was our guide, Joshua. Joshua was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his work. He brought each location to life with interesting stories, local insights, and just the right touch of humor. His energy made the whole trip even more enjoyable, and he went out of his way to make sure everyone in our group felt comfortable and involved. He answered all our questions with patience, helped us capture great photos, and gave us some excellent recommendations along the way. It was clear he truly cares about creating a memorable experience for his guests. Thanks to Joshua and the entire team, this tour was far more than just sightseeing — it was a meaningful and fun adventure we’ll never forget. We’re already looking forward to booking our next trip with them!
"Unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania! Ngorongoro's stunning crater and diverse wildlife left me in awe. Witnessing the Great Migration in Serengeti was breathtaking. Tarangire's majestic elephants and ancient baobabs were mesmerizing. The knowledgeable guides and warm locals made the experience truly special. From sunrise to sunset, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. The scenery, wildlife, and hospitality were top-notch. A must-visit destination for any nature lover and adventure seeker! Highly recommended. 5/5 stars for an unforgettable Tanzanian adventure!
Unforgetable safari with a guide at the top! Edward. He made us dream through his passion and professionalism. Highly recommended

We had an incredible 6-day safari experience with Ro Scavenger Safaris! From the very beginning, everything was well-organized, smooth, and exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Sam, was outstanding knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable. Each day brought new adventures, from spotting the Big Five to witnessing breathtaking landscapes across the parks. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the team was always on time and professional. Ro Scavenger Safaris truly gave us a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommended to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
This African safari has truly been one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life. We explored the vast wildlife reserves, led by our amazing local guide, . He was incredibly sincere, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He could always spot animals hidden in the bushes before anyone else and shared many fascinating facts about their behavior and characteristics with us. His passion for nature was contagious. The accommodations also exceeded all my expectations. Our tented lodges were clean, comfortable, and beautifully integrated with the surrounding environment. Returning to camp each day to a warm towel and a refreshing drink felt incredibly thoughtful and welcoming. Thanks to our guide, we didn’t just see the wildlife — we understood it. His genuine care and expert guidance added so much meaning to the entire journey. If you're considering a safari, I recommend it. You’ll return not just with photos, but with emotional connections to nature and memories that last a lifetime.
We are in the airport returning from the BEST experience ever. Ro Scavengers made sure that everything was perfectly organized for our honeymoon. Edward is the best guide in the WORLD. He went above and beyond so that we could have an unforgettable experience. Always happy and super attentive. Thanks to all the team.
My experience with RO Scavenger Safaris was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we were picked up to the final drop-off, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole journey feel personal and exciting. The wildlife sightings were incredible — we saw everything from lions and elephants to rare birds, all while learning interesting facts about the ecosystem. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and offered stunning views of the landscape. What stood out the most was how well-organized and immersive the experience was. RO Scavenger Safaris truly goes the extra mile to make you feel safe, informed, and connected to nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure!
We are completely satisfied by the service they provided to us. Communication was easy and quick via email and WhatsApp. Every question was addressed rapidly. Payments were secure and the trip definitely worth the money we spent. Edward, our guide, was superb. He was always professional, and he gave us the most of this experience without forgetting the respect of animals and nature. We couldn't suggest him more.
We chose Ro Scavenger Safaris based on a recommendation from friends. It was a great decision. The communication was flawless and the planning of our trip was excellent. A three-day safari from Seronera via Ndutu to Ngorongoro was planned for us. With two overnight stays in tents. We were warmly welcomed by our guide, Edward, with drinks and snacks at Seronera airport. Edward is super friendly, speaks great German and English and can tell you all about the animals and plants and the history of the national parks and the country. On the first day we explored Serengeti, on the second we were in the Ndutu area and on the third we drove to the crater in Ngorongoro. Edward always had snacks and drinks for us between the trips. We also always stopped for lunch to enjoy a delicious meal in the countryside. The food was very, very tasty (tam sana in Swahili). In the evening, we were taken to the camps, where we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The accommodation is clean, large, equipped with toilets and showers and is solar-powered. So you have electricity at all times. Edwards and our goal was to find the Big Five and we succeeded. We would book Ro Scavenger Safaris again at any time and would want to go on safari with Edward.
Edward was our guide, he was thoughtful and professional. Very outgoing, atmosphere group. We were on a 7-day puerper season safari and the overall experience was great. There is also a risk of rain and car trapping, but it is generally smooth. The scenery is beautiful, lots of animals seen, memorable trip. Edward loves the watermelon-flavored candy. If the Chinese guests go, remember to bring it for him!
We recently took a wildlife tour of Tanzania arranged by RO Scavenger Safaris Ltd, which was a truly unforgettable experience. Very well organised from start to finish, we are completely immersed in Tanzania's magnificent natural scenery and abundant wildlife without worry. Special thanks to our guide Edward, he was really amazing! He knows the animals, the national parks and the local culture well enough to make the whole journey more lively and interesting. He was very patient and thoughtful and always made sure we had the best possible experience on our journey. Under his leadership, we've seen many wildlife - including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and so on - many times very close up. From the time we were picked up and dropped off, to the hotels we stayed at, to the wonderful journey through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks, everything exceeded our expectations. RO Scavenger really did what it took to make the trip a special, personalized experience. If you're thinking about a trip to Tanzania, we highly recommend RO Scavenger Safaris! If you get the chance, be sure to ask Edward to be your guide, and you won't regret it! This trip has left us with memories we will never forget. Thank you very much to RO Scavenger and to Edward!
We had a great time on a 10-day hunting trip arranged by RO Scavenger Safari! From the itinerary to the daily viewing experience, everything went well and was unforgettable. Our guides are very professional, friendly and make sure we see the best wildlife in Tanzania, including the African Pentabar. Comfortable accommodation, attentive service and a new and exciting experience every day. It was really a trip of a lifetime and we are very grateful to RO Scavenger Safari for making it happen for us. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a real and well-organized hunting trip to Tanzania. 🌍🦁🐘
