Unforgettable and breathtaking 7-day safari
We booked a 7-day safari through Ro Scavenger safaris.
It started right in the morning after landing at Kilimanjaro Airport. Here, our very proficient German-speaking guide, Edward, picked us up, and we drove towards Tarangire National Park. There, we immediately went on our first game drive and despite the rainy season, we could admire plenty of elephants. It had rained a lot in the weeks prior, and the roads were accordingly muddy, but this was not a problem for our guide, Edward.
On day two at Lake Natron, we could observe many flamingos.
Then, we headed into the bush. Two and a half days in Serengeti. Our guide Edward did an excellent job, and we could observe lions, cheetahs, leopards, and buffaloes. Afterwards, we went towards Ngorongoro Crater. On day 5 in the afternoon, we did a "Walking Safari" with a park ranger and could admire the beautiful crater from the edge.
On day 6, we descended into the crater. A natural wonder. Here, our guide Edward could show us the last of the big 5 -> the rhinoceros. On day 7, we visited Arusha National Park and late in the evening, we went to the airport.
We had a fantastic and unforgettable time with Ro Scavenger Safari and would book with them again anytime.

Fantastic experience!
We are really happy we chose RO Scavenger Safaris as our tour operator. Silas, our contact person, was really flexible and helpful from the first moment when we started planning the 4-day safari. The trip was adapted to our preferences and we couldn’t be more happy with the final itinerary. Our guide Edward was the best. He constantly adapted the game drive to what we wanted and searched for the best places to spot the animals, all while answering our endless questions. 100% recommended. Asante!

Excellent and Accommodating
If you’ve decided to travel to Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar then I don’t know how you could possibly leave without a safari in the world’s most recognizable (and justifiably so) parks like the Ngorongoro Crater or the Serengeti.
After you’re set on a safari, you’ll go on your own safari to pick one guide service in a dizzying field of operators. Personally, I think it’s important to choose a local operator and if you’re like me then I am delighted to recommend Robert, Silas and Elia with Tanzania’s own RO Scavenger.
RO Scavenger is made up of an experienced team who my wife and I will always remember for the exceptional, tailored experience they provided for our honeymoon in February and March 2024.
Robert and Silas were incredibly professional and accommodating as they provided timely responses to all inquiries and arranged a seamless pickup to drop-off experience. They really wow’d my wife and I at each possible occasion with flourishes for our honeymoon at many accommodations and a wonderful gift we will cherish forever upon departure. I greatly appreciated the detail they put into our customized itinerary.
Of course a safari is nothing without its guide and driver. Our guide and driver was the multi-talented, universally respected Elia. Elia had worked with several of the other operators we encountered during our safari and had clearly built relationships with several other guides we met. These relationships helped us spot all of the Big 5 and it was also a highlight for us to see Elia help other guides whose vehicles had broken down. Initially, I was surprised by how young Elia was to single-handedly lead us for a 7-day safari, but he proved to be more than capable as a guide, driver, and mechanic!
On safari, you’ll notice most travelers are following a similar itinerary, in a similar vehicle, with the same spots for lunch. In conversations with other tourists you’ll marvel at what you saw and you’ll typically be able to say you saw the exact same things. The difference in experience and therefore quality for my wife and I came from the added touches RO Scavenger provided us related to the accommodations. We booked rather close to our start date, but with a small window, RO Scavenger were able to secure some unique and varying retreats, resorts, tents and lodges that kept each night special. We loved the experience of staying in a traveling tent that moved with the migration of the wildebeest, but we also enjoyed the drinks by the pool resort, and the boutique retreat houses.
I believe we received the best value and best Tanzanian safari experience possible with RO Scavenger! Without hesitation I’d recommend this team.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had our 4D3N safari with RO Scavenger Safaris in early March, and it was fantastic. The safari was truly a bucket list experience and the team was professional, easy to reach, and really made sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. They were flexible, happy to adjust the plan based on what we were interested in seeing or not seeing.
The accommodations, jeep, and add-ons were well maintained and comfortable, and wifi was surprisingly available in a lot of remote locations. One note for future travellers, is that you are out in the wilderness and "roads" will be bumpy for long periods of time so be prepared if you're prone to motion sickness.
That being said, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are truly unforgettable places. We saw so many animals and even caught the great migration up close! Our guide Edward was always happy to answer our questions and made sure we got the most out of every sighting. He spent a lot of time checking in on us and never seemed tired despite the long drives. Big thanks to Robert and Silas as well for taking such good care of us throughout the trip.
Definitely would recommend RO Scavenger Safaris :)

Excellent organization
We all know that Safari's are expensive, therefore we expect good value for money, which we got from this tour operator. The communication with the operator before the safari was very efficient via e-mail and WhatApp. The organization of the safari was according to our plans, we were picked up and dropped off at the airport. We kept the driver and the car for the entire safari, which was very good. He was very friendly person and always was very concerned to fulfil our requests and needs. The provided car was already some years old and did the job, however showed already some wear. The locations concerning the safari itself and also the lodges were nicely selected and perfect for us, with one exception where the lodge was far too expensive for the service provided. This has also been reported to the organizer. We also appreciated very much that the organizer shared the cost of the lodges and also the park entrée fees with us, so there was a good understanding and transparency of the incurred cost. So overall an excellent experience and we fully can recommend this tour operator.
