Excellent Adventure & Great Value
I received 3 competitive quotes via Safaribookings.com and after careful review I selected RO Scavengers. I chose them based on the selected itinerary and the quality of the camps that were featured and competitive pricing offered. Correspondence via e-mail was easy, and despite the time difference, all responses were very timely.
This trip was perfect for my grandson and I to enjoy unforgettable wildlife experiences. He is 15 and it was his first big trip out of the country and wow did it open his eyes to the world. His favorite animal is the Lion and we saw plenty. The itinerary was laid out carefully, such that each day got better and better. Day 1 at Tarangire we saw a Leopard and tons of other wildlife (elephants, giraffe, monkeys, etc.) Day 2 at Lake Manyara we saw more monkeys, Elephants up close, flamingos, plenty of other animals and beautiful scenery. Day 3 was primarily a transfer day but we got into Serengeti NP late in the afternoon and saw a few female lionesses with a cub perched upon a rock. Things really picked up on Day 4 in Serengeti where we saw Cheetahs, Lions, Hippos, and so much more. Day 5 was the absolute highlight in Ngorongora Crater, 5 minutes into our drive we saw 3 Rhinos! A few minutes later 3 large Male lions! We were up close and personal with everything include Ostrich, Zebra, Wildebeest, and so much more.
My wife and I had previously gone on a luxury safari in South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, so I was a little uncertain how I would enjoy going with this more modestly priced mid-range safari. I was pleasantly surprised! On our previous experience we were shuffled from camp to camp by transfer drivers, at each camp put on shared game drive vehicles with 2-3 other couples. On this safari it was a private experience with the same Land Cruiser and Driver/Guide for the full 5 days. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and caring. Each camp was excellent, with good food and various amenities. 2 of our camps had swimming pools and monkeys running around. Another camp offered a sundowner cocktail hour and had zebras in the camp. We even got massages at one camp! All camps had power and WiFi. That was luxury enough for us!

An Exceptional Safari Guide — Edward Made Our Tanzania Journey Unforgettable
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.
Well worth
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.

It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile journey.
The travel plan of Ro scavenger is very reasonable and relaxed, and the accommodation and food are very good. Our guide Edward was very enthusiastic, picked us up at the airport in the early morning, introduce the details of the trip in advance and African culture. During the process, he showed his professionalism and accurate judgment as a Safari guide, and did not let us miss any wonderful scenes of the nature. He is very meticulous, caring about everyone's body and emotions, and he arranged the timing excellent. Looking forward to having another chance to return to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro...

Professional, passionate and really love nature
Thanks to Silas, our schedule was changed for 4-5 times and we finally get this amazing trip and memory here in Tanzania.
We felt nervous when we were about to reach this land, especially our flight landed at 4AM in the morning. But our guide Edward was waiting there for us. I highly recommend our guide Edward to everyone. He is very professional, passionate and enjoy this work a lot. Every day Edward cleaned his baby jeep very carefully to welcome us. He observed and kept communicating with other Safari guides all the time to make sure that we can always see those amazing animals during the trip. From our talk, I can see how deeply he loves this land and all the wild animals. Not only animals, he also introduced many histories and culture of this country. We learnt a lot from this journey.
Because of their profession and hard work here, I start to love this land and can't wait to come back again in a few years!
