Amazing first safari experience
While planning for the safary Mussa answered all my questions very patiently. Out guide Safe really knew his way into searching for lions and cool animals. He was very kind to try to show and teach us about every different animal and bird we encountered since it was our first safari adventure!
The jeep was so comfortable and having all that space for both of us was the best part.
The food was great, plenty and respectful with my dietary limitations, thank you Piuce!

An incredible 9 days safari tour with Mussa
I selected Roam Serengeti Safaris,following advices found in Safari Bookings.My first choice was to contact email Mussa RAJABU, the manager of this small company , before buying our 2 flight tickets. Mussa help me to choose the best period (26 sept- 5 oct better than 10-20 oct to see the migration in north serengeti), and to choose the program (2 days tarangire with 1 night camping in the park; 1day road from mto wa mbu after night jambo lodge to north serengeti with stop lake natron, night camping lobo, then 1 night tented camp near mara river to see wildbeests crossing, 2 nights camping seronera central serengeti, 1 night ngorongoro camping before going to crater, 1 night hotel lake eyasi to see very intersting local tribes hunting. After the trip I can tell that all Mussa's choices were the best.At the camp, evening time ,we spoke to other tourists and we saw so much more than others in 1 day ( in all trip we saw 89 lions, 11 leopards, 8 cheetahs , 3 rhinos , 1 wild dog, ..... ) Many details make difference: good tents, thick mattresses, clean sleeping bags, pilow, possible charging battery in the car without adaptor. Any time of the trip, Mussa did the best for us to enjoy, choose best position to take photos. It is probably the best choice if you go for safari with very reasonable prices, he pick up and leave us at airport. The 1st day afternoon , he showed us Arusha market for free, we also visit some markets on the way. For Serengeti especially, it is very important to plan the right program when you go because animals are every month at a different place following the wildbeest migration .Food was very good, the cook called Pius join us during the trip to set the tents, prepare good breakfast withe crepes, eggs, fruits, a lunch box, and a good dinner changing every day. Bottles of mineral water are included for all the tour

A delightful, breathtaking experience of the beauties and wildlife of the Tanzanian savannahs.
Mussa of Roam Serengeti Safaris was an excellent guide. His communication, as we set up the tour from the U.S., was accurate and timely. He was accommodating and flexible in arranging a truly custom and personal safari experience that met our tastes and budget. He got to know our interests and anticipated what we wanted to know and experience. All the details in our itinerary came about as planned. We saw every beauty and animal we had hoped to see, and more, including the wildebeest migration. Mussa was a very careful driver, most appreciated since we covered many miles on our 6-day safari. He began as our tour guide, but ended as our friend. Equally important, we were pleased to go on safari with a Tanzanian who owns and operates his own safari company. I would highly recommend Mussa and Roam Serengeti Safaris to anyone, especially those who would like to have a unique, custom safari experience at a reasonable cost.

Amazing safari experience
We did a 9 days safari with Mussa - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and some cultural activities. From the very first moment he got our interest and finally our hearts. He is a great guide, highly professional, with excellent English and a wide range of experience about wildlife and his country. The wildlife is impressive, we stopped counting at the 30th lions! Mussa knows exactly where to go to have the perfect view to the animals. One of the hightlight was watching a leopard hunt.
i like to remember the extraordinary accommodations, sitting on the balcony and looking at the setting sun.
If i come back in the Serengeti area I will definitely book with Mussa and Roam Serengeti Safari again! Mussa goes the extra mile to make our journey unforgettable.
Thank you Mussa for the outstanding experiences !

It was above all our expectations. Tailor-made program, commited guide, outstandig lodges selection.
Since the first e-mails, we got the impression that Mussa was really commited to find the best program for us and paid a lot attention to our needs and to the way we wanted to live our safari experience. We gave him our opinions on how we wanted to travel and how long we wanted to stay in each area according tou our interests and he provided well-informed advises on how to get the best of our trip.
We reallay felt like our trip was going to be according to our input and not the standard copy-pasted e-mail other companies sent us.
During the trip, we were guided by Lymo, a carefull and reliable driver and a seasoned guide with eagle-eyes. He was able to find us many great spots for animal-watching and was concerned with giving us the best angle to take pictures. He was always able to anser all our questions about the animals we met, gave us many information about local culture and Tanzania in general and was really respectful. We also saw him check on the content of the lunch boxes provided by the hotels to be sure they met our food restrictions!
All in all it was an amazing experience and we can only recomend the Roam Serengeti team to anyone!

Outstanding and beyond all expectations!
Planning a tour to unknown territories is sometimes a challenge, not after having found Roam Serengeti Safaris on safaribookings.com. Reasons to go with Roam Serengeti Safaris were the great reviews and the fact that it’s a small locally owned business. Since the first contact with Mussa it was a pleasure to plan this 9 days Safari for a group of four to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and including some cultural activities. In his communication he is patient, straightforward and quick in answering all queries and he managed easily new arrangements when accommodations were not available.
The tour itself was amazing. Apart of the perferct organisation and excellent accomodation it was Mussas' inspiring way to make the tour something special. We always felt comfortable and safe with him. He is very experienced, high professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Additionally he has a very pleasing way to explain and tell about wildlife and nature. He was always eager for locating the best position for us to take perfect pictures. He was passionate about making our wishes come true.
I highly recommend booking with Mussa, he definitely goes the extra mile to make your journey an outstanding and unforgettable experience.
Thank you Mussa for these nine BEST DAYS!!!

Best you can get
In a group of four with Mussa as our guide we had a nine days Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Included was a very interesting cultural program. Mussa answers each question per mail very fast and accomodating. He is very experienced and knows how to find the animals. On Safari he explains the country, the landscape and the animals. He knows so much about the landscape and the habits of the animals. Mussa finds a solution for every wish you have on tour. Food and accomodation is excellent. He cares for everything you need. If you will have an unforgettable Safari I recommend Roam Serengeti Safari and Mussa as guide.

9 awesome days filled with animals and culture
My bf and I were on Safari on July for 9 days (of actual safari, or 11 days if you count the arrival and leaving days). It included Tarangire, Serengeti (both north for the crossing and central) and Ngorongoro as well as getting in contact with some of the tribes that live in Tanzania and whose reality is so different from ours. It was a truly awesome and fulfilling experience.
We booked everything with Mussa. He was always very quick to respond (maximum 1 day) and was always very attentive to our needs both before and after we booked the Safari. He always promptly responded to all our questions and always did his best to ensure we had the best experience possible. When we got to Tanzania we found out he wasn't going to be our guide (he had hurt his back and so he couldn't be driving around) but he assigned Lyimo to be our safari guide. He assured us he would take good care of us and that was absolutely true.
Lyimo was a great driver and great guide. Always in a good mood, very knowledgeable and very thoughtful. We managed to see all the Ugly 5 up close and we only missed the Rhino from the Big 5 (to compensate we saw Leopards both on a tree and walking and we saw lions not farther than 1m from us, which was thrilling to say the least).
All the accommodations we got were great and the experience of sleeping in a tent knowing there's nothing separating you from the wild is something hard to describe.
A part of this trip (that was suggested by Mussa) and that we loved was also the culture part. We visited some tribes near Lake Manyara and near Lake Eyasi. We feared it would be just something too touristy (like a performance or something) but we found the people to be really truthful and really proud of their traditions. It was an honest and enriching opportunity.
While there we asked if there would be time to visit Olduvai Gorge (it wasn't scheduled) and Lyimo made it possible (and we loved it).
One of the things that made us decide to go with Roam (besides all the awesome reviews and the great quality-price relation) was the fact that this is a locally owned business so we knew we'd be bringing our money to Tanzanian families instead of giving it to European companies.
If you want to do a Safari in Tanzania, go with Roam and you'll have the time of your life.

Perfect safari experience
We've recently returned from a safari trip in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, a great experience and definitely a must do! The animals, the nature, the atmosphere, the overall feeling that you get by being in the middle of the wild is something really special! We have booked this trip on short notice, but Mussa organised everything perfectly, being extremely responsive and prompt in providing any information that we needed. We were very satisfied with the accommodation recommended by Mussa, offering nice rooms/tent, good food and nice people around. Because I've made it clear that I hated rats (which may be encountered in some of the camps), Mussa found a "safe" accommodation alternative for me, making sure that I will enjoy my staying there. Our guide and driver was Limo, a friendly and polite person to whom we immediately connected. He gave us a lot of information on the wild life as well as on the day-to-day way of living in Tanzania. We felt comfortable and safe on the game drivings and we really appreciated his knowledge and experience in guiding us through the safari adventure. We definitely recommend Roam Serengeti Safaris and we will contact them again for our next trip to Tanzania.
