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!

A highly professional, passionate and efficient team.
Our contact person Silas was very patient and helpful. We changed our itinerary 6 times, and he always replied within 2 hours even with the time difference. He tried his best to meet all our requests.
The food really touched us. I was worried about cold lunchboxes, but they gave us hot meals every day—rice, vegetables, soup. It made a huge difference for our Chinese stomachs. We arrived at 4 am and left at 2 am, and they picked us up and dropped us off on time, never making us wait. We also decided to go to a Maasai market, a coffee shop, and even KFC at the last minute, and they drove us there without any hesitation. The service was excellent.
About our guide Edward:
He was amazing. By the last few days we were exhausted, but every morning Edward greeted us with 100% energy and a big smile—it really brightened our day. He doesn't speak much Chinese, but he always kept a wildlife book in the car. Whenever we saw an uncommon animal, he would quickly find the page and show us. He remembered every small thing we mentioned and tried to make it happen.
During drives, he also told us a lot about Tanzania—animals, tribes, food, beliefs. He made us feel like we were not just seeing wildlife, but really getting to know the country. We highly recommend him!

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Shout out to Edward and the whole team for giving us the best safari experience we could have asked for! Edward was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, patient, genuinely kind, and always happy to answer our questions. His ability to read animal behavior and spot wildlife from unbelievably far away is amazing. he definitely has eagle eyes! One of our most unforgettable moments was when he spotted cheetahs before any other vehicles, giving us the chance to enjoy the sighting peacefully before the crowds arrived. He also went above and beyond with the little details, cleaning the safari vehicle every day so each morning felt like a fresh start. You can tell he truly loves what he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge. A big thank you to Silas as well, who was so kind, patient, and incredibly helpful—especially when we made changes after confirmation, he was quick to help and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend Edward and RO Scavenger Safaris for an unforgettable safari experience!
