Richard was the absolute best and we could have not asked for a better Safari experience.
Life-changing. Unforgettable. I simply can't say enough.
My wife and I chose to fulfill a lifelong dream of going on an African Safari for our honeymoon and all our expectations and hopes were not only met but far exceeded. We originally had looked into using a Western tour company, however were advised by friends to work with locals as to better support the domestic economy- and we were so happy with our decision.
From the moment we began booking- the process was easy, informative, and very secure. We were guided towards a tour, region and amount of time that best suited our interests and budget, and were provided a level of familiarity with the country that the non-Tanzanian companies we spoke to simply did not have.
Then when we finally arrived- that's where the fun really began. We could not have asked for a better time in Tanzania, and it was all due to the wonderful and thoughtful hard work put in by our guide Richard. He took great care of us from the moment we met, and made sure that our every need, wish and interest were addressed. Richard is so clearly passionate about wildlife and what he does- and because of his expertise and knowledge we were able to see all of the Big 5, the Great Migration Wildebeest crossing across the Mara river, as well as tons of other animals moving about in their natural habitat.
Richard always seemed to know exactly where to go, and could answer any question we had both about the animals as well as the local culture. Furthermore he made sure we were comfortable and happy as we celebrated our honeymoon- and most importantly he was personable, friendly and deeply kind. In the end, we felt that not only did we experience an unforgettable vacation, but that we also left with a dear new friend.
So thank you so much Richard for one of the most incredible trips of our lives!
If anyone is considering a Tanzanian Safari- Richard is the one!

A Safari Experience You Can Trust
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania and want an experience that is ethical, safe, and truly unforgettable, I cannot recommend Tanzania Memories and its founder, Richard Moshi, highly enough. If I could add more stars I would! Absolutely the best trip of my life so far.
I travelled through Tanzania in August 2022, and Richard was our guide throughout Tarangire, the Central and Northern Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The trip was extraordinary — not just because of the wildlife, but because of the way Richard guided us through it.
Richard has an exceptional ability to read the land, the animals, and the moment. He consistently spotted wildlife long before anyone else — lions hidden in kopjes, leopards draped over branches, cheetahs stalking in the grass, and even tiny creatures like dik-diks and hyraxes. His knowledge of animal behaviour meant we were always in the right place at the right time, whether it was watching a pride of 16 lions feeding on a Cape Buffalo, witnessing a lioness take down a gazelle, or experiencing the Wildebeest Migration at the Mara River with multiple dramatic crossings.
What sets Richard apart is his integrity. At the Mara River, where dozens of safari trucks surged forward the moment the first wildebeest stepped into the water, Richard refused to break park rules or cut others off. He navigated the chaos with calm professionalism, ensuring we had a front‑row view without compromising safety or ethics. His respect for wildlife and the environment is unwavering, and that respect is reflected in the values of Tanzania Memories.
But the moment that truly showed me who Richard is — not just as a guide, but as a person — happened far from the Serengeti. We stayed at The Original Maasai Lodge, a community‑run lodge near Mount Kilimanjaro. By sheer luck, we arrived on the first day of a once‑every‑14‑years Maasai ceremony — a rite of passage so rare that even many Maasai women had never witnessed it. Richard had never seen it either. Watching him experience this extraordinary cultural moment alongside us — asking questions, learning, smiling, and sharing in the awe — added a depth to our trip that I will never forget.
He wasn’t just our guide that day.
He was our companion in a moment of pure, unexpected magic.
Richard is also simply a wonderful person. He made us feel safe, welcomed, and cared for every single day. His kindness and humour added so much joy to the experience. We’ve stayed in touch ever since — a testament to the kind of relationships he builds with his guests.
If you are travelling from Canada (or anywhere in the world) and want a safari experience that is personal, meaningful, and guided by someone you can trust completely, book with Tanzania Memories and ask for Richard Moshi. He is the heart of the company, and he will give you a safari you will remember for the rest of your life.
