We love MICHAEL!! So articulate, polite and gave us so much history and insight.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael as our guide on our African safari with Gosheni, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met him, Michael made us feel safe, welcomed, and excited for the journey ahead. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and local culture brought every game drive to life — whether it was tracking the Big Five or teaching us about the migration patterns, he always had insightful stories and facts to share.
Beyond his expertise, what truly stood out was his kindness, patience, and passion for what he does. He made sure every detail was taken care of, always had a smile on his face, and treated us like family. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable sightings, including a cheetah hunt, a lion pride at sunset, and even a rare black rhino. It was magical.
Michael is truly the heart of what made our safari so special. If you’re lucky enough to be paired with him, you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Harry was exceptional, he knew all of the best spots and was so knowledgeable about the animals!
I had the time of my life!!!! Please book with Ro Scavenger Safaris!!!
This was mine and my family’s first experience in Africa and the Ro Scavenger team went so above and beyond to make sure every piece of the trip was perfect. They helped in every single detail we wanted to tweak and change during the planning process and we’re on the ball from Day 1. Joshua and Silas were great company and helped manage half of our parties flight delay, still managing to get us all to enjoy every activity we planned and keeping me entertained with a waterfall hike in the meantime. Then Harry, our guide, was immaculate. He answered every question we had about the culture, the animals, the plants, history, and everything in between. We were always one of the first on scene and even got to see all of The Big 5 in our first 4 days of being there!! I couldn’t speak more highly of this company and the experience we had!!!!!

Well organized and always reachable for questions
We had the most incredible two-day safari experience, and it was made absolutely perfect by our amazing guide, Victor. From the moment we were picked up at the hotel, everything was seamless and well-organized. Victor welcomed us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead.
Our first stop was Tarangire National Park, where Victor gave us a special welcome and introduced us to the landscape and its unique wildlife. His knowledge is simply extraordinary—he knew everything about every animal we encountered, from elephants and lions to even small birds. He didn’t just list facts; he told fascinating stories, explained behaviors, and made every sighting feel meaningful.
After an exciting day, we stayed overnight at Eileen’s Trees Inn, a charming lodge surrounded by nature. It was quite cold at night, but the atmosphere and setting were beautiful, and the staff made sure we were comfortable.
On the second day, we explored the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Again, Victor welcomed us with insights about the crater’s formation and the unique ecosystem inside. Every moment with him felt like a lesson from a true expert who genuinely loves what he does.
At the end of our journey, we were brought back to the hotel, feeling enriched, inspired, and deeply grateful. Victor’s professionalism, passion, and kindness turned a great safari into an unforgettable one. If you’re planning a safari, we couldn’t recommend this tour—and especially Victor—highly enough!

Unforgettable Experience with the Best Guide in Africa – Michael
Our trip to the Serengeti was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to our incredible guide, Michael from Goneshi Safaris. From the moment we met him at the Tanzania border, it was clear we were in the best hands. Michael has went above and beyond in every possible way – his attention to detail, deep knowledge of the land and wildlife, and genuine care for our experience made all the difference.
He is attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly sharp – always anticipating what we needed before we even asked. Whether it was spotting elusive animals, such as a Cheetah feeding on a Thompson Gazelle, or making sure we were comfortable, or sharing fascinating insights about the Serengeti, Michael consistently exceeded our expectations.
It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about what they do. Thanks to Michael, we didn’t just see the Serengeti – we felt it. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and we owe so much of that to him.
If you’re planning a safari, ask for Michael. There is no other. You will be in the most capable, caring, and knowledgeable hands.

Michael is the best tour guide.
Traveling is always an exciting adventure, but what makes it truly unforgettable is having an amazing tour guide. On my recent trip, I was lucky enough to meet Michael, whose professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made the journey absolutely fantastic.
First of all, Michael was incredibly knowledgeable. He knew every detail about the places we visited—historical facts, cultural traditions, and even the best local spots for food. His storytelling skills brought each location to life, making the tour not just informative but also engaging and fun.
What impressed me the most was his passion for his job. Michael didn’t just recite facts; he truly cared about giving us the best experience possible. He was always patient, answering all our questions with a smile and making sure everyone felt included. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it made the whole group excited to explore.
Moreover, Michael was extremely organized and considerate. He managed the schedule perfectly, ensuring we had enough time at each attraction without feeling rushed. He also paid attention to small details, like reminding us to stay hydrated and helping those who needed extra assistance.
Thanks to Michael, my trip was more than just sightseeing—it was a memorable adventure filled with laughter, learning, and new friendships. He wasn’t just a tour guide; he was the heart of our journey. If you ever have the chance to travel with Michael, don’t hesitate—he’s simply the best!

Great first safari experience!
Our first safari experience was with Fika Safaris. Great organization that listens well to your wishes. We discussed our wishes in advance with a live meeting via Teams. Robert and Ester provide great personal guidance. We had a great experience, beautiful lodges, good food and saw a lot of wildlife. Our guide David is a great spotter, safe driver and has a great sense of humor. The car was well set up to get the most out of photography.
We will definitely go on safari with Fika Safaris again, it was amazing!

Tanzania Safari: A Journey Into the Heart of the Wild
Just returning from what can only be described as a life-changing safari adventure in Tanzania, and I’m still trying to process the sheer beauty, rawness, and magic of it all.
From the moment we landed, everything felt surreal. The city of Arusha, the driving style, the endless golden plains of the Serengeti, the majestic silhouettes of baobab trees, the soulful rhythm of Maasai songs at sunset at Tortilis Hotel — every second felt like a postcard from a world untouched.
We witnessed the Great Migration in motion: thousands of wildebeests and zebras thundering across the plains, elephants, jirafes, accompanied by stalking lions and lurking crocodiles. The tension. The wonder. The perfect chaos of nature at its peak.
Highlights:
• Ngorongoro Crater: Like a lost world. Lions, rhinos, elephants, all in one sweeping view — a true Eden.
• Tarangire National Park: The elephants here were incredible. So many, so close.
• Lake Manyara: Flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and that golden African light reflecting on the water.
• And of course… those sunrises and sunsets — the sky ablaze in hues I never imagined.
But what made this trip unforgettable was the people: our guide Roshi from Easytravel, with his deep knowledge and sharp eyes; the warm smiles of the locals; the quiet moments under the sky and the immense landscapes.
Tanzania has given me memories I’ll carry forever — not just photos, but feelings: awe, humility, and gratitude.
If you’re dreaming of a real adventure, soul-stirring landscapes, and moments that make you feel fully alive, Tanzania is calling. And trust me — the wild is waiting.

Big Five and More!
We had high expectations and Kubwa Five exceeded them all! We had them plan the entire itinerary, since we’d never been to Africa before. They selected the lodges, guides, and which parks we would see- all were fantastic! We saw many animals, even some that surprised our guides (caracol cat and a Pels fishing owl) In Botswana we did land and water tours in the Okavango Delta, Khwai and Chobe River. In Tanzania, we spent time in Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. All the lodges were great, food was delicious and plentiful, but the guides made it spectacular. Their knowledge of the locales and animal behaviors were key to seeing the wide variety that we did. Kubwa kept in touch with us during the trip making sure everything went well and keeping us informed of any changes. We are heading back again next year and will definitely use Kubwa Five again.
