A wondrous adventure with memories that will last a lifetime
From our first emails with Naomi at African Big Cats Safaris until we were farewelled by our incredible guide Lardgad, seven days later, we were embraced by the care, kindness and immense competency of this tour operator.
On touchdown at Kilimanjaro International airport we were met and guided around Arusha by ‘ Mr Big’ from African Big Safaris. Our first visit to Africa was exciting but also a little challenging in a culture and city that we were unfamiliar with. ‘Mr Big’ looked after us brilliantly, guiding and protecting us as we explored facets of this bustling metropolis before checking us in at the Gran Melia Hotel - a luxurious quality establishment
The following morning we met Lardgad and his safari jeep, our companions for the next few days exploring. It is almost impossible to adequately praise this man. His skill as a guide, his knowledge of the animals, his intelligent banter and his obvious pride and love of his country shone through. We were very privileged to have him as our mentor on safari.
Our safari encompassed elephant and giraffe families in the surprisingly dense Tarangire National Park; zebra, baboons, gazelle and beautiful birds at Lake Manyara National Park and lions, rhinoceros, Cape buffalo and many different birds in the idyllic Ngorongoro Crater. However for us the jewel in the crown, Tanzania’s gift to the world, is the Serengeti National Park. This vast lush savannah truly embodies the concept of safari. Basking hippos and crocodiles, majestic giraffes gracefully strolling, lions, leopards, hyenas and the huge Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, are awe inspiring
African Big Cats Safaris partner with very high quality lodges, hotels and hot air balloon operators. They complement each other very well to round out a complete experience.
Safari is not for the delicate or faint hearted. It is, however, an absolutely unique experience that will suit most travellers. African Big Cat Safaris curate a very special boutique personal expedition. They set out to deliver a safari but instead they gave us a wondrous adventure with memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you Lardgad, Naomi, ‘Mr Big’, Emmanuel and all the team at African Big Cats Safaris. You are ‘ Simply the Best’.

Incredible Bucket List Trip to Africa !
We had a fantastic trip working with our tour agent Anya Jarvis at Pembury Tours this June! Our two week trip was a wonderful mix of experiences in Capetown, the Cape Peninsula, Sabi Sands, Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park in Botswana and Johannesburg. Anya planned a very well organized, smooth and safe trip for us and set us up with fantastic guides. She was very available to us for any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Anya. We can't wait to plan a return trip to Africa with her help!

Best Tour Company in Arusha
Truly RO Scavenger Safaris was the best company ever. We were connected by my mother who resides in Arusha Tanzania 🇹🇿 while we were here in the States. Silas, the manager reached out to me. The back and forth communication was clear and effective. My husband and I were impressed with the itinerary. We did a 3 day Safari, Ngorongoro crater day trip and two days were spent in Serengeti.
Our driver did an amazing job spotting the animals. He made sure we were satisfied before moving on.
The food was delicious! We were lucky to be served hot meals. Accommodation was wonderful. Moyo Tented Camp had the best luxury tents. The food was delicious and the crew were the sweetest.
RO Scavenger Safaris Tour made our Safari experience easy, fun, luxury and memorable. This was a family get together trip. RO Scavenger Safari Tour became part of our family too.
Thank you RO Scavenger Safaris for the amazing trip and thank you for the thank you gifts at the end of our trip. See you soon!

Professional
The accommodations are great，the service is excellent.
It's a shame that the season is not right, so we didn't see many animals.
But it was still a very enjoyable trip，hope to have a chance more again.

Moses is the best guide ever! We saw all the big five, and were so close to them! Best trip ever!
We really like Moses, he is so professional and knows so well about the animals! The trip is sooooooo amazing, and the big five were so close to us, no more than two meters! We also see the wildebeests cross the river! Choosing Moses is choosing the best safari trip! I will recommend him to everyone who wants a safari!

Fantastic family safari
We are a family of 4 including a 6 year old. We missed our connection flight, so had to start the safari 2 days late. Daudi rescheduled the whole 6 days overnight, so we could still do everything we wanted to.
I can't praise Daudi and our driver Michael highly enough. Michael was absolutely accommodating with our 6 year old, and was able to find animals and roads within Serengeti with ease.
Amazing experience only made better by Meijo Safaris.

Good experience for solo traveler
The accommodations were great. The safaris were good. I joined a shared safari as a solo traveler. There were several other safari guests that all had different travel agencies and were staying at different lodges. Inherently there was a lot of downtime while we were waiting on others or picking up/dropping off others. The driver/guide did the best he could while navigating a somewhat chaotic schedule and managing all 7 safari guests. Overall I recommend African Chitah and it’s great to have a shared safari option accessible for a solo traveler.

Very nice and prepared tour operator, we were very satisfied with him
The experience with Kilimanjaro Sky was excellent. We were a group of 8 people from Italy and we had a great experience thanks to the guide, the cook and the all team. The safari was stunning (Serengeti, ngoro ngoro and Tarangire) and all the services were perfect (driving, cooking, camping etc). Thanks to Kilimanjaro sky we had a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to come back. VERY SUGGESTED

Great experience with an excellent guide!
Justice was our guide on our honeymoon trip through the wilderness of Botswana. We had a great safari rich in experiences. Justice had a lot to tell about the animals and behaved respectfully towards nature. He and the team were always attentive to our well-being. I can fully recommend!
