Excellent service, unforgettable experience
We had an excellent experience with Roam Serengeti Safaris, Mussa is a very professional guide, with deep knowledge of the area and with a true interest in providing the best service for his clients. We initially chose Roam because they had the better value for money offer. Mussa helped as organize the trip giving us a lot of alternatives and discussing our schedule with us. He was not as fast in replying as other operators but this is to be expected as he is often on safari and this did not bother us nor created any problems at organizing our trip.
We spent 5 days in Tarangire-Serengeti-Ngorongoro were Mussa restlessly drove us around to make sure we get the best pictures of all animals and we have time to enjoy the parks. He accommodated all our wishes and was very flexible in the daily schedule. Even when we had a problem with our car he almost immediately put us in another car to take us back to our lodge and had another car for us the next morning. He is also a very pleasant person to chat and learn about the animals and life in Tanzania.
We would definitely recommend Roam and Mussa for an unforgettable experience.

Can't recommend enough!
Our safari trip was just as we planned. Our guide and driver, Mussa, is someone you can really trust: he was always there at the right time, solved all the problems that came in our way and even sent us emails with the photos he took during our trip. We communicated by e-mail for a long time before our trip to Tanzania, and he was patient enough to answer all my questions (again and again). He didn't ask for any payment before our first day of safari, and we were very thankful for that, since bank transfers are always an expensive, complicated and troublesome process - at least for us Brazilians. We visited Tarangire and Ngorongoro and were able to see lions in both parks, and also elephants, rhinos, even wildebeest giving birth. Mussa worked hard to make sure we could see the greatest amount of animals possible. He also helped us find our AirBNB place when we got to Arusha, which was far away from the city center. We highly recommend Mussa and Roam Serengeti.

The incredibly beautiful Ngorongoro
We went to Tanzania earlier this June for Ngorongoro crater and were blown away by its beautiful landscapes and wildlife. The conservation area contains rich culture, history and wilderness that you won't want to miss. Roam Serengeti was a fantastic choice for us and Musa, our guide, was very informative and hospitable; we had a wonderful time getting to know the land, the history, and it's natural habitat.

9 days incredible Safari trip
Me and my husband booked this trip a while ago as our honeymoon trip. When we arrived we realised that Mussa couldn't joined us for the Safari, so he invited Lyimo to be our guide instead. Lyimo is amazing for knowing so much about the animals, always make sure we make the most out of our trip and most importantly he is a very good/safe driver. Also the lodges that Mussa put us in are all pretty good too. I reckon a safaris trip in Tanzania is a must do and you are in good hands should you decided to go with Roam Serengeti Safaris!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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 !
