The best way to Safari in Serengeti is with Musa.
5/5

Musa is well organised, very kind, friendly, trustworthy, in short - amazing and a true gentleman.
He has extensive knowledge about the flora and fauna and that makes the safari so much more interesting.

We decided on a last minute safari trip to Tanzania and did not have a massive 'private safari budget'. The big safari companies were offering us bus and van group tours for the budget. Having a bit of safari experience, my first preference will always be private safaris. So i kept researching and that is when I stumbled upon Roam Serengeti Safari.

We contacted Musa with a long list of demands including staying inside the reserve on a budget, and a private 5-6 day tour.
He actually customised the tour and made it possible, down to the last detail in literally 2 days.

It was actually a too good to be true moment and we could not believe how lucky we got until the trip actually began.

Every trip we take from now on to Tanzania or Kenya for a safari will only be with Musa and Roam Serengeti Safaris. Why look elsewhere when you already have the best.

Roam Serengeti is the best
5/5

Mussa is fantastic, I can't emphasize this point enough. His knowledge of most every aspect of the environments through which his safaris travel is truly vast, but what sets him apart is his attention to the little details which arise, both within and beyond the safari's boundaries. As I planned our holiday, he assisted me in various ways not directly related to our safari; his help was given without hesitation, his advice was always well conceived, and I know our experience was far better for it. Leading up to our arrival, communication was available both via WhatsApp (with a bit of preplanning) and email, and his willingness to open various channels for communication, as well as his straightforward manner, soon dispelled some concerns which had arisen while attempting to correspond with other, less forthright operators. We camped in the Serengeti, which I highly recommend, not least for the addition to our small party of Puce (sp?), a camp chef of rare abilities; his fish curry was perhaps the best dish of our entire time in Tanzania. The cultural activities are recommended, but if you want to experience a true hunt you must be prepared for a full day which begins before daybreak. Later departures will be more of a hike which roam less far from the Hadzabe village (still well worth it, but far less likely to result in much beyond perhaps a bird). I can hardly believe, having begun the long process of sorting photos, what an extraordinary whirlwind of distinctive moments our short time with Mussa offered. Thank you, Mussa, more than I could ever convey.

International adventure!
5/5

Mussa, from day 1, was very responsive and accommodating! He’s responsibly priced and very trust worthy. I told him what type of experience We’d like and he gave us exactly that!! For those considering a safari should choose Roam Serengeti Safaris! As some general information Mussa owns the company, as well as, attends on safari when he can. Know that he may use a different guide other than himself. One of our guides Isaack was so wonderful and fun and very Knowledgeable! Ask for Isaack when you book! Also our chef, Paul was fantastic and entertaining and of course gave us great food! The zucchini soup was my favorite! I went with my friend and we were two females traveling together in Tanzania; Mussa and his company made us feel safe and well taken care of the entire trip! I’ll definitely be back to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with Mussa, Isaack, and Paul with Roam Serengeti Safaris!

Fantastic, knowledgeable and amazing experience!
5/5

I met Mussa after doing a one week safari in the Serengeti and surrounding area. The experience was truly amazing! But Mussa made it all the better. He knew the ins and outs of the area, was so caring of the environment and the animals and was extremely knowledgeable about the park, the land and everything in between. We could not have asked for a better guide to share this experience. He helped negotiate prices for local goods and visits to the Masai. He was always concerned for our safety and wanted to ensure we had the best experience possible. I will absolutely do another safari with Mussa and Roam Serengeti Safaris!!

Our guide, Mussa was very knowledgeable about all the animals and gave us a great tour!
5/5

Our guide, Mussa welcomed us upon arrival, listened to our requests, and customized the tour for us- he was absolutely wonderful. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the animals, and he shared that knowledge with us. What struck me most is what a conservationist he is- he has so much respect for the land and the wild things in it. I trusted Mussa from early on and felt very safe with him- he knew how close we could get while staying safe and respecting the animals. This company did not disappoint, and when i go back for safari again with my son, I will use this same company.

Don’t hesitate - book with the best!!!
5/5

We had the most amazing private safari experience with Roam Serengeti Safaris! Mussa put together a wonderful 8 day safari program for us and we enjoyed plentiful animal viewings in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw the big 5, the wildebeest migration, and, at our request, Mussa even helped arrange a great hot air balloon ride for us. The accommodations were beyond expectations - gorgeous locations / views, the warmest hospitality, and even great food. The entire trip was MAGICAL! And all thanks to the immense knowledge and caring that Mussa and our incredible guide Ole put into the business. They truly care about their guests, and it shows. We learned so much about the land, animals, culture, history… and left with new friends.

Many people hesitate to book with a small company like this - we get it, it’s a big investment of our time and money, you want to trust your choice - and often choose the large, well-known companies, but I can’t urge you enough to trust in booking with Roam Serengeti Safaris. You won’t regret it. As two women traveling, we felt so safe and cared for, and never had a worry. The value for your money versus the large companies is without compare too - you get SO much more here - plus you are investing locally in the gorgeous country of Tanzania. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

an excellent choice with Mussa
5/5

in 2019 with my wife we visited during 1 week the parks of tarangire (2days) serengeti (4days) and ngorongoro (1day) and also the tribes near lake Eyasi. Mussa the owner of Roamserengeti safaris was our driver and guide.this experience was so fantastic if I compare with other african countries visited that I decide to come back with my 2 sons (adults) 1 more time
I contact Mussa again and we planned this trip for 9 days in sept-oct 2023 (3 days Tarangire, 2 days north Serengeti, we entered Serengeti at Klein's gate in the north after visiting lake Natron, 3 days central Serengeti and 1 day Ngorongoro crater
We decide as 4 years ago to sleep in tents in public campsites excepted 1 night in self contained tent near Mara river
With Mussa was a very good cook who prepared 3 meals per day for us and set tents.we took breakfast very early and dinner in the campsite and lunch in a picnic area in the parc, tents were big with good and thick matresses,we could charge batteries in the car.We saw from 6AM to 6 PM so many animals, especially big cats
Mussa with his experience put his car in the best position to take pictures and anytime took the best decision for everything
I defintively recommand Mussa for an experience in the tanzanian Parcs,he drives also very well and adapt himself to what you want to see. We discuss together in english.

A life changing trip!
5/5

Mussa was the guide recommended by other military families in my husband's US Navy unit during his year-long deployment to Djibouti to serve on a task force in 2007. The spouses in the unit would fly to Tanzania to meet their husbands on leave and go on safari. Mussa became the guide that all the military couples wanted to use because he was totally trustworthy, reliable, professional, and extremely knowledgable.

We met Mussa at the Kilimanjaro airport and our adventure began! For a week, he was our personal guide for amazing overnights at Whistling Thorn tented camp, luxury coffee plantations, Taringare,Ngorogoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Mussa was so skilled at finding the best sights and relaying his knowledge of the animals, terrain, and culture.

My husband and I knew we would come back to Tanzania one day, but only if Mussa would be our guide. He is a good man with a beautiful family and we have remained friends. Don't risk not knowing who your guide will be. Hire Mussa and have peace of mind that you will have an amazing trip with honest pricing.
