I booked 6 days travel in his company. In order to full use of the traveling days. I choose to travel Lake Natron 1 day, Ndutu for two days and Serengeti for two days, Ngrongro 1 day. In the first, I have alot of confuse about how to plan my trip, because travel one person will high cost. RO could help me to meet my budget. I wonder whether go to Lake Natron to take beautiful photos of Flamingos, they help me to solve how to most close to this beautiful birds.
Silas reply emails very quickly, has good english and good communication. He is always help me to resolve whats concerns of me, such as umbrella, mosquto net, quiet room etc.That makes me decided to go with his company with no worry, and yes it's a good decision!
Fredy is my driver and Guide. He is not only a photographer but also a knowledgeable man familiar with a lot of animals. He has three books and he could tell all of birds and animals.So in these days,although I travel alone, He talk to me a lot of about interesting things about these animals, there habits, funny things. And every day he will make sure next day's details in advance to make the travel smooth. Hhe tried to make me to see more animals for six days. Even after heavy raining days, the road becomes very mud, he also decided to through the mud road with other cars for safe leading to interesting places in Serengeti,in there I saw several cats,Chetta. The road is very difficult, but they collaborate together and help each other, conqure the mud road in the end! That touching me a lot.
Every day I live in the tented lodge. The lodge have good meal and I feel I have fat a lot in these days. Everyday I can hear the animals sound such as lions, hyana out of the tented lodge. It's real natural.
Thanks for this team!

REVIEW FOR SEVEN-DAY SAFARI :
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 7-day luxury wilderness safari, an immersive adventure that took me through the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire National Park, Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Authority and experience Maasai cultural activities at western Kilimanjaro. From December 27th, 2023, to January 2nd, 2024, every moment of this safari was a testament to the unparalleled beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and ecosystems.
Our luxury accommodations throughout the safari were nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled seamlessly into the natural surroundings, each lodge and camp provided a perfect blend of comfort and proximity to nature. The attentive staff, exquisite cuisine, and thoughtfully designed lodgings added a touch of elegance to our wilderness experience.
The wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations. Tarangire's iconic baobab trees served as the backdrop for incredible encounters with elephants, while Manyara's diverse habitats showcased a stunning array of birdlife. Serengeti's vast plains delivered the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration, and the Ngorongoro Crater provided an intimate setting for observing an abundance of wildlife, including flamingoes, lions, and hippos.
Our safari guides were not just experts; they were passionate storytellers, sharing their deep knowledge of the ecosystem, animal behavior, and local culture. Their ability to spot elusive wildlife and provide insightful commentary enriched our safari experience, making each game drive a fascinating journey into the heart of Tanzania's wilderness.
The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, ensuring a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and exploration. From early morning game drives to sunset cocktails overlooking the savannah, every day offered a new adventure.
The safari's seamless organization allowed us to focus entirely on the experience. From airport transfers to the smallest details of the daily schedule, everything was meticulously planned, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable journey.
This 7-day luxury wilderness safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that surpassed all expectations. The combination of opulent accommodations, unparalleled wildlife encounters, knowledgeable guides, and a meticulously planned itinerary made it a journey into the heart of wild elegance. For anyone seeking a transformative safari experience, this adventure is not to be missed.

Dedicated and professional
We went on a 4s3n safari and we had an excellent time! Big shout out to our safari guide Edward who went above and beyond to ensure we have the best safari experience. Edward is very experienced and was able to tell us a lot about the animals, their characteristics etc. He’s also very attentive to details and would check in with us often while in the jeep (whilst driving and looking for animals too!).
Would also love to thank Robert and Silas for being so organised and thoughtful, and were always patient with my pre-safari queries. They made sure our tour was customised to what we’re most comfortable with (eg we wanted to opt out maasai boma from the itinerary very last minute and that was perfectly fine for them too).
Would highly recommend RO Scavenger Safaris - they’re a young company but they’re really doing their best to deliver quality service. Really appreciate the effort!

Excellent organization
We all know that Safari's are expensive, therefore we expect good value for money, which we got from this tour operator. The communication with the operator before the safari was very efficient via e-mail and WhatApp. The organization of the safari was according to our plans, we were picked up and dropped off at the airport. We kept the driver and the car for the entire safari, which was very good. He was very friendly person and always was very concerned to fulfil our requests and needs. The provided car was already some years old and did the job, however showed already some wear. The locations concerning the safari itself and also the lodges were nicely selected and perfect for us, with one exception where the lodge was far too expensive for the service provided. This has also been reported to the organizer. We also appreciated very much that the organizer shared the cost of the lodges and also the park entrée fees with us, so there was a good understanding and transparency of the incurred cost. So overall an excellent experience and we fully can recommend this tour operator.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had our 4D3N safari with RO Scavenger Safaris in early March, and it was fantastic. The safari was truly a bucket list experience and the team was professional, easy to reach, and really made sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. They were flexible, happy to adjust the plan based on what we were interested in seeing or not seeing.
The accommodations, jeep, and add-ons were well maintained and comfortable, and wifi was surprisingly available in a lot of remote locations. One note for future travellers, is that you are out in the wilderness and "roads" will be bumpy for long periods of time so be prepared if you're prone to motion sickness.
That being said, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are truly unforgettable places. We saw so many animals and even caught the great migration up close! Our guide Edward was always happy to answer our questions and made sure we got the most out of every sighting. He spent a lot of time checking in on us and never seemed tired despite the long drives. Big thanks to Robert and Silas as well for taking such good care of us throughout the trip.
Definitely would recommend RO Scavenger Safaris :)

Excellent and Accommodating
If you’ve decided to travel to Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar then I don’t know how you could possibly leave without a safari in the world’s most recognizable (and justifiably so) parks like the Ngorongoro Crater or the Serengeti.
After you’re set on a safari, you’ll go on your own safari to pick one guide service in a dizzying field of operators. Personally, I think it’s important to choose a local operator and if you’re like me then I am delighted to recommend Robert, Silas and Elia with Tanzania’s own RO Scavenger.
RO Scavenger is made up of an experienced team who my wife and I will always remember for the exceptional, tailored experience they provided for our honeymoon in February and March 2024.
Robert and Silas were incredibly professional and accommodating as they provided timely responses to all inquiries and arranged a seamless pickup to drop-off experience. They really wow’d my wife and I at each possible occasion with flourishes for our honeymoon at many accommodations and a wonderful gift we will cherish forever upon departure. I greatly appreciated the detail they put into our customized itinerary.
Of course a safari is nothing without its guide and driver. Our guide and driver was the multi-talented, universally respected Elia. Elia had worked with several of the other operators we encountered during our safari and had clearly built relationships with several other guides we met. These relationships helped us spot all of the Big 5 and it was also a highlight for us to see Elia help other guides whose vehicles had broken down. Initially, I was surprised by how young Elia was to single-handedly lead us for a 7-day safari, but he proved to be more than capable as a guide, driver, and mechanic!
On safari, you’ll notice most travelers are following a similar itinerary, in a similar vehicle, with the same spots for lunch. In conversations with other tourists you’ll marvel at what you saw and you’ll typically be able to say you saw the exact same things. The difference in experience and therefore quality for my wife and I came from the added touches RO Scavenger provided us related to the accommodations. We booked rather close to our start date, but with a small window, RO Scavenger were able to secure some unique and varying retreats, resorts, tents and lodges that kept each night special. We loved the experience of staying in a traveling tent that moved with the migration of the wildebeest, but we also enjoyed the drinks by the pool resort, and the boutique retreat houses.
I believe we received the best value and best Tanzanian safari experience possible with RO Scavenger! Without hesitation I’d recommend this team.
