Excellent service and committed staff
I’m writing this while on a wind down stay in Zanzibar after a fantastic seven night Tanzanian safari arranged and organised by RO Scavenger Safari.
We had some reservations at first because at the time we booked (May 2024) they had very few reviews online but from our first contact they were very responsive to every question and request we had, Silas was our main point of contact and he never seemed to sleep! Any message was replied to within the hour day or night, and after several days of back and forth with choices of location and budget we had an itinerary we were happy with and as the cherry on the cake all at a competitive price.
We flew into Nairobi and drove to the border where we met our guide and driver for the week Edward who proved to be the perfect man for the job, patient, good humoured, informative and able to position our vehicle perfectly taking all conditions into account and being sensitive to the wildlife. As well as all the usual big game he picked out smaller and more unusual animals such as a python in tree, caracal and abundant bird life.
All our accommodations were as described, the choice of tented camps were perfect with Moyo camp in central Serengeti being a favourite.
Food and drinks while on safari were good and plentiful and I don’t think we could ask for more.
Top tips from us are, don’t underestimate distances as the roads can be “challenging “, pick two or three locations to base yourself at depending on season rather than a different location every night as the travelling can be tiring, do try tented camps, they were extremely comfortable (flushing toilets and hot showers in the middle of the bush) and sitting around a campfire and hearing wild animals outside your tent are things not to be missed.
We were extremely pleased with RO Scavenger, they are a small team who really care about their clients and are preparing to go the extra distance to make sure that you get the best experience and we recommend them without hesitation. Asante san Robert, Silas, Edward and the team.

Smooth, clear communication, simplified process to work with them.
Service and communication was very good before the trips which made you feel at ease that your with a good guiding company. Although your paying a bit more, it’s worth the private ride provided and professional tour guides that ensure you get taken good care off in any activity (we did Gorilla trek and the Akegera Safari) as our guide Richard gave us a lot of info about the country and the animals there.

Fabulous in every way.
If you are planning a trip to Victoria Falls, I highly recommend booking with Exec Africa Travel and Tours. From an internet search, I inquired about possible activities and received many prompt, friendly and helpful emails from Manuel. He planned my trip including a pick up at the airport, a tour to Botswana, falls tours on both the Zimbabwean and Zambian side, a beautiful sunset cruise and dinner and a drop off at the airport. Of particular note was my driver Likhawa (Lee) who was friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful and who speaks excellent English.
My sincere thanks to Exec Africa and Tours who turned an internet search into a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing !!
The safari was the best experience of our life ! It started a year ago when we first reached out to Justin and his team to build the perfect honeymoon safari experience for us ! Throughout the year, Justin has been extremely helpful and reactive. He adapted the itinerary on the way to make the experience made-to-measure for us!!
Once we arrived in Tanzania for the safari, Alan was ready to pick us up and gave us many information about the country and shared a lot of nice stories. The safari started with Benjamin (our guide) and then the dream began! This truly was the most epic and magical week of our lives. Day by day, we discovered landscapes more beautiful than ever and we were lucky enough to see (very close!) all the animals we came this far to see in their natural habit. To make this even more perfect, Benjamin was telling us everything there was to know about the animals. He knows them very well. His knowledge of Tanzania, the parks and the animals made our safari beyond exceptional. He was very careful with the animals, knowing and anticipating their behaviours. Benjamin allowed us to witness animals during hunting and also so many others magical moments. We couldn’t be happier to have spent this week by his side and getting to know everything he shared with us. Besides, we were very lucky to find the car very clean every new day of the safari which was absolutely pleasant. The words won’t be enough to tell how much we value this experience and how thankful we are for Benjamin and the team! We can only recommend it and cannot wait to come back !
Asante Sana to everyone

JUST PERFECT
What an incredible experience with Martial Adventures and their guide Godson! From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, everything was perfectly organized. Martial Adventures took care of every detail, ensuring our stay was comfortable and stress-free. The safari logistics were perfect, and we felt completely in the hands of professionals.
Godson, our guide, was absolutely exceptional. Not only does he know every corner of the national parks, but he also has a deep knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife. Every day, he showed us with his passion and enthusiasm as he shared fascinating facts about the animals and the area. His ability to track animals was impressive.
Additionally, Godson's kindness and patience made us feel right at home. He was always willing to answer questions, give recommendations, and share stories that made our experience even more memorable.
Thanks to Martial Adventures, we had a safari that exceeded all our expectations. It was an unforgettable trip, full of exciting moments. We highly recommend this agency and Godson to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience in Tanzania!
Asante Sana!!!!!

Once in a lifetime experience with Lion King Adventures and guide Immanuel!
We could not recommend Lion King Adventures more highly!! From first communication to getting dropped back off at the Kilimanjaro airport, our entire 8-day honeymoon was seamless and incredible. We first communicated with Pendo, who helped us customize our 8-day safari itinerary and accommodations according to what we wanted to see. Pendo was quick to respond, informative, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Nickson then helped us with preparations for the trip, from booking our accommodations to keeping us informed on getting Visas and vaccinations. He also was communicative, informative, and gracious in answering our questions. Our itinerary consisted of 1 night at Gran Melia in Arusha, 1 night at Maramboi Tented Lodge near Tarangire, 2 nights at Nyota Luxury Camp in central Serengeti, 2 nights at Lake Masek Tented Lodge in Ndutu, and 1 night at Manyara’s Secret near Lake Manyara during calving season. This itinerary was perfect for us and we recommend all lodgings. We are vegetarian and were able to have delicious and balanced meals everywhere we were.
For the game drives, we could not have had a better experience! Our guide Immanuel Chamboa was amazing. He is a great driver, incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we were in and all of its wildlife, and adaptable to the things we were interested in. He made sure we got to see the big five, and in fact we were able to see countless lions, elephants, and buffalo in addition to 3 leopards and 6 black rhinos with his keen spotting and driving! I have a special interest in birds and Immanuel graciously helped me to both spot and identify over 100 species. I will always remember fondly working through our bird species books together in order to come up with an identification for the less common spottings! We are grateful we had him as our guide and highly recommend him.
You will not regret booking with Lion King Adventures!! My husband and I will be gushing about this trip and the memories we made for the rest of our lives.

Excellent
Unforgettable experience. Our guide Eric was excellent, very gracious. We had a seven day experience and he put on the big 5 plus more. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable safari. The accommodations were great, our family really enjoyed them all. Camptrek Safaris is a professional organization that care about its customers, great staff. Will be looking for them for our next opportunity.

Great budget option to see Maasai mara
Alex was a great tour guide, he invested a lot of energy in ensuring we had a great time exploring the reserve. The accomodation was also good, food plentiful and the staff friendly. One downside was that the accomodation was overbooked so I had to share a room despite paying for private accomodation.
