We could not be happier. First rate company and experience from the planning to the amazing safari.
Quite simply our experience with Ro Scavenger Safaris was amazing from beginning to end.
I sought quotes from 8 companies for a moderate budget. The dates we were looking at were in mid October which is a good time to visit, a little less expensive yet before the rainy season.
Ro Scavenger had excellent reviews, was the most reasonable and was a local company, which was important to us. And so I began a conversation with Silas who listened to our desires and concerns and planned our 8 day safari. He is knowledgeable and his responses were always prompt and helpful and he modified our original plan to accommodate changes for hotels and to add a night in the north Serengeti to hopefully see the tail end of the migration. A risk but we were lucky. The final itinerary included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti for 3 nights, and Ngorongoro. We were in three hotels and four tents camps. We loved the tent camps which were quite luxurious, with comfortable beds, and really added to the experience. I was also pleasantly surprised when I realized we were getting a private safari - great value for the price. A much better deal than the one a friend purchased through an overseas tour group with six people per jeep.
The safari more than lived up to our expectations and for this we give thanks and a special shout out to our driver and guide, Michael. Michael went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after and our experience was memorable. He was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We saw so much and learned so much from him. Eight hours in a range rover simply flew by. During our safari, we saw herds of animals up close, witnessed a lioness chase a warthog, wildebeast migrate across the river and a crocodile drown one.
Finally, even though we were on a moderate budget, the accommodations, hotels and tents, were excellent as was the food, which was usually a buffet. The vehicle was well-maintained and comfortable.

Hard working & good communication
Right from the beginning, the whole RO team was very active and responsive in planning the schedules and itinerary. They also considered & accommodated various requests that we made along side the basic plan (eg, type of accommodation, vegetarian food, vehicle modification, interaction with guides, experts etc). They were very prompt in replying to our queries. This helped us to plan things in a better way. Prices were very competitive and the whole RO team was committed to cater to our requirements.
They are definitely a company to go with.
The areas they can improve is to gain more maturity in estimation of timings, road conditions and distances between destinations. Sometimes it becomes too much for the day and excessive rush & stress. They also need to improve their assessment of properties and should make sure that the customer is not made to suffer for the lack of homework & evaluation of camps and properties by RO. The customer should get enough time for a bit of relaxation, peaceful dinners and a bit of leisure.
Definitely recommend RO but make sure that the chosen properties (camps, hotels) are well assessed before you confirm.

A once in a lifetime experience.
We traveled for four days spending two nights in Serengeti, one night near NGORONGORO and one day in Tarangire. The communication to organise our trip was really great and quick. The team answered all our questions made us several offers until we found the perfect route for us. The safari it self was just overwhelming, also because of our great guide, Edward. He took great care of us and made sure we get to see all the different animals. It was our honeymoon but we didn’t communicate it with the team. Anyhow they just knew it and surprised us with a banner on our safari car and we got also surprised in all accommodations we were. The camp in Serengeti was a once in a life time experience. The nights were so amazing hearing all animals outside. If you want to go to Serengeti sleep in the camp! All in all it was the best trip we ever made! Big thanks to the amazing team! We will recommend it to anyone!

Perfect
Our five-day expedition across Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, featuring a walking tour guided by Mr. Hilary, persevered through challenging weather conditions that day.
Our guide, Mr. Edward, was an absolute gem. Throughout the journey, he displayed an unparalleled level of adaptability, tailoring each game drive to suit our desires while tirelessly seeking out the most breathtaking wildlife sightings. His wealth of knowledge and patience knew no bounds, as he graciously answered our endless stream of questions with enthusiasm and expertise. He was very friendly and professional.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Silas and Mr. Robert for their exceptional support and organization throughout our journey. Their flexibility in accommodating our requests, including the last-minute adjustment of our flight, underscored their commitment to our comfort and satisfaction.

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Shout out to Edward and the whole team for giving us the best safari experience we could have asked for! Edward was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, patient, genuinely kind, and always happy to answer our questions. His ability to read animal behavior and spot wildlife from unbelievably far away is amazing. he definitely has eagle eyes! One of our most unforgettable moments was when he spotted cheetahs before any other vehicles, giving us the chance to enjoy the sighting peacefully before the crowds arrived. He also went above and beyond with the little details, cleaning the safari vehicle every day so each morning felt like a fresh start. You can tell he truly loves what he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge. A big thank you to Silas as well, who was so kind, patient, and incredibly helpful—especially when we made changes after confirmation, he was quick to help and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend Edward and RO Scavenger Safaris for an unforgettable safari experience!

Beyond exception!
Although RO scavenger is not a well known company, they are definitely a reliable company. During our communication,not like other companies, they block the rooms for us initiativetly, this is very important for the peak season,and all the responds are very fast. Their quotation is reasonable and competitive. All the communication and tour are very happy. Our driver George is a fun guy, he is very good at finding animals and very thoughtful. Always looking for what we want.
Overall, I will highly recommend RO scavenger!
