We have done many safaris with Silas, we are expats in Tanzania. We usually go to Mikumi, it's closest for us and it is one of the most scenic and animal-dense parks. But he is also certified for Ruaha (also scenic and amazing!) and some other national parks. I really should write a review for each safari because Silas deserves it. He is an excellent guide and makes each safari special. In fact, first we ask if he is available, and if not, we postpone our safari weekend. He is that good. He is passionate about going on safari and also the only guide here who loves and knows about birds. What sets Silas apart is his dedication to ensuring we have the best experience. We prefer a relaxed day without too much driving. He makes sure he is in the best place where wildlife comes to us. He knows where elephant or giraffe are going to cross. He parks us in the shade at the hippo pool and serves coffee and goodies with folding chairs and tables. He understands how to make sure you get the best photos. Enough said, don't make do with other guides, most of which are like Uber drivers who like the dollars more than the animals. Pick Silas.
