Local and family-owned Company that provides very good service
5/5

We booked the tour with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions based on a recommendation of a German friend. In total we are very happy with the decision to select this tour operator. We did three tours: one day hike at Kilimanjaro, 7 days of safari and a guided tour through Stone Town. All three Guides we had were very experienced and open-minded. Especially during safari we felt very safe due to the driving of our guide Laurian.

As communication with the local manager is via WhatsApp, we recommend to don‘t hesitate to ask as many questions as you have in particular if something is unclear. Paul is happy to adjust the journey until it fits in with your budget and your wishes.

All in all we can highly recommend to book with Tanzania Roadside Experience.

A wonderful experience
5/5

anzania Roadside Expedition helped make our trip perfect. Due to a problem with our tour operator we had to reschedule our trip a few weeks before departure. Within hours, Zephania helped us design a safari that met all our needs. Zephania was always prompt and accurate in his responses. The success of the trip was also due to our cook, Elly, but most of all to our guide, Samuel. Samuel was always very attentive to our wellbeing, fulfilling our requests and sharing most of the decisions with us. We will never forget his kindness and the pleasant conversations we had over dinner. All in all, we would definitely recommend Tanziana Roadside Expedition and its staff for your trip to Tanzania.

Outstanding! I highly recommend Tanzania Roadshow Expeditions!
5/5

I spent quite a long time searching for a tour operator to organize my trip to Africa. I chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions because I was amazed at how quickly they responded to my inquiry. Paul, the owner, was incredibly fast, flexible, and accommodating. I added and removed things from the original tour multiple times until I made it exactly as I wanted. Paul was attentive to every whim of mine without ever complaining about the frequent changes. He answered all my questions and was always available whenever I needed him. He even had to make a last-minute change to our tour because the airline changed our flight. From the initial planning stages to our final day, Paul was with us every step of the way. He even took the time to check in with us at the end of our journey, wishing us a safe trip home.

The tour was beautifully organized, and the camps were nothing short of spectacular. Nestled right in the heart of the parks, the camps offered an authentic experience surrounded by nature. It was truly magical when zebras and wildebeests visited us during the night, making the whole experience even more unforgettable.

Our guides, Dominic in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania, were simply outstanding. Their deep knowledge of the wildlife and the landscape, combined with their infectious enthusiasm, brought every moment to life. They were always smiling, in great spirits, and went out of their way to ensure that we had the best possible experience. Their passion for what they do was evident in every detail, and they made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight.

If you’re looking for a hassle-free journey where you don’t have to worry about anything and can just enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, turn to Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

Once is a lifetime Safari experience
5/5

After a lot of research, I decided to book our family Safari for 6 people with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and everything was amazing! From the initial inquiry, Paul, took great care in putting together a fabulous itinerary that met our needs for budget and a mid-luxury safari experience. He was incredibly responsive via email and What's App which made organizing the trip very easy. It was so helpful to have everything take care of by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions - including the airport transfers, park fees, lodge bookings, meals, flights to Zanzibar after our trip etc. The lodges Paul selected were incredible, each so unique in their own way! We simply did not have to worry about anything, everything was taken care of from the moment we landed in Tanzania.

Justin was our tour guide for our 4 night safari, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoronogoro Parks and we all felt so grateful to have a guide that was so warm, kind, funny and INCREDIBLY knowledgable about the animals and the parks. Justin truly made our experience what is was - AMAZING! He has been working as a guide for many years and his knowledge is unparalleled. What really blew us away was his ability to anticipate the animals movements, moving the location of our vehicle, to where the animals were going, versus sitting in the same spot as all the other trucks - the result was incredibly special movements of animals walking right by us, that we will never forget. We saw the Big 5 on our trip and this would not have been possible without Justin, and his incredible knowledge and perseverance.

We are so grateful for Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and Paul for putting together such a wonderful itinerary, and Justin for taking us on the adventure of a lifetime!!

If you are planning to visit the parks in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions enough - they are truly incredible!

Totally Recommended, Extremely Trustworthy!!!
5/5

If you want to go on a safari to Tanzania or Kenya or both, look no further, Tanzania Roadside Expeditions is for you. I've booked a trip with them, for my wife and myself. Everything was as planned and discussed, and we had the time of our lives.

1). The accommodations were chosen with the help of Zephania which was our point of contact, and they were lovely.

2). Money wise you transfer a small percentage of the fee to a bank account and the rest of them are cash on arrival (they are 100% trustworthy and there is nothing to worry about!!!)

3). Guides/Drivers are total pros.

I want to give special thanks to our Tanzanian driver Ezekiel Maasai, he went far and beyond to make this trip for us unforgettable and to help us create long lasting memories. Thank you, my friend!

If you book with Roadside ask for Ezekiel Maasai and you won’t regret it!

Most memorable experience of a lifetime! Thank you Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
5/5

We had a once in a lifetime experience facilitated by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and our excellent guide Laurian!
We went to Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, and Serengeti and were able to catch sightings of all of the Big 5! Our highlights of the trip that we will never forget were: seeing lions mate 5 ft away, watching hippos fight, and baby cheetah cubs up close! Laurian was an excellent guide and driver. We felt completely safe and taken care of the entire time and were truly able to take on a Hakuna Matata attitude because he was so responsible and excellent at listening to our wants and planning daily schedules around that.

Excellent tour operator did a great job w/ short notice, tight budget & specific dates.
5/5

I very highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD, Zephania Abduel and our knowledgeable and lovely safari guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania for making our bucket-list African holiday a dream come true. This trip was amazing despite our relatively tight budget, only 2 months advance planning with specific dates of travel, lodging needs for a room with 3 adult beds, and hopes for 50/50 safari and resort style vacation which required flights as well.

We actually asked for quotes from a handful of other companies, most of which were either slow to respond, had high quotes out of our range, or said they could not help us due to the short time frame. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions replied immediately and said they could help us. Zephania met with us via Zoom so he could clearly understand our specific needs. (I think he works 24/7 because he was always responsive within a few hours.) He planned the itinerary and booked a vacation package that was perfect for us.

Zephania took care of our ride from the airport to the hotel and included our requested ‘jetlag’ day before we started our safari. We saw 3 different safari parks with different lodging types between Kenya and Tanzania which were all amazingly unique and wonderful. Everyone was so friendly, and we felt very safe. Our guides, Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania, were so helpful and shared their vast knowledge with us inside the parks regarding the animals (got us so close to the animals) and outside of the parks in regard to teaching us about the people and their different cultures.

Zephania’s associate met us in Zanzibar to for our final part of our vacation. We had a tour and snorkeling and plenty of pampering and scuba diving for several days, all of which was perfect.

I cannot more highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD with Zephania Abduel and guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezikiel Maasai in Tanzania. They provided excellent service.

5/5

From the moment we got in touch with the company, they have been on point about answering all our inquiries. All questions were answered with amazing promptness. They worked with us to accommodate all our requests, adjust the itinerary according to our preferences and keep us within our budget.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the beautiful smile of “Ezekiel” who was very kind and gave us a great run down of the city Arusha. Clear directions by each person were given to us with very punctual pickup and drop off times.
Hand offs at each location were well planned. Our safari guide “Justin” was just amazing, full of energy and knowledge about the game drive..clearly passionate about his work. He worked with us on each step to make sure we took pictures and saw the animals up close. He was patient, kind and managed time exceptionally well. All the way to Zanzibar, the company had excellent coordination to make sure our stay was perfect!
Above all,” Zephania “ was an excellent manager of the company. Very reliable and honest. Loved our Safari and he went over and beyond to arrange for a birthday cake and a celebration for me at one of the lodges we stayed at. They sure made it memorable..plan to send my boys next year on a safari with this company!
Thank you to all the team at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
