Exceeded my expectations!
Paul and James are some of the nicest people in the world! One trip with them and they are like life long friends in my heart. Paul can make any arrangement you want. James is knowledgeable about every tree, and animal. He is always looking for ways to make your trip the best. He helped us see a black Rhino! With only 45 left in the world, how amazing is that? Combine them with wild life that only exists in Tanzania and you will have a trip of a life time! P.S. Tanzania is open for tourism right now because there is no one sick there. Seriously if you ever wondered what it is like to be almost the only tourist in an entire country you should go now! Amazing people, wild life and country. An experience beyond words.

Excellent tour in Tanzania & Zanzibar
Tanzania Roadside Expeditions did an amazing for my recent trip to Tanzania. The itinerary was customized to meet all of my needs . My tour guide, James, was extremely attentive, caring & flexible in every way. The climb up ( halfway) of Kilimanjaro was great. On the safari James made sure to show as many animals as possible.
In planning the tour, Paul, was fantastic and patient to achieve exactly what I wanted

Amazing Safari Experience
Communication & Payment
The communication way easy and really straight forward. The offer we received was in a timely manner and it was the best price range per day for the type of Safari that we did - Private Safari with Lodges. Payment method was flexible which was especially important during those uncertain Covid times.
Safety
We felt safe and sound all the way! Our guide was really experienced driver, never speeded and he overcame all challenges along the road. We saw a lot of distressed cars on our way but our car and driver were strong and safe. All the lodges that we stayed put extra attention on safety and we even had on few place room escorts in the late hours after dinner. Ok I must say, you are in the wild not in the Zoo so you will hear wild animals during the night but do not worry you are safe and sound, just enjoy those extraordinary moments!
Lodges / Services & Food
The lodges we stayed were amazing! We were most impressed with Central Serengeti but all the lodges were very nice, clean and the personal was very caring, friendly and welcoming. Almost everything was taken care for us and we had to only have a good time. The food on most places was extremely tasty with a lot of variety (especially the Masai lamb meat). In most lodges the cook directly approaches the guest to ensure everyone is happy!
Guide / Game drives
Driving skills excellent, social skills even better! Our guide was very well informed, but he was able to sense the mood and he did not overwhelm us with information. He left us enjoy the ride & chill and when we were in the mood, he was giving us crash course in Swahili. The guide was all the time well informed about the road quality, the animals ahead and the eyesight of this man was just amazing! We called him "Super Vision" as he can spot a leopard from 100 km (ok I might be overstating but you get my point). We saw the “big 5” and many more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITION
We had such a great lifetime. The tour was very interesting, we visited several national parks (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater), we had the chance to cross lots of lions, leopards, serval cats, tones of gnous and zebras during the great migration, hippos, elephants and so on.
Justin our guide was very nice, flexible and understanding. He has an amazing knowledge of the african wildlife. We became like friends. He's able to answer to any question. Moreover he gave us the opportunity of visiting a Maasai village.
Paul the owner of the company is really professional and helping for any inquiries we made (payment, choice of the hotels ...)
The hotels proposed by the company were absolutely perfect. (Lake Manyara Serena Lodge, Four Seasons Serengeti, Oldeani Mountai Lodge, and Gran Melia). All the accomodations were comfortable and each hotel provided us meals for lunching during the game drive, snacks, drinks, meals.
We highly recommand them if you plan to book a tour in Tanzania. For sure we will go back there with them.
Thanks Paul & Justin for this incredible experience that we will never forget !

Our tour operators Ken, Emanuel and William were very knowledgeable, entertaining, and awesome.
We were supposed to go on this trip last year, but had to cancel due to Covid. We already paid 20% and were a bit apprehensive whether we'd be able to reschedule our trip. We communicated with Paul and he assured us we could reschedule to go at any time. This summer we decided to go for it since things in East Africa seemed pretty good and we were vaccinated. Paul was very informative and helpful when I tried to organize the trip answering my numerous emails very promptly. When we landed we were pleasantly surprised that our guides have been vaccinated! We began the trip with Ken as our guide in Kenya. We visited lake Naivasha, and then Masai Mara game reserve for several days. Ken was extremely knowledgeable, he knew the name of every animal and bird we encountered. He also had an uncanny ability to find the animals! we would always be the first ones on the scene before all the other jeeps. We were even able to see an immediate aftermath of a lioness hunting a wildebeest. Once we got to the border with Tanzania Ken seamlessly transferred us to into the care of our Tanzanian guide Emanuel who drove us to the Serengeti. We spent a few days in Serengeti which was amazing! Emanuel was just as knowledgeable as Ken, and he also was a big story teller about the culture in Tanzania. He had a little book with some Swahili words and expressions and by the end of 5 days we could say a few of them :). The accommodations in Serengeti were absolutely amazing. It is called tent camping but I've never seen a tent quite like that. The tent had several rooms, a proper shower and bathroom. You could hear and sometimes see the animals right outside the tent. We visited the Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara national park and Tarangire. All the parks were amazing in their own way with different birds, animals and flora. From the plains of Serengeti to woods in Tarangire. we then crossed back to Kenya where Ken picked us up at the border and drove to Amboseli national park. Again the accommodations were incredible! Because of Covid we had to get tested before our flight back which was arranged for us and was quick and painless. We stayed an extra day in Nairobi where our guide William took us to Elephant orphanage, giraffe center and a museum. Overall it was an amazing experience made really easy since all the planning once we got there was done for us. I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and in particular their guides Ken, Emanuel and William!

Very responsive and great customer service
Paul was very attentive during our communcations by email. I asked for a lot of info upfront and he was always happy to reply quickly with good advices. They were very flexible and taylored the itinerary of our trip as we wanted.
I did a 10-day safari trip with my new-wed. Our driver James was very kind and respectful. He knew all the reserves by heart and could find animals swiftly. We saw the big 5 thanks to his good game-tracing skills. He knew how ro fulfil tourists needs and also let us some space when we needed it. His driving skills were excellent, we never felt unsafe.
I really recommend Roadside Expeditions.

Priceless safari experiences with Roadside Expeditions
We have spent an amazing time with Roadside Expeditions during our six day safari throughout Tanzania.
We can highly recommend Paul and his company. He was very attentive to our needs and questions before arriving.
From the time we were picked up at Arusha Airport to the time we were dropped off at Kilimanjaro Airport, we felt safe and knew we were in good hands.
The tour itself was absolutely brilliant. We had Justin as our tour guide. He was really friendly a good driver and guide also well connected with other tour guides so we were able to see so many incredible animals.
All of our accommodations were comfortable with nice and helpful staff.
Truly amazing experience - amazing lodges, great Roadside Expeditions!

AMAZING SAFARI EXPERIENCE
My husband and I booked our 6-day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions back in 2019, aiming to do a 2020 safari. We ultimately postponed our safari due to COVID-19 and rescheduled for 2021. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was so wonderful in being flexible with our dates and very communicative with helping plan our new trip in 2021, especially with accommodating new COVID restrictions. Our safari driver/guide was James and we felt that he went above and beyond to provide us the best safari experience. With James' sharp eye and 15 years of safari experience, we saw so many animals and he answered all our questions about them. He also went out of his way to make sure that we got our PCR test done and that we received our results before our flight back home. We are so appreciative to both James and Paul at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and would absolutely recommend them for your next safari.

A great one day trip to Kilimanjaro mountain
We´ve been on the one day trip to Kilimanjaro mountain with our guide Godlove and Ezekiel. It was really a beautiful daytrip, our guide had lots of experience climbing the Kilimanjaro. A very friendly atmosphere. We had a great day!
