Amazing Experience with Great Company!!
We just got back from a 6-night safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and the only thing we can say is GO NOW! The parks are unprecedently empty due to the pandemic, so if you have ever dreamt of going on a Safari, the time is NOW. We interacted with Paul, Justin and Ezekiel (who ended up being our guide), each of which was highly professional, very helpful and super knowledgeable. Paul was our main point of contact prior to the trip. He always responded in a very timely manner and was never pushy about anything. Paul even showed up to the hotel in Arusha to go over the itinerary with us and Ezekiel, making sure everything was smooth. From the time we were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport to the time we were dropped off, we felt safe and knew we were in good hands. Justin and Ezekiel took the time to show us around Arusha upon our arrival, even bringing us to a local spot for dinner. Ezekiel was our guide for the rest of the trip and we could not offer him higher praise. He spoke excellent English and was eager to provide the best service to make sure we had an incredible experience. He was amazing and very friendly
All the accommodations that Tanzania Roadside Expeditions put us up in were amazing and unique in their own way. The hotels in Arusha and Ngorongoro were equivalent to a 5-star hotel in the States. The places we stayed in the Serengeti and outside of Tarangire were more of a glamping style hotel and had the most breathtaking views! The dinners included in the trip were also top notch, it felt like we had a romantic 5-star dinner every night.
Tanzania is open to tourism now, with no restrictions as their President has declared they are COVID free. Take advantage of the low number of tourists while you can and go now. We saw a ton of animals (even lion cubs!) up very close, since the parks were near empty. We had a once in a lifetime experience and the only complaint we have is we aren’t still there.

Unforgettable Lifetime Experience with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
Being a seasoned travellers to African safari destinations, me and my wife had always dreamed of experiencing wilderbeest migration in Serengeti and visiting paradise on earth in Ngorongoro Crater. Since Tanzania was far from our first safari destination, we started from reaserching which Tanzanian safari operator to choose. We contacted to a few safari operators, but from the very first email Paul, the Manager of Tanzania Roadside Expeditions distinguished with a timely, thorough and clear communication in all correspondence. His well-pointed advices, diplomacy and flexible approach to our requests and accomodation preferencies led to compiling an excellent 12-days Tailored Safari Tour with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Prior to our arrival Paul was accurate and honest with periodic updates on arrangements with a prefered lodges and camps.
We were warmly welcomed at Kilimanjaro Airport by our driver and guide Walter who appeared to be a great wildlife lover and expert. Walter was extraordinary - smart, personable, knowledgeable, intuitive and empathic. He catered to all of our wishes, going off the beaten path and finding animals that were unseen by others driving the same routes, worth mentioning a rarely seen caracal. Thanks to Walter’s experience, we were able to observe wildlife action - lions hunting warthog and having their breakfast, cheetah hunting Thomson gazelle, wilderbeests river crossing and many other animals, including a number of big cats, relaxing on trees and rocks. Great unforgettable lifetime experience!
The overnight lodges and camps were perfectly chosen by Paul and exceeded our expectations, especially Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge in Serengeti NP.
Sincerely thank you Paul and Walter for a wonderful Tanzania experience!
We highly recommend a professional and strongly customer-oriented company Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Great Safari
Amazing safari. We saw more than we expected. The guide - Ezekiel - was very helpful, punctual and stopped when we wanted to take some photos. He showed us animals that we would not notice. Great knowledge! I look forward to visiting Tanzania again, along with of course Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Amazing safari experience with a beautiful landscape and so many animals
We booked with Paul quiet last minute and had many questions. Paul was very flexible and was replying very quickly and providing us with all information we needed.
The safari experience was amazing. We have seen so much in 5 days including the big 5 going to Taranguire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The landscape was just amazing too.
Our guide Justin was very professional and had an eye of an eagle spotting animals from far and bringing us closer to them with some interesting facts about all of them. He knows the area very well and on top was very easy going and fun to spend time with.
The accommodation were all good but Kubu Kubu was really the highlight!
We definitely can recommend a safari to Tanzania with Tanzania roadside as they exceeded our expectations.
We also felt safe while traveling.

Well organized, top service and great experience!
I did a 6-days Kilimanjaro climb, a city tour in Arusha and two days of safari in the Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks.
Everything was well organized and worked out perfectly. Paul always replied to my requests quickly and could help me out with everything I asked him for. I would recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for everyone who want to have a great experience!

Dream came true
That was yet the most memorable and fantastic trip in our life. Paul, Ezekiel, and Saymon do a very great job organizing roadside expeditions. We've managed to see a "big five", some of them very-very close. Ngorongoro crater is something unbelievable.

Amazing!! Highly recomendable!
Our safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was amazing! From the start until the end, everything went very smooth. It was easy to book and the safari was great (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro). The accommodations were all really nice with good food. Our guide Justin was also amazing. He was super friendly, great at spotting animals & always drove really carefully. We would definitely recommend him and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We went during Covid-19 and we did not regret it for a second. Tanzania is an amazing country with extremely friendly people who depend a lot on tourism. We always felt safe and really enjoyed our trip! :)

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

The safari with our guide James was a once in a lifetime exsperience.
The communication with Paul (tour operator) was very friendly. He made all our wishes possible. When we arrived in Arusha, we even got a phenomenal upgrade for the accommodations for free. All the accommodations were so luxury like paradise.
Our guide James was perfect. He knows everything about animals and the national parks, furthermore he‘s a very good driver and got us out of every mud hole. We had nothing Thank you very much for this unforgettable adventure!

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
