Organized and professional
If it wasn't exciting enough to be going on a Safari in the Serengeti, we had an incredible tour operator to make it more special. Paul in the office was very organized and perfect guiding us step by step through the reservation process. Albert was an exceptional guide that traveled with us from resort to camp to lodge to tent and everywhere in between. We could NOT have had a more knowledgeable guide! Albert has a degree in animal behavior and was a wealth of information on the oddities and peculiarity of each habitat, herd, pride and species interaction behaviors. We learned many interesting facts about each species along with mating rituals and predatory protocols. This adventure was a bucket list fulfilled with the BIG 5 (Lion, Black Rhino, Leopard, Lion, Elephant, Water Buffalo) and Super 7 (Big 5 plus Cheetah and Jackal) all in one trip. We were close enough to giraffe, elephant, zebra and wildebeest to look right in their eyes as they walked within inches of our Jeep. We saw the mating ritual literally in front of our eyes of a male and female lion. We were very near 3 cheetahs resting under a tree, giraffe were fighting from dominance, warthogs are hilarious, hyena are demonic looking, hippos smell awful and crocodiles were typically nearby. Water buffalo, jackal, leopard in treetops, baboon blocking the pathway, black rhino under the trees and many incredible birds. The greatest part of it all, these gorgeous, majestic animals were in their natural habitat, running free and living a protected life!!! HIGHLY recommend this exceptional trip!! Roadside Expeditions will take care of your details with fabulous accommodations, food and staff. Request Albert as your guide!!

Responsive and Accommodating Operator and an Unforgettable Experience!
Working with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and Paul to set up the safari was a great experience. Paul was very responsive and always patient with the questions I had. This trip was organized as part of my honeymoon and Paul must've put in a good word at the lodges we stayed at because there was always a little something for us to make the trip extra special. What a nice touch!
Our safari guide, Sele, was amazing! Sele is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, and hard working people we had the privilege of spending 3 days with. He was always excited to go for our game drives and able to see animals from a distance. He put us in some pretty incredible positions to experience the wildlife and make memories that will last my wife and I's lifetime.
Overall, booking with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone else considering this operator!

Roadside Tanzania helped us make the safari a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
A safari had been on our wish list for many years. Roadside Tanzania helped us make it a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
Paul was great in explaining details of the options and was very flexible in adapting the itinerary to include what we wanted to see within the days available.
Once we arrived in Tanzania we were welcomed by our guide Justin & guide-in-training Arnold. They took care of us from start till end as if we were family and the best of friends.
Arnold seemed more than ready to lead safaris on his own already!
Justin amazed us with his thorough knowledge of Tanzania, the parks and the animals; his eye to spot animals; his constant efforts to ensure we saw as many animals as possible; his patience even with the never ending questions from our 7 year old - even joining in her dance routines.
Justin, Paul, Arnold - Ahsante for making this such a beautiful trip.

Family fun in Africa
From start to finish, everything was over the top. From easy and fast communication with Paul, to coming to Arusha airport to be met personally by him (he is owner of TRE) and his excellent guide and driver Ezekiel to having a fantastic trip of a lifetime. I just can’t express how much of a great driver and friend is Ezekiel, excellent knowledge of wildlife and his easy going humor to top it all off. If there is a trip and a company I would recommend for African safari, you could never go wrong with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Fantastic from start to finish
From the moment we submitted a request for information, to being dropped off at the airport at the end of the trip, the entire experience with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was faultless. Paul, the owner, was extremely prompt and helpful via email during the booking process, allowing us to tweak some of the accomodation options to make the trip exactly what we wanted, and helping us with all the planning and preparation ahead of the trip. The price offered was also very competitive, beating the other companies we enquired with.
All local transfers, including flights and taxis, were taken care of for us, and at every step of the way everyone was perfectly on time, and we were kept informed of all the logistics around our trip, which was good for our peace of mind.
As for the actual safari itself... all 4 days were amazing, as we drove through spectacular locations and saw all the wildlife that we had hoped to see. Our guide Justin was outstanding - as well as being extremely professional and skilled at what he does, he was very personable and happened to be great company for 4 days! Thanks to his expertise we got to see all of the "Big 5", among all the other magnificent animals, and were able to have an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
I can't speak highly enough of Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Professional
Paul was very responsive and patient but not at all pushy. We had an amazing time. Every lodge or camp we stayed in was very luxurious. Hospitality was great. Justin, our guide and driver, made efforts so we can see many animals. Safari during the day and glamping by the night was truly an amazing experience. We had a blast.

Emanuel Macha was truly the most amazing, knowledgeable, caring and miraculous Guide/driver EVER!
This was a dream trip for me, (having traveled the world extensively). To have a guide/ driver that is not only knowledgeable about the gorgeous areas; animals, birds, trees and fauna that you’re seeing, but pleasant, accommodating to our every need, is rare! I’m still in awe of his ability to navigate the unpaved roads and end up in miraculous scenes! Our lodges were spectacular and was actually in tears when we had to part!

Emanuel Macha is knowledgeable, kind and fun. Perfect for his position.
My family and I had a spectacular 5 star service. My husband and travel agent Shay Sabag made this experience amazing. We stayed at beautiful locations. Had absolutely wondeful service from our driver Emanuel Macha. Macha’s knowledge allowed us to learn, explore and experience the safari in a way that met my entire families needs. He is thoughtful, kind and understanding. Our ages in our private family tour ranged from 11-80 years of age and we all had the best trip ever. True 5 star service.
Our Tour Guide Went Above and Beyond to Give Us a Fantastic Tour
In preparation for our tour, we received excellent communication with Paul, who answered all of our extensive questions concerning the tour and what to expect and how to prepare. He usually answered in a timely fashion. We only had to pay 20% of the cost ahead of time and the rest upon arrival. Their credit card processor was down for a while but it was fixed and was able to accept our payment in a timely fashion. The tour itself was over-the-top. Harry, our tour guide, was amazing in accommodating our every need and knowing where to go to have the best chances of seeing the animals. The numbers and variety that we saw were amazing. It was very evident that Harry wanted to give us the best tour possible rather than just doing his job and getting us to our accommodations for the night as soon as possible. We were very pleased with the accommodations chosen for our luxury tour. The tented lodge gave the experience of really being out in the bush while being secure and well-cared for, if you didn't mind having a very modern shower that was open to the air above. The food in all places was very good with a lot of variety and choices. My companion's dietary restrictions were treated with outstanding accommodation wherever we went. We appreciated the many places to pick up souvenirs along the way. Mosquitoes or other insects were not a problem.
