Our tour operators Ken, Emanuel and William were very knowledgeable, entertaining, and awesome.
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Izeikiel (and Anocely) were perfection, and we will recommend them to anyone and everyone.
5/5

Start to finish the experience was executed perfectly. Paul was attentive to our needs and was fast to respond to itinerary changes and date changes and was warm and hospitable.

We were lucky to have Izeikiel as our guide and Anocely join us as well. Start to finish they were informative and eager for us to have the best experience. We always felt cared for and it felt like a team of friends rather than two strangers. Every detail of the trip was made special and catered to our dream trip. On day one we saw a leopard and by the time we left we were lucky to see all top five (save the rhino). The trip was so special that we are planning to go back and do it all over again with the same team (and this time see a rhino:). Don’t hesitate to book with Roadside. Was a trip we will never forget.

Wonderful experience
5/5

We experienced a wonderful 8 day Safari (based on Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Great Migration, Ngorongoro offer) with Tansania Roadside Expeditions.
Paul was very helpful, friendly and fast when communicating during preparation of the trip. He was very open to adapt and extend the itinerary to make this Safari very individual and meeting our wishes.
Then, upon arrival to the end, everything went smooth and to our full satisfaction,
Ezekiel was not only a very knowledgable guide who knew how to "find" the animals but also became a friend to us on this trip.

Thanks to Paul and Ezekiel for having made this trip possible !
We can highly reccomend this company !!

Priceless safari experiences with Roadside Expeditions
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Exceeded our hopes!
5/5

We had the most amazing experience. So many up-close encounters with 4 of the big 5. We did see a Rhino as well, but he was further away. The 4 were within 5 metres of the vehicle. Our guide, Emmanuel could not go enough for us, and also took great care on the road. The lodges we stayed were amazing as well. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Native perspective without worries during adventures
5/5

We had a wonderful time during a full week of safari across different landscapes from the parks in Tanzania-Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, wrapping up with a couple of days in Zanzibar. Paul, Ezekiel and the crew were awesome in organizing the whole trip and giving as much of a native perspective such a trip allows. Unforgettable!
