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!

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!

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.

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.

Excellent Tour to Fullfil Bucket List Dream of African Safari
5/5

This was a bucket list trip, and it was amazing. Patrick was our guide, and he was awesome. He knew so much about animals and their behavior, plants, and trees. We would tell him something we wanted to see, and it was like he ordered it up for us. He knew exactly where to go with the jeep to get the best view even in a crowd of jeeps.

We saw a cheetah resting beside the road in the shade. It got up, walked through the field to stand on a termite mound posing for pictures and looking for prey. Within minutes it chased down and killed a Thomson’s Gazelle. We saw lions mating and two lions work together to make a kill. It was amazing to see the circle of life with these animals. We saw cheetahs, leopards, elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, jackals, gazelles, buffalo, hippos, wildebeest, ostrich, crocodile, baboons, blue monkeys, mongoose, dik-dik, waterbuck, snake and a monitor. It is so beautiful to see these animals in their habit than in a zoo.

We really enjoyed our accommodations, especially the Maramboi Tented Lodge and Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge. I have to say I was not really thrilled about staying in a tent before the trip. It turns out they were our favorite, and we slept so well those nights. You felt like you were sleeping in nature but in luxury. The outdoor shower at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge was a nice with a view of the Serengeti landscape.

The roads are dirt and sand with ruts and rocks within the parks and driving to the Serengeti. We had a flat tire after traveling on a very rocky portion of road. Patrick had the tire changed in no time, and we were back on the road. We saw many jeeps with flat tires along the way. It was all part of the experience.

We highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions 8 Days Safari Tarangire Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour. If you want a great guide, ask for Patrick. He will take care of you and your family. You will go home with many great memories.

Best Three Days Ever!
5/5

We had a group of 10 (Canadians and Tanzanians) who used TRE for a 3-day safari. They picked us up at our hostel in Arusha, and took us to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.

Our two drivers; Ezekiel and Idris were amazing! They were able to pick out all the big animals on the safari and made sure we were able to see everything. They were also super informative and were able to tell us about the area, history, people, culture and so much more.

A great experience, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for guides!

Amazing Experience, Very Professional
5/5

Great experience for a 3 day trip (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) for a group of 10. Our accommodations at Kudu Lodge were also amazing and caught us all by surprise. The communication and level of service were professional.

The food during the safari (lunch boxes), albeit industry standard since all the other cars had similar looking boxes, tasted ok.

All in all a quality trip. I would definitely go with this company again! They were even kind enough to arrange airport drop off and a Maji Moto Trip en route to the airport.

Trip of a lifetime!!
5/5

Without any hesitation I would recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Paul and his team went above and beyond to provide a most memorable adventure while considering our safety and comfort at all times. This was a top priority because we were traveling with our young children and I was very anxious about this trip. Paul planned a 3 week journey for us which met my many, many, many requests (sorry Paul!) He was very patient and did all he could to make this trip a journey of a lifetime!! All of our drivers in the different regions we traveled (Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar) were extremely knowledgeable, courteous and very experienced. They ensured our safety and comfort at all times. Paul booked comfortable accommodations and made sure our needs were met at all times. He also made himself available while we were travelling and communicated immediately. I was also impressed that Paul and Mary made an effort to meet us twice to make us most welcome and at home in Arusha. Thank you so much to Paul and his team! Our family will be talking about this trip for many years to come! We hope to return to the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania soon!
Much appreciation - The Tynan Family

Amazing experience
5/5

We bought the Safari from home ( France) and were very happy of everything. We had what we were expected for and even more! Communication is good and quick with email from home. The Safari tour was amazing, nice guide/driver, comfortable Landrover, good food, comfortable accomodation. It was such a fantastic experience to camp ( having a big bed and a nice shower!) and to wake up with giraffes!). This company worked with hotels and camps of good quality and service.
A Safari in Tanzania is expensive but if you can afford it , it is worth to do it. The landscape is wonderful and there is so many animals..... It is an unique experience....
