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.

"More than we ever expected"
More than we ever expected
My husband and I (32 &31) fulfilled a longlife dream of ours and booked a 8 day luxury safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions in June 2022. By chance I came across Tanzania Roadside Expeditions via this portal and got in touch with them. I was in contact with a few other safari providers at that point but a lot of them answered very sporadically and their prices were outrageously high. Greg from Tanzania Roadside responded to my email in a few hours and offered us a really good safari with exactly what I was looking for. He was super cooperative and fulfilled all our additional requests. I also want to mention that after we did the down payment, Greg still answered my emails with further questions immediately. When we arrived in Tanzania one of Greg's employees picked us up from the airport and brought us to our Hotel where we personally met Greg and our guide/driver for the week Ezechiel. I really want to point out what a great guide Ezechiel was. He has such a welcoming and positive mood, we immediately connect with each other.
He responded to all our requests but also honestly told us if it would be better for example to start earlier instead of later to see more animals. Ezechiel showed us the big 5 and so many other animals, explained their behaviors and told us all their names. He also handled all our Hotel-check in's and was a very good and safe driver. I would recommend Ezechiel a thousand times. He made our trip even more great!
Also I want to mention that all our lodges were outstandingly beautiful, clean and safe. The food was great and there was always the option for something vegetarian and salads and fruits. Even though we both eat everything we really liked to have the option to choose something meatless for every meal.Last but not least I also want to say that we were speechless how close the animals came to our car or how close we could approach them. We never ever expected to see wildlife so close to us!All together this safari was more amazing than I ever thought it would be. I 1000% recommend Greg's Tanzania Roadside Expeditions to everyone who is interested in doing a Safari in Tanzania.

Excellent driver guides and no hidden charges
We reached out to Paul at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions after being recommended by a friend who had used their services. From the start, they were prompt, professional and transparent. Comparing the many quotes for a private wildlife safari holiday in Tanzania and Kenya, I found theirs to be the most comprehensive and clear with no hidden charges. This trip was planned on an impulse and we had a very short window (25 days) to get prepared but Roadside Tanzania helped us get it done. They coordinated seamlessly with their partners in Kenya and we enjoyed a memorable trip in both countries. Their guides are courteous and knowledgeable, and we felt safe and well looked after in their care. Having found out that I was a birder, our driver guides Peter (Kenya) and James (Tanzania) made sure I had a great experience spotting birds alongside the Big 5 and other wildlife. We asked for a Zanzibar extension to our holiday, and they arranged that as well. In all, we had a splendid holiday thanks to Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Honest, reliable and caring
Have to admit to being hesitant to book a safari independently, and to send cash via bank transfer to someone I have never met. I needn't have been so nervous. Paul and his team are professionals and have been in the business for years. We couldn't have been in more trustworthy hands.
From the first pick up, it was clear that Paul and Ezekiel were determined that we have an amazing holiday. Our driver/guide, Ezekiel, was engaging, professional and knowledgeable. Each park that we went to (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) had a different and unique character, and Ezekiel's humour and knowledge made our trip all the more special.
I would highly recommend Roadside, and hopefully we will be back soon!

Will book more travel with Tanzania Roadside during our next time in the country, without hesitation
We did two full-day private safari trips to Ngorongoro crater and Arusha National Park. The trips were arranged at a very short notice, and the rates that Tanzania Roadside Expedition offered were in line, or lower, than the competition. That, combined with very favorable reviews, convinced us to choose Tanzania Roadside.
The trips were wonderful: all sightings promised in the itinerary documents sent to us beforehand materialized in full, despite the travel being in a low (rainy) season. We very much appreciated the service and company of our guide/driver Ezekiel. He is experienced and knowledgeable (being a college graduate in a related discipline), and a warm and fun person. The Toyota Land Cruiser was comfortable, and the provided binoculars enhanced the experience.
As said in the title, we would not hesitate to book other trip when the opportunity arises, and would definitely recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions to others.

Safari business recommended by people living in Tanzania
I can wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions Safaris. They came recommended by a friend who lives in Tanzania and everything went perfect. We did a 4-day Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Paul, his team and our guide Ezekiel made everything perfect. At our first day in the Serengeti, we saw the big 5 with Ezekiel spotting a black rhino (most difficult to observe) where other cars had driven by. We had planned our trip for January 2021, then had to reschedule to July because of Covid, and Paul was very flexible regarding payment conditions and rescheduling. Hope 2022 will be a better year for you guys!

Brilliant luxury tour - the adventure of a lifetime!
We booked the luxury Tanzania 9-day tour and loved every minute. Paul was great in planning and adjusting the trip to meet our requirements and answering questions in advance - it was extra important to us to have that contact and guidance given all the uncertainty of travelling during COVID. Our guide James met us at from the pick-up location as arranged and ensured everything went smoothly after that. This tour packs a huge amount in and we were left with so much thanks and admiration for James' hard work and friendly service which ensured we took in all the most wonderful highlights and saw the Big 5 at their best! The safari vehicle was high quality, clean and well maintained. All the hotels we stayed at were stunning and exceeded our expectations. This is a locally owned and run organisation and a great choice for your Tanzania adventure!

Exceeded our hopes!
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.
