Amazing safari!!!
Paul at Roadside Expeditions was really helpful and flexible when we were planing our trip and was really quick to respond to requests/questions.
Our driver James was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable about all the animals, birds and local history. We had a wonderful 5 day safari in Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorngoro - would definitely recommend the company to anybody!

Truly Awe-inspiring experience
It was easy to book the tour. There was a little confusion over the exchange rate but it was only the difference of a few pounds.
The lodges that came with the package were outstanding and luxurious.
The tour itself was absolutely brilliant. We had Ezekiel as our tour guide. He was really friendly and extremely knowledgeable. By the end of the tour we felt like we had known him for ages.
We went on the 3 day tour to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangire. We were extremely lucky and we saw 4 out of the big 5: Lion, Buffalo, Rhino, elephants. Ezekial had exceptional vision and spotted the rhino from a massive distance. We also saw a lion hunt. It really was an amazing, once in a lifetime time experience.

Amazing safari and excellent service!
We highly recommend Tanzania roadside expeditions. They were very knowledgeable about literally every animal/question we asked. They fulfilled all of our requests ie - filling the cooler full of wine - because how can you not drink Serengeti Wine when your on the Serengeti!? The accommodations were top notch. Great lodges with good locations. James was our guide - we cannot say enough good things about his hard work and service. He was very accommodating, friendly, and very sincere. Also - we got to see the Great migration, an absolutely incredible experience with 1000s of wildebeests and zebras crossing the river. We even got a cool shot of the croc chomping the wildebeest.

Exceeded my expectations!
Paul and James are some of the nicest people in the world! One trip with them and they are like life long friends in my heart. Paul can make any arrangement you want. James is knowledgeable about every tree, and animal. He is always looking for ways to make your trip the best. He helped us see a black Rhino! With only 45 left in the world, how amazing is that? Combine them with wild life that only exists in Tanzania and you will have a trip of a life time! P.S. Tanzania is open for tourism right now because there is no one sick there. Seriously if you ever wondered what it is like to be almost the only tourist in an entire country you should go now! Amazing people, wild life and country. An experience beyond words.

Amazing Honeymoon Safari experience
Overall the trip was amazing.
We loved our driver, he explained us a lot of interesting things not only about the animals, tribes, living, etc.
We saw the big five and it was a great time of the year to do this since everything was beautiful and green.
The experience of sleeping in a tent were the animals could approach was unique.
And we felt that the amount of days was enough to get the feeling.
We recommend the trip

Safari operator met all our expectations.
I had done a lot of research on-line for what we wanted to see on our safari and written back and forth with several operators. We selected Tanzania Roadside Expeditions because Paul was always prompt and very good at communicating with us and open to changes in the itinerary.
We shuttled from Nairobi. Despite the slow border crossing (same with flying) it was an interesting trip with the mix of people on the bus. When we arrived in Arusha, we were met and taken to our hotel. Paul and our driver/guide Justin later met with us to review he itinerary which was a great idea to avoid any misunderstandings later. It was exactly as planned, 5 days of safari, flight Seronera to Zanzibar and all arrangements in Zanzibar.
We were very pleased with Justin. He was a pleasure to talk with for 5 days and very determined for us to have the best safari possible. Having planned this during the dry season, we had a lot of rain. I would estimate 1”/day. This did make some roads inaccessible, even in a Land Cruiser. The driving was an adventure. Highlights were the Ngorongoro Crater and thousands of wildebeest migrating. Justin always allowed us to set the pace we wanted with animal viewings.
Zanzibar was the perfect wind down to the trip. There were a few glitches with the driver not having all details correct, but it all worked out. Zanzibar was much more mellow than I anticipated. Our guide for walking tour, Moharam, was a retired teacher with wisdom and a sense of humour. After 2 nights in Stone Town we transferred to the beach for a few nights in Matemwe. Life is good.

Perfect!
Excellent service! We decided really last minute to travel to Tanzania and thought maybe there was not enough time. I've contacted Tanzania Roadside Expeditions per email, 5 days later we were flying to Tanzania. Paul, the managing director, was very quick in answering my questions and preparing an itinerary. After we compared their offer to other 5 companies (using SafariBookings,com), we decided for Tanzania Roadside Expeditions because of their good reviews and price. Paul quickly confirmed all accommodations and was very flexible regarding the payment method. Our driver and guide James was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was always on time, gave us so much information about the animals and places we visited. He was also very flexible, leaving it for us to decide when to leave, how long to stay in each place, when to eat, when to stop, etc... Also he seemed to always find the best position for us to see / photograph the animals. The car we used was not new, but was in good condition and not different at all from the other safari companies we saw on the way.

Responsive, Reliable, and Friendly
I booked a private safari (4 days, 3 nights) for a group of nine people with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. The Managing Director, Paul, was very clear and responsive when it came to the quotation and booking. This really put us at ease. When we landed in Arusha to begin our safari, we were greeted with smiles by Paul and the two Driver/Guides, Edwin and Justin. The next four days were amazing, and exceeded our expectations. The guides, who spoke fluent English, handled the roads well in well-maintained vehicles, were knowledgeable about what we were seeing, and were open to our questions and requests. The accommodation was fantastic, including the food, and did their best with some dietary restrictions. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with or recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Roadside Expeditions gave us a great time for a great value.
We did a 9-day tour including a safari and time in Zanzibar. It was the perfect amount of time for us to experience what Tanzania had to offer. Booking was easy, and all our questions were answered. It was so nice to have everything taken care of so we could just enjoy ourselves. Our safari driver, Justin, was wonderful! He was super knowledgeable and amazing at spotting animals (not to mention, great at handling the Land Cruiser)! We saw so many incredible animals. All of our accomodations were comfortable with helpful staff. Paul, our coordinator was also extremely helpful and on top of things. There were a few mix-ups at our final destination in Zanzibar but the resort was able to set things straight. All-in-all it was a good value for the price.
