Perfect balance!
This was our first (5-day) Safari and it was truly magical. Paul, the owner of Roadside, was extremely responsive in the time leading up to our trip, and James, our tour guide, very knowledgable, without being imposing. He was able to answer any question we had about the animals, nature or the country and provided extremely interesting background information about Tanzania and its people that you cannot find in a guide book. At the same time, he left us our space to just soak up the experience without constant "entertainment". For us, the perfect balance. Also the itinerary and lodges were ideal. In sum, there is nothing we would have done differently - a perfect first safari really.

Highly responsive to pretrip questions and very accommodating
We had a wonderful tour with Paul Justine, and his excellent guide, Justin. We spent six days on safari and visited three of the national parks. We were able to see the wildebeest great migration in the western Serengeti (not always guaranteed!), as well as many lion prides, leopards, and even a cheetah having his lunch, so to speak. Plus many other amazing species. There were just two of us, so it meant less negotiating with others as far as how days were spent. Probably the best way to do it. This time of year (early June) was also good, because the larger summer crowds had not yet sit in, but the dry season was already underway. The lodges didn’t feel crowded. Our driver / guide was very accommodating throughout our trip, and clearly had a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and their behavior patterns. We would recommend this to safari tour company wholeheartedly.

Exceptional
I cannot speak more highly about this Expedition. I went to a tour spanning 3 locations Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar over 9 days.
I honestly had everything covered. Paul is an excellent manager who was available 24/7 from a year prior to the safari (when we first booked it) until the last day as we flew back.
The team was OUTSTANDING we felt safe, and taken care of at all times and all accomodations were unbelievably well priced
Thank you so Much
I would recommend our game drivers who were exceptional

Awesome
We were assisted by Paul to plan and help make all the arrangements including hotels. Our safari guide Idris was very professional and amazing as well. We saw the big five and a lot more. My kids really enjoyed the holiday.

A safari beyond dreams! Perfectly organized, best safari guides you can imagine, very fair price
Our safari experience with Tanzania Roadside Expedition was an absolute dream come true. From the very start, their meticulous organization of transport and hotels ensured a hassle-free adventure. The pricing was incredibly reasonable, offering exceptional value for such a comprehensive experience.
The brilliance of the tour guides was a highlight of our journey. Their extensive knowledge and passion for the wildlife and the regions we explored were evident. They didn't just guide us; they educated us about the countries, the people, and their cultures, adding depth to our adventure. Their instinct for spotting wildlife was uncanny, leading us to breathtaking encounters with the 'Big Five' and much more.
The range of accommodations was another aspect that made our safari unique. Each lodge and camp had its distinct charm, ensuring that every stay was a memorable part of our journey. From the luxurious comforts to the rustic elegance, each place added a special flavor to our experience.
The wildlife encounters throughout our safari were nothing short of spectacular. The balloon safari over the Serengeti was a standout experience, offering us a bird's-eye view of the vast, sprawling savanna. It was a moment of pure magic that we'll never forget.
We were also impressed with the level of service provided by the tour operator. Even before booking, they were incredibly supportive, accommodating our wishes and needs with kindness and professionalism. This level of attention continued throughout our safari.
The itinerary was perfectly tailored to our interests. Starting in Nairobi and the Masai Mara, we were thrilled by the great wildebeest migration. Moving to the northern Serengeti, we witnessed the dramatic river crossings. In the central Serengeti, the abundance of wildlife, especially the big cats, was a sight to behold. Our journey through the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park, before concluding in Arusha, was filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife encounters.
In summary, this safari with Tanzania Roadside Expedition was more than just a trip; it was the best experience of our lifetime. The combination of exceptional guides, diverse accommodations, spectacular wildlife, and outstanding service made this a journey we will always cherish. We wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expedition to anyone seeking an unforgettable African adventure.

Excellent tour operator did a great job w/ short notice, tight budget & specific dates.
I very highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD, Zephania Abduel and our knowledgeable and lovely safari guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania for making our bucket-list African holiday a dream come true. This trip was amazing despite our relatively tight budget, only 2 months advance planning with specific dates of travel, lodging needs for a room with 3 adult beds, and hopes for 50/50 safari and resort style vacation which required flights as well.
We actually asked for quotes from a handful of other companies, most of which were either slow to respond, had high quotes out of our range, or said they could not help us due to the short time frame. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions replied immediately and said they could help us. Zephania met with us via Zoom so he could clearly understand our specific needs. (I think he works 24/7 because he was always responsive within a few hours.) He planned the itinerary and booked a vacation package that was perfect for us.
Zephania took care of our ride from the airport to the hotel and included our requested ‘jetlag’ day before we started our safari. We saw 3 different safari parks with different lodging types between Kenya and Tanzania which were all amazingly unique and wonderful. Everyone was so friendly, and we felt very safe. Our guides, Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania, were so helpful and shared their vast knowledge with us inside the parks regarding the animals (got us so close to the animals) and outside of the parks in regard to teaching us about the people and their different cultures.
Zephania’s associate met us in Zanzibar to for our final part of our vacation. We had a tour and snorkeling and plenty of pampering and scuba diving for several days, all of which was perfect.
I cannot more highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD with Zephania Abduel and guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezikiel Maasai in Tanzania. They provided excellent service.

Top service, guide with long experience and knowledge. The safari met all our expectations. Super!
We are very satisfied with everything, they tailored our Safari according to our preferences (family with 2 kids, age 9 and 12), communication was very smooth and service excellent. Our driver James had so much knowledge about the wildlife and the parks we visited (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and he was very responsive to our needs and wishes.
The safari met all our expectations and we warmly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions to anyone planning for a Safari in Tanzania. Thank you so much, Paul and James!

Great experience
The whole experience with Roadside Expeditions was unforgettable. Starting from the very initial interactions with Paul, when he suggested few options for our safari and gave us a choice depending on our budget, till the very last moment of our trip. Definitely go with James (our guide) - he was the best. He has a great eye for spotting animals and we were lucky to see all Big Five, including a rhino (with a rhino-baby) and James was the first one to spot them in the crater that day, just few minutes before we had to leave. The car was equipped with the radio, which is very helpful for guides to share information and not to miss important things.
Since it was also our honeymoon & my husband’s birthday - James and Paul arranged some nice surprises for us and my husband on his birthday! Truly amazing experience - amazing lodges, great roadside adventures!
