Amazing safari in Tanzania
Thanks Paul for the most fantastic holiday one can ever think about when booking with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions! Everything turned out magic! Although the flight arrived 2 hours late the driver was there picking us up. You offered us a late dinner out in town at a local place after arrival as a gesture for the inconvenience and showing us great hospitality, which after all turned out to be a terrific start! The safari was perfectly organized with a very knowledgeable and service minded driver/guide. 5 stars out of 5 will be our grade! We will definitely recommend your company for reliability and excellent service! Best regards Karl E Bengtsson with family, Stockholm, Sweden.

Paul was very helpful with planning our safari and responded very quickly to our questions.
The safari was truly well organized, we enjoyed it very much.
They picked good accommodations and the food they served was beyond our expectations.
We had a great guide/ driver Justin, who was always making sure we are happy and getting the best customer servise. He was very nice and explained to us a lot about animals and he knew all the good spots, where to find animals. We have seen the big 5 (although the rhinos only from very far).
Also Justin took very good care of us when our car broke down after game drive towards our hotel. He made us feel like nothing even happend, because within 5 minutes after break down another car took us to hotel. Although they fixed the car, company sent another car just to be 100% sure we are good to go for our last day. Very well handled:)

As in other reviews mentioned the jeeps are a bit older (also by other operators).

Excellent service, accommodation and itinerary
We received very prompt replies to our requests to personalise our itinerary for our Tanzanian safari. Having been met on our arrival at the airport, James, our driver and guide, ensured we had a great trip, visiting various National Parks and seeing amazing wildlife. The accommodation was much better than anticipated and we wanted for nothing during our week's trip. Early June was a good time to visit as it was relatively quiet, the animals were not sheltering from the hot sun, and it was a comfortable temperature with no mosquitoes! Have no hesitation in recommending them.

Wonderful good quality Safari experience
Paul was very helpful in providing details and responding to questions before the trip. A detailed itinerary was sent out to us months before.
Payment was very smooth and was done in cash at the start of the safari trip. Very trustworthy safari.
Justin who was our driver was really helpful, and brought us around safely. He also made the extra effort to help us spot the Rhino when he could have easily brought us back to the hotel and end his day. 5 star service.

A journey to paradise
My friends and I decided to visit Tanzania during the month of November 2019. We started researching on the tour advisors in early June and picked the Tanzania Roadside Expedition considering all the reviews. We reached out to Paul and obtained a quote for the trip. Since then, we have constantly bugged Paul with changes, requests and questions. Paul was very patient with our questions and accommodated all our requests. We made certain changes to the itinerary and also got a revised reduced fee quote from Paul.
We reached Arusha and were promptly greeted by an agent from the Tanzania Roadside Expedition. He drove us to Arusha to our stay where we met Paul. Paul was very informative and ensured that he briefed us well specifying all the dos and don’ts. The arrangements were well done and our every need was catered to. We covered Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti and Masai Mara. During our journey from Ngorongoro to Serengeti, we stopped at a Masai village to get an experience of the Masai culture. We travelled around in land cruiser. Our vehicles (in Tanzania and Kenya) had rangers radio which our guides used to communicate with other guides to discuss animal sightings. We also carried lunch boxes everyday (great food for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians).
James was our driver/tour guide for 6 days in Tanzania and Peter for 2 days in Kenya.
James comes with 15 years of experience in the field. He was very informative, knowledgeable and professional. He brought in his experience to our trip which made it not just interesting, but also successful. We got to see many varieties of animals and birds. James could spot some miles away even without a binoculars. He could name all species with ease. He was also very familiar with the areas and thus knew where he could find good sightings. The best thing about James was that he was an environment friendly person. We could see his love and respect for nature during our trip. We had such a good time with James that we made a friend for life. We will surely return to spend more time in Tanzania with James.
Peter was very expressive. He had friends all over the place. He was talkative and always kept us entertained. He was our lucky charm. We got to see fights between two lion prides, saw the oldest Lion (Scarface), collaboration of 5 Cheetahs, a Cheetah with 7 cubs and quite a few leopard sightings which was very rare. Peter was very casual and fun to interact with. Though we spent only 2 days with Peter, we got very comfortable around him.
Overall, it was an amazing trip. We were sad to come back. But looking forward for our next trip with Tanzania Roadside Expedition.

Serengeti / Ngorongoro / Tarangire / Lake Manyara private safari
We had an amazing time in the Serengeti / Ngorongoro / Tarangire / Lake Manyara for our private safari in November 2019. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was very responsive at all times and organized everything very well. The accomodations were very good, especially our camp in the middle of the Serengeti, which was a perfect location. Our guide was amazing - knowledgeable, super friendly, helpful and fun! Highly recommended and hope to be back soon. Thank you!

Amazing 6-day safari lead by a knowledgeable & friendly guide!
First off, Paul was an amazing contact to have as we were choosing and booking safaris. He was very accommodating and attentive to many questions we had. The hotels we booked were nice, but we did notice that if the hotel isn't very full, you do order off a menu. We thought they all had buffets. I have a gluten allergy, and some places were more accommodating that others. Dinner was easy to accommodate, but most packed-lunches were subpar, just filled with fruit. I would suggest being more vocal and specific about any needs or requests.
Our guide, James, was great the whole trip! He was extremely knowledgeable and amazing at spotting the animals. We always felt comfortable on the road with him, and he answered every single one of our questions! We saw EVERY animal possible, including all of the Big Five. James made sure that we made it over to any big event or rare animal. We were able to see the wildebeest migration too!
I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!!

Well managed, friendly operation
Excellent communications and advice from Paul, and a pleasure to sit with him and discuss final details on arrival at Arusha.
Straightforward pickup from Kilimanjaro Airport and delivery to locaL hotel.
Excellent game drives through Manyara and Tarangire, including sightings of leopard and forest elephants.
Outstanding day in Ngorongoro Crater, so much life including a lion pestering a black rhino.
Tioma Lodge was a beautifully situated hotel in a forest in the hills with excellent food and friendly staff.
I thought a reasonable price for the trip.
We'd book with them again.

My best birthday
I had already made up my mind to have my 70th birthday in safari in Africa. I wanted to see all those animals so right place would be Serengeti in Tazania. We had a big party of nine and chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We very a bit anxious about the safari but that turned out to be vain. Already in the Arusha airport we had a very good reception and we found out that we had made the right choice about the safari company. We had two cars and excellent drivers to both. Edwin drove our car and besides all the driving and animal lookout he knows the birds very fine. Justin was driving the other car and he was also very good. Paul is running the company and he was very effective with us. He even arranged two birthday parties fo me, so the first one was during the breakfast and the other in the evening during the dinner. He really made the day unforgettable. All the accomodations was very good from Arusha to Segentegi and we saw lots of animals. We were even lucky to see the big migration. So I can recommed the Tanzania Roadside Expeditons. We had a wonderful experience with them.
