Dream tour
When I was booking the safari, the owner Paul was very helpful and clearly informed me with all plans, distances etc. He replied very fast and in details. When we came to Arusha the guide- Ezekiel- was waiting for us, and its started!
On the first day we saw Masai village and then came to the lodge. The drive was safe and exent. Ezekiel explained the Masai culture showed us more viliges, and answered a lot of questions. On safari was amazing! It was spectacular view, he knew exactly when the animals were, showed us even those, hidden. Without Ezekiel we would see maybe 10% of all. Great, amazing knowledge and kindness of our guide! For sure we have seen more than we expected!

Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar - Organization of itinerary by Paul & Safari guide James both incredible!
Tanzania Roadside Expeditions Service is amazing!
Communications from first contact, making travel arrangements - ongoing during the vacation, as well as after our trip - were prompt and accommodating. Drivers organized by Paul were always on time and very friendly. Paul customized our African experience to suit our needs exactly as requested.
James, our Safari driver is the best in the business. He located and identified every species that we wanted to see and much, much more. His kind, thoughtful, respectful mannerism endeared us immensely. He always patiently waited while we photographed the wildlife that we saw, no matter how long it took to get the desired photo. He is a true professional.
We cannot express enough how much these 2 gentlemen went above and beyond our expectations to make our safari tour a cherished life-time memory.
If you wish to experience a memorable African safari, we strongly recommend that you book with this company.

I will for sure recommend Roadside Expeditions to my friends.
Our famiy had a seven-day safari in northern Tanzania, including Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi/Hadzabe, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Overall, the safari was organized very well and exceeded my expectation.
1. The communication via email was very smooth during the planning stage. Paul provided lots of useful information and answered lots of questions in a prompt way.
2. Our guide Ezekiel is fatanstic. He is always considerate, patient, and meanwhile knowledgeable about animals, plants and local things. During the game drives, he could find the right location and timing so that we were able to spot the cheetah hunting, the lions resting beside the road, and the big migaration running just in front our car!
3. We took the safari in the rain season. However, there was not too much rain this year and we only experienced raining three times, twice at midnight and once in the afternoon while driving on the crater rim. Basically the rain season has no impact on our safari - road condition was good, mosquito was rare, and animals were easy to find.
Holiday of a lifetime!
Wow, what an amazing trip! A massive thank you to the guys at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for delivering the holiday of a lifetime. From the pre-booking support (apologies for the 100 questions!) to the safari and then to our final few days in Zanzibar it was very well planned and delivered. Our guides were amazing, Ezekiel in particular who was our guide on safari, and extremely knowledgeable creating a truly immersive experience. What really stood out was the personal attention given to us to make sure everything went according to plan.
Many thanks and we are already planning our next trip to Tanzania! We’ll be in touch!

Great safari with Ezekiel!
Paul, the manager, helped us very well from the start to make a tailor-made journey. He was very helpful and responded quickly.
We had the pleasure of experiencing a 6-day safari with Ezekiel, our very friendly guide. We did Lake Manyara, 2 days Serengeti, 2 days Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He gave a lot of information about the different national parks, the animals and the culture. All very interesting .. He succeeded in showing us the big five. Nothing was too much for him. Ezekiel answered all our questions and stopped whenever we wanted to take a photo. He also gave a briefing every day so we knew what to expect. Very professional in short.
We want to thank them very much for this experience.
We advise everyone to travel to Tanzania with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

Amazing vacation!
We couldn't choose a better Safari Agency. "Tanzania Roadside Expeditions" was perfect for us. Paul was always eager to answer all our questions and in a very fast way (I must say). It was like he was online all the time. :) We felt like we already have a friend, even we meet only when we get there.
We put so many questions (because for such an adventure there is a lot of logistics to set) but Paul answered very calmly to all. And the most important thing, he tried to find a solution to all our problems. Thank you, Paul, for everything! Asante sana!
Tanzania is a country that should be visited at least once in the life time (in my opinion) and if you are lucky to have Edwin to be your guide it will be perfect. Yes , you heard well: Edwin won our hearts! He is so kind, calm, friendly, sensible, patient. He also has a good heart! He is like an Encyclopedia. You will quickly understand that he is a very experienced guide. He helped us see all the things we wanted to see. You have to trust him and his abilities because he really knows what he's doing. But the most important thing it was that we felt all the time that we were in vacation with a very good friend. We will really miss you, Edwin! Nakutakia kila la heri!
About safari (it means Journey in swahili)...
We stayed 3 nights (4 days) in 3 different types of accomodation: Kudu Camp - Lodge (superb), Kati-Kati Tented Camp (best safari experience possible!) and Rhino Lodge (cosy and quiet).
The car (Toyota Land Cruiser modified) was very comfortable and very strong for those kind of roads.
Food: very good; european-american style but you find also local type of food.
Experience: fabulous! We saw all the animals and landscapes that we planned to see.
Logistics: transfer, contacts and all other things ran smoothly.
Tip: have patience and trust your guide!

What an experience... waooohhhh !
In order to prepare our trip to Tanzania we had asked in English (we are french) several proposals/ estimates for a 6/7 days safari in the north to different specialised agencies based in Arusha and Dar Es Salaam. Paul was the first to answer, very reactive, he sent us a very detailed proposal with precise estimate and he sent us a message via WhatsApp to inform us that he answered : we appreciated this fast answer but we waited for other answers to finally decide... while waiting we asked Paul for some changes and number of questions : on the same fast way he adapted the schedule with new proposals to suit us better... we finally choosed to work with him, his project perfectly suiting us, he even proposed us a guide speaking french that we did’nt ask ! Once arrived we had confirmation that we made the good choice ! Paul in person and our guide, Kennedy, waited for us at the airport where we arrived from Selous In the south. Very positive first impression and then all went fantastic : Kennedy very soon showed a very interesting personality. He was attentive, very good company, he can speak also fluent English and Spanish. He is a prudent and very experienced driver On these difficult roads in the parks and reserves. He also informed us very well about wildlife and animals, but as well answered all our questions about the country itself, it’s lifestyle, economy, politics etc... he was flexible in the timings to suit us and in all circumstances had an expert eye to make us find animals when they were mostly hidden. All accommodations chosen by Paul, lodges and camps were different but all of them top in each style. Thanks to Paul and Kennedy our safari experience in north Tanzania was fascinating and perfectly satisfied our expectations. CONGRATULATIONS !

Amazing experience
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....
