What an experience... waooohhhh !
5/5

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
5/5

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....

Amazing safari in Tanzania
5/5

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.

Trip of a lifetime!!
5/5

Without any hesitation I would recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Paul and his team went above and beyond to provide a most memorable adventure while considering our safety and comfort at all times. This was a top priority because we were traveling with our young children and I was very anxious about this trip. Paul planned a 3 week journey for us which met my many, many, many requests (sorry Paul!) He was very patient and did all he could to make this trip a journey of a lifetime!! All of our drivers in the different regions we traveled (Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar) were extremely knowledgeable, courteous and very experienced. They ensured our safety and comfort at all times. Paul booked comfortable accommodations and made sure our needs were met at all times. He also made himself available while we were travelling and communicated immediately. I was also impressed that Paul and Mary made an effort to meet us twice to make us most welcome and at home in Arusha. Thank you so much to Paul and his team! Our family will be talking about this trip for many years to come! We hope to return to the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania soon!
Much appreciation - The Tynan Family

Amazing Experience, Very Professional
5/5

Great experience for a 3 day trip (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) for a group of 10. Our accommodations at Kudu Lodge were also amazing and caught us all by surprise. The communication and level of service were professional.

The food during the safari (lunch boxes), albeit industry standard since all the other cars had similar looking boxes, tasted ok.

All in all a quality trip. I would definitely go with this company again! They were even kind enough to arrange airport drop off and a Maji Moto Trip en route to the airport.

Best Three Days Ever!
5/5

We had a group of 10 (Canadians and Tanzanians) who used TRE for a 3-day safari. They picked us up at our hostel in Arusha, and took us to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.

Our two drivers; Ezekiel and Idris were amazing! They were able to pick out all the big animals on the safari and made sure we were able to see everything. They were also super informative and were able to tell us about the area, history, people, culture and so much more.

A great experience, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for guides!

Great experience
5/5

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!

Top service, guide with long experience and knowledge. The safari met all our expectations. Super!
5/5

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!

I don't usually write this kind of reviews, but Paul told us and he was so kind, I could not say no.
What to add when everything is perfect? Our questions were fast answered, they were waiting when we arrived at the airport, ther was no hidden charge, the guide was very nice... also the tents, the food...
I hope to come back soon!
Asante sana
