Beach to bush amazing experience
5/5

We are very satisfied with the service provided by Tanzania Roadside Expedition.
Paul, the owner of the company help us to put our itinerary to our satisfaction.
He was always in contact with us answering our questions promptly and giving us all information we needed. He came to meet us on our arrival in Arusha and introduce James, our safari driver and guide. We were so happy with James’s service, he was very knowledgeable guide and excellent driver. He always tried to show us as many animals as possibly and to tell us all about their habits. We spent wonderful 8 days on safari with James.

The best! Hands down.
5/5

Look no further! This is the safari tour package you NEED to book. I had absolutely no idea what to expect; I have traveled quite a bit throughout Europe and US however was not quite sure what to expect traveling to Tanzania. Whatever expectations I had were BLOWN AWAY! From the start, Paul was receptive, informative, fair and quick to respond. Any/all questions were quickly eased by Paul who made this entire transaction (scheduling, payment, pick-up, drop-off, etc) as simple as it could get. To make things exceptionally more comforting, Paul was just as receptive when I arrived as he was simply providing quotes. Moving on to the guide (very important as they will be with you 24/7 on the trip; driving, eating and sleeping at the same lodges with you). Our guide was Ezekiel, a 29 year old self described conservationist who couldn't be any more passionate about being a guide. Ezekiel happily answered my relentless bombardment of questions and did so with a big smile every time! We really clicked on the trip and enjoyed spending every moment with Ezekiel! This is the tour guide to use; I couldn't be any happier with our experience and would recommend them to anyone, of all ages. What an experience! Special recognition to both Paul and Ezekiel!!

Amazing Honeymoon Safari experience
5/5

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

Paul was very attentive to our needs before going especially with covid details
5/5

Paul set up a great trip for us on our first time to Africa. He was very attentive to our needs and questions before arriving especially with Covid requirements
On the safari Justin our guide was awesome. We saw the big 5, cheetahs, a lion hunt. I am not sure we missed anything. The accommodations were amazing. Maramboi tented lodge is an experience and the Melia chain of hotels were first class.
I would highly recommend Paul and his company. I thought it was a class act he came to the hotel the first night to meet us in person and go over everything anc introduce Justin

Amazing experience with Roadside
5/5

We read many of the reviews written here by previous travellers and decided to go with Roadside. I will tell you this: the reviews are all TRUE! From the very beginning Paul was attentive and replied to our needs in an excellent manner and rapidly. We ended up making a 7 days, 6 nights Safari and the praise for each of the people we met during our adventures won't never be enough.
I would recommend anyone to go now and live a lifetime experience, probably due to COVID there is not much tours on the parks so you will have a better, very intimate tour... our tour guide, Fred has an incredible eagle sight and we could see all the things we imagined, and more.

Tanzania Roadside Expedions is an excellent Safari Operator.
5/5

We are so glad that we chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions as our Safari Operator. We had two guides, one was driving and the other explained a lot about the national parks and the animals. Both were absolutely excellent! We saw so many animals in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, which are beautiful parks. In addition our guides took very good care for us. For example they drove over 25km in the middle of the night to bring a doctor to our accomodation when one of us was sick. We are very happy that we had such amazing and experienced guides! We absolutely recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

Amazing 4 Day Private Safari with Roadside
5/5

We spent 4 days on safari with Roadside and our guide Emanuel. It was a great experience in Tarangire NP, Southern Serengeti (Ndutu) and Ngorongoro Crater. The most impressive thing was to experience the wildebeest and zebra migration with tens of thousands of wildebeest and hundreds of zebras. For me, it was one of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life. We saw eight of the big nine animals. Even lions in a tree, a cheetah, many elephants, two big male lions up close, many rhinos in the Ngorongoro.... We always felt comfortable, safe and happy. Emanuel is a great guide and Paul is a great manager. The accommodations were fantastic, especially Katikati Tented Camp. Emanuel and Paul went out of their way to make the safari a great experience. Communication with Paul was always very quick and he answered all our questions. We learned some basics in Swahili and loved learning about the animals, nature, but also the people from Emanuel. Thank you very much for everything. Asante Sana. Tutaonana :)

Roadside Tanzania helped us make the safari a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
5/5

A safari had been on our wish list for many years. Roadside Tanzania helped us make it a beautiful and unforgettable experience.

Paul was great in explaining details of the options and was very flexible in adapting the itinerary to include what we wanted to see within the days available.

Once we arrived in Tanzania we were welcomed by our guide Justin & guide-in-training Arnold. They took care of us from start till end as if we were family and the best of friends.

Arnold seemed more than ready to lead safaris on his own already!

Justin amazed us with his thorough knowledge of Tanzania, the parks and the animals; his eye to spot animals; his constant efforts to ensure we saw as many animals as possible; his patience even with the never ending questions from our 7 year old - even joining in her dance routines.

Justin, Paul, Arnold - Ahsante for making this such a beautiful trip.

Responsive and Accommodating Operator and an Unforgettable Experience!
5/5

Working with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and Paul to set up the safari was a great experience. Paul was very responsive and always patient with the questions I had. This trip was organized as part of my honeymoon and Paul must've put in a good word at the lodges we stayed at because there was always a little something for us to make the trip extra special. What a nice touch!

Our safari guide, Sele, was amazing! Sele is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable, and hard working people we had the privilege of spending 3 days with. He was always excited to go for our game drives and able to see animals from a distance. He put us in some pretty incredible positions to experience the wildlife and make memories that will last my wife and I's lifetime.

Overall, booking with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone else considering this operator!
