Amazing Experience, Very Professional
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.

Trip of a lifetime!!
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 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.

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....

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 !

Small company with a very dedicated owner
Paul, the owner of the company, really puts a LOT of effort into planning your safari and make the best out of your stay. The safari itself was amazing and the accommodations fully met/exceeded our expectations. Our driver was very knowledgable, however, he made it very clear that he would rather be with his family (it was around Christmas time). We of course understand this but this put us in a very uncomfortable situation. He only answered our questions but did not tell us a lot by himself. We also booked a beach vacation on Zanzibar with Tanzania Roadside Expedition after our safari. This part we wouldn't book again with them as we had a very unpleasant experience in the hotel booked for us (but Paul was again VERY helpful).
All in all we absolutely loved our experience and think it is very rare that someone puts as much effort into client servicing as Paul does. It was not "perfect" due to some things as listed below but your value for money is great and you sure will have a great vacation if you book 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!

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!
