Very knowledgeable and friendly!
The tour was very informative. The family at the homestead was welcoming and we had adequate time to ask questions. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the culture outside of the touristy areas.

Wonderful safari experience
Wonderful safari experience with our guide (Siya, BAHATI SAFAIRI'S manager) and his cook (Hamad). Both are great guys, simple and professional. Every day we had nice breakfast, lunch and diners made by Hamad. We had one breakfast and one lunch in the middle of nowhere (we agreed to it, always on safe places). The lodge booked by Siya was align with our expectations. As proposed by Siya, we recommend having only one place to stay. It simplifies logistics for all gives more time for the safari game.Every days Siya found animals to observe, most of the time we were few vehicles at the same place, several times we were alone with lions, cheetahs, zebras or giraffes. It was just unbelievable. We saw a tribe of 100 to 200 elephants, an ongoing line of gnus and zebra migrating to SERENTI, a 7 lions family resting in the middle of nowhere, lots of cheetahs, lots of zebras, gazelles, impalas, buffalos, hyenas and hippopotamus. We also saw a rhinoceros (using binoculars), a wild cat, leopards, flamingos, and lots of different birds.On top of the safari, Siya organize the airport pick-up (at Kilimajaro), the first hotel night, a Massai village visit and a local village visit. In total, we spend 3 days and nights in SERENGETI and one day in NGORONGO crater. For our family (4 people) it was the perfect timing.

Very professional and very helpful by making appropriate suggestions
Our guide Kennedy has the eye to find the most discreet animals and the most extraordinary situations! He had a lot of experience. That's why we were able to observe an incredible number of animals close by the car. Also, and we were among the first cars to see a wildebeests crossing (thousand of them). That was the main attraction that I want to see and the purpose of my safari. Thanks to our very professional guide.

Magical
We went on our Honeymoon with Meru Slopes & Tours for a 8 day Safari. 5 stars is not enough, I would give you 100 stars if I could! We did our Safari with Jacob, who had been not just our guide but a real friend. The service given by Meru from the very first contact has been more than 5 stars. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, local Masai tribe, local village tour and the Materuni Waterfalls and coffee plantation. Every day has been like a dream and we had the best experience we could dream off. Jacob does everything to spot the animals and has eyes like a robot. All accommodations were beautiful and of a high standard. Great and delicious lunches and amazing dinners. I would like to once again thank Meru Slopes and Geoffrey for the great experience and a special BIG BIG thank you to my friend Jacob (Jambo, Jambo bwana). All the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tarangire and Ngorongoro at its best
We booked a 4 day Safari and discovered the Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Lake Manyara. We had such a wonderful time with amazing, breathtaking views of Tanzanias wildlife and landscapes. A heartfelt thanks to our guide Lemomo, who didn‘t only show us the secrets of nature but gave us a deep insight into the the Massai history and culture as well.
100% recommended !
Many, many thanks and best wishes.

Well organised and friendly
This trip was amazing from the moment we were collected from the airport until we were dropped off. Our driver Lewis and guide Simon were very friendly and genuinely seemed interested in us personally as well as asking us our priorities of what we wished to see the most. My dietary needs were catered for every day . (except for lactose free milk which seemed to be unheard of in any part of the country). The accommodation was clean with very friendly staff.
Each day we were collected promptly and the tours were absolutely wonderful. The days are long and very good value for money. We saw so much wildlife close up both from the vehicles and from the boat trip. This was the trip of my childhood dreams and it came true.

Eliud is a seasoned safari guide, good driver, and was considerate of toddlers and grandparents.
Eliud is a very lucky driver - we saw everything we wanted to including wildebeest migration, a leopard, and many, many lions. He was well prepared to change a flat and was flexible with our requests including restroom breaks and returns to camp for my young kids and their grandparents. He is knowledgeable about animals, the Masai Mara, and seems to know the other safari guides and rangers well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Eliud!

Wealth of knowledge, accommodating and incredibly kind.
I booked this 6 days safari trip based on my brother’s recommendation, with his fiancé. My brother recommended Paul to me and so we exchanged Wats app and email contacts, and it was smooth sailing from then on. He tailored everything to our needs and lodges based on our preferences. My partner was so scared of lions and not into safari what’s so ever, but Paul put him at ease with Wats app calls before we even embarked on this trip.
Our guide was Walter who was ever so knowledgeable; felt like he had a PhD in animal psychology. He further put my partner at ease, and his wealth of knowledge about the animal kingdom made the trip even more fascinating.
Walter also catered to our every need and tailored things to our timing and we managed to see absolutely everything with no stone left unturned.
The luxury lodges were simply breathtaking. The staff so polite and welcoming. We were assigned a host at every lodge. They were clean and the cuisines were exquisite in the most amazing settings.
One of the lodges provided BBQ in luxury tent.
The views to the wild from our balconies were just spectacular. I enjoyed a cup of tea or a bath in tranquility just gazing at the view and being in the moment.
My partner and I would like to spend more time at each lodge next time and enjoy the retreat. I was so in tuned with nature and where we humans all come from.
The Maasai tribe were there patrolling and looking after us, since they are so skilled in fending off the party crashers, ie. leopards who waltz in at happy hour! Lol.
We felt incredibly safe at all times and even my initially super nervous partner was put at ease and in total comfort.
Visit the Maasai village and learn about the skills of fire making and dancing traditions of this incredibly kind tribe.
Do purchase some handicraft from them to support them as it would be sad to see these tribes disappear in the modern world.
Don’t forget to visit the coffee plantations and be given a tour and sip a cuppa too. Being a coffee lover myself, it gave me a greater appreciation of my cup of coffee every morning.
In a nutshell, I was in tears when I saw the wildebeest and zebra migration. Just seeing how the animals interact and their behaviour takes you to the core of human existence.
I cried at the breakfast table upon our last day at the lodge because I was touched by the generosity, warmth and genuine acts of kindness of the people I met.
I also had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes and we gave our guide a big hug goodbye. I simply couldn’t find enough words of gratitude.
Thank you Paul, Walter and team at Tanzania roadside expeditions for making this an unforgettable and educational trip for us.
We will return.

Great experience, big adventure!
We organised a safari with the help of Tanzania Roadside and it was a great adventure. Our guide Idriss was very nice and always ready to answer all our questions. We had such a great time with him on our trip. He was also very good with spotting animals and finding good spots for taking photos.
We spent together almost 5 days, visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Arusha and Lake Manyara.
We can totally recommend organizing a safari with them. It's a local company with good approach to the customers.
All the communication with the company run very professionaly and smoothly.
