Very good value for money and a very professional operator
We have booked an 11 day safari through Kenia and Tanzania. Beforehand Big Time Safaris got in touch with us and handled everything very professional.
For the Kenia part Simon was our tour guide, who did an incredible job! He took care of us from the very first minute and we felt very safe driving with him. He gave very good recommendations e.g. to be aware of sellers that are popping up everywhere you stop and to not feel pressured by them.
When it came to game driving Simon was absolutely outstanding! He was very well educated and could tell us all about the animals and their surrounding. He maintained very good communication with the other guides in the park, he knew where to look for animals, he knew when we wanted to take a picture and achieved a great perspective without the need to tell him.
Beware that travelling through so many parks involves a lot of driving on very bumpy roads, which can get really stressful and should not be underestimated. Some days involved 12h of driving on those roads which has to be endured once onboard.
However, when looking back we remember all the great memories we could collect with Simon! Thank you!

Amazing!
My trip with Big Apes Africa is definitely one that will stay on my mind. This trip was organised on short notice with the help of one of the Safari experts at their office in Kampala and within just two weeks, everything was sorted.
Our guide Peter is only knowledgeable but the friendliest I have met.
Without a doubt, this company gave me value for money and more!!!

Ute is a pleasure to work with!!!
We recently returned from our second safari booked through Ute. As with our first trip in 2018 to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, Ute provided a wealth of information and wonderful recommendations for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. Ute was always prompt and courteous when replying to our numerous emails. We would not hesitate to use Ute again!

Wonderful safari: Saadani and Mikumi national parks
It was more than a trip. Matata and his son Sebastian made us discover unique moments thanks to their knowledge of the fauna and flora of their country. We shared unforgettable moments and exchanged conversations around good local dishes. A punctual team, attentive to their customers, we warmly recommend Safari Mojo Matata.

Amazing guide to Uganda!!
I can't recommend this operator enough!!
We contact Richard about a month+ before our trip and from the first conversation we knew we want him to be our guide and organize our trip in Uganda, and it was the best decision we had made!
Richard was very communicative and answered all our question and wonderings.
We had an 11 day trip in Uganda with Richard which were tailored made to our preferences. Richard organized all our accommodations (and they were excellent!), tours and permit. The organization was flawless and Richard made sure everything will go smooth and we'll have everything we need.
We had a few Game Drives with Richard (in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks) that were above everything we expected!
Richard did above and beyond in order to make sure we'll see all big 5 and all other animals.
Richard is a great driver and we felt really safe in the long drives we had with him.
the vehicle was in great shape and very spacious.
Richard is very knowledgeable about Uganda wildlife and culture and we learned a lot from him.
I highly recommend using Richard as your guide in Uganda!
Thank you Richard for unforgettable trip. Can't wait to come back!!

Flawless! The experience was absolutely flawless!
It's difficult when you're from another country to book a safari with a local company. You just never know what you're going to get. That said, Tanzania Roadside Expeditions gave us everything they said they would and more! Everything, everything was perfectly timed. Guides, drivers, everyone involved were where they said they were going to be when they said they were going to be there. The accommodations were perfect...comfortable, and luxurious! The food was excellent!
More importantly the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They found all of the animals we wanted to see. They educated us on them and the ecosystem. The 'safari car was comfortable. All of the bad parts of a safari we had read about...bugs...sun...weather never affected us because of the vehicle.
There is nothing they could have done better! I have already recommended Roadside Tanzania to friends. If you're thinking about a safari; if you're wondering who can trust...trust Roadside Tanzania Expeditions. They are the best!

The best tour guide to see Tanzania with
We loved our tour guide. His name says it all: Godlove. He was patient, calm and knowledgeable and never complained when 3 50 something year-olds were with him. We felt safe and looked after. He even negotiated all our purchases for us and made excellent recommendations. He knew where all the animals of interest were hiding, as if like magic and he took the most amazing pictures. All my friends back home are so jealous. He's the kindest, soft spoken and gentlest of men. When our tour was over we felt like our comfy blanket had been stripped away when we left. We will never forget this trip because of beautiful and amazing Tanzania and our perfect tour guide.
