Our planning and implementation of the trip was through by excellent. travel without worries
Our expectations were more than fulfilled. There was always the possibility during the trip to ask open questions to Five Stars, one answer was very fast. The service was great throughout the trip.
The car was in full swing and the ride itself was a wonderful experience. The lodges were all very well located and the on-site service was great. The lodges were very nice, clean and the staff was very helpful. They could be flexible despite the fixed travel planning, which was very accommodating. Our expectations were more than fulfilled. The different landscapes and animals we saw made the trip very valuable.
Although the many great impressions will be remembered for a long time, we will definitely book a holiday with Five Stars again.

Best Three Days Ever!
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!

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.

Wow customer care experience!!!
Hi World Escapes & Adventures team, Sorry for the delay, but you know how it is coming back after a long vacation! Overall, the trip was wonderful - definitely a bucket list dream come true! Botswana & Namibia, in particular, had been on my bucket list since I was a child. I think this was my first time staying in a Wilderness Safari lodge/camp - definitely impressed. Especially with their premier camps. At times, I could have used 1 more day here or 1 less day there, but generally speaking, 2-3 days seems about right. There were one or two misses in the airport between me & people there to collect me, but usually because they weren't where I expected them to be or I didn't see the sign they had. Mostly, they were in place & we were able to sync up. They definitely helped make the process smoother & easier. At Vumbura Plains, they had a hot bubble bath run for me upon me checking in & going to my room. That made my fricking day! LOL. I posted photos on social media bragging about how they were taking such good care of me! The food was pretty good & fairly consistent throughout.
However, I wasn't impressed with the food at two places primarily - Sabyinyo in Rwanda & Onguma the Fort in Namibia. I realize they are some of the better places to stay in those areas, and maybe that's why I was a bit disappointed in the food - just didn't seem to live up to the hype. Sabyinyo - I would definitely make sure people understand there's a bit of uphill hiking to do to get to the room & around the lodge itself. Combined with the altitude, and/or if you're not physically fit for hiking, just going to your room can tire you out! The boat ride in Swakopmund was a nice contrast to the desert & a chance to try Namibian oysters as well as learn some of the historical & economic aspects of the country. I enjoyed that, as did everyone else. Anyway, those are some things that immediately come to mind. If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to shoot you an email. Thanks for everything!

3 Day Gorilla Trek Safari in Bwindi
Everything was well arranged. When the hotel of our choice was not available, we got several other options recommended by Saso Uganda Safaris, including the pro's and cons of each hotel. The driver was excellent. He knew a lot about wildlife in Uganda, he finally handed us over to the ranger guide to join the trekking team. It was really excitement when we saw the gorillas.
We did not have to worry about anything during the trip, as all was arranged by Saso, except for the weather.

Amazing experience in amazing Uganda!
This was an amazing trip to amazing Uganda with excellent guide Ronald, who was very informative, helpful and communicative, great service in the car (plenty of drinking water, cold beverages, wifi). During our trip we stopped at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and saw many rhinos up-close, then moved to the Murchison Falls National Park with its eye-catching landscape, many animals to see (including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalo) with few tourists around, took boat ride on the river Nile (about 2 hours) and hiked up to the amazing Murchison Falls (took us about 40 minutes, it can be a bit exhausting so take some water). Then we went on a scenic drive through Uganda to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw less animals here than in Murchison Falls, but more animals up-close on our boat ride on the Kazinga channel, which took for about 2 hours.
We highly recommend Kajie Safaris as your tour operator and the Murchison Falls National Park as one of your destinations if you plan a trip to Uganda!

Experience once long for more.
I knew professionalism is only found in other fields until I had an experience with Orange adventures.
The treat was nice, communication of high degree, service like professionals and treating people with high level of royalty. Your choices are dope.
Would love to experience more and more this year.

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
