Fantastic company, great pricing but, very hig quality service
We had a really great time with the company. The drivers and guides are very patient, professional and knowledgeable. Naite replied to my emails very promptly which made me feel better as I had a lot of questions. They also went out of their way to help us. I had an issue with customs so, I called her and helped me out.
she answered my questions honestly and she made us feel like family

Outstanding! I highly recommend Tanzania Roadshow Expeditions!
I spent quite a long time searching for a tour operator to organize my trip to Africa. I chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions because I was amazed at how quickly they responded to my inquiry. Paul, the owner, was incredibly fast, flexible, and accommodating. I added and removed things from the original tour multiple times until I made it exactly as I wanted. Paul was attentive to every whim of mine without ever complaining about the frequent changes. He answered all my questions and was always available whenever I needed him. He even had to make a last-minute change to our tour because the airline changed our flight. From the initial planning stages to our final day, Paul was with us every step of the way. He even took the time to check in with us at the end of our journey, wishing us a safe trip home.
The tour was beautifully organized, and the camps were nothing short of spectacular. Nestled right in the heart of the parks, the camps offered an authentic experience surrounded by nature. It was truly magical when zebras and wildebeests visited us during the night, making the whole experience even more unforgettable.
Our guides, Dominic in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania, were simply outstanding. Their deep knowledge of the wildlife and the landscape, combined with their infectious enthusiasm, brought every moment to life. They were always smiling, in great spirits, and went out of their way to ensure that we had the best possible experience. Their passion for what they do was evident in every detail, and they made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight.
If you’re looking for a hassle-free journey where you don’t have to worry about anything and can just enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, turn to Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

It was an amazing tour with great food.
It was a beautiful tour through the landscapes of Tanzania. Baraka was a great guide and was able to answer all of our questions. I also have to praise Pius. He took care of the food, which was delicious. We felt completely at ease and were able to concentrate fully on the safari.

Incredible
My friends and I spent 4 days in the Masai Mara and Nakuru, and we had an incredible time! With Twiga, everything well-organized from pickup to drop-off.
We saw countless wild animals, and our guide, James, provided us with detailed information about each one. It was absolutely worth the price, and we’re still in awe of the experience! We highly recommend doing a private safari tour with James.
He answered all our questions and knew the best spots in the Masai Mara. We even got to witness the wildebeests crossing the Mara River. Thank you for everything and we'll come back soon!

Best trip and tour experience ever!
This was the best 2 week trip ever! We travel extensively and we were amazed by this tour company. The owner Frank did a super job customizing our 2 week trip to fit in the Chimpanzee, Colobus, Gorilla, and Golden Monkey Treks, 4 nights in Akagera, and so much more. Our driver guide, Sufiane, was amazing. They worked together to make changes as needed based on our needs. He made sure we could get awesome photos and had a great time. We had fantastic and comfortable accommodations, incredible food, and felt very safe. Using them was the best decision ever. We can't wait to go back!

Good service from agent; poor game drives
Booked 2 nights (4 game drives) at Xanatseni Lodge in the Klaserie Game Reserve, part of greater Kruger, through this company. Working with the agent was easy, and he was helpful with changing dates/last minute booking. The lodging, food, and airport transfer were great; however, the game drives (you know, the whole point of the thing) were pitiful. In fact, every person I told about my safari afterward was shocked that someone could see such few animals over four game drives, particularly during a peak month such as August, despite paying around $1000 for two nights and suggestion from my agent that the lodge was a solid place for animal sightings (I had expressed concern that it would not provide ample game viewing opportunities, and I was correct). I did not see a single predator—no lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, etc. Only some rhinos and a hippo in addition to very common sightings like elephants, giraffes, zebras, etc. A couple of the game drives were oddly redundant/unproductive and each one started later than scheduled (two of them 30 minutes later because it was “too hot” and did not end any later). I actually saw the same variety of animals and some rarer ones (incl cats) during a single game drive in Etosha (organized separately). To be clear, I understand that a safari can be a game of odds, but it is hard not to feel ripped off after paying $1000 for sightings you could get during a drive from the airport, and this review will hopefully serve as a helpful data point for anyone trying to determine their odds in the future.

Safari trip of a lifetime
We had such a great family trip to Maasai Mara, and James was an integral part of ensuring everything went well. Despite finalizing our trip late and too close to peak season, James was super communicative and responsive, and able to craft a custom itinerary for us and secure rooms at the Entim Mara luxury tented camp. Our parents and kids enjoyed the safari drives with our Maasai guide James (different James!), who helped us spot 4 of the Big 5, besides countless other animals and wild life. Director James even personally came to check on us and wish us goodbye at the conclusion of our trip. Highly recommend Twinkle Star Tours and Safari!

Great experience!
Me and my friend went in both Kilimanjaro and Safari with weltweit adventures and we had an amazing experience. On the trek the crew were very supportive and had great energy. In the safari our guide was very professional and knew his way around. The food was also excellent even though we had many restrictions.
Thanks!!

Very professional and experienced tour operator that helped us with making our Safari trip amazing
The Safari trip with Meru Slopes was an amazing and unforgettable experience! From the beginning Gift Tembo was most helpful in arranging the trip and made it very easy with excellent communication and making sure that our arrival and departure in Tanzania went smoothly.
During the Safari we were taken care of by our amazing guide Douglas and chef Johani. We couldn’t ask for more knowledgeable and fun guide who made our 6 day trip very entertaining and assured that we got the best views during the game drives. And the everyday feast prepared by Johani exceeded all expectations.
Overall had an amazing Safari trip and would recommend everyone to reach out to Meru Slopes for their Tanzania/Africa adventures!

Totally amazing ! As much for the game drive with Max than for the accomodations ! Unforgettable !!!
Amazing !!! We experienced a safari that really surpassed anything we could have imagined! Our driver Max was excellent in his way of driving, positioning the car in front of the wild animals and in his numerous explanations. Also, the lodges, the meals and overall the entire organization was perfect for an unforgettable experience! I recommend Suricata Safaris and Max 100%!
