Great tour full of history and local knowledge
Thomas was very helpful, accommodating and friendly with agood sense of humour. He was very informative and knowledgeable about all areas we went to and a safe driver. We would definitely recommend Thomas and the tour to learn more about Johannesburg, it's history and current times

I’d say they are dedicated to giving you the most amazing safari experience!
Our safari experience at the Masai Mara was truly unforgettable, and a large part of that was thanks to our exceptional driver, Andrew. He was not only cheerful and welcoming but also highly efficient and organized throughout the trip. Andrew made sure that every moment in the park was maximized, ensuring we saw most of the animals on our list. His knowledge of the park and keen sense of timing made the days an adventure. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—thank you, Andrew, for making our safari so memorable!

A trip organised to perfection!
Amazing trip in June!
We booked Wildlife Encounters for an 8 day climb of Mount Stanley and a visit afterwards to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to visit the gorillas. It was organised to perfection, all meals included, transfers... Our driver/guide Lambert was excellent: not only was he driving safe and in a responsible way (not easy in East Africa) he also knew so much about the history, people and tribes of the country as well as so much about the wildlife, birds and so on...
Lambert is very passionate about his job! We can only recommend you to visit this African pearl via Wildlife Encounters!

Informative, friendly and kind
We just returned from an incredible safari adventure in Tanzania, exploring Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We highly recommend
Origin Wildlife Safaris for their exceptional service. Our guide, Mike, was outstanding-he could spot hidden animals from miles away, took fantastic photos, drove expertly, and demonstrated extensive knowledge about animals, history, and African culture. His passion for his job was evident, making us feel like we were not just on a tour but sharing the experience with a true friend. We will definitely book another safari with Origin Wildlife Safaris and encourage others to do the same!

An unforgettable journey thanks to Dan!
We made this trip with our four young children. The beauty of Uganda and the friendliness of the people has touched all of us. But what truly made it an unforgettable experience was our guide, Dan. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome and at ease.
He helped to develop an itinerary adapted to our needs and made sure everything was arranged nicely, despite the short notice. We really loved all of the accommodations he had chosen for us. Dan definitely has an extended knowledge and is really dedicated, considerate and caring for everyone. He was very patient with the children and the best driver you can find. Also, when challenges arose, Dan remained calm and organized, ensuring that the trip always ran smoothly. He even had another car come at night to ensure we could continue our trip without delay or problems. Dan is very cheerful and has a great sense of humor. We also enjoyed the interesting conversations we had
For all the six of us, it really was an adventure filled with unforgettable moments, thanks to our amazing guide and all of his efforts. Dan made this trip a magical experience and we will look back on this journey with warm memories. Thank you for everything!

This is a responsible and enthusiastic travel agency.
Wilson, our driver and tour guide, left a deep impression on me,he can always find animals very quickly and tell us a lot of stories about Africa and Kenya, when we have some problems with the hotel, he can always deal with them quickly and satisfy us.

Wonderful service and itinerary
We are a group of 18 friends and Tanzania Roadside Expedition provided excellent service from the moment we reached out to them till we arrived home. The guides esp. Justin and Geoege put in all their efforts to show us what safari provided during the time we were there. We saw wildebeests crossing twice, adult and baby leopards, black rhino, hippos, cheetahs, lions many times and many others. It was an amazing lifetime experience. ALL of us were happy with the service and will recommend it to our friends without any hesitation.

Well informed, very personable, easy to get along with
Stanford was my guide and I was very happy with him, and spending time with him.
Bayete Lodge was nice for the first night, as was the river cruise, but the Boma dinner was not a highlight for me. Very touristy, food was poor. I had upset stomach for next 3 days. It would have been enough to just do the cruise and eat dinner back at Bayete.
Hwange.
I have some questions/issues with how this was planned.
1. Why did we drive a sedan from Vic Falls to the hotel for 2 1/2 hours over some atrocious roads? Why not a 4x4? Safety was definitely a concern.
2. Why did Stanford drive me to Hwange lodge but then not be my driver/guide? He basically stayed there for 5 nights while I went on game drives and relaxed by the hotel. We saw each other sporadically but only because I think he felt like he needed to check in on me.
3. Why did you not put me on a transport bus instead? Did I pay for Stanford's food and lodging for those 5 days?
4. I very much liked the Hwange Lodge hotel but it's 30 minutes outside the main gate of Hwange, gates only open at 6am and close by pm.
5. Bheki - the guide/driver working for Hwange Lodge was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable and funny.

Adventure of a Lifetime
Our visit to Tanzania was an Adventure of a Lifetime. Tanzania exceeded my expectations which were already high!
Serengeti was teaming with animals and I was amazed at how close you were to most of the animals. Our guide, Enoch from Unlimited Expeditions, made all the difference with his knowledge of the culture and animals including where to find them. The highlight for me was witnessing the Mara Crossing of the Great Migration.
Really appreciated that the weather was great with virtually zero insects to bother us.
I will be highly recommending safaris in Tanzania.

Beautiful country, friendly people and amazing nature
My recent holiday to Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular. The landscapes were breathtakingly beautiful, each park offering its own unique scenery that made every visit worthwhile. From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the lush greenery of the Ngorongoro Crater, the diversity of the landscapes was truly awe-inspiring.
The people of Tanzania were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The tour guides were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had the best possible experience. Their insights into the local culture and wildlife added a rich layer of understanding to our journey.
And speaking of wildlife, Tanzania did not disappoint. The abundance of amazing wildlife, from majestic elephants to elusive leopards, made every safari an adventure. Each park had its own unique array of animals, making it worth visiting multiple parks to fully appreciate the diversity of Tanzania’s wildlife.
Overall, Tanzania is a destination that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and incredible wildlife. It was a holiday that I will cherish forever
