Review of trip arranged by Paul Justine, Peace Hotel Arusha, Tanzania - roadsidetanzania.com
1 Stay at Peace Hotel was really good.
2 First day trip to Arusha National Park was exceptional. Viewing of wild life in Tanzania was great. Elephants, Giraffe, Baboons, Gazelle, Impala, Lions and many other were seen. The guides were very qualified and helpful in explaining the animals habits, the countries different tribe and their development.
3 The second day trip to Kilimanjaro National Park was also very enjoyable. The guides explained and showed how the different tribes like Chaga and Maasai lived. Wild life viewing was also good.
I could be willing to recommend travel through this group

Ewamanns, exceeding expectations.
When you travel with people who are passionate about what they want to show you, it changes everything. You get carried into a beautiful space. The Safari driver took it upon himself to get us the best sightings. Even though he'd seen these sights for over a decade, you could tell that he woke up every morning excited to do this. I'd like to thanks Eric and jackson who showed us a wonderful time.

At short notice, they arranged for a group of 20 seniors on a tour of Kilimanjaro - very well done.
Excellent service, great communication, tours better than expectation. We will definitely refer others.

Adventurous wildlife experiences
With great pleasure I remember our short safari to NCA, spontaneously and perfectly organized and also accompanied by Frank Marangu. Not only that we could watch a multitude of animals, our guide also had an enormous knowledge about their mode of life and enabled us to study some of their habits. I'll never forget us following the cheetah to the hideout of her cubs or the secretary birds building their nest. Moreover we enjoyed the surprisingly comfort of the tented camp which complemented these unforgettable days.

Fantastic Safari service
Some friends and I wanted to do a safari, but we had very limited time and had specific destinations in our bucket list. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was the ONLY tour company that was able to cater to our needs, AND had very reasonable prices. They went out of their way to make things happen the way we preferred! Tour guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating. We absolutely loved every minute of the tour and the experiences we got because of them. I would most definitely recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for their professionalism and expertise!

Too many Safari operators? Go with East African Safari & Touring Company
East African Safari & Touring Company is a relatively small team comparing to some other Safari companies in Tanzania but the key differentiators for this comoany are deep expertise and knowledge of Safari , flexible and customized offers at very attractive and competitive price! The itinerary recommended to us by East African Safari & Touring Company was indeed well balanced between Safari time and time required to connect between Parks so we were not exhausted during the whole Safari trip. And thanks a lot for assigning our small group with Bernard! Bernard is very friendly guide with excellent driving skills and great sense of humor! His deep knowledge and passion in nature and exceptional care about customers thrilled us and kept in excellent mood till the very last moment!
Last but not least we would like to say a few words about camp sites and lodges. They all were great, outstanding places! Ngoro Ngoro wild lodge – renovated with high-class service, spacious rooms with big windows and best-to-view location! Acacia Tented Camp was like a 5 stars luxury hotel in a complete wilderness – new tidy and fully supplied tents, simple but delicious cousin and very friendly stuff. The Boundary Hill Lodge in Tarangire just delighted us with its distinctive uniquely designed lodges masterly integrated into kopje hill nature – a place worth to visit just to feel wild spirit of the East African Savanna!
Being a bit experienced with Safaris, we may say with full confidence that our tour with Eastco was time of relax, pleasure and fun with high class service and care! Even despite depreciation of earnings due to new VAT regulations in Tanzania, the company delivered high class service at initially agreed costs. David & Simon, the owners of East African Safari & Touring Company, keep their business in a very responsible and trustful way and we will recommend your company as reliable Safari partner to our friends and colleagues! Thanks you!

Awesome experience in Kenya at a great value
We were one of 6 families (12 adults, 11 kids) that traveled to Kenya and Tanzania in a group from the US. We got the contact of Dennis from Baboon Budget Safaris initially through a professor in University of Nairobi that one person in our group befriended through her participation in the TechWomen program. Baboon Budget is a smaller local safari outfit in Kenya. But the reason we eventually took the chance with Baboon Budget was the excellent price Dennis offered us for all the places we wanted to visit in 12 days along with his responsiveness (Whatsapp) and his eagerness to help all through the negotiation and planning stage. One of the kids in our group has a congenital medical condition, and had we not felt safe, we would not have chosen Baboon Budget safaris.
On the trip, we had about 6 days in Kenya to cover Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru. Dennis and his crew did an excellent job taking care of us during those days. The drivers were always courteous and responsive during the safaris, and maintained good timing on long drives. In Masai Mara we stayed in Miti-Mingi Eco Camp that Dennis co-owns. The facilities there were more budget oriented than other lodges, but we were taken care of very well. The other lodges we stayed in on the Kenya part were L. Nakuru Lodge and Amboseli Sopa Lodge.
At the end of 6 days in Kenya we were handed over to another tour group (Sand Land Tours) that operate on the Tanzania side that Dennis had sub-contracted with. Honestly here the arrangements were less than ideal. There were some sudden itinerary changes that we were not notified of until the last minute. Also the drivers were less than ideal. We visited Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti in Tanzania, and stayed in Manyara Serena, Ngorongoro Serena and Asanja Africa camp in Seregenti during those 6 days. We did get to see a lot of animals during these 6 days, so overall it was still a great experience.
When we returned to Nairobi, Dennis again courteously took good care of us dropping us off at different hotels and airports.
In the end all of us had a memorable 12-day safari experience. In summary, thanks to Dennis and his crew for making our safari experience special. The Tanzania side sub-contract was not managed well, and we gave Dennis feedback to that effect at the end of the trip. But the Kenya side was excellent. Dennis admitted that he needed to improve his network outside Kenya as he grows his business. But if you are traveling to Kenya - Baboon Budget Safaris is an excellent choice.

Wonderful scenic trip
We found this tour company online and initially spoke to Dennis. He was very helpful and efficient in getting the tour set-up and we were soon on our way to the Mara. Our driver was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and skillful, he took us to the best parts of the park and we got to see the animals up-close and enjoyed the looking out into the landscape. Thank you for a great trip!
