Absolutely best Safari company!
I'm not usually the one who writes reviews, but Tanzania Roadside Expeditions earned this one.
We picked Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for our 11 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania, because they were a local company, and that turned out to be the best decision. There was no middlemen, and no miscommunication — just people who know their own country and genuinely care about doing it right.
They delivered everything they promised. The stays, the comfortable transfers, even the minute detail across Kenya and Tanzania went exactly as planned, with zero hiccups. That kind of reliability is hard to appreciate until you're on the other side of the world trusting someone with your whole trip.
The owner, Paul, and our guides - James and Steven are the real deal. They clearly knew their stuff — sharp, calm, and great at getting us into the right place at the right time. We saw the Mara river crossing up close two days in a row and all of the Big 5, and that doesn't happen without guides who know what they are doing.
What we liked most is that it never felt like a packaged tour. It felt personal — like we were being looked after by friends. By the end, we'd honestly gained a new African family away from home.
If you're planning a safari in East Africa, book with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. You won't regret it.

Very knowledgeably, efficient, friendly and helpful
Our tour was fantastic with Jabiri, our guide. He made every effort to make sure we saw all the wildlife and sights we wanted to see including lion, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, hyena, elephants, giraffe and more. We even saw a rare black rhino. We particularly wanted to see the river crossings of the wildebeest and zebras. This we saw on four occasions! Jabiri was flexible with his plans to ensure we had the best experience possible. All our accommodation was very good, friendly staff, comfortable and good food. Lionking were patient and helpful with the planning process. We would certainly recommend using them

You won't regret a trip with Wild Planet Safari!
Communication before the trip was always quick, efficient, and with thorough information.
The process of pick up, etc was very smooth.
We did a 3 day trip with them, staying in a rest camp in Kruger.
Our guide Eric was exceptional!! He was so knowledgeable, knew the best places to find animals, knew their behaviors so we saw things we would have missed without him. He is a great cook as well! Perfect tour guide!!!
You won't regret a trip with Wild Planet Safari! When you deal with them, you are dealing with the owners, so they take great care with every step.

Wonderful Experience!
We had a great experience with Africa Big Cats Safaris. Everything was well organized, clear, and smooth from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and very attentive.
A special thank you to our guide, Mr. Venance, who was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient, and always respectful of our preferences. He worked very hard to find the animals we wanted to see, and we were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals during our safari.
We were very satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely recommend Africa Big Cats Safaris!

Julius is reliable, precise, and always ready to meet your needs.
I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who—like me—doesn't live a life of luxury but doesn't want to miss out on a unique experience that should be had at least once in a lifetime.

Excellent guide, friendly well organized company
We booked two day-trips from Moshi, one to Arusha Nationalpark, the other to Tarangire. The organization was very fast, from one day to the other everything was organized. In Arusha-Nationalpark we booked a walking safari, to get in real contact with nature. It was very nice, we could see the great Mount Meru and some smaller animals. After that, on the way to the place where we had lunch (with the car now) we saw a lot of giraffes and had plenty of time to watch. On the way back we saw monkeys and even hippos.
On the second trip we went again with Kiva, who is a great guide. In Tarangire we had lunch with elephants. They did make their lunch break at a little river, drinking, playing, swimming, it was so nice to watch them and again it was not only a short look but plenty of time. Kiva found a lion for us, who was lying under a tree and was not disturbed, what is also very important to me. Thanks to Kiva!!! and Migration Venture Africa. If I go back to Tanzania I would love go with you again!

Amazing Safari Adventure in Tanzania
Great experience with Serengeti Clarity. Teresa’s communication was prompt and thorough as we planned this once-in-a-lifetime trip. One small accommodation hiccup came up but was eventually rectified. We highly recommend the accommodations at Mbuni Serengeti Camp and Eileen’s Trees Inn.
Shout out to Ebenezer, who picked us up from JRO and gave us a great city tour to start the trip.
My husband researched extensively, and from previous reviews, we knew we wanted Abdul Mhando as our guide. Wildlife encounters depend on nature and timing — never guaranteed. But Abdul’s experience made all the difference, positioning us perfectly for photos and videos. He has sharp eagle eyes, spotting wildlife from far distances. As he put it, “you are here to see” — and he made sure we were in awe of what we saw. He’s also courteous, polite, and a safe driver on the bumpy roads — we always felt safe in his hands.
Huge thanks to Teresa, Ebenezer, and Abdul for an incredible safari. Highly recommend — be sure to ask for Abdul! Asante sana!!
Tips: Vegetarian meals are well accommodated, but pescatarian isn’t always available. Bring toilet paper, a buff for the dust (dry season), and hair ties + good conditioner — hair gets knotted and dry. Don’t expect wifi in the vehicle or reliable network in parts of the Serengeti.

Simply out of this world—👍
It was an unforgettable trip. A huge thank you to Artem. We hadn't experienced such a wealth of impressions and such an explosion of emotions in a long time. We saw so many beautiful animals right next to our comfortable jeep; the driver anticipated exactly where they would emerge onto the road, so we always managed to both watch them and take photos. The logistics were expertly planned, and the hotels along the route were excellent. We definitely recommend this trip and will certainly be back.

Exceptional
Had the most amazing time climbing Kilimanjaro with the amazing team behind kiliclimb! The experience really exceeded expectations, the food was amazing, the guides, porters, and janeth were all super attentive. I rented a sleeping bag for the hike which wasn’t particularly warm which I did mention after the hike and they discounted the price I paid and hopefully they can invest in better ones for future! A lot of effort is put in by the porters (13 in total) to get equipment to camp which we preemptively underestimated when we calculated tipping - we didn’t realise how many there would be! All in all great experience and would highly recommended :)
