Excellent to work with and offered fantastic holiday options!
We booked a number of tours with Fuhara and our contact Munashe. The communication was first class all the way. Our main tour was a 3 day camping safari in Chobe (from Vic Falls). We also tacked on Quadbiking, white water rafting and a sunset cruise.
All activities were organised at a reasonable price with transfers included. We were very grateful to have booked with Fuhara and appreciate their support in making our holiday unforgettable.

Unforgettable 7-Day Safari with Praygod
We recently wrapped up a 7-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The wildlife experience in the main parks was incredible!
Praygod stayed with us from start to finish and was absolutely fantastic. He is a phenomenal driver and spotter—exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and determined to give us the best experience possible. Thanks to his hard work, we saw the Big 5 and witnessed an unforgettable river crossing in the Serengeti! Ask for Praygod if you want a seamless and successful safari.
Regarding the pre-trip coordination with our agent, Gipson, the service was adequate, though there is certainly room for improvement in communication and local park guidance.
Simple requests like making a stop at a local market were met with miscommunication, as we were initially asked to stay at the hotel until we insisted. Payment administrative tasks at the office also took longer than expected on the first day.
We specifically asked to see flamingos, and Lake Manyara was included in our plan for this. However, seasonal wildlife conditions meant there were virtually no flamingos and very few animals present. A local agent should have up-to-date knowledge on park conditions and seasonal animal movements. That day would have been far better spent in another park.
Despite the planning oversights, Praygod made our trip truly unforgettable. We highly recommend booking with Praygod as your guide!

What a wonderful surprise
My wife had wanted to go on this Safari for years and eventually my schedule allowed 2 wks of time for it. She asked a friend of hers who had been to Tanzania for medical mission and had great things to say about Tanzania roadside expedition and our experience matches hers .From reservation to 1st stepping off the flight to throughout the safari to leaving back to US we had a wonderful experience in Tanzania .
Our guide Ezequel was amazing. He was courteous, great fun to be with and had an amazing eye.Despite using an excellent pair of binoculars where we saw nothing ,he could point to wildlife with his bare eyes .He had a knack to know when to get up and go, where to go .Some of it is luck during a Safari but the skill of a great guide like him was invaluable. We wanted to see the animal crossing over Marra river and even though everyone turned around ,he asked us to wait and positioned our vehicle superbly barely 100 yards from where the crossing actually occured an hour later.
He has a really good personality and he made sure that the 6 days with him in the Toyota Land cruiser were really enjoyable .
The Land cruiser itself was very well maintained and he kept it immaculate throughout, He and his peers from Tanzania roadside expedition knew where to take us for excellent restaurants in Arusha and were able to arrange another trip quickly for us which we had not initially scheduled .
Except for one place near Gorngoro national park where we stayed for 1 night ( which was good but not great ) the rest of arrangements were very good within the national parks and in Arusha .
All in all an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend this company ( can't vouch for the other drivers and guides but going by our experience with Ezequel I suspect they are all pretty good too).

Everything was perfect, the guide the view all good
We visited Kenya at the end of August. Even We didn’t get to see the wildebeest river crossing, but everything else was wonderful. The accommodation and food were excellent. We will definitely come back another time!

Amazing for a first time safari
My family stayed at Karongwe River Lodge in June. It is almost a guarantee that you will see the Big 5. 9000 hectacres was quite a large area and it is my understanding they expect to double in size in the next two years. The food was really tasty. Lunch and Dinner had 3 courses and the portions were abundant. The staff was helpful and great, but not overly polished (which we liked).
My wife is quite the birder, Karongwe did not seem to have a large number. It is possible that we weren't there at the best time. The focus on the safari guides is the Big 5 and you have to specifically ask to focus on other animals.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by George Irwin
The Masai Mara Is Beyond Description
The Masai Mara National Reserve was everything we imagined Africa could be—and far more. Its seemingly endless grasslands, dramatic skies and extraordinary concentration of wildlife create a sense of wonder that photographs simply cannot capture.
Every game drive was a new adventure. Seeing wild animals living freely in their natural environment was humbling, exhilarating and deeply moving. Our exceptional guide, Tonkie, brought the Mara to life through his remarkable knowledge, patience and genuine respect for the wildlife.
There is also something powerful about the quietness of the Masai Mara—the early morning light, the enormous open landscape and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. It was not merely a place we visited; it was an experience that changed how we see the natural world.
The Masai Mara was unquestionably the highlight of an already extraordinary trip to Kenya. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was a 20. We would return without hesitation.

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Annette
In comparison with other safari destinations that we've visited (in Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania), this park lacks the proliferation and diversity of wildlife we've seen elsewhere. It's still a worthwhile destination but your expectations need to be aligned with the opportunities to see animals (especially predators) at close range. The birding was good.

Review about Mabamba Swamp by Annette
Exceptional! We saw countless birds, including the shoebill, as well as otters. The boatmen were very patient and also very knowledgable, which made for a wonderful experience.

Review about Lake Mburo National Park by Annette
The area is excellent for walking safari experiences and we had the most amazing walking safari ever (and we've done many in numerous countries). The calm animals and the capacity to get close to them was breathtaking. The birding on the lake and surrounding wetlands was also outstanding.
