Tawi was the best and took care of us from landing to takeoff
As we planed, Tawi provided us multiple options for our safari and promptly answered every question we had. Their driver met us at the airport the night we arrived, checked us into the Nairobi hotel, and then escorted us to the airport in the morning. Every detail was addressed.
The safari camp we chose was full and originally scheduled us (with our permission) for their overflow area - just as nice, but without the same views. Behind the scenes, Tawi went to work and upon arriving to the camp we discovered we'd been moved to the nicest tent in the main camp, overlooking the Mara River.
Upon completing the Safari and landing back in Nairobi, the driver was ready for us and helped us complete a couple of errands before taking us to our accommodations (we were staying for a couple days of business).
We can't say enough good compliments about Njeri, who organized our trip, and Paul, the driver who took personal care of us!

Well organized, easy to communicate with company provided an unforgettable safari at a great price!
5 stars for Shengena Adventure company and our guide Kisali. The safari was very well organized, the accommodations were perfect, and the price was quite fair. The highlight was the Serengeti and Tarangire NPs where we saw more wildlife than we could ever imagine. Kisali our guide even enabled us to see a cheetah chase due to his perfect timing and positioning

5-day Safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
After visiting Namibia a few years ago (self-drive), we wanted to return to Africa and realized we would need an organized tour with a guide/driver.
After research and reading reviews we choose Tanzania as destination as Parks are relatively close and did not want to spend too many days on the road.
Read good reviews and comments on TripAdvisor and other sites regarding Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.
From the initial contact they were very helpful and quick to respond, flexible to accommodate our wishes., with excellent pricing and conditions!
We did a private 5-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
Our driver and guide, Eli, was phenomenal!! He is an excellent wild life spotter and
knew exactly where to take us for better views and photos, always in good spirit and very pleasant and easygoing guy!
We had good accommodations that varied from a real (temporary) Kati-kati tented camp in Serengeti ((fantastic experience / should have stayed for 2 nights instead of 1!) and very luxurious hotel as the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge (Wellworth Collection).
Food was very good and we had great dinners, breakfasts and quite diverse lunchboxes for underway.
The driving from Lake Burunge-Tarangire to Serengeti was extremely long and took us 10 hours on rough, dusty and sometimes scary roads. We would have appreciated a bit more information regarding this.
Fortunately, Eli is an extremely experienced driver, always with a lovely smile on his face and he tried to accommodate all our wishes regarding travel times, stops for coffee (wonderful coffee in Tanzania!), photos, etc…
The only 3 details that could be improved would be:
1) better/newer seats in the 4x4 vehicle (at least ours)
2) information about distances and expected driving times to get to each destination.
3) better information regarding Lake Manyara, famous for its thousands of pink flamingos. However, since some time there are no flamingos anymore.
We would have preferred to stay an extra night in Serengeti (considering the long drive to get there, one night is too short) and would have skipped Lake Manyara.
We highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions (Paul Justine, General Manager) for their prompt responses, experience and professionalism, help with Covid testing, etc.
We highly recommend visiting Tanzania! Beautiful places and thousands of animals! We did see the Big 5 and much more!

Absolutely brilliant
We spent 2 days with our guide, Mylord. Mylord was brilliant. He made a great meal in the campsite, made us very comfortable and offered great advice. The morning of the second day was very hot and Mylord suggested seeing animals first and going to breakfast a little later. This was the advice that saved the trip because we saw many many animals, the whole big 6 and then wild dogs, a leopard, a cheetah, and they all walked away after 5 minutes, so had we not taken Mylords advice we would have missed it all. He was a great guide and the whole experience was once in a lifetime. Perfect.

Great company, very serious with good knowledge and good recommandations to adapt your safari
6 day safari
We did a 6 day safari with the agency following the recommendations given. We made the choice to start from the north of the Serengeti to see the migration, then the center of the Serengeti to finish with the Ngorongoro reserve.
Thanks to our guide Jamal who has a great experience we saw many animals and had a fantastic time.
Lizbeth organized our safari and made proposals, everything was perfect with quick responses. Due to the covid we postponed our trip several times, Lizbeth had a follow-up of our project for more than two years.
If you wish to go on a safari in Tanzania we can only recommend the agency which has a long experience and is very serious.
We stayed 5 nights in tent camps, they are very well equipped tents with all the comforts of a lodge. The vehicle is also well equipped and there are cold drinks available every day. For the photos, Jamal always knew how to place himself in the right place and allowed us to experience fantastic moments and take exceptional photos. We also learned a lot about the life of the animals in the reserve.
We preferred to limit ourselves to these two reserves and saw practically all the animals, the agency offers other routes or several reserves, it depends on your time and your budget, you can follow the advice of the agency with confidence .
Have a good trip.

Reliable, very reactive and flexible
We had a four days safari trip with Pearl Afric, before the departure the communication with William was very good. William managed to build a programme compatible with our budget. The trip to Bwindi was incredible all the places in which we stayed were special with beautiful view. Our driver took care of us and took our expectations into account carefully. We always felt safe.

Great Experience in Namibia
We travaled to Namibia last September, with Indigo Safaris, and we had really great time. Probably the best trip we did until now.
Everything went well, all the acomodations were great quality.
We hope to travel again in Africa, and with Indigo Safaris, very soon.

Excellent Service
Sovereign adventures provided excellent service booking our trip for my family of 5 to Ashnil Mara Camp. I made my reservations while in the USA and everything was seamless from asking for quotes to payments. Sarah kept checking on us throughout the 3 days enduring we were getting good service from the hotel and even the driver that was driving us around the Mara. I would highly recommend Sovereign Adventures for your bookings especially for my diaspora people.
