Exceeded our expectations by a country mile!
I first contacted Tanzania Roadside Expeditions (TRE) in February of this year to arrange a three-night/four-day safari for myself, my husband Nick, and our daughter Georgia. I chose TRE on the strength of their amazing reviews and my initial communications with Paul, the Managing Director. Paul was extremely efficient, professional and responsive from the outset, so there was no doubt in my mind that I had chosen the right company.
Paul arranged our return flights from Zanzibar to Arusha, and was there to meet us at the airport to introduce us to our guides, Walter and Enrishi, and the trusty Landcruiser (our base for the next few days!). Enrushi was in training, so we were fortunate to have two guides - both of whom were extremely knowledgeable, personable and a huge pleasure to spend four days with. Frankly, we could not have asked for better company throughout our adventure.
We visited Tarangire National Park, criss-crossed the awe-inspiring Serengeti and explored the amazing Ngorongoro Crater, staying in stunning safari lodges each night, where we received wonderfully warm welcomes and delicious meals. They even managed to cater for our daughter, Georgia's, vegan diet.
We saw not only the 'Big 5', but the 'Big 8' by day two, plus a myriad of other beautiful wildlife. Our wonderful guides were incredibly skilled at spotting elusive wildlife from a great distance, and we managed to get up close to all but the rhinos, who kept their distance. We also visited a Maasai village on our final day - another fascinating experience that has since prompted me to read a number of books on the Maasai and their environment.
The only downside of our trip was when the time came to say our goodbyes to Walter and Enrishi on our final day. Their engaging personalities and the knowledge they imparted to us made our holiday both special and unforgettable. We sincerely hope for a reunion at some stage in the future.
Our entire experience with TRE was outstanding, and our enthusiasm has been such that a number of our friends are contemplating doing similar to what we did, with TRE. We took so many wonderful memories away with us, not to mention hundred and hundreds of photographs! Needless to say, we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company to anyone seeking to 'go on safari'.

Service was on point!
Did a group trip with Delfin tours to Tanzania for a Three days escape to Moshi and arusha, The itinerary was well planned and great activities lined up for the trip. Highlight was the food and choice of hotels both in Moshi and Arusha. I would definitely recommend them.

Wayfair travel made our dreams come true.
We reached out to numerous travel agencies to book our safari honeymoon adventure. We ultimately settled on Wayfair. Right from the get go they were very attentive to the experiences we were looking for and able to create a custom travel plan which suited our needs. They were also able to provide excellent recommendations which made our trip that much better. The package was also very competitively priced. Lastly, they were very responsive to any questions even after we booked our trip. First class experience from start to finish.

Fantastic experience for a budget Safari
I went on a trip with friends to Sipi falls at Mount Elgon organized by Murchison Backpackers Safaris. Everything was organized very well from start to finish. The vehicle, and its driver Jim (had great stories) were excellent, the drive very relaxing, the tour guide very knowledgeable. The scenery at Mt. Elgon was breathtaking, we hiked to the three waterfalls, visited various caves, the high altitude running tracks, and shared a meal with a wonderful local family, i must say the people of Sipi town are very hospitable. For a budget trip, i was impressed.

Exhaustive tour and great driver!
Jockey Tours did a great job of putting together an itinerary that was really great value for money.
Andrew was our driver for the 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru tour. He did an incredible job going above and beyond the job description by offering all sorts of information about the animals and places we were seeing. I was really impressed by his handling of group dynamics and his energy throughout the early morning and long drives. It’s safe to say that no pot holes threw him off delivering a spectacular experience. Would 100% recommend him for anyone looking to safari in Kenya.
The only things we found difficult about this trip was out of the control of the tour operator or driver - rubbish in the village and the sheer number of tourists/cars seeing the wildlife. Would be great to see more information about the reality of human impact on the wildlife and future groups getting involved with helping the Masai village on projects and maybe rubbish collection could be a start…

Memorable Trip to Kenya with Mr. Khalifa (Jocky Tours)
We had 4 days trip of Masai mara and Lake Nakuru. It was organized in a very good manner from pick up to drop off at airport. Our tour guide Mr. Khalifa was amazing and his very nice behavior with all the group members (including special support to senior citizens) is really appreciable. His enthusiasm to show animals was incredible. It's an unforgettable trip for us.
