The trip with Benson safaris cross five regions in Tanzania i.e Arusha, Manyara, Dodoma, Morogoro and Dar es salaam was wonderful, It was my first time to met such skilled, dedicated, and funny man who made our trip to be enjoyable and excellent.
His company was outstanding, passionate, informative, entertaining.

One of my most beautiful experiences
We booked a 7 day safari through Tazama Africa holidays. Everything was just perfect.
Starting with the uncomplicated handling with Antony, who always writes back very quickly by email with questions or requests. We visited the following national parks: samburu nr, ol pejeta, lake nakuru and masai mara. Our guide was Moses we saw so many animals and he explained so much about the creatures, plants but also about the different cultures in Kenya.
You can tell right away that he tries very hard and loves his job very much.
It was one of my best experiences so far.
If we ever decide to go on safari again it will be through Tazama Africa holidays :)

Incredibly helpful
Africa Flash was an incredible company to work with. Peter was very helpful in helping plan and execute our dream vacation. His correspondence was always prompt and helpful. Our Safari was one we will never forget. Our guide, Edward, was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, very knowledgeable and extremely patient and easy going. He was so great with helping spot animals & was an excellent driver. We couldn’t believe the number of animals we were seeing! This was the trip of a lifetime and Africa Flash really helped make it possible!! I would recommend this company to any and all!

Great expeditions
A wonderfully organized 3 day Safari. The owner looked after us very well, organizing everything we expected from the organizer. Safe, with attractions that will stay with us forever. A wonderful time for us! I highly recommend working with this tourist office.

Very flexible, friendly, and well run operation.
We had a good experience with Bienvenido. Our driver Bosco was friendly and great at finding animals, constantly communicating with other drivers throughout the parks to find the best places to go. I also appreciated their flexibility in terms of pickup and drop off locations and times. Red Elephant Lodge in Tsavo is really great for the money as well.
Pilgrimage tours
Well organised pocket friendly pilgrimage tours from Kenya, Egypt to Israel and back. Comfy hotels along the Red sea and Sinai desert. Looking forward for another desert trek.

The best safari Suricata Safaris
We made 3 days camping safari with Suricatas Safari and this was the first experince for safari and Tanzania. I want to say that Suricatis Safari supplied and made everything that was defined at agreed pocket. If I will try safari again, I will choose Suricatis Safari. Rocky who was our personal guide and Tito who was our personal chef tried to make us be happy , comfortable and enjoyed. Rocky is a amazing real leader, he always informed us about daily plan, all steps and animals. Special thanks to him , we saw the big 5 by his extrem effort. Our personal chef Tito cooked always delicious, traditional foods and we always ate likely his foods and never faced to any problems. I strongly suggest saferi in Tanzania with Suricatis Safaris with this team.

Super helpful, great recommendations, very prompt on organizing and responding to questions
It was incredibly easy to book the tour with Matthys and the Discover Africa team. They catered to our dates, our budget, and the type of trip we were looking for. One thing I really enjoyed was that everything was taken care of from the moment we touched down in Johannesburg (e.g. - flight the next day, transfers between flights to lodge locations, meals, drinks, everything!) so we didn't have to think about all the travel logistics.
We stayed at the Simbavati Hilltop Lodge for 2 nights, and the Arathusa location in Sabi Sands for 2 nights. Both the locations did not disappoint. The views were incredible from our rooms (we could see elephants, antelope, hippos etc... directly from our private patios), staff/services were 10/10, and the food/drinks were absolutely incredible.
The game drives themselves were amazing as well - saw all the big 5 (some multiple times) and a bunch of other awesome animals as well. Guides were very knowledgable, made you feel safe, and were just overall a great time. We highly recommend this trip.

Excellent communication and service from quote to safari. Incredible team and experience!
We chose Roadside for our first ever safari and were very impressed! Paul and the whole team designed and planned our days carefully and picked perfect lodges to stay at overnight after the long, incredible days.
Our guide Justin was so knowledgable about the areas, animals and of course has eagle eye vision to spot animals from a distance.
Day 1, we arrived in Arusha and were met by Justin and after a quick bag drop at the Melia in Arusha, headed out to see some local sights, in this case an incredible rainforest waterfall hike, local Masai coffee farmer showing us around his land & finally a taste of local cuisine. We would 100% recommend doing this to make use of the first travel day (not to mention the coffee was the best we’ve ever had)
Day 2, Tarangire it’s hard to put this into words but the area is incredible to be driven through, and while the only thing owner Paul would guarantee we would see was the Baobab tree we were incredibly lucky to witness a huge variety of animals this day with Justin expertly navigating the multitude of paths and spotting signs of animals. After the day was done we headed towards our lodge near N’gorogoro crater which also really enhanced the experience and was a great choice for a lodge.
Day 3 N’gorogoro conservation area, after an early breakfast & packed lunch from our lodge we headed out again. Rain overnight had made the routes here tricky but that was no issue for Justin who again expertly navigated us and was always keen to explain animals, landscape and the history of what we were seeing. After another very lucky day for animal spotting we headed back to the lodge for our 2nd and final night where we greeted by another great meal & some local entertainment.
Day 4, our final day of safari at Lake Manyara. By the end of this day we were sad to have to leave and head back on the plane, we managed to see so much but could easily have done it all again. After the park we chose to additionally visit a local Masai tribe who welcomed us with their traditional dance & showed us the village - something we will treasure forever.
Overall we will 100% be using Roadside again for our next trip and would recommend anyone looking for a great guide and package to do the same. Thankyou again to Paul & Justin.
