Lavina Victor is always in control and unflappable!
Review
Thanks to Lavina and Women Adventure Africa, I was able to have an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania and Zanzibar. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
From our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania, we were in the capable hands of Lavina Victor and her staff.
We were a large group, over 60 people, including a number of teenagers. It was my third trip to Africa, and to be honest, I was a little apprehensive about the size of the group we were traveling with. Coordinating a group that large is not an easy task. My other concern was that we would be taking the Safari in April, during the rainy season (from mid-March to May). I can honestly say I did not expect to see as many animals as we did!
The night before we left Arusha for the Safari, Lavina introduced us to our guides and they explained the itinerary. They assured us that we would be seeing many different animals. We left early in the morning in a caravan of 4 x 4’s to Ngorongoro. The drivers were in constant communication with each other for the drive from Arusha to Ngorongoro.
We were blown away by the incredible array of wildlife that we got to see in Ngorongoro. We saw vultures, lions, elephants, zebras, buffalos, giraffes, flamingos, antelopes, jackals, hippos, and a rhino. and many more. The communication between our drivers and guides made a big difference. They were able to alert each other when they spotted anything interesting. They alerted us to a pride of lions around a dead zebra just a few feet off of the road, that we never would have seen due to the high grass.
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wildlife. Together, working as a team the guides and drivers were able to find the best viewing locations. They shared fascinating facts, assisted with picture taking, and ensured we had an outstanding experience. They made sure we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip and we knew we could rely on them.
Our Safari, was just one portion of our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Women Adventure Africa made the entire experience truly unforgettable. The hotel accommodations at each location were excellent!
Lavina not only coordinated the Safari, but also, among other things, a trip to a local Tanzania school, a trip to a Masai village, trips to various markets, a stay in Zanzibar, a trip to Changuu Island, and our ultimate return to New York. From the beginning to the end, she was in complete control and the service was exemplary.
Thanks to Lavina and her crew, we had the perfect balance of adventure, education, and fun. We left with a ton of unforgettable memories from our safari with Women Adventure in Africa.
I will likely return to Africa for another Safari with a smaller group, and probably to the Serengeti. The first person I will contact will be Lavina!

Great Ezperience
Excellent experience. Good communication. We had a very tight schedule because we had to catch a flight to Zanzibar. It was perfect. We were able to see all the animals and arrive at the airport on time. I recommend it.

Excellent Safari experience
Excellent safari experience with the locations (Ngorongoro crater & Serengeti), accommodation and tour guide/driver (Laurance).
Laurence was extremely dedicated to our safety and our desire to enjoy and see the flora & fauna on our safari/drive. He knew where to navigate in all the areas so we could take full advantage. Nothing was an issue to look after us and help us enjoy.

Best Safari Experience of Our Life – Thank You Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
We just returned from what we can confidently say is the best trip of our lives – a 8 days full private safari experience across Tanzania and Kenya, arranged by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We spent 5 nights in Tanzania (Tangagire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti), 2 nights in Kenya (Maasai Mara). From the start, everything was smooth, well-planned, and comfortable.
A very special mention goes to our Tanzania guide, Mr. Ezekiel Senkoro. He speaks excellent English, and we immediately “clicked” with him – friendly, patient, with sense of humour, extremely knowledgeable, and with amazing spotting skills. Thanks to him, we managed to see 38 out of 45 animals on our list in just a few days and we learn alot about the wildlife animals, including unforgettable moments watching the Great Migration not once, but twice in two days at the Mara River. Truly breathtaking!
In Kenya, we had a shorter stay, but our guide Joe was equally dedicated and managed to fulfill our final wish – spotting the exclusive rhino and completing our Big 5 sightings.
If you are looking for a private safari tour with comfort, professionalism, and unforgettable experiences, we highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. They gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime.

Fantastic.
My trip to Kenya was wonderful! I had travelled to witness the great Mara Migration. I enjoyed a picnic in the wild and took great photos and videos. I was thrilled with the whole experience: beautiful savannah plains, abundant wildlife, and exceptional service.
I wish to thank Sun Pops team for their professionalism throughout the booking process, the safari, and departure. I was very satisfied with the whole experience and would recommend this tour operator.

Amazing Wildlife Safari in Ruaha!
Our 3-day trip with Widman Tours & Safari was nothing short of spectacular. The park's pristine landscapes and abundant wildlife left us in awe. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us ample time for game drives and bird watching. The team’s professionalism and friendliness made us feel safe and cared for throughout the journey. The highlight was spotting a pride of lions and a herd of elephants up close — memories we will cherish forever. The entire experience was seamless, exciting, and truly immersive into the beauty of Ruaha. I would recommend Widman Tours & Safari to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable African safari adventure.

Really well organised, supper attentive, guide was knowledgeable and great fun, what more could you
A family of 4 travelling from the UK. We are normally idependat travellers so was a bit nervious of trusting a tour company.
But we had great communication with Ezron before we left, he helped us plan the trip and customise it to our wishes.
He was there to meet us at the airport and then the team looked after us every step of the way.
The guide for our safari was really great and taylored things to us as we went. Accommadation, food, vehicle etc was all of a good standard. One of my sons is a fussy eater but this was never a problem.
We have no complaints and would definately travel with African Tanzanite again.
