Lions, Leopards, and Zebras Oh My! What a Fantastic Experience!
Woah- the great migration was incredible!
We planned this trip last minute, as in just enough time to get our yellow fever vaccines. The team at Tanzania Roadside provided great service with quick communication, bookings, and modifications to our itinerary (per our request. )They were able to provide a transfer from Kenya to Tanzania and set us up with luxurious accommodations.
The safari itself was more than we expected. In every direction we saw countless wildebeests, zebras, antelope. We were lucky to witness a lioness and her cubs, a few cheetahs and her cubs, and the big 5. Our driver, Edwin, was professional and provided wonderful insight. He also tailored our experience to our personalities.
Our favorite part was camping in the middle of the Serengeti. I never would have expected a functional toilet, shower, and king sized bed in a tent, but that is what we had! When we planned this trip, we were prepared to rough it. Instead, we stayed in luxurious lodges. Our most "roughing it" moment was when we had to make a bathroom pitstop in the middle of all the animals.
We highly recommenced Tanzania Roadside AND going in December. You will see so many animals with fewer safari trucks and have one of the best holiday experiences.

Must do Tanzania!
Ziggy our guide and David Maro of Kilislope Tours did a fantastic job arranging our 5 day tour. Tanzania has a magnificent beauty and Ziggy knew all the best spots to bring us to. A highlight for me was watching a 3 lion cubs nursing, a peaceful scene for such ferocious animals. Hope to come back soon.

Best experience of my life, very professional, extremely well organised.
Everyone was very friendly. Nature responsible were very organised and professional. The parks were superb with more wildlife than i could have ever imagined. I enjoyed every second of my time here.

Incredible
It was a short (3 days), but impressive journey. We've visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro, have seen a lot of wild animals and beautiful nature sites. Definitely recommend.

Everything we hoped for and more !
The wildlife was incredible and everywhere we looked. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and plenty of them. They all looked very healthy, well protected and respected in their natural environment.
The weather was great; hot and dry. The scenery amazing, exactly as we hoped. Accommodation was varied (some tents and some lodges) and all really good. We especially enjoyed the Mbugani Migration Camp in Serengety as we could hear the animals roaming around at night which made it more exciting !
We chose to use Benson Safaris and everything was very professional and organised from the start with no surprises. They even found and delivered our missing luggage for us at the airport and helped when our flight was cancelled unexpectantly. Our guide Peter was perfect. Well informed, professional and good natured. He is very easy to spend time with; and on safari you need to feel comfortable and safe with your guide as you are in the jeep for very long periods of time !
We didn't really like the trip to the Masai village as it was very commercial but we loved meeting the Hadzabe bush tribe hunter-gatherers and learning about their culture.
We are a family of 5 (3 kids 21, 19, 14) and everyone absolutely loved the experience. We are already dreaming about returning as soon as it's possible ! Thank you Benson, Peter and Tanzania !

Amazing safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
Roam Serengeti Safaris has organized us an outstanding journey through Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks.
Mussa was very responsive and thoughtful while email communication as well as while our trip. As a guide Mussa is extremely good - we saw all the big animals live in the parks, he shared with us a lot of interesting facts about flora and fauna, local specificities and customs - it was a pure pleasure listening him.
We had a nightly accommodation in a nice hotel, food, everything was just great!
We will definitely ask him as a guide the next time we visit Tanzania.

Incredible
Regional Tours is the way to go. Although obviously not guaranteed, we saw the big 5 animals and many many more. There seemed to be a constant flow of some kind of animal to look at, and if not the scenery was always beautiful and unique to what I am used to. We went during the short rains period, but only got rained on once for maybe 10 minutes, but honestly I wouldn't have minded more. Seeing a small storm or rain clouds closing in on you from the plains of the Serengeti was just another surreal view. Our accommodations were more than enough. We chose the private luxary tour. Kubu Kubu was by far our favorite, but all were great. Food was enjoyable. The toyota land cruiser was nice and provided the two of us more than enough room. The best part of our safari was no doubt our guide. Novatus from Regional tours was the best, and he is no doubt what made our safari so incredible. Fun to talk to, super informative on anything, great sense of humor, interesting the list goes on. Looking back on our safari i think the Tour guide could be a make or break for us, Nova made it what it was. We had so many highlights and our safari along with Nova will be in our memories forever. Thank you Regional Tours.

One of the most amazing places on the planet.
My wife and I traveled to Tanzania for our honeymoon in August 2018. While we had high expectations for our trip, nearly every aspect of the trip exceeded those expectations. It’s one thing to read about Tanzania online, or view pictures of the wildlife you might encounter, but to be face-to-face with the animals on the Serengeti is indescribable. The people of the country were incredibly welcoming everywhere we went (not just in the tourist areas) and we cannot say enough about our guide. If you haven’t been to Tanzania we would highly recommend it. Shout out to Gosheni Safaris! They were amazing!

Unforgettable experience!
The beauty of Tanzania is breathtaking! The Serengeti and other national parks are well cared for and many conservation protections are put into place. Arusha is a vibrant town and the island of Zanzibar is purely beautiful. Tanzania's rich culture, ecosystems, beaches and cities offer something for all travelers. We traveled as a family with young children and we had an exciting and enriching experience while feeling safe in the areas we were travelling in. Would highly recommend this a country to visit!
