Experience of a lifetime
5/5

We are a couple who recently went on a 11 day Kenya and Tanzania private trip with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

We spent a lot of time researching safari companies before booking our trip, and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions checked every box we were looking for. We specifically wanted a local operator rather than an international middleman, fair pricing, mid-range to luxury stays, experienced guides, and, most importantly, a company that operates ethically around wildlife. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions delivered on all of these, 100%.

Our biggest concern was trust. We had heard some scary stories about safari companies taking large upfront payments, providing accommodations very different from what was promised, or even leaving travelers stranded. Being so far from home, that was a real concern. Paul, the owner of Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, completely changed that experience for us. From the very beginning, he was personally involved, patiently answered all our questions, and was incredibly transparent and responsive. He met us before and after the trip, introduced us to his family, and even gave us something thoughtful to take home. By the end, Paul, our guides, and the entire experience genuinely felt like family.

Our guides, James in Kenya and Steven in Tanzania, were absolutely fantastic. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, observant, and respectful of the animals and their natural behavior. They seemed to anticipate where the animals would move and positioned us for some unforgettable moments. We saw the Big 5, witnessed the great migration and a wildebeest river crossing on our very first day, and many other natural wildlife phenomenon. They were genuinely as excited to show us these moments as we were to experience them. Huge kudos to Steven in Tanzania!

The accommodations were excellent as well. We normally plan our trips ourselves, but organizing multiple stays across two countries is challenging because many camps and lodges aren't easily found online. During the busiest season, several of our preferred options were already booked, but Tanzania Roadside Expeditions's local knowledge and connections meant they could suggest great alternatives until we found exactly what we wanted, often at very good rates.

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions delivered everything they promised and more. We would 100% recommend them to anyone planning a safari in East Africa. In fact, we're already planning our next trip back, and this time we'll be returning not just to Africa, but to visit our newfound family there. ❤️🌍

A very professional and prolific safari with Eze Masaï that we will never forget
5/5

We had the chance to spend 4 days with Eze Masaï in both Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Everything was very well arranged in advance, and the plan for these days was very clear. During the safari, Eze showcased a mindblowing knowledge of the terrain, as if he would know where to find animals (beyond what the radio would say of course). We also highly appreciated Eze's professionalism: always on time, and balancing listening to our propositions and suggesting better alternatives if any. Overall excellent value for money, with the Pori Pori lodge as a base. 100% recommended!

Top Notch Customer Service
5/5

A year ago, when I went to my bank to wire transfer a large deposit for our safari trip to Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, my banker looked deep into my eyes with worry: "Tanzania? Large amount? One year ahead deposit? You have never met the 'tour operator'? Are you out of your mind? Is this an international scam?"

Well, I just finished my 13-day Kenya-Tanzania safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, and I can assure you, Tanzania Roadside Expeditions is not only a legitimate company, but they also distinguished themselves above all others while handling challenging situations. They showcase great leadership, grace, generosity, and excellent people skills.

The last day of our trip was a jeep ride from Masai Mara back to Nairobi International Airport. Because of the driver's miscalculation on timing, plus a series of unfortunate events, I was late to the airport. The airline canceled my entire two-leg flight and charged me a heavy fine for a "no-show." Nairobi airport terminal doesn't open for passengers who have no ticket; under the hot sun outside the building, I was fortunately able to secure a later flight. The price, including the no-show fine, was so high that it made me even hotter.

I called Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and explained what had happened. Paul, the great tour operator, immediately acknowledged that the driver didn't depart early enough, which caused my trouble. He didn't blame, didn't argue, didn't negotiate; he only asked to see the receipt of my new purchase. On behalf of his company, he took full responsibility and gracefully promised reimbursement for such unexpected costs. He wished me a safe flight home with his warm wishes. Standing in front of the Nairobi airport terminal, I was in tears from his kindness, understanding, and courage to shoulder his responsibilities with dignity. After all, this extra cost was a very big chunk of their income as well, yet he put his client's best interest as the top priority, all the way to the last day of the trip.
When I landed back home in Seattle, his reimbursement fund landed as well. I am amazed by this excellence.

Traveling sometimes takes unexpected turns, especially on a wild safari trip. But when you sign up with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, Paul is there for you—he has you covered. Hakuna Matata!

Fantastic, communicators, and outstanding guides
5/5

From the initial communication to the final drop off, we had excellent communication and excellent care. We had a Guide in Kenya named Jackson. Jackson was extremely knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to finding as many animals as possible. He was very kind, caring and enthusiastic about answering our many questions. We then had a Guide named Moses during our Tanzania portion of the Safari. Moses led us through Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorongoro crater. He had 15 years of experience and did an outstanding job locating animals and educating us about the beautiful natural environment and its interaction with the animals. He was also very kind, caring and enthusiastic about answering any questions. Both of our guides were interested in what we wanted to see and completely catered to our individual requests for what we wanted our Safari itinerary to be The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. We stayed within the national park. The food was excellent. The service and staff at each site were outstanding. Everyone was available to assist you with any need at a moments notice. Everyone always with a smile.
Truly, an adventure and journey of a lifetime filled with inspiration, kindness, love, and hope

Highly recommend Tanzania Roadside
5/5

We just returned from a 10 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Tanzania Roadside and it truely was a trip of a lifetime. When I was planning it, Paul responded very quickly to all my questions and emails and their price was good compared to other companies. In Kenya, we were lucky to start out with Peter who drove us to Masai Mara, he was very knowledgeable and showed us some amazing animal sites including front row seats to the great wildebeast crossing. Then we crossed the boarder into Tanzania and was passed over to Ezekiel who was also very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. He was able to get us up close to so many of the animals and also got to see another wildebeast crossing. Thank You so much (asante sana) to the whole team for a wonderful trip and also a thank you to Ezekiel and Keffa for going out of your way to get our binoculars back to us that we left behind before we flew home.
