It’s a worthy of trust company
We began researching safari companies and their reputations online four months in advance. We soon settled on Roadside and contacted their customer service team; communication was seamless, with prompt responses to all our inquiries. Based on the trust we established, we paid a 20% deposit upfront, with the balance settled upon our arrival in Nairobi. To be honest, we felt a bit apprehensive at the time, knowing that the quality of our experience would largely depend on this company. Fortunately, the outcome proved we had made the right choice. Peter was our guide in the Maasai Mara, and Elly was our guide in the Serengeti; both were skilled drivers with extensive experience in spotting wildlife. Elly, in particular, had exceptional eyesight and could pinpoint exactly where animals would appear, allowing us to observe them from the best possible angles; he also shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife with us. Both guides were attentive to our needs, the vehicles were kept clean, and pick-up and drop-off services were punctual. All in all, the safari fully met our expectations, valued the money and I would highly recommend this company to others.
An Epic Experience to a wonderful adventure
Let me begin by saying Paul the CEO was amazing in putting our trip together. The Hotels were an amazing experience themselves. We arrived in the beginning in Moshi to see the Meteruni falls and have lunch with the chagga tribe to watch and help the process of coffee on their farm which was extraordinary. Gedele our initial driver in the beginning of the trip was a youthful and very informative of the place that helped the nature of the trip more adventurous. He gave us Swahili lessons to use for our trip that it helped very well with the people we met to have them more accommodating and friendly.
Then we went to Serval Kingdom for two days which is plenty. This place is where the animals come to your back and front yard to interact with them and feed them at least twice a day. To have breakfast with giraffes and zebras and elans and gazelle was breathtaking also a sunset tea and movie in the open with the animals.
The next adventure was the Safari adventures at Tarangire National park , Seregeti National Parl and The Ngorongoro Crater. Our Guide and head Guide Walter was amazing , his knowledge of the area and animals were an extra bonus to our trip
We saw the Big 5 and it is a seldom feat done on the first trip we had. So many Elephants and lions and leopards and cheetah. One cheetah with her small cub was beautiful. The Cape buffalo is a sight to be hold and of course the White Rhino was breathtaking. George was very thorough and thoughtful the whole time in our safari trips those days. The stays at Lake Manyara Kilimamojo Lodge was something out of a luxurious movie the staff and the song from the Massai tribe was fantastic Then our next stay at the Serengeti Four Seasons was just excellent and extraordinary with your bathroom and balcony overlooking a watering hole where so many animals came to drink lions, elephants, Cape buffalo was amazing. There is a dinner and dance restaurant there with the Massai tribe that was just amazing.
We did the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti that is an adventure in itself with a champagne breakfast in the open.
Then we took a short flight to Zanzibar. There is fascinating history there and of course Freddie Mercury’ museum and place was fantastic. Then finally off to the Zanzibar MORA a beach retreat that’s all inclusive and the walks on the Indian Ocean beach was greatly appreciated by us to end our trip!
Tanzania Roadside Expeditions by far made our trip Epic and one of the best trip in our lives. Thank you Paul for everything. Asante Sana !
Absolutely best Safari company!
I'm not usually the one who writes reviews, but Tanzania Roadside Expeditions earned this one.
We picked Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for our 11 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania, because they were a local company, and that turned out to be the best decision. There was no middlemen, and no miscommunication — just people who know their own country and genuinely care about doing it right.
They delivered everything they promised. The stays, the comfortable transfers, even the minute detail across Kenya and Tanzania went exactly as planned, with zero hiccups. That kind of reliability is hard to appreciate until you're on the other side of the world trusting someone with your whole trip.
The owner, Paul, and our guides - James and Steven are the real deal. They clearly knew their stuff — sharp, calm, and great at getting us into the right place at the right time. We saw the Mara river crossing up close two days in a row and all of the Big 5, and that doesn't happen without guides who know what they are doing.
What we liked most is that it never felt like a packaged tour. It felt personal — like we were being looked after by friends. By the end, we'd honestly gained a new African family away from home.
If you're planning a safari in East Africa, book with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. You won't regret it.
An Unforgettable Family Safari
Our 8-day safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was truly a bucket-list experience that our family will remember for the rest of our lives. My wife, our daughter, and I had an incredible time exploring Tanzania, especially the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From beginning to end, everything came together to make this one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken.
A huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide, Ezekiel. Spending so many days together on safari, your guide becomes an incredibly important part of the journey, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to share it with. Ezekiel was knowledgeable and professional, but what stood out to us even more was his patience, kindness, and flexibility. Traveling as a family and spending long days on safari isn’t always easy, and there were certainly moments when things were challenging for us. Through all of it, Ezekiel remained incredibly patient, accommodating, and genuinely caring. He adapted to what we needed and always made us feel comfortable. Beyond being a great guide, he’s simply an amazing human being.
From our adventures through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro all the way to helping us with our final airport drop-off in Arusha, Ezekiel took wonderful care of our family. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we had spent eight days with a tour guide and more like we had experienced Tanzania with a friend. The wildlife and landscapes were spectacular, but the people you meet are often what turn a great trip into an unforgettable one, and Ezekiel absolutely did that for us.
Thank you, Ezekiel, for your patience, kindness, laughs, and for helping make our family’s bucket-list safari so special. And thank you to the entire Tanzania Roadside Expeditions team for giving us memories that we will cherish for years to come. We would wholeheartedly recommend them and especially Ezekiel, to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania!
What a wonderful surprise
My wife had wanted to go on this Safari for years and eventually my schedule allowed 2 wks of time for it. She asked a friend of hers who had been to Tanzania for medical mission and had great things to say about Tanzania roadside expedition and our experience matches hers .From reservation to 1st stepping off the flight to throughout the safari to leaving back to US we had a wonderful experience in Tanzania .
Our guide Ezequel was amazing. He was courteous, great fun to be with and had an amazing eye.Despite using an excellent pair of binoculars where we saw nothing ,he could point to wildlife with his bare eyes .He had a knack to know when to get up and go, where to go .Some of it is luck during a Safari but the skill of a great guide like him was invaluable. We wanted to see the animal crossing over Marra river and even though everyone turned around ,he asked us to wait and positioned our vehicle superbly barely 100 yards from where the crossing actually occured an hour later.
He has a really good personality and he made sure that the 6 days with him in the Toyota Land cruiser were really enjoyable .
The Land cruiser itself was very well maintained and he kept it immaculate throughout, He and his peers from Tanzania roadside expedition knew where to take us for excellent restaurants in Arusha and were able to arrange another trip quickly for us which we had not initially scheduled .
Except for one place near Gorngoro national park where we stayed for 1 night ( which was good but not great ) the rest of arrangements were very good within the national parks and in Arusha .
All in all an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend this company ( can't vouch for the other drivers and guides but going by our experience with Ezequel I suspect they are all pretty good too).
