The most unforgettable safari experience thanks to the best team and guides!
5/5

I started researching safari companies back in January because going to Africa has been my dream since I was a kid. I grew up watching documentaries about the Serengeti and the great migration, always imagining what it would feel like to see it with my own eyes. For many reasons, it never happened until now, and I knew 2025 had to be the year. After 3 months of comparing options and speaking with different companies, I decided to go with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

From the very first conversation, Paul stood out. I consider myself a very curious and sometimes difficult client because I like to understand every detail. I asked him so many questions, and he always responded with patience, kindness, and clarity. That is exactly why I chose them. I felt taken care of from the very beginning.

As the planning went on, I invited some of my closest friends and we ended up being a group of 8. Since this was a trip I had dreamed of for so long, I had many things I wanted to experience. Paul and his team accommodated every single request. The accommodations, the day drives, the night game drives, the hot air balloon, the food, the logistics, everything was arranged perfectly. There was not a single detail that felt overlooked.

We did an 8-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. We had two guides, Walter and James. They were both great, but I spent the most time with Walter since I was in his car. I do not even know how to fully express how grateful I am to him. He paid attention to everything. If I mentioned an animal I hoped to see, he would immediately start looking for it. He was so knowledgeable, warm, patient, and passionate about wildlife and his country. He taught us so much every day.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the entire safari happened because of him. I had always dreamed of witnessing the Great Migration, but at first it seemed unlikely because the herds were far from where we were staying. Walter never gave up. He watched the land carefully, followed tracks, understood the patterns, and somehow led us to a massive herd of what must have been 10000 wildebeest and zebras gathering to cross a river. Lions were waiting on the river bank, and the tension in the air was something I will never forget. The sounds, the movement, the uncertainty, the sheer energy of nature in that moment was incredible to witness. It was everything I had imagined as a child and more.

What stood out the most was how much Walter cared. He wanted us to experience the magic of Tanzania the way he sees it. When the safari ended and it was time to say goodbye, I actually got emotional. Having Walter as our guide made an already incredible trip even better. He played a huge role in why this experience became so meaningful.

I have visited 55 countries, and nothing compares to this trip. Africa feels powerful in a way that is hard to put into words. The landscapes, the wildlife, the silence, the unpredictability, the feeling of being so close to life in its purest form. There were moments that took my breath away. Moments I will remember forever!

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions created the perfect journey for us. From the planning stage with Paul to the final day with Walter, everything was exceptional. If I could give them 1000000 out of 5, I would.

To Paul, the entire team, and especially Walter, thank you for giving us the trip of a lifetime! If you are thinking about going on a safari, choose them. You will not regret it!!!!

Excellent client service!
5/5

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions were extremely professional. We contacted them on a family recommendation and they didn't disappoint this time around either. Paul planned a 5-day safari tailored to our needs and wants. He was very accomodating and very proactive. He helped us with all our admin procedures (e.g., visa). We particularly appreciated his clear and open communication as well as all the advice he shared to help us plan our itinerary. We highly recommend Tanzani Roadside Expeditions and will definitely use them again at the next occasion!

Solid tour guides! Ezekiel Senkoro was amazing!
5/5

We hiked Kilimanjaro and went on a safari in the Serengeti with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. The price was very reasonable and the tour guides were outstanding. In particular, Ezekiel Senkoro was amazing. His knowledge of the Serengeti was boundless; he was in constant communication with other guides so we could have the best viewings of the big game. He anticipated their every move. He did everything he could to make our safari as memorable as possible.
All transfers were perfect.
The organizer, Paul, handled our disorganized group's constant changes well. My only complaint was that I couldn't get the flight information for a local flight across the Serengeti in time, so I only had an hour in a hotel before the safari started.

Professional and organised offering a great reasonable priced service
5/5

Tanzania roadside offered great safari packages at reasonable prices. We had 2x different drivers across Kenya & Tanzania both of which was fantastic. I would highly recommend Ezekiel and Keffa who went above and beyond on our drives.

Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

At the start of the expedition, we gave our guide - EZEKIEL .G. SENKORO - a challenge: bring us to the BIG 5 and make sure that we see the great migration river crossing. Eze achieved the mission with flying colours! We are so blessed that we have had Eze to be our guide. It’s an experience of a lifetime!

Knowledgeable and fun!
5/5

We had a wonderful safari with our guides. George and Steven ensured we saw the big 5 and were very knowledgable about the wildlife. The accommodations were amazing. The staff took excellent care of us, meals were great, and we always had a comfy bed and warm shower to end the day. Communication with our trip planner was reliable and consistent. He went above and beyond and helped us in a pinch. I would definitely book with them again!

Great custom-made safari
5/5

We (4 people) spend 2 weeks on a private, custom-made Safari in Kenia and Tanzania with Roadside. A quick summary is that we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend them to anybody who wants a great experience.

Getting everything organized was easy and efficient, Zephania was very quick to answer all our questions and provide us with updates. We were able to take his base idea for the itinerary and customize it further to suit our needs - we added a park, added a night here and there, removed one stop as we had done it a few years back, nothing was ever an issue.

Once on the safari, everything went smoothly and according to plan. We were joined by three different guides (one at the beginning in Kenia, then one in Tanzania, and then another one in Kenia) and all of them were very flexible: if we wanted to set off a bit earlier, it was possible; if we wanted a full-day game drive without going back to the lodge for lunch, it was possible as well. In general, we stayed in the parks full days most of the time, and it was always possible. We are photographers with big lenses, and the guides were understanding and cooperative in terms of stopping the car for the best angles and lighting. They also seemed very passionate about their work, and we even got a few extras during our time there that were outside of our itinerary (shout out to Keffa for the second game drive in Nakuru and the boat ride in Naivasha). A very special thanks to Man man (Walter) for his enthusiasm and relentlessness, he really did all physically possible to show us what we desired to see (gnu crossing the Mara river!), and he always delivered. He was one of, if not the best, guide we've ever had, anywhere.

We are already planning on going back in a couple of years, and if we do, Roadside will definitely be the company we will contact to organize everything again.

Outstanding
5/5

My husband and I were heading to Tanzania for a 6-day safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, when I fell in Istanbul. By the time we reached Tanzania, I needed surgery. We postponed our safari until next year. They stood by us. Paul and the rest of his staff, and the hotel they booked for us (Mt.Meru Hotel), were so friendly, so helpful and always available when needed. We look forward to traveling with them next year.

4 Day Safari
5/5

We just returned from a 4-day safari with Tanzania Roadside Safari, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless, exciting, and beyond what we hoped for.

Our itinerary took us through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, and the breathtaking beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater. Each destination was unique and full of incredible wildlife sightings — from elephants and lions to cheetahs, hippos, and even a leopard!

The accommodation throughout the trip was absolutely amazing. Each lodge and camp was comfortable, beautifully located, and well-appointed, providing the perfect balance of luxury and immersion in nature. What truly surprised us was the quality of the food — it was well beyond our expectations. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Definitely not what you’d expect in the middle of the bush!

But what truly made this trip unforgettable was our guide, Steven. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the animals, parks, and Tanzanian culture. More than that, he was incredibly accommodating, patient, and attentive to our needs throughout the journey. You can tell he has a real passion for what he does — and it showed every single day. Steven really made this trip what it was, and we feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, do not hesitate to book with Tanzania Roadside Safari. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we’re already dreaming of coming back!
