An amazing trip with a reliable company and gamekeepers
5/5

6 days private safari to Kenya and Tanzania wildlife parks (Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Ngorongoro Crater)
My husband and I more than enjoyed the trip with the Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Both of us traveled around the world a lot when we were 20's. Let’s say, each of us went for years to more than 80 countries including Antatica. That’s why it was difficult to decide on the honeymoon trip. We’d been searching crazily and finally made up our minds. The result was awesome. The company prepared and organized well for the trip, and was very responsive. It was good for us to ask questions and share worries such as payment ways, alternative accommodations, and personal details before starting the trip.
The trip was wonderful, gamekeepers, James in Kenya and Ezekel Masai in Tanzania, were amazing. They are great educators as well as safeguards. Their driving skills are so excellent that there is no need to worry about sticking in mud or passing through narrow curvy roads. They managed occasions professionally. What I liked the most was their manners and philosophy toward nature. Plus, because of their good sense of decision where we go from moment to moment, we could see all the big 5 clearly.
Of course, it was Masai Mara, Serengeti, and the crater. Any documentary films and pictures cannot fully reflect the beauty and mistic moments. People need to see at there.

TRE is a very experienced tour operator who provided an amazing experience
5/5

Overall it was an amazing safari experience! Paul was great and very reactive upon initial contact. He was helpful at every step along the process. He met us upon arrival at the hotel in Arusha and after the safari to get a feedback from us.
Ezekial Masai accompanied us during the whole safari. He was very kind with our child and very knowledgeable about wildlife. He drove very safely and always tended to our needs. He was present all the time yet seemed to manage a distance to let the family enjoy the safari. Very professional!
We will hopefully be back to see rhinos and cheetahs (Yes, this is not a zoo!) even though we saw scores of animals. Memories for life!
I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expedition .

Amazing Experience
5/5

While looking for a trip to Tanzania, we came across Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Like many of you here reading from afar, we relied heavily on reviews. It is clear that they absolutely earned all of these fantastic reviews. From start to finish, they were truly amazing!

We reached out to Paul and he was very professional. He sent us some options and changed them multiple times as we worked to get our final itinerary. They are very flexible which allows you to really customize the trip. We did the 6-day luxury safari, but we also really like one tented lodge from the mid-range package and Paul was able to easily flip out our lodge choice to stay in the tented lodge. Customization also allowed us to stay at a certain budget. Paul even met us on the front end to go over the safari, and at the end to say goodbye.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by our driver for the trip Ezekiel Masai. We are family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children- 10 and 8) and I was nervous about having kids in the car for the number of hours we would be traveling around. However, Ezekiel quickly put us at ease and was very patient with all of us. He is extremely knowledgeable and we did ask him a ton of questions along the way! We saw every animal that we wanted to see, including the leopard, often going long distances driving to make sure we saw. He is truly an amazing guide and person, and I cannot recommend him enough to others!

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
5/5

Incredible experience from start to finish! Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was incredible helpful and accommodating planning and organizing our safari. Our guide Ezekiel Senkoro picked us up at our hotel and was extremely informative, kind, considerate, knowledgable, entertaining, and professional throughout our trip. Ezekiel was very accommodating and tailored each day to our wishes whether it be staying out on a game drive longer or coming back into the lodges early for a little rest. We were very blessed to have seen the Big Five on our safari due in large part to Ezekiel being incredible at spotting animals out on the drives and being extremely knowledgable of the parks. All of the accommodations were extremely nice and fit well to the description of a luxury safari. We could not have been more impressed with both Tanzania Roadside Expeditions or Ezekiel and highly recommend both! We cannot wait to go back on safari with them!

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions coordinated an 8-day safari for me and my son. Managing Director Paul organized an incredible experience. From the preparation stage thru fulfilling all of our expectations, each day of our trip was fantastic. Our guide, Laurian, was outstanding and ensured that all of our personal requests were met. We highly recommend their services for an unforgettable adventure.

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was so helpful, communicative, and overall a great operator to use!
5/5

We used Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for our safari experience and they were fantastic. This was our first safari experience and I was nervous as I did not know what to expect, but this company truly took care of us and put any nerves at ease. We did a two-day safari in November, and it was a great time to go and a good length of trip for us. I was nervous going at this time of the year given it is "off-season", but it was actually perfect! The parks were not crowded at all and we still saw ALL of the Big Five animals, plus the weather ended up being great. It is the short rainy season, but this just meant that it would rain for less than 30 minutes once during the day, and we would just put the top cover onto the safari car during this time; it did not hinder the experience in the slightest. Two days was a great length for us as we did two different locations so one day we got to see Tarangire and the next we did Ngorongoro Crater; both of these places I highly recommended. We were coming from Dar es Salaam, so our package was tailored to include trips to and from the airports, our round-trip flights to the Northern Circuit and back, lodging and food, and our private tour. Paul was very communicative from the beginning and easy to contact for any and all questions that I had. As an American, we were not very used to doing a money-transfer for our payment, but it was safe and secure and went through without a hitch. Once we arrived, our guide was there to pick us up at the airport and he was so friendly and knowledgeable and we could not recommend a better tour company to use!

5/5

We booked a honeymoon safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and had a great experience. Our guide Ezekiel was awesome, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. Made us feel taken care of the entire trip. Our stays throughout the safari were spectacular. On the first day he even brought me roses for our honeymoon. When the safari ended we had gone to Zanzibar for a week then back to Arusha, they even helped us arrange a ride to the airport though we were not on the safari anymore. Excellent service thank you for making our honeymoon experience special!

AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE.
5/5

For a long time we were planning to go on a Safari. Especially since our father’s had a great love for animal’s and nature.
It was a dream for us to go on a Safari and since our father’s are no longer alive, we wanted our memory of them to continue while on this Safari.
It was a privilege to book this Safari with TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS.
The owner Paul Justine was committed to us from the very beginning to the very end of the Safari.
He was always available to us when we needed questions to be answered even before the Safari started.
That is simply just dedication on his part to his clients.
The hotel’s that he booked for us during our Safari each day were amazing and it included all our meals and refreshments when we were on the road.
We were picked up at the airport and were taken for our first night at the Gran Melia Arusha. After Paul helped to check us in, we had a meeting on the details of our Safari for the next 4 days.
The next morning we got to meet our tour guide Ezekiel Elias.
First impression of Ezekiel is that he was on time and very enthusiastic. You could tell he was excited about his job and sharing his knowledge with people.
Our first destination was to the Tarangire National Park which is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. The park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
We spent our second night at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge where Ezekiel assisted us to check-in.
On our third day we headed to the
Serengeti National Park. We understand that this Park is the world’s last largest great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals. Furthermore, the area covers 14,763 square feet and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai 'Siringet', meaning endless plains. Amazing!!
We had an opportunity to meet one of the tribes called the Masai Tribe. They were very welcoming and explained to us about their daily lives.
After Ezekiel checked us in at the Serengeti Melia Lodge for our third night.
We spent half a day in Serengeti and later the next morning we went to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
This crater is called the eighth natural wonder of the world and is the largest intact crater in the world. For our last night Ezekiel drove us to the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge to check-in.
The next day we descend into the crater for a tour. Before heading to the Kilimanjaro International airport for our flight to Dar-es-Salaam.
Ezekiel took the initiative and stopped off and took a small video of Mount Kilimanjaro since my husband climbed up 18,000 feet when he was in the Boy Scouts. Ezekiel knew how much this meant. We were shortly now going to say bye to a close friend who we came to know over the past few days from the Safari.
The Safari that was booked for us was an amazing experience and completed with great detail.
The memories we experienced will always be cherished for the rest of our lives.
We highly recommend booking your Safari with TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS. Furthermore, it was Paul Justine and Ezekiel Elias that made one of our dreams come true.
We thank you Paul and Ezekiel.
