Personal service and excellent safari - go for it!
5/5

Went on safari in early January and was very satisfied with the arrangements. We travelled as a family, my husband and four children, and I had booked everything from home. We arrived to Arusha after five days at Zanzibar and we were picked up by Paul, the owner of Tanzania Roadside Expedition. He took us to our hotel and then stayed with us in the afternoon, taking us to a good lunch place and showing us where to shop. After that we had a meeting with our guide James to discuss the safari and possible changes to the safari to be able to catch sight of as many animals as possible. Later in the evening, Paul and James took us to a great local BBQ place. It was great and so nice of them to set aside all this time and effort to make us feel welcome to Arusha. Early next morning we set off on our safari with James. James was very knowledgable and a truly good guy to have around and with interesting views on Tanzania and all that this country has to offer. Our safari was pretty compact - only three days - but still we managed to see so much!! It was just awesome! We even saw a rhino twice in Ngorongoro. The only set back was that the first days jeep ride was a bit too long (from Arusha to Ndute area). My advice is that if you want to go all the way to Ndute or Serengeti you should have at the very least four days. My personal favorite was however Tarangire park and all the elephants (we did Ndute, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in 3 days). During the booking procedure (I started the booking 10 months before take off) I had extensive email conversations with Paul, who always was very prompt in replying and explaining to me. Conclusively, I truly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Just go - you will not regret it!

Great safari experience more than our expectation...
5/5

We have great moments and memories about our first safari tour in Tanzania. Our tour guide performance from arrival to departure was excellent. Paul is sharing with us all information requested on time. Our safari guide Emanuel was perfect to manage all arrangements and he is very good on driving and sharing with us all information about the natural life of all parks as well. We were successful to see all Wild 5 animals and many others as well. Thanks for all effort spent during our safari tour and highly recommended tour whoever interested.

Professional and experienced safari guiding
5/5

Without much prior information except for some email exchanges with Paul, we decided to book our 6-days safari tour with Tanzania Roadside expeditions because of their flexibility to accommodate our exact wishes (we are a family of four with two teenage sons and hence different interests and wishes...) and at a reasonable price. The tour company choice turned out to be a lucky strike. Being driven and guided around for six days by James was a pure pleasure. Our trip included the national parks of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara with one night in KatiKati tent camp in Serengeti. We saw all animals one can wish for including two leopards, three cheetahs and one serval cat. We also made a day tour to Lake Eyasi where we visited the Hazebe tribe -which we would really recommend as it is an extraordinary experience!
Our driver and guide James turned out to be an extremely dedicated and experienced tour guide and a very pleasant person to travel with. If requested, he will share a wealth of knowledge about Tanzanian nature and society and our journey to Tanzania would not have been at all as memorable had we not met and gotten to know James.
Being very pleased with the six-days safari, we decided to let Tanzania Roadside Expeditions also arrange guided tours in Zanzibar for us and one day of trekking on Kilimanjaro. These arrangements also worked out very well. We would without hesitation recommend James and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions to anyone looking for a memorable visit to Tanzania!

Safari experience at the highest professional level
5/5

I am a travel agent, and I came with a small group.
Already from the initial engagement with Paul and Ole, I knew that I had come to the right place and persons.
The planning of the trip was accompanied by professionalism, reliability, availability, high service awareness, and reasonable prices in relation to the return.
The entire trip was designed for the smallest details, just as important as the big ones.
From the moment that we landed in Kilimanjaro Airport , in the reception hall, getting to know the people behind the emails and the WhatsApp conversations, I knew I'd "landed Into the right hands".
Now, let's go to James the wonderful guide.
Wow, wow, wow.... how knowledgeable.
So much knowledge, with all the willingness to share with others.
We were enthralled and thirsty for all the information he had given us. And when it comes with a smile, passion and dedication to your occupation - there is no falls, just a perfect profit for the traveler.
Thank you all for a great experience, and I'm already planning the next group.
