Amazing, Organised Experience!
We went on a safari organised by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. From the very start they have been incredibly responsive and organised and ensured that they met our requirements and interests. The tour guides Anthony (Kenya) and Sam (Tanzania) and organiser (Zepha) were incredibly kind, knowledgable and organised! We enjoyed the itinerary, the hotels and overall the experience was unforgettable.

Excellent African Safari Tour Company
Our 13 day safari package planned with Tanzania Roadside was perfect in every way. We began planning this trip of a lifetime in October 2024. From our first contact with Zephania at Roadside Tanzania, we knew we were in good hands. Since our daughter had been to Africa before, she handled relaying a lot of our must dos to Zephania. He was so easy to work with as we made changes along the way. Our trip was planned for September 2025. We began our adventure when we were picked up at the Eka Hotel in Nairobi by our guide, Peter. He was our guide through the Masai Mara in Kenya. The roads in Kenya are very unfinished and bumpy. Peter was an excellent driver and handled the bumps and ruts expertly. Upon arrival to the Masai Mara we found our accommodations had been upgraded to the Zebra Royal lodge instead of the Zebra Plains tent camp. What a pleasant surprise!Our game drives in the Masai Mara led by Peter were breathtaking. He was able to find the elusive leopard for us. When it came time to move on to the Serengeti in Tanzania, Peter made sure we were safely through immigration and united with our Tanzanian guide, Walter. We drove directly to the park in the Northern Serengeti in hopes of seeing the Great Migration. We had a vehicle issue where Walter needed to stay to try to fix the problem. He made sure that we were escorted safely to Pure Migration Camp. He also made sure that we were well informed that our next day plans would proceed as planned. Sure enough, at 630 am Walter was ready to go to the park for another attempt to see the migration. While the wildebeest were there in great numbers at the rivers edge, they did not cross because there were crocs waiting for a meal. Walter took us from crossing site to crossing site. Even though they didn’t cross, seeing all those herds of wildebeest gathering to cross was amazing. Throughout the entire game drive, Walter made sure we saw all the wildlife that we would have missed if he hadn’t pointed it out. The lush Northern Serengeti is teeming with zebras , impalas, wildebeests, lions, many birds, etc. We also explored the Central Serengeti and the Ngorongora Crater.
The crater is an absolute visual masterpiece. An animal paradise! After exploring the crater, we began making our way to the Kilimanjaro Airport for our evening flight to Zanzibar to finish out our African holiday. On the way , we were able to meet Zephania in person. It’s always nice to put a face to a name. Zanzibar was perfection. It was the best place to finish up our visit to Africa. It’s a people paradise. As you can see,
we had a lot of moving pieces to our 13 day adventure. Every piece was planned flawlessly by Zephania and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Every transfer, lodge, tent camp, guide, and excursion planned went off without a hitch. Our communications and concerns were always addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. My husband and I give Roadside Tanzania a 10 out of 10. If you ever want to travel to Africa for a safari adventure, I highly recommend Roadside Tanzania for an outstanding experience from start to finish!!!

Best Safari Experience of Our Life – Thank You Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
We just returned from what we can confidently say is the best trip of our lives – a 8 days full private safari experience across Tanzania and Kenya, arranged by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We spent 5 nights in Tanzania (Tangagire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti), 2 nights in Kenya (Maasai Mara). From the start, everything was smooth, well-planned, and comfortable.
A very special mention goes to our Tanzania guide, Mr. Ezekiel Senkoro. He speaks excellent English, and we immediately “clicked” with him – friendly, patient, with sense of humour, extremely knowledgeable, and with amazing spotting skills. Thanks to him, we managed to see 38 out of 45 animals on our list in just a few days and we learn alot about the wildlife animals, including unforgettable moments watching the Great Migration not once, but twice in two days at the Mara River. Truly breathtaking!
In Kenya, we had a shorter stay, but our guide Joe was equally dedicated and managed to fulfill our final wish – spotting the exclusive rhino and completing our Big 5 sightings.
If you are looking for a private safari tour with comfort, professionalism, and unforgettable experiences, we highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. They gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime.

Amazing tour and experience!
We had a great time in our honeymoon trip. Got to see so many amazing animals, even so many lion cubs! I think we saw 18 lions in one day which was a highlight as there was a big pride with little ones we got to see. We were very lucky on our trip but we also had an amazing driver, Gadiel who I highly recommend. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions is an excellent company that is reliable, provides great communication and listens to the customer to help customize the experience if you’d like to or can make great recommendations whenever needed. 10/10 recommend.

Tanzania roadside expedition is the best
Our recent safari trip organized by Tanzania roadside expedition was nothing short of magical and satisfaction.
I reached out to Zephania whom is not only helpful but also very patience with all the queries I have had throughout the planning process since a year ago. They offered the most flexible payment terms which non other companies could compete.
Our guides Ezy and James were so knowledgeable with excellent eyesights to spots all big 5 near and far plus many unforgettable moments. Most important, we even witnessed the big wildebeest migration that we were all looking forward to with this trip! Zephania had also helped arranging luxury lodges that made our stay comfortable and relaxing after a long day of game drive. Overall we are very pleased with the entire trip and definitely recommend friends to Tanzania roadside expedition

Outstanding and responsive
We worked with Zephania to plan our dream vacation through Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and they far exceeded our expectations. Zephania was flexible, meeting with us on video through WhatsApp several times, adjusting our itinerary professionally and quickly. We were updated each step of the way.
Our safari tour guide, Laurian, was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. He knew so much about each animal we saw and each area we passed through. He became like part of our family during our 6 night mainland safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti.
We then transitioned to 4 nights in Zanzibar, also a part of our package with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Our driver, Salum and tour guide for Stone Town and Prison Island, Juma, were knowledgeable and helpful. They even located a pair of sunglasses I left behind on one tour!
The entire trip was unforgettable. We highly recommend Tanzania Roaside Expeditions for planning your trip of a lifetime! We learned a lot and had fun every step of the way.
We were picked up at the airport by Doreen and were in good hands. She welcomed us and assisted with a lost bag issue from the airlines. All of the people we worked with through Tanzania Roadside Expeditions were helpful, thorough and made our vacation amazing!
Knowledgeable safari guide
Our guide, Kim, made our safari in the Masai Mara very special. Seeing the animals is of course fascinating, but he was so incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about each and every animal. His eye sight was also amazing and he could spot an animal from so far away! He was also very friendly and warm, and we felt very well taken care. We also appreciated the team's flexibility as we were planning our safari as they provided many different personalised options to explore Kenya. Highly recommend Tanzania Roadside.

Best Safari Experience with Steven Hariah and Roadside!
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in the Serengeti with our guide, Steven. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and experienced, always knowing where to go and how to make the best use of our time. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, including the rare sightings of both a leopard and a rhino.
Steven created opportunities for some of the most remarkable wildlife encounters we could have imagined: a pride of lions preparing for a hunt, a mother cheetah with two cubs (who even jumped onto our jeep!), a group of 18 playful lion cubs, and a mother leopard with two newly born cubs. We also observed a leopard feeding on a warthog right outside our lodge over several days.
Beyond his guiding skills, Steven was fun and chill throughout the trip. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the national parks, wildlife behavior, and Tanzanian culture, which made the entire experience both educational and enjoyable.
We booked the luxury package, and the accommodations were fantastic. Sametu Lodge was a particular highlight where we spotted a leopard, a lion, giraffes, and elephants just outside our room.
The sales process was also seamless. Paul, the manager, was very responsive from the start and a pleasure to work with. He was patient in answering all of our questions and very reasonable throughout the booking process, which gave us great confidence in choosing this company.
On top of that, we had a special request related to health research, collecting Dagga fish samples from local markets. Citizen scientists Zepha, Kassim, and Steven went above and beyond to generously assist us in gathering different samples, which we deeply appreciated.
This safari exceeded all of our expectations, and Steven, Zepha, Paul, and the entire team made it truly special. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a Serengeti adventure.
