The tour turned out to be EXACTLY as outlined by Paul Justine. No surprises. Honest.
The tour was planned several months in advance by us. The money was wired to the agency in 3 tranches. This is a honest Safari outfit. The outline of every day - including meals, hotels, additional costs - is clearly spelled out in advance. The vehicle (Land Cruiser) was comfortable and the driver/guide (in our case, Edwin) was polite/friendly/very knowledgeable. All in all, our Safari was enjoyable, thanks to the detailed organizational skills of Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Unforgettable experience!
Tanzania Roadside helped us to organize our 5 days safari. Idriss was our guide and he was perfect, always ready to answer all questions we had and also with spotting animals. What is also really important we felt really safe for whole time with him!
I can totally recommend organizing a safari with them and for sure if I will go to safari again I will organize it with them! Thank you for amazing time!

Best private safari for best value
Highly recommend picking your safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We did an 11 day tour, starting in Kenya before heading to Tanzania and ending with two days in Zanzibar. From all my research, Roadside was by far the cheapest for what we were looking for, but that didn't detract at all from the luxury private safari experience. Bonus!
From the first communication, Paul and team were always helpful and quick to respond to any questions - and we had a lot. They were also supportive of the numerous changes we made to the tour as we decided what to add/drop multiple times over.
During the tour, both guides were very professional and knowledgeable (as well as the city guide in Stone Town). We got to see the Big 5, not an aspiration we had before going, but Idris really pulled through our last day on safari and got us to the rhino a minute before it disappeared back into the forest.
All the hotels we stayed at were great. We were uncertain about the Rhino Lodge when we first showed up as it didn't look to be the same level as the other hotels, but the Cape Buffalo, Elephants and other animals that wandered right through the property as you sit out on your porch are worth the rustic vibe. As a vegetarian, I also had plenty of food options at all the hotels and the brown box lunches we had on safari days were also full, so I never felt hungry.
If I'm ever fortunate enough to do another safari in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to book with Roadside again.

Dream-Trip with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
We had a wonderful trip to Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Paul is a very competent organizer and always responded promptly during the planning phase and when we had questions. The joy of meeting each other was great when we were picked up at the airport. Justine, our safari guide, my husband, and I got along very well. Justine was very attentive and enthusiastic, ensuring that we had a great time and could see the Big Five. The mid-range lodges chosen by Paul were perfect for us. We thank you very much and can wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expedition.

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
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!

Amazing Experience
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!

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

A memorable safari trip to Tanzania during calving season
We started our Tanzanian safari and it was like stepping into a wonderland. We traveled through wild places, visiting Tarangire, Ndutu, the grand Serengeti for a couple of nights, and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater.
Our hotels were amazing, each with its own charm. Gran Melia Arusha gave us a warm welcome, hinting at the luxury to come. Serena Lake Manyara had incredible views that fit right in with the surroundings. Melia Serengeti was a peaceful hideaway among the animals, and Serena Ngorongoro was a snug place to relax after our exciting days.
But the star of our trip was Justin, our guide. He knew the savannah like the back of his hand and found the Big 5 animals quickly—three on the first day alone! Other guides even followed his lead. Justin wasn’t just about finding animals; he knew all about the land’s history and the balance of nature. He was always there, happy to chat, and super professional. He made our trip special with his friendly attitude and constant kindness. One amazing moment was when Justin spotted a group of lions that we couldn’t see. He guessed they were getting ready to hunt. He was right—later, we saw over 30 lions eating a bison. It was an intense and rare sight, showing the raw side of nature.
Our visit was during the calving season, so we saw lots of baby animals. It was a soft side to the wildness we saw with the lions. We got to see the full circle of life, from babies being cared for to predators in action.
Our safari was a mix of beautiful views, fancy hotels, and the best guidance. Being part of nature’s flow was special, and Justin played a big part in making our trip unforgettable. If you want to explore Africa’s heart, this safari will stay with you forever.
