Great experience
I spent a lot of time learning about the parks and reading reviews. What I liked about Tanzania Roadside was Paul's flexibility when planning my trip. 7/6 nights. I switched on of the accommodations and added a 3rd night to Sarrenngeti at the upscale kuba kuba.
First off all accommodations were nice, with great service and generally felt the staff was amazing. Are guide had 5 years working with same company and shared knowledge some and looked up answers to our questions if required from his reference books. He was easy with a smile and never rattled even when he had to change the tire for 2nd time. He also stopped so we could gift kids soccer balls we brought and a unscheduled stop at local school to gift supplies.
We found are own way to Arusha and stayed at a simple hotel for night. Paul and Ezekiel arrived as scheduled for pick up. We went over trip and were on our way. 1st stop Tarangire.
Next day lake Manyara by back way. Then 2 nights at Kati kati Sarrenngeti and a 3rd in Kuba Kuba last night at Rhino camp that was cozy in its own way. Last day we did Ngorongoro crater before heading back to Arush last day.
I think we got good bang for our bucks and were able to see every thing including big five. Money transfer was easy. This company is all local people, not a international business. I gave it 4.5 stars

Small company with a very dedicated owner
Paul, the owner of the company, really puts a LOT of effort into planning your safari and make the best out of your stay. The safari itself was amazing and the accommodations fully met/exceeded our expectations. Our driver was very knowledgable, however, he made it very clear that he would rather be with his family (it was around Christmas time). We of course understand this but this put us in a very uncomfortable situation. He only answered our questions but did not tell us a lot by himself. We also booked a beach vacation on Zanzibar with Tanzania Roadside Expedition after our safari. This part we wouldn't book again with them as we had a very unpleasant experience in the hotel booked for us (but Paul was again VERY helpful).
All in all we absolutely loved our experience and think it is very rare that someone puts as much effort into client servicing as Paul does. It was not "perfect" due to some things as listed below but your value for money is great and you sure will have a great vacation if you book with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Huge Deliviery from a Small Operator
The communication regarding arrangements was very good. Everything that we asked was adequately answered and more. All questions were promptly answered and always with a kind gesture. Paul, the tour operator, 'tailor-made' our tour to fit our bucket list.
Although we never got to see the river crossing due to the late rain, our guide, James, made sure that we saw the migration. We appreciate his trouble for doing this! James was very knowledgeable and keenly answered all our questions. He adhered to our requests and ensured that we saw a lot of game. From start to finish, James went out of his way to help us and make sure that our Tanzanian experience was up to expectations, this included taking us to 'shop' before and after the safari.
Our chef, Osmani, is fit to cook for a king. His food and hospitality is hard to match. We are still wondering how he managed to make so many delicious dishes, including the packed lunches, with such limited resources.
Compared to other operators that we saw at campsites, our camping equipment was much better and more spacious.
The overall service and experience was fantastic. All three gentlemen that we dealt with: Paul, James and Osmani treated us like royalty. We appreciate their hospitality and strong recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Very helpful but could have been perfect
The organizers were very flexible with us although we sent our request very late. They could organize us a last minute trip which went well.
On the way to different parks, we saw other guides explaining a lot of things to the groups and showing them a lot of things on the maps. Ours was kind of silent and not very proactive, we had always to ask about things to get answers and information.

Excellent tour company
Wonderful tour company. We were able to customize our tour. Very reasonably priced with 5 star accommodations and food. Paul the owner was easy to communicate with. Ezekiel was an excellent tour guide and he knows all the parks well including the back roads and shortcuts so we were able to see thousands of animals. Book early for the best accommodations as they do fill up early. It was the best choice to go with a local tour company. They love showing off their country and they do it wel.

Reliably, customers friendly, experienced.
I enjoyed my trip with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions very much, the communication with the company was perfect, they kept everything which was agreed. The guide was friendly, experienced, I got a lot of informationn about the park and wildlife, and he was also an excellent driver. If I come to Tamzania again in the future, I will contact Tanzania Road Expeditions again.

Excellent service
It was great to make two trips with Roadside Tanzania. We went with a group of seven a full day to Tarangire National Park, and about a week later with a different group of 7 a full day to the Ngorongoro crater. Both days went excellently well. Pick up was exactly on time. The guide on both trips (Ezekiel) was experienced and knew a lot about all aspects, not only the safari side, but also Tanzania & Masai culture and so on. The jeeps were good and performed well, lunch was great (not the usual 'box lunch' with sandwiches, but a warm lunch with rice, potatoes, vegetables and chicken). And enough water and soft drinks for all. Apart from the elusive leopard, we got to see all the animals we were hoping for. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

Perfect
Thank you so much to Gadiel. It made my Serengeti trip perfect, which I was looking forward to and worried about. I was worried about a safari tour during the rainy season, but the driving was perfect. Our car didn't have to worry about falling out. It was difficult for Koreans to have the mindset of African pollepolle and Hakunamata, but they did a great job so it didn't get hard at all. They set up all the schedules and worked well for us. 너무너무 추천합니다! 감사합니다
I can see big5 thank you gadiel
