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.

the best safari tour
I went on a week-long safari tour from Nairobi (Kenya), through Amboseli National Park, and to Ngorongoro-Serengeti in Tanzania. I asked several tour companies to customize my itinerary, and among them, Roadside Expeditions was the one that understood my request perfectly and planned the itinerary.
The whole trip went smoothly, and the driver and guide were really friendly and welcoming. Thanks to them, we had a good rest, were safe, and were able to see and feel many animals and nature.
It was just perfect. Choose Roadside!
Special thanks to Zephaniah, Walter, Gadiel, and Peter. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Spectacular Tanzanian Safari with exceptional manager and guide
Our family’s safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, everything was seamlessly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.
selection of lodges and camps was outstanding, offering not only comfort but also breathtaking scenery that made us feel deeply connected to the wilderness.
Our guide, Justin, was exceptional. His fluency in English, wealth of knowledge, and passion for wildlife made every moment exciting and educational. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from a distance and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. Thanks to him, we saw an astonishing variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, dozens of lions, a thrilling cheetah hunt, lion eating kill, wildebeest migration and more !
This safari exceeded all expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. With Zepha’s meticulous planning and Justin’s expert guidance, this was truly the adventure of a lifetime!

Unforgettable Safari with Exceptionnal Guide and Management
My recent Safari with Tanzania Roadside Expedition exceeded all expectations, delivering an absolutely incredible wildlife experience. From start to finish, the trip was flawlessly executed, thanks in large part to the outstanding service provided by Zepha and our guide, Justin.
Zepha, the manager, was a pleasure to communicate with. He was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. His attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction was truly impressive. Beyond the excellent communication, Zepha's choices for our accommodations were simply incredible. Each lodge and camp offered breathtaking views, unparalleled comfort, and a true sense of immersion in the Tanzanian wilderness. It was clear that he prioritized our comfort and experience.
Our guide, Justin, was phenomenal. His English was perfect and he was exceptionally well-spoken, making him a joy to be around. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was vast, and he shared his expertise with enthusiasm. Justin consistently went the extra mile to ensure we had the "best seat in the house" for every wildlife sighting, resulting in truly unforgettable moments.
And what sightings we had! We were fortunate enough to witness the Big Five, over 50 lions (an extraordinary number!), a thrilling live cheetah kill, the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration, and countless other incredible animal encounters. Justin's skill in spotting and positioning us for these moments was truly remarkable.
This safari was a dream come true, and I cannot recommend Tanzania Roadside Expedition highly enough. If you’re looking for a well-organized, enriching, and thrilling safari experience with a dedicated team, luxurious accommodations, and a guarantee of incredible wildlife encounters, look no further. Ask for Justin and Zepha, you won't be disappointed

I chose this based on Korean blogs and reviews. At first, I was worried about communication, but we were able to chat smoothly via WhatsApp without any major difficulties, and they tailored the experience to my preferences.
Thanks to Gadi, our guide for 4 nights and 5 days, we saw so many animals, including rhinos and leopards. He really put in a lot of effort to show us as much as possible. We also got to witness breathtaking natural landscapes, making this an unforgettable honeymoon.
If I get the chance, I would love to visit again.
Paul and Gadi, thank you once again!
혹시라도 여행사 선택을 앞두고있는 한국분들 계신다면 후회없는 여행이 되실거에용 . 왓츠앱으로 번역기 돌려가며 열심히 소통했고 하나하나 잘 설명해줘서 큰 어려움 없었습니닼 ㅋㅋ 킬리만자로 공항부터 픽업와주고 투어 첫날 대표 폴이 직접 호텔로와서 모든 일정 브리핑도 해줌. 가이드였던 가디도 최고였어용

Our guide Ezekiel was absolutely professional, funny and managed to answer all the questions we had.
Doing the Safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater was one of the most wonderful experiences in our whole life.
It is not only about the masses of different animals you can see there, but also for the beautiful countryside, the great view into the crater and the different lodges for the night.
The service and food in the camps was good, the staff was friendly and every lodge had its own unique atmosphere.
