A memorable safari trip to Tanzania during calving season
5/5

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.

Wonderful honeymoon
5/5

We don’t have words to describe this experience! Tanzania roadside company was our best choice without doubts. Zephania help us, since the beginning, for choose hotels and itinerary, adapting everything as we wanted and with a lot of commitment and respect! James was our guide and he was so professional , kind and respectful. Do you know that person who is passionate about what he does? That is him! That made everything more especial because he was always excited to show us what the safari had to offer. And, wow, he did know everything about the animals, we have learned so much!! We’ll pretend to come back soon and we will contract tanzania roadside for sure!! We definitely recommended it!

Outstanding tour provider and a guide that made all the difference
5/5

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions arranged for our family of thee (with a 13 year old boy) a 5 days tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The professional, flexible and proactive office team of Tanzania Roadside made the booking process a very smooth one and we enjoyed every bit of it from pickup from Kilimanjaro Airport to farewell at Seronera air strip (off to Zanzibar). Walter who accompanied us during the whole safari made all the difference. He went out of his way to make our safari an amazing trip. Thanks to him, we felt safe at any point in time (great driving skills!) and his long years of experience clearly came through in his knowledge about wildlife and his skills in keeping our boy engaged. I highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expedition and we feel very lucky to have been able to spend our time in Tanzania with Walter.

An amazing trip with a reliable company and gamekeepers
5/5

6 days private safari to Kenya and Tanzania wildlife parks (Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Ngorongoro Crater)
My husband and I more than enjoyed the trip with the Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. Both of us traveled around the world a lot when we were 20's. Let’s say, each of us went for years to more than 80 countries including Antatica. That’s why it was difficult to decide on the honeymoon trip. We’d been searching crazily and finally made up our minds. The result was awesome. The company prepared and organized well for the trip, and was very responsive. It was good for us to ask questions and share worries such as payment ways, alternative accommodations, and personal details before starting the trip.
The trip was wonderful, gamekeepers, James in Kenya and Ezekel Masai in Tanzania, were amazing. They are great educators as well as safeguards. Their driving skills are so excellent that there is no need to worry about sticking in mud or passing through narrow curvy roads. They managed occasions professionally. What I liked the most was their manners and philosophy toward nature. Plus, because of their good sense of decision where we go from moment to moment, we could see all the big 5 clearly.
Of course, it was Masai Mara, Serengeti, and the crater. Any documentary films and pictures cannot fully reflect the beauty and mistic moments. People need to see at there.

TRE is a very experienced tour operator who provided an amazing experience
5/5

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 .

Amazing Experience
5/5

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!

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions
5/5

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!

Tanzania Roadside Expeditions coordinated an 8-day safari for me and my son. Managing Director Paul organized an incredible experience. From the preparation stage thru fulfilling all of our expectations, each day of our trip was fantastic. Our guide, Laurian, was outstanding and ensured that all of our personal requests were met. We highly recommend their services for an unforgettable adventure.
