Excellent tour operator did a great job w/ short notice, tight budget & specific dates.
5/5

I very highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD, Zephania Abduel and our knowledgeable and lovely safari guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania for making our bucket-list African holiday a dream come true. This trip was amazing despite our relatively tight budget, only 2 months advance planning with specific dates of travel, lodging needs for a room with 3 adult beds, and hopes for 50/50 safari and resort style vacation which required flights as well.

We actually asked for quotes from a handful of other companies, most of which were either slow to respond, had high quotes out of our range, or said they could not help us due to the short time frame. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions replied immediately and said they could help us. Zephania met with us via Zoom so he could clearly understand our specific needs. (I think he works 24/7 because he was always responsive within a few hours.) He planned the itinerary and booked a vacation package that was perfect for us.

Zephania took care of our ride from the airport to the hotel and included our requested ‘jetlag’ day before we started our safari. We saw 3 different safari parks with different lodging types between Kenya and Tanzania which were all amazingly unique and wonderful. Everyone was so friendly, and we felt very safe. Our guides, Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania, were so helpful and shared their vast knowledge with us inside the parks regarding the animals (got us so close to the animals) and outside of the parks in regard to teaching us about the people and their different cultures.

Zephania’s associate met us in Zanzibar to for our final part of our vacation. We had a tour and snorkeling and plenty of pampering and scuba diving for several days, all of which was perfect.

I cannot more highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD with Zephania Abduel and guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezikiel Maasai in Tanzania. They provided excellent service.

Professional, prompt, personable, knowledgeable and dedicated to deliver the only best!
5/5

From the moment we got in touch with the company, they have been on point about answering all our inquiries. All questions were answered with amazing promptness. They worked with us to accommodate all our requests, adjust the itinerary according to our preferences and keep us within our budget.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the beautiful smile of “Ezekiel” who was very kind and gave us a great run down of the city Arusha. Clear directions by each person were given to us with very punctual pickup and drop off times.
Hand offs at each location were well planned. Our safari guide “Justin” was just amazing, full of energy and knowledge about the game drive..clearly passionate about his work. He worked with us on each step to make sure we took pictures and saw the animals up close. He was patient, kind and managed time exceptionally well. All the way to Zanzibar, the company had excellent coordination to make sure our stay was perfect!
Above all,” Zephania “ was an excellent manager of the company. Very reliable and honest. Loved our Safari and he went over and beyond to arrange for a birthday cake and a celebration for me at one of the lodges we stayed at. They sure made it memorable..plan to send my boys next year on a safari with this company!
Thank you to all the team at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

Absolutely fantastic!
5/5

We went on a 3-day safari for the first time and we couldn't be happier to have chosen this company, the service was excellent, our guide Ezekiel was simply fantastic, very attentive and friendly, he made our trip even more special, he always strived to provide us with an incredible experience, we were able to see the animals more closely thanks to Ezekiel.
The only negative point is the lunch we took with us on safari. The lodges prepare a lunch box, but the food isn't very good.
When we return to Tanzania we will definitely choose this company again and we will recommend them to our friends. They are incredible and very professional.
Thank you for a magical 3 days!
Thank you Ezekiel 🙏

On the 17th of April 2024 myself and 2 other climbers started ascending to Uhuru Peak under the mantle of Tanzanian Roadside Expeditions on the Marangu Route 6 days led by guide Peter, assistant guide Jackson, a cook, and 9 porters.

We were treated like royalty, professionals, excellent meals, crazy strong porters, best guides ever, to make it to the top of Uhuru Peak under dire weather circumstances.
Hey! Do yourself a favor guys, pass go and book with these guys, they will go the extra mile for you and give you a glorious experience. FIVE STARS 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 💛 👌

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.
