This is a responsible and enthusiastic travel agency.
Wilson, our driver and tour guide, left a deep impression on me,he can always find animals very quickly and tell us a lot of stories about Africa and Kenya, when we have some problems with the hotel, he can always deal with them quickly and satisfy us.

Wonderful service and itinerary
We are a group of 18 friends and Tanzania Roadside Expedition provided excellent service from the moment we reached out to them till we arrived home. The guides esp. Justin and Geoege put in all their efforts to show us what safari provided during the time we were there. We saw wildebeests crossing twice, adult and baby leopards, black rhino, hippos, cheetahs, lions many times and many others. It was an amazing lifetime experience. ALL of us were happy with the service and will recommend it to our friends without any hesitation.

Well informed, very personable, easy to get along with
Stanford was my guide and I was very happy with him, and spending time with him.
Bayete Lodge was nice for the first night, as was the river cruise, but the Boma dinner was not a highlight for me. Very touristy, food was poor. I had upset stomach for next 3 days. It would have been enough to just do the cruise and eat dinner back at Bayete.
Hwange.
I have some questions/issues with how this was planned.
1. Why did we drive a sedan from Vic Falls to the hotel for 2 1/2 hours over some atrocious roads? Why not a 4x4? Safety was definitely a concern.
2. Why did Stanford drive me to Hwange lodge but then not be my driver/guide? He basically stayed there for 5 nights while I went on game drives and relaxed by the hotel. We saw each other sporadically but only because I think he felt like he needed to check in on me.
3. Why did you not put me on a transport bus instead? Did I pay for Stanford's food and lodging for those 5 days?
4. I very much liked the Hwange Lodge hotel but it's 30 minutes outside the main gate of Hwange, gates only open at 6am and close by pm.
5. Bheki - the guide/driver working for Hwange Lodge was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable and funny.

Adventure of a Lifetime
Our visit to Tanzania was an Adventure of a Lifetime. Tanzania exceeded my expectations which were already high!
Serengeti was teaming with animals and I was amazed at how close you were to most of the animals. Our guide, Enoch from Unlimited Expeditions, made all the difference with his knowledge of the culture and animals including where to find them. The highlight for me was witnessing the Mara Crossing of the Great Migration.
Really appreciated that the weather was great with virtually zero insects to bother us.
I will be highly recommending safaris in Tanzania.

Beautiful country, friendly people and amazing nature
My recent holiday to Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular. The landscapes were breathtakingly beautiful, each park offering its own unique scenery that made every visit worthwhile. From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the lush greenery of the Ngorongoro Crater, the diversity of the landscapes was truly awe-inspiring.
The people of Tanzania were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The tour guides were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had the best possible experience. Their insights into the local culture and wildlife added a rich layer of understanding to our journey.
And speaking of wildlife, Tanzania did not disappoint. The abundance of amazing wildlife, from majestic elephants to elusive leopards, made every safari an adventure. Each park had its own unique array of animals, making it worth visiting multiple parks to fully appreciate the diversity of Tanzania’s wildlife.
Overall, Tanzania is a destination that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and incredible wildlife. It was a holiday that I will cherish forever

an incredible trip that you have to come!
Really thanks Axis and Francis. I am a solo traveler joining the sharing group for 3-day Masai Mara trip. I guess different people from different operators form the group, someone from jocky(the operator did not answer my email) and Axis. It may happen in sharing group.
First, I really thanks for Cynthia, who with the prompt response and patience, gave me different choices for hotel selection. I think she understood about female solo travelers trouble and gave me the best choices. To consider safety, I select sopa as the hotel. But one thing need to mention, I would like to have balloon safari at the third day, but finally on the second. I think it may because they don’t want to pay one more day entrance fee for Masai Mara Park. Everyone should know the situation (I guess it is a potential rule for every operator).
Second, really appreciated for Francis, our guide with professional driving skills and information networking that knows where to find big five. He always occupied the best position to see animals. Thanks Francis!
Finally, I really happy to meet my team member, We took good photos and shared together, thanks for them!
It is an incredible and amazing trip that you have to come! Really lucky to meet my team member and guide here!

Serengeti Safari 5 days
I did 5 day Serengeti safari. It was a great experience and we saw some amazing animals. We spent 1 day in lake manyara, 1 day in tanagiere, 1 day in ngorongoro and 2 days in the Serengeti. The 5 days was a great length as it helped make the long drives out to the Serengeti worth it. The guide spoke great English and was very friendly. The accomodations were nice and comfortable, and the food was great. I highly recommend this tour and tour provider.

Kevin is the best guide ever!! Mufasa was the best choice!!
We booked our 3 safari tours with Mufasa in September-October. We were so lucky to have Kevin as our guide. He drove us around for a week in the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo West national parks. Kevin is a walking encyclopedia of wildlife and a specialist in birds. He was able to identify every bird we saw by looking or listening to them. He gave us cool information about animals that we saw along the way and was very knowledgeable of the best places to drive to see the wildlife. He was very friendly and kind. If I could give Kevin 10 stars, I would.
The last day we had also hired a different tour with Mufasa to go to the Nairobi Park. The driver was supposed to pick us up at 6:00am but didn't show up, so after some 20 minutes we contacted the company. They apologized profusely and within an hour and half they sent us another driver, who took us to the park. He offered to be with us for as long as we'd like although we had only booked it for some four hours. They really bent backwards to make it up for us. They even gave us a free ride to the airport as well.
Overall, we had an amazing experience with Mufasa. I would recommend them 100%.

We had a great time on our Safari thanks to Serengeti Smile
We can absolutely recommend Serengeti Smile! We booked a 13-day program, which included a 5-day safari and 7-8 days on Zanzibar. The people at Serengeti Smile were very helpful and responsive, and they helped us change the itinerary, so that we replace one of the days on Zanzibar with a visit to Lake Manyara. Our guide, Pius, has been amazing too! He is talkative, very knowledgeable of animal behaviour and hot spots to look out for. During the long days of driving and looking for animals, he was an absolute champion and made sure we used the day efficiently. With his help we were able to be super close to some very intimate moments of giraffes in Tarangire, who passed just next to our jeep, and also a mother lion and her 7 cubs!! We were so happy with our choice for safari company and we will look forward to being back in Tanzania again with them.
