Our wonderful guide, Elisha.
I was so lucky to have Elisha as the guide on my trip to Tanzania. He is very knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy, and fun!
He was able to meet all of the demanding individual preferences of our large group without being stressed.
I will be returning to Nairobi in 5 months and Orange Adventure has already provided cost effective options for both travel and accommodations.
I highly recommend Elisha as your guide!

The most amazing experiance I ever had.
I had looked around for a good priced budget safari and found Sunsplash, my expactations where therefor not the highest (you get what you pay for).
OMG..... So wrong I Where.....
The driver where 5minutes late for pickup, and there office called us up (I had left my kenyan prepaid number) and told us this. The car wasn't the newest (mini van) that didn't matter, where the 4x4 got caught in mud, our driver managed to drive. The guide managed to find us 4 of the big 5 (not rhino). We saw lion famely feeding on a just caught buffolo, lion cubs. We saw over 30 elephants and a not countable number of wilderbeast, impala, gasell, zebras, buffalos, baboons, hippos and more.
I cant understand the people that complain of the food in the camp, it was simple but delicius!!!
When I go back to Kenya I will go with them again.
A little tip:
Buy some snacks (in Nairobi) to bring on the safari, the days can be very long.

Communicating with Galloping safaris was easy and the holiday was customized to our needs.
The safari was well planned using the Lemala tented camps which i would strongly recommend to those that want a truely memorable experience. The service at all the camps that we visited was excellent and the staff were very friendly and jovial, the "bush TV" in the evenings is a wonderful part of the day, relaxing around a warm fire with cold beers. In the southern serengeti we were visited in the camp by a pride of lions which was an experience that we will never forget. For those that really want to be in close contact with the animals and to be able to see them without worrying about the roads, then a rented vehicle with a professional guide is the best way to visit the game parks. Our guide for the trip was Maxi and through him we were able to see all of the big 5, even the tree lions in Manyara and the Serengeti. Galloping Safaris is not a large outfit but they are locally run and managed and becuase of this i believe that they can provide a more personalised service, even going so far to provide me with a bottle of champagne on my birthday !! If i return for a Safari to Tanzania i would certainly use Galloping Safaris with Maxi as our guide.

Amazing holiday with a wonderful guide!
We had the most amazing time on the big cats safari ! Elisha was great fun and a wonderful guide. He made us feel safe and comfortable at all times and was the best spotter in the Serengeti- it was such an amazing and exciting experience! Nothing was a bother and he was happy to work with our specific needs. Highly recommend! Thank you for the amazing memories- we will be back!!

Excellent service, personally tailored and rapid response to a last minute booking
Safari overall was excellent, with a good choice of locations and experiences as per our request and interests. Darren responded promptly to our initial approach, prepared the tour plan and followed up with us personally and the operators throughout our safari to ensure everything was on track. Exceptional service and highly recommended.

incredible experience for Safaris and Zanzibar holiday!!!
me and my friends a group of 6 peoples in January, we booked Serengeti safaris and beach holiday in Zanzibar. The Roadside services are really amazing!! since the starting point of our planning all arrangements were quite excellent. Safaris Driver Guide James was really helpful and provide good explanation about animals and plants. we had good time with Massai cultural tour. Our safaris were not too expensive compare with other companies that we sent request before so we decided to visit stone town and had lovely relax in Nungwi beach Zanzibar island. Highly recommended Roadside Tanzania!!.

Absolutely Fantastic
I just wanted to tell you that we had the most amazing trip through Tsavo East/West and Salt Lick with Edward.
We saw 10 lions, a cheetah, and countless other amazing animals.
We had the best - experience - ever.
Edward is honestly one of the loveliest people we have ever met. It was such a treat to have him take us on this adventure.
Thanks again for everything you did to arrange this trip for us. It was absolutely amazing.

Magical!
My boyfriend and I booked a 10-day trip, which included safari at Arathusa Lodge, a quick stop at Hippo Hollow for an elephant encounter, exploring Cape Town and it's surrounds (Grand Daddy Hotel) and finally a couple of days at the beach (The Last Word Hotel - beautiful!). Justin Perumal built the entire trip to perfection according to our interests and desires. Everything was perfectly organized and he followed up with us throughout the trip to ensure everything was to our liking. And wow - it really was! Arathusa was incredible in every way. The lodges were gorgeous, the staff super friendly and the rangers very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and always served with a view of the water hole and all the animals passing by to have a drink. While in Cape Town we did a wine tour in the Stellenbosch area with Sideways, which was also excellent! Unfortunately, our shark cage diving trip was cancelled due to stormy weather conditions, but Justin found alternative activities on very short notice and we ended up having a great day anyway.
Thank you for an exceptional experience and we warmly recommend PaperJet Travel to anyone who wishes to explore South Africa!

2nd Success in a Row with Kerry & Pembury
I first had the pleasure of working with Kerry in 2010 planning my honeymoon. The logistics were so smooth, and the staff we encountered at hotels and tour operators were so warm and welcoming that I contacted her again in February 2016 to plan a vacation for my family.
It was short notice, and required planning for a group of 6 people including a member with special needs for 9 days. All was planned efficiently, communication was always clear and fast, suggestions offered were on point.
The real curve-ball; we missed our flight to Cape Town and although I immediately emailed Kerry about it, I could not tell her when we'd be able to reschedule our flights. She cancelled our immediate bookings but managed to keep all bookings and schedules somehow on standby.
When I confirmed our re-booked flights to her (which was 4 days after original date), she rescheduled everything in a way where we still made the most of all of ours days and without missing any of our original plans. Hotels/lodges usually only have 1-2 special needs rooms so re-working those dates was particularly tricky.
The only additional fee we had to pay was for insisting on a specific date for one of our tours which was a personal preference. Had we been more flexible on that particular date, there wouldn't have been any additional charges at all.
I'd comfortably recommend Kerry to anyone planning a trip to SA, and would happily enlist her services again for myself and family.
