Best Safari Experience of Our Life – Thank You Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!
We just returned from what we can confidently say is the best trip of our lives – a 8 days full private safari experience across Tanzania and Kenya, arranged by Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We spent 5 nights in Tanzania (Tangagire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti), 2 nights in Kenya (Maasai Mara). From the start, everything was smooth, well-planned, and comfortable.
A very special mention goes to our Tanzania guide, Mr. Ezekiel Senkoro. He speaks excellent English, and we immediately “clicked” with him – friendly, patient, with sense of humour, extremely knowledgeable, and with amazing spotting skills. Thanks to him, we managed to see 38 out of 45 animals on our list in just a few days and we learn alot about the wildlife animals, including unforgettable moments watching the Great Migration not once, but twice in two days at the Mara River. Truly breathtaking!
In Kenya, we had a shorter stay, but our guide Joe was equally dedicated and managed to fulfill our final wish – spotting the exclusive rhino and completing our Big 5 sightings.
If you are looking for a private safari tour with comfort, professionalism, and unforgettable experiences, we highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. They gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime.

Great Ezperience
Excellent experience. Good communication. We had a very tight schedule because we had to catch a flight to Zanzibar. It was perfect. We were able to see all the animals and arrive at the airport on time. I recommend it.

Review
Thanks to Lavina and Women Adventure Africa, I was able to have an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania and Zanzibar. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
From our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania, we were in the capable hands of Lavina Victor and her staff.
We were a large group, over 60 people, including a number of teenagers. It was my third trip to Africa, and to be honest, I was a little apprehensive about the size of the group we were traveling with. Coordinating a group that large is not an easy task. My other concern was that we would be taking the Safari in April, during the rainy season (from mid-March to May). I can honestly say I did not expect to see as many animals as we did!
The night before we left Arusha for the Safari, Lavina introduced us to our guides and they explained the itinerary. They assured us that we would be seeing many different animals. We left early in the morning in a caravan of 4 x 4’s to Ngorongoro. The drivers were in constant communication with each other for the drive from Arusha to Ngorongoro.
We were blown away by the incredible array of wildlife that we got to see in Ngorongoro. We saw vultures, lions, elephants, zebras, buffalos, giraffes, flamingos, antelopes, jackals, hippos, and a rhino. and many more. The communication between our drivers and guides made a big difference. They were able to alert each other when they spotted anything interesting. They alerted us to a pride of lions around a dead zebra just a few feet off of the road, that we never would have seen due to the high grass.
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wildlife. Together, working as a team the guides and drivers were able to find the best viewing locations. They shared fascinating facts, assisted with picture taking, and ensured we had an outstanding experience. They made sure we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip and we knew we could rely on them.
Our Safari, was just one portion of our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Women Adventure Africa made the entire experience truly unforgettable. The hotel accommodations at each location were excellent!
Lavina not only coordinated the Safari, but also, among other things, a trip to a local Tanzania school, a trip to a Masai village, trips to various markets, a stay in Zanzibar, a trip to Changuu Island, and our ultimate return to New York. From the beginning to the end, she was in complete control and the service was exemplary.
Thanks to Lavina and her crew, we had the perfect balance of adventure, education, and fun. We left with a ton of unforgettable memories from our safari with Women Adventure in Africa.
I will likely return to Africa for another Safari with a smaller group, and probably to the Serengeti. The first person I will contact will be Lavina!

A patient tour operator who truly listens and stays unperturbed through multiple iterations
We all enjoyed our 9D/8N Kenyan safari with "Across the Wild" team and our guide Tony Kitusa. He was a wonderful driver and guide and gave us tons of information, not just about the game parks and safari but also about the country especially how Kenya produced top notch log distance runners/athletes year after year. At Lake Nakuru, it initially appeared as if he was in a hurry to rush the safari because he kept going in spite of us asking him to stop to take pics of pelicans. However, within 15 min, his game plan was revealed to us and we realized how blessed we were to have the right guide. His goal was to ensure we spotted the Big Five during our kenyan safari and in Lake Nakuru it was the Rhino. Tony always ensured we magically got to just the right spot before the animals appeared, and it's amazing how knowledgeable he is about all the plants, animals and geography of all the game reserves .
Fina Urio from Across the Wild was very easy to work with and all the arrangements went smoothly. Our accommodations were excellent, especially Kongoni, Lake Naivasha; Outspan, nyeri and Jambo @Masai Mara. I would very highly recommend Fina and Tony to be your Travel planner and guide for a hasslefree Kenyan holiday.

Amazing 11 Day Africa Safari Experience with Meru Slopes
We had the most incredible and unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Meru Slopes from 8/28-9/7. This wonderful 11 day trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We are extremely satisfied and grateful for the service and care provided by the entire Meru Slopes team. The food was great, the accomodation was clean and comfortable, and the game drive was exciting, and the overall itenary was well planned. This was not easy for our large group that needed 10 Safari vehicles.
Our driver and guide Samwil went above and beyond to make our trip amazing and trouble free. He was so friendly and accommodated all our needs without hesitation, often sacrificed his own time. In Lake Natron we were separated from other people from our vehicle by moving to another camp, and he had to come to two places to pick us up. As the result, he spent more than 1 hr round trip on the road, compared to other drivers in our group. And he did it happily. Every day, he cleaned our vehicle and picked up our personal belongings that we left behind. He drove carefully and checked our vehicle frequently to ensure it was problem free. With his guidance and help, we achieved all of goals of this trip and much more!
If you are looking for an Africa safari adventure filled with breathtaking views, excellent service, unforgettable memories, and unbeatable price, Meru Slope and Samwil is the perfect choice! Highly recommended.

Perfect organized tour for two persons to see wild animals and beautifull landscapes
We felt well advised by africa zim travel&tours even before booking. The whole tour went wonderfully. Times and agreements were honoured and our expectations of what we wanted to see were always met or exceeded. Mtho, our driver and sometimes guide, told us a lot about the countries, people and animals and had the patience to tell us the same thing sometimes four times if we didn't understand it or had already forgotten it. He always spread a good mood with his manner. He drove us safely over the sometimes bumpy and dusty roads.
The selected hotels, rooms and meals were consistently good to luxurious.
Overall, it was a varied and exciting trip and well worth the price.
