the best safari tour
I went on a week-long safari tour from Nairobi (Kenya), through Amboseli National Park, and to Ngorongoro-Serengeti in Tanzania. I asked several tour companies to customize my itinerary, and among them, Roadside Expeditions was the one that understood my request perfectly and planned the itinerary.
The whole trip went smoothly, and the driver and guide were really friendly and welcoming. Thanks to them, we had a good rest, were safe, and were able to see and feel many animals and nature.
It was just perfect. Choose Roadside!
Special thanks to Zephaniah, Walter, Gadiel, and Peter. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Impeccable, reliable and caring in all respects
We could not have made a better choice, than to use Lion King as tour operator. After som communication with Maria at the head office it all came down to a very nice trip for me an my family (11 persons). We visited three parks and moved everyday to a new safari lodge. So it was some logistic to consider. It was spotless! not in one case did they fail in the arrangement.
We where very lucky to have Joseph and Leonard as our guides, they made each day interesting and fun. Very responible driving and they also knew how to get close to the animals. If you are going for a similar trip, ask for Leonard or Joseph, you will not regret it.
Thank you Lion King and thank you Leonard and Joseph for making this trip so memorable

Safari Trip in Kenya
I can’t even begin to explain the amazing experience we had with Meektrails! From booking to the end of the safari, everything was taken care of. They were accommodating, responsive and overall such a kind group of people! We had the best private tour with them and our guide was Gideon. Gideon was so patient, kind and knowledgeable! He made sure we got our photography shots!! There is nothing to worry about during our safari adventure because all things were taken care of. We visited Amboseli, Navaisha, Nakuru and Masai Mara in 6 days. We also enjoyed our hot air balloon ride with Balloon Safari. MUST do. We had an amazing breakfast inside Masai Mara. We’re already thinking about going back and we’ll definitely reach out to Meektrails again! Thank guys for the wonderful memories!!

Knowledgeable and funny
Very emotional tour leaning about the history of South Africa and its troubles. The visit to the Fort had me in tears. Very humbling to be shown around the settlement

Amazing Experience with Bugoli Adventures
I had an amazing gorilla trekking experience with Bugoli Adventures! I did the 2-Day Gorilla Trek in Bwindi, with pick up from Kigali. Michael, the owner of Bugoli Adventures, was very helpful and responsive in communicating and answering any questions I had prior to the trip. I also appreciate that he was able to secure me a gorilla trekking permit in less than a week prior to my expected trip, since I booked it late. On the day of the trip, my guide, Silver, picked me up from my hotel and was right on time. Silver was a great guide, and was a very friendly and genuine person. He was also very experienced and knowledgeable. The whole trip went smoothly. They booked a great lodge that provided all the meals during the trip. Additionally, they offered me the option to visit the Batwa pygmies the day before the trek, which I greatly appreciated. The gorilla trek itself (which is operated by Bwindi Forest Park Rangers) was amazing.
What sets Bugoli Adventures apart from other tour companies is its affordability for solo travelers such as myself. Given that the gorilla trekking permit itself costs $800, this is an already expensive tour at baseline. If you directly reach out to Michael/Bugoli Adventures instead of purchasing from GetYourGuide, you can negotiate the cost of the trip by changing some parameters, such as electing to stay at a cheaper hotel. The price I paid was amazing, and what I would have expected if I had split the trip with several people.

The perfect tour
Francis was an amazing tour guide! We saw all the big 5 (minus a rhino). Francis was able to scout out all the animals we wanted to see and was so quick getting us to them before they moved on. He gave us time to take photos and accommodated our every need. He was so friendly and had a great relationship with all the other guides. The camp we stayed in was lovely and had everything we needed for a short stay. The food was tasty and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean.
Fearless Francis was fantastic!
We were picked up in Nairobi as planned and felt instantly welcomed by Francis. The Masai safari was next level amazing, and on the first afternoon we were driven to within an arms length of giraffe, lions, zebras, water hogs, elephants, hyenas and jackals. The next day we drove to the Tanzanian border through some really exciting Landcruiser manoeuvres by our expert driver and saw on the way cheetahs, a jaguar and then at the river some
Hippos and crocs. The stillness of the land when parked up watching the animals is breathtaking. The bumpy roads, wind from the fresh air and the excitement of it all is exhausting but so, so worth it. Trip of a lifetime!
