Well worth
This trip was well worth the price and offered plenty of flexibility to customize the itinerary based on where we wanted to go and how we preferred to explore each destination. The tour company handled all the tickets, permits, hotels, and logistics, allowing us to relax and enjoy the entire experience without worrying about the details.
A special thank-you to our guide, Edward. His outgoing personality, positive energy, and enthusiasm created a fun and welcoming atmosphere throughout the trip. We truly appreciated having him as our guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Birding in Uganda
The July birdwatching trip to Uganda exceeded my expectations, both in the number of birds and the diversity of species we observed. Kibuga Davis delivered the planned itinerary and also added several extra birding hotspots along the way, giving us the chance to see species that were not originally expected.
When our plans had to change because the target birds were not found in Semuliki National Park, Kibuga quickly adapted the itinerary. Thanks to his flexibility, we were able to visit both Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo National Park, making excellent use of the extra time.
Forest birding is never easy, but Kibuga's outstanding knowledge, experience, and local network made the trip highly successful. The birds we saw were a direct result of his expertise and dedication.
I highly recommend Kibuga Davis as a birding guide and tour organizer. He is professional, resourceful, and truly committed to helping his clients achieve their birding goals. I would happily join another trip with him.
Smooth and organized trips, good planning
Our tour operator pepi did very good job on trip planning, and make super good deals for our trip with high end hotels and foods. Also our tour guides are very nice and professional, which makes our entire trip very smooth and pleasant, strongly recommended.

Best two weeks of our lives thanks to Paul and his team!
We booked a 14-day Kenya/Tanzania trip with RoadsideTanzania (Amboseli, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, ending with a few days in Zanzibar), and it's genuinely one of the best trips we've ever taken and a lot of that comes down to Paul and Walter.
Paul owns the company and designed the whole thing around what we actually wanted rather than a standard package. He was quick to respond throughout the planning process, and when we asked to adjust a few things along the way, he just made it happen …no friction, no upsell, just "sure, here's how." He also arranged a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti that ended up being one of the best mornings of the trip.
Walter was our guide in the vehicle, and by day two it stopped feeling like a tour and started feeling like traveling with a friend who happened to know everything about the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Africa. He didn't wait for us to ask questions and half the time we didn't even know what to ask. He’d just start pointing things out and explaining what we were looking at. He found us the most amazing animals and not only knew the names of all of them (how, we will never know), he’d find them in a guide book so we could learn more. He knew exactly where to take us, and it showed: lions strolling right up to the car, leopards lounging in the tree, herds of wildlife...it was so amazing!!! He was patient, kind, sharp, funny, and made sure we never missed a thing. He took such great care of us crossing the boarder, ensuring we were settled with accommodations...he was incredible!
We closed out the trip flying to Zanzibar, where Paul had arranged a great Stone Town tour before we headed to the other side of the island to scuba dive the reef…positively outstanding, and the perfect way to end two weeks that had already given us so much.
Between Paul's planning and Walter's guiding, we never once felt like we were managing our own trip, rather someone had already thought everything. If you're considering Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, book it, you'll have no regrets.... and ASK FOR WALTER!! This was the trip of a lifetime traveling from Los Angeles to Africa and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything unfolded.

A reliable and caring operator that handles every detail with thoughtfulness and expertise
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our guide Felix and the entire team for their thoughtful arrangements. On the day of our departure, there happened to be a parade in the city. We were initially concerned about traffic and safety, but the team was even more considerate than we could have hoped for they arranged for us to set off early, successfully avoiding the congestion and potential risks. That really put our minds at ease.
Felix, our driver-guide, impressed us with his professionalism. He has an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and always managed to position the vehicle at the perfect angle, giving us the best views for photos. The itinerary was well-planned—plenty of activities to fully experience the safari, yet the pace was relaxed and never overwhelming. We enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed.
From the initial communication to the execution of the trip, the entire service was reliable and reassuring. It was truly a trip that exceeded our expectations and offered great value for money. We have already recommended your agency to our family and friends.
Many thanks again to Simon and Felix!

Touring with Nelson was indeed spectacular
I am a solo traveler, but I was part of a tour group, mainly for gorilla trekking, and used *Ngorongoro Tours*. Nelson was our tour guide and we could not have had a better person. He was very supportive and knowledgeable.
All accommodations, trekking, game drives - all well organized making the experience relaxing and enjoyable. The chimpanzees and gorilla encounters were unforgettable.
Nelson did a fantastic job in providing options and suggestions for the group to have a wonderful experience. He even provided an extra night game drive to see if we could catch more animals in the wild.
He provided us an extraordinarily and memorable experience in every step of the way.
*I Highly recommend Ngorongoro Tours* for anyone looking for a wonderful and worry-free African Tour.
Touring with *Ngorongoro Tours* was truly incredible and all thanks to Nelson who was knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating, and very welcoming.
Perfect organization, great accommodations. 100% recommend *Ngorongoro Tours* for a worry-free African adventure!

Sospeter's expertise and passion turned an amazing safari into an unforgettable adventure.
Epic. Our African safari with Eliteways Travel exceeded every expectation and was one of the best family vacations we've ever taken.
From the beginning, Eliteway worked with us to create a custom itinerary that was perfect for our family. We visited four incredible national parks, spent time in Nairobi at both the beginning and end of the trip, experienced a breathtaking sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara followed by a champagne brunch, and were fortunate enough to see the Big Five. Every accommodation was excellent and offered tremendous value.
What truly made the trip unforgettable was having a dedicated guide for our family throughout the entire week. Sospeter was exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in making every day special. By the end of the trip, he felt like an extension of our family, and we've stayed in touch ever since.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, I can't recommend Eliteway highly enough. They delivered an unforgettable experience that our family will treasure for a lifetime.

Experience of a lifetime
From the minute we arrived in Tanzania Erimpala Safaris was there to make our experience memorable for our entire family. Erick and Patrick were available for booking and creating the adventure of our dreams. The cost and ease of booking and accommodations was top notch and luxurious-especially the Serengeti camp and meals. Our guide Erick is an excellent driver and knowledgeable about each of the national parks and the wildlife. He is professional, reliable, a storyteller and culinary master with delicious meals and finding the most interesting view and dining experience. Erick shared his beautiful country with us and is an incredible ambassador for Erimpala Safaris and Tanzania! We loved our experience and feel Erick became a part of our family and making our dreams come true—truly an experience of a lifetime.

Great safari and guide!!!
Sustainable Safari Tours is a fantastic organization. The owner, Joshua, is easy to reach and speaks excellent English; we had very pleasant communication while planning the safari beforehand. He is very flexible. Our itinerary included 3 days in the Serengeti, 1 day at Lake Manyara, 1 day in Tarangire, and a day in the Ngorongoro Crater.
We paid 4,500 euros, including accommodation and meals. We stayed in luxury tents equipped with showers, toilets, and comfortable beds.
We were lucky enough to go out with Joshua himself. What an amazing ranger and driver he is! He knows exactly how to spot the wildlife. In the Serengeti, we went on safari from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We really wanted to see the migration and the river crossing, and Joshua made sure we got there—it was truly amazing!
He is Maasai himself. It is incredibly special to hear firsthand stories about the traditions, way of life, and customs of his village. It was also wonderful to see how the Maasai boys look up to him and are so impressed by him.
We had a truly AMAZING safari!! Thank you, Joshua! 🙏 ❤️

Incredible Experience!
Coordinating and planning this trip with Julian was awesome. We were able to tailor our trip based on preferences, budget, amount of time, etc. Julian was always quick to respond to our questions and everything went smoothly. We had a last minute flight delay and were able to postpone our transfer to the airport.
Our trip was 10 days (5 safari, 5 in Zanzibar). Our guide/driver Patrick was incredible, we were actually sad to leave him when we had to go to Zanzibar.
He was super friendly, always willing to adjust the days plans/amount of time spent in the parks, and was so fun to have alongside us.
All of the accommodations were great, the food was delicious, and the service overall was 10/10!
Great experience and will definitely be back!
