Trip of a lifetime - 10 Day Safari to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater
Absolutely incredible, unforgettable experience. We knew we wanted to go on a safari somewhere in Africa, and I spent weeks researching which country and which company to go with before deciding on Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. No other company came close to the communication, flexibility, accommodations, and professionalism of Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. We had a private tour of Tarangire, central Serengeti, northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and stayed at some unique, beautiful, luxury lodges.
Our process began by talking with Paul, the managing director. He was prompt in responding to my many questions and offering recommendations for our trip, from the overall safari route to what we should bring with us. He even communicated my dietary restrictions to all of the lodges prior to our arrival. We were pleasantly surprised that Paul even met us at our first hotel (Melia Arusha) to talk about the safari and introduce us to our guide, James.
James was the reason that our trip was so extraordinary. With 15 years of experience, he's incredibly well-connected with the other rangers in the park and has an amazing understanding of animal behavior. This meant that he was always able to anticipate where the animals would be going so we'd get the best view, even when there were other vehicle groups around. We got to see not only one lion hunt, but THREE. We had front row seats to see the wildebeest cross the Mara River (twice!) in their Great Migration, we could have reached out the window to pet lions and cheetahs we were so close, we saw dozens of giraffes, elephants, zebra, hippos, gazelles, crocodiles, so many amazing birds, mother lions with their cubs, cheetahs with their cubs, baby jackals, baby gazelles, and so many more. James was also very respectful to the animals, not getting too close to them with the vehicle, but instead letting them come closer to us, which we really appreciated.
James truly cared about what we enjoyed, and was not only patient but also excited to answer our many, many questions. By anticipating where the animals would be, he positioned us so I could get the best photographs (something he knew I was excited about). James also had a lot of flexibility with each day's itinerary. Most days we wound up wanting to explore more and more but some days we wanted to rest a little early and he would always respond with "hakuna matata- no worries." He kept us comfortable and anticipated our needs, whether that be with plenty of cold water, bathroom breaks, and lunches. Not only did we have the adventure of a lifetime, but we also had plenty of time to relax and truly enjoy the experience.
Thank you, Paul, James, and Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, for making this the most incredible trip we've ever gone on. We can't wait to come back!

Rose Hipwood ,is the tour operator Everyone should use for their safari trip of a lifetime!!
I have always dreamed about going on safari, my husband not so much , but once he saw everything that Rose was planing for my trip he couldn't resist! Actually a trip that started out as my bucket list trip ended up being the best family trip my husband and our three grown daughters have ever taken . Rose was recommended to us by a friend . I found The Luxury Safari Co. to be excellent. Every detail was taken care of for our 14 day trip. WE started planning a year in advance and the entire process was enjoyable . Rose made suggestions of where we should visit and then presented us with several camps she liked. Once we chose the camps we wanted to visit she took care of everything ; we were told how and when to apply for visas, suggestions on what to pack, tipping guides, all inter air transfers were taken care of and there was always someone to meet us and guide us to our next destination. Half way through the trip I texted with Rose that I wanted to extend the stay at one of the camps and she took care of everything within 24 hrs. I have had the privilege of traveling a great deal during my life and I can honestly say I have never dealt with a tour operator who was as; accessible ,patient, knowledgeable of her specialty ,and kind as Rose. I am a traveler who is very detailed oriented and I Highly recommend anyone considering a safari vacation to use The Luxury Safari Company!

Our tour was very professionally organized and was a tremendous delight.
My wife Pat and I were with Steppe Dog Adventures for a 15 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Our guides Milton (in Kenya) and Horton (in Tanzania) were delightful people that saw to it that our experience was top-notch. Accommodations were excellent, food was good, and all our questions were professionally answered. We saw every African animal that we had hoped to see, and most of them several times. It was nothing less than SPECTACULAR. We highly recommend Steppe Dog Adventures as an African guide company.
