Top notch organisation
I contacted Zephania in April and got a quick reply the next day. The itinerary was very detailed, we loved the choice of accommodation so we decided to travel with Tanzania Roadside expeditions.
In the next few months before our actual travel, Zephania got in touch regularly to give me some much needed nudges to get things going on my side.
Three weeks before our actual travel date, we were sent some much needed guidance on what to pack and a do/don’t list.
Communication was smooth, responsive which was big plus for us as first time travellers to Africa.
Regarding the trip itself, the experience was breathtaking. One of the reasons why we travelled with an agency was to have some sort of chaperone during our trip and the guides who accompanied us during our stay in Kenya (Peter) and Tanzania (Ezekiel Masai) were great. They were both very kind, patient, gave us plenty of explanations on various topics. They were also great with our young children. They went great lengths to allow us to see as many animals as possible and make our stay in the parks memorable. We had a wonderful time with them. The hotels chosen were perfect in terms of localisation and comfort.
Thanks to the team at Tanzania Roadside we had a great time in Africa. It was worth every penny for the amazing service we received from the first contact to the airport drop off (and even after!).
I would 100% recommend to travel with them and hope that we’ll have the opportunity to work with them again in the future.

Highly Recommend Family Trip of a Lifetime Great Service/Value/ Knowledge
We worked with Ute Sonnenberg as our contact and she is amazing! Very knowledgeable about the different locations/parks/conservancies.
We traveled as a family group of 10 and everyone loved everything we did. Ute was great replying to all of our questions and she was very fast getting back to us
Once we arrived in Kenya her people on the ground were very efficient and coordinated.
We Checked out several tour operators and Ute/Roho provided better value for an identical itinerary.
Two of us continued to Zanzibar and we were equally pleased with our accommodations, tours and how she helped structure our time.

Knowlegeble, Reliable Considerate
Our"Family of 10 "Trip to South Africa was one of the most enjoyable vacations. Stanley selected and booked accommodationa and tours that fitted our budget and exceeded our expectations. Everything went smoothly and we were afforded good reliable service with attention to detail. The choice of Amakhala Tent Camp was a good one for us. The accommodations, service and hospitality was excellent. The drives through the Reserve were a life time experience. Rob,the Guide, was very knowledgable about the animals as well as vegetation. He was excellent in approaching the animals without affecting their natural life and yet got us excellent proximity and views of lions, rhinos, elephant, cheetahs, etc.
Stanley fulfilled our dreams and his knowledge of South Africa, his attention to detail, his understanding of our needs was much appreciated.

Amazing: They chose the best for and gave us an amazing experience at the Kidepo Valley Tour.
The Trip was organized by Dagiz Travel to the Kidepo Valley National Park.
Dagiz travel organized the entire trip to include transportation, meals and accommodation.
Dagiz travel transport was spectacular; the car was confortable with a fully installed power supply system to charge phones, laptops and any kind of portable electronic devise. The car itself had an open roof which allowed for a grandeur view of the Kidepo Valley National Park with all its creatures and features in a safe and confortable space.
The Driver and the Dagiz travel crew were hospitable offering drinks and meals during the travel (which were part of the paid for package).
The travel to Kidepo Valley was quite long, but the hospitable crew made the journey interesting and bearable.
For our accommodation, Dagiz travel booked us into Katurum Lodge in the Kidepo valley National Park.
The accommodation was marvelous as it had a magnificent view of the Kidepo Valley National Park; not to mention the Sun Rises, the Sun Sets and the Clear Skies of the Kidepo Valley which only added to the splendor of our stay.
The Katurum Lodge is a refurbished hotel, with a rich heritage having been constructed on and from the Katurum Rock...
In the wee hours of the night, you can hear the Lions Roar from Katurum Lodge; and wake up to birds singing and Monkeys to disrupt your stay :) ...
I loved the accommodation Dagiz Travel chose for us. It was a beautiful Lodge; with very good customer care; not to mention the camp fire which crowed our stay at the Lodge. Oh did I mention - the moon to escorted us throughout our campfire - there was that too...
Dagiz travel Kept time and ensured we maximized our visit in the Northern part of Uganda by ensuring we visited the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary; which was along the route to the Kidepo Valley National Park and had the chance to visit a Karamojong community and got to experience the Karamojong culture. Because there was so much to experience, we were far to spent on time, and didn't get to visit Fort Patiko in Gulu which was part of our itinerary :(.
I really loved this trip and cannot quantify the monetary but only say - thank you Dagiz travel for organizing this trip.
I am looking forward to the next trip you will organize... My first trip with you was a bang, and I hope and believe the next ones will continue to blow me away.

Completely organized; knowledgeable guide and animals, animals, animals!
This was a long-delayed adventure from the 2020 COVID days. Over those years, Christine and the staff of WS kept things together and continued to reassure us that our dream would eventually be realized. We had planned the Kruger 5-day Panorama Tour and through the years that continued as our sole focus.
In 2023, the bush camps and resorts perhaps changed a bit but the essence of the trip remained intact. Our guide picked us up as scheduled in our Joberg hotel and immediately immersed us in his knowledge of everything we were seeing along the way to the Sabia River Bush Lodge immediately adjacent to Kruger Park. As a matter of fact the Kruger fence line runs along the back of the property so there can be any number of changing collections of wildlife on the other side of the fence. How delightful it was to spend late afternoons and early mornings with the Hippos currently in residence - 3 adults and 3 children!
Our other two Bush Camp/Resort experiences differed but were equally enjoyable. Throughout, our guide gave us insights and willing/knowledgeable responses to our many uninformed questions. We had no idea that the Park is teeming with wildlife of all sorts or how varied the geology and vegetation is. The only constant in a Kruger multi-day visit is the changing panoramas and wildlife combinations.
In the end we saw thousands of animals and must admit that the highlight was the sunset drive from the Satara Rest Camp. We spotted a pride of 8 lionesses directly beside the road and 5 males in various stages of sleep/rest along the way. And we surprised a young elephant in a family at rest beside the road which immediately put the senior female into an aggressive state along with a very audible warning to bug off! Exciting and humbling!
We'll never forget these and other memories of our time with our guide and Wildlife Safaris in Eastern South Africa!
