Immaculate and attentive arrangements
Enquired about an off the shelf tour and ended up with a custom made trip and couldn't be happier about it. Claire was very attentive and helpful in suggesting the itinerary and activities to match my interest, especially being a sole traveller, and was very quick in correspondence. The trip was planned perfectly from the itinerary, to the schedule and the execution. I can highly recommend Lark Journeys for a straight forward yet tailored experience of Namibia.

Unforgettable safari, thanks to our amazing driver, Omar, every moment was a blast.
The safari with Gamedrive Travel Africa was a captivating adventure through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Accommodations were comfortable, and Omar, our driver, ensured a seamless experience. His expertise led us to witness the majestic big five, cheetahs, lions, rhinos, and leopards—making it an unparalleled wildlife spectacle. Every moment felt like a unique encounter with nature.

Reliable and swift response
My travel was organised in a timely manner and Josephine shared all the details with me promptly. Thanks to her, I got upgraded to an executive suite (yeey) and truly enjoyed my stay. I received an excellent service at an affordable price and would highly recommend her to book your next travel.

AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE.
For a long time we were planning to go on a Safari. Especially since our father’s had a great love for animal’s and nature.
It was a dream for us to go on a Safari and since our father’s are no longer alive, we wanted our memory of them to continue while on this Safari.
It was a privilege to book this Safari with TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS.
The owner Paul Justine was committed to us from the very beginning to the very end of the Safari.
He was always available to us when we needed questions to be answered even before the Safari started.
That is simply just dedication on his part to his clients.
The hotel’s that he booked for us during our Safari each day were amazing and it included all our meals and refreshments when we were on the road.
We were picked up at the airport and were taken for our first night at the Gran Melia Arusha. After Paul helped to check us in, we had a meeting on the details of our Safari for the next 4 days.
The next morning we got to meet our tour guide Ezekiel Elias.
First impression of Ezekiel is that he was on time and very enthusiastic. You could tell he was excited about his job and sharing his knowledge with people.
Our first destination was to the Tarangire National Park which is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. The park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
We spent our second night at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge where Ezekiel assisted us to check-in.
On our third day we headed to the
Serengeti National Park. We understand that this Park is the world’s last largest great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals. Furthermore, the area covers 14,763 square feet and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai 'Siringet', meaning endless plains. Amazing!!
We had an opportunity to meet one of the tribes called the Masai Tribe. They were very welcoming and explained to us about their daily lives.
After Ezekiel checked us in at the Serengeti Melia Lodge for our third night.
We spent half a day in Serengeti and later the next morning we went to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.
This crater is called the eighth natural wonder of the world and is the largest intact crater in the world. For our last night Ezekiel drove us to the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge to check-in.
The next day we descend into the crater for a tour. Before heading to the Kilimanjaro International airport for our flight to Dar-es-Salaam.
Ezekiel took the initiative and stopped off and took a small video of Mount Kilimanjaro since my husband climbed up 18,000 feet when he was in the Boy Scouts. Ezekiel knew how much this meant. We were shortly now going to say bye to a close friend who we came to know over the past few days from the Safari.
The Safari that was booked for us was an amazing experience and completed with great detail.
The memories we experienced will always be cherished for the rest of our lives.
We highly recommend booking your Safari with TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS. Furthermore, it was Paul Justine and Ezekiel Elias that made one of our dreams come true.
We thank you Paul and Ezekiel.

Fantastic!
Tailored 5 day tour of just gorillas and chimp trekking. It did not disappoint. Jennifer was brilliant from the 1st point of contact. Abdul my driver was also great, very knowledgable and an excellent driver, given some of the roads and tracks here.
Gorilla trekking was more than I expected and it was just magical but be warned, it is not for the faint hearted and a degree of physical fitness is needed but spending an hour with them brought me to tears. I chose the mid range accommodation and it was great. The staff were polite and friendly and even helped me out of my boots and gators after trekking. The food was delicious and if there was something I didn’t like they offered something else.
Then it was on to Kibale for the chimp trekking via a drive through the Queen Elizabeth national park where I got to see plenty of African Elephants! Whilst chimpanzee trekking we were we were treated to a thunderstorm in the rain forest! Coming from the UK I am used to rain but boy, this was another level so be sure to pack decent waterproofs and of course decent walking boots. (I don’t know how people managed in just trainers) Such an amazing adventure and to see chimps swinging from the tress was such fun. Their communication skills are very loud indeed! The accommodation at Kibale forest camp was a permanent tent structure set in beautiful surroundings with monkeys jumping through the trees. This causes branches to fall on to the top of the hard roof above the tent but very loud and caught me by surprise at first. Think glamping….. lights, comfy bed, shower and a proper toilet that flushes! The food was tasty and you can even request a wake up call with coffee brought to your tent to ease you gently into your day.
Beware that visa isn’t widely accepted in Uganda so you will need a mix of Ugandan shillings and US dollars for your trip. Overall 10/10 for Peak cruise safaris. Jennifer has an amazing team, excellent communication and every request catered for. Highly recommended.

Great service
I recently undertook 3 trips in Kenya with Kiboko Kenya Safaris and was very impressed with their service. The pickup service was always on time. The staff very professional. Most impressive was Clare's "instant" response to your mails and wishes. I have been travelling around Kenya for years and have never encountered such a service before. Keep up the good work.

All good, but evening safari was a scam
The tour itself is very good. Hoppy (our guide) was very experienced and could spot animals really well. He also geve us a lot of information about the animals and respond every single question we asked. Accomodations and food were also good.
The really bad part of this tour is the evening safari. The guide was very unexperienced and just cared about driving, keeping his eyes on the road all the time, and talking a lot and veeeery slow. The few animals we saw were spotted by the tourists, not the guide. In addition, the torches were supposed to be operated by the tourists, but we had no instructions about it.
Definitely the worst safari I have ever had in Africa. WildSafaris sould change the operator for this safari, as it is very unprofesional that they put unexperienced and non-motivated guides.

Once in a lifetime great experience!!!
I recently experienced the most incredible African Safari tour in Tanzania. The professional staff made the journey unforgettable, ensuring comfort with clean vehicles. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and Elizabeth's attentive support made us feel safe and well-informed. Highly recommend for an amazing adventure!
