I loved the animal viewing on the safari!
We booked two different safaris in June 2024 with Ranger Buck Safari team. The first safari was the Buffalo Camp in Kampama game reserve. The staff was wonderful and the glamping tents where nice. The game drives started on time and the ranger was knowledgeable and worked hard to find all the animals each day. I would definitely return to Kampama!
The second safari was Shamwari private game reserve. The glamping tents were fantastic but the staff was getting the lodge ready for winter shut down and we felt it was rushed and not time well spent at this lodge. The ranger was driving so fast at times, we could not spot anything in the bush.

Rustic, original and stunning
Despite the dust showers and africa massage, we love the six day safari. The world owes Tanzania to keep the oasis pristine and vibrant. To see the animals in their original habitat is completely different from seeing them in the zoo.

Kenya has incredible wildlife, very nice people and a good climate
We went on a 5-days safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. We got to sees all the "Big 5" and lots of other animals. Incredible to sit on the terrace by the lodge outside Masai Mara, and watch a hippo in the water. The temperature was nice, not too hot, and quite chilly in the evening and morning, so bring a jacket. We really loved the walking safari on Crescent Island, it was nice with a boat trip and lovely to walk among all the animals. Nice to meet and learn about the Masai people, impressive to sees their traditional lifestyle and cultural expressions.
We loved the safari with Spirit of Kenya!

Excellent tour operator did a great job w/ short notice, tight budget & specific dates.
I very highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD, Zephania Abduel and our knowledgeable and lovely safari guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania for making our bucket-list African holiday a dream come true. This trip was amazing despite our relatively tight budget, only 2 months advance planning with specific dates of travel, lodging needs for a room with 3 adult beds, and hopes for 50/50 safari and resort style vacation which required flights as well.
We actually asked for quotes from a handful of other companies, most of which were either slow to respond, had high quotes out of our range, or said they could not help us due to the short time frame. Tanzania Roadside Expeditions replied immediately and said they could help us. Zephania met with us via Zoom so he could clearly understand our specific needs. (I think he works 24/7 because he was always responsive within a few hours.) He planned the itinerary and booked a vacation package that was perfect for us.
Zephania took care of our ride from the airport to the hotel and included our requested ‘jetlag’ day before we started our safari. We saw 3 different safari parks with different lodging types between Kenya and Tanzania which were all amazingly unique and wonderful. Everyone was so friendly, and we felt very safe. Our guides, Jimmy in Kenya and Ezekiel Maasai in Tanzania, were so helpful and shared their vast knowledge with us inside the parks regarding the animals (got us so close to the animals) and outside of the parks in regard to teaching us about the people and their different cultures.
Zephania’s associate met us in Zanzibar to for our final part of our vacation. We had a tour and snorkeling and plenty of pampering and scuba diving for several days, all of which was perfect.
I cannot more highly recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions LTD with Zephania Abduel and guides Jimmy in Kenya and Ezikiel Maasai in Tanzania. They provided excellent service.

The tour operator was very knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire Safari tour.
Murchison Falls National Park was an amazing experience in Uganda. The never-ending , most powerful waterfalls in the world was a sight to see. The awe-inspiring animals seen was like watching a movie. The olive baboons lined along the drive into the park, the elephants in their natural habitat, the giraffe walking to their young just to name a few of the animals seen along the drive.
In addition, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was jaw dropping. It was a beautiful encounter to see the baby rhinoceros (calf) being protected by the adult rhino while eating. The Likana Safari created a memorable experience that I will do again and invite my friends to experience with me.

The Best Experience of My Life!!
BOOK THROUGH THIS COMPANY!! Maurice and David are amazing — they made us feel safe, welcome and took care of every detail. They’re also extremely knowledgable, and taught us so much about Kenyan life.
From game drives, to hot air balloon rides, to city tours, not one detail was overlooked. Any time I visit Africa from now on, I’m booking with Maurice and his team. 😊 Asante sana, Maurice!! ❤️🇰🇪

Magic Safari
I contacted Mr. Ali directly from Italy and he helped me choose the most suitable safari for us.
We had already been to Tanzania 35 years ago and now we wanted a safari aimed at seeing the "Great Migration" of wildebeests and zebras in the Serengeti Park.
We also wanted to visit a group of Hatzabe, the bushmen who live in Tanzania, the last hunter/gatherers.
Excellent value for money.
Everything was perfect: our guide/driver Leonard, the cook Emmanuel, the choice of Camp Sites, the food (excellent, varied and plentiful), the kindness, helpfulness and professionalism of everyone.
Wonderful safari: in addition to the hundreds of wildebeest and zebras of the Great Migration that we saw in the area near the Lobo Lodge in the Northern Serengeti, we saw, thanks to Leonard's lynx eye, many cats even very close up.
The experience with the Hatzabe is also to be recommended: you spend half a day with one of their families and share their way of life by following their daily activities and going hunting with them.
It is not a show for tourists: the Hatzabe still live like this in the bush, hunting and gathering what nature offers.
Thanks Ali, thanks Leonard and Emmanuel.
Highly recommended

Great guide, chef and an unforgettable experience.
Had an amazing experience with Emmy Safaris. They did everything to make our safari perfect and they succeeded. The chef cooked amazing food every day, and the guide was so good and we are really happy that we saw the big 5 thanks to him. Highly recommend!
