It was wonderful tour. I was satisfied 1000% with my parents.
All the scenery was absolutely beautiful, the logdes were perfect with decent services. Our tour guide, Jovin, was excellent, skilled guide. We loved him very much. I recommend here 1000% as much as we enjoyed there. Thank you!

Tanzania is a great destination for safari and other activities. We first went on safari and then took the ferry to Zanzibar. Both destinations were great and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The only thing that could have made it better is if we would have spotted lions on our safari but sadly none were seen. But that is just nature and not Tanzanias nor our guides fault so overall an unreal experience. Highly recommend!

We went to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park. I expected to see some animals but we saw SO much more than I was anticipating! The weather was beautiful and the scenery getting from one place to another was spectacular.

Amazing Experience with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions

We went on a six-day honeymoon safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. It could not have been better. We hard that it might be hard to find wildlife in January, but we were constantly surrounded by elephant, giraffes, zebras, and more. We also got within 20 feet of several lions and witnessed an incredible leopard in a tree. We got amazing photos of all of our favorite animals...plus videos of hippos fighting out in the water. It was more exciting than we had ever imagined. Most of the credit goes to our guide, Justin from Tanzania Roadside Expeditions. He was informative and also just a nice, fun guy to get to know. We can't recommend Justin highly enough. It wasn't just his engaging personality but also his friendly relations with other guides who fed him information in real-time on where animals had been spotted. He was an incredible driver, and he also just knew when it was right not to talk or chat and to just bask in the scenery and the animals. The vehicle from Tanzania

Roadside Expeditions was also luxurious yet rugged. I loved standing up as we sped across the Serengeti. The hotels were also perfect...just what we needed after an active day bouncing along the roads and taking in all of the sights and sounds. Thank you to Justin and everyone at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

We had a fantastic time; four of us during a 7 day Tanzanian safari and 3 days at a resort in Zanzibar. The entire experience exceeded our expectations from the wildlife we saw, the hospitality and safety at the lodgings, and our tour guide/driver Azaria Mwanga. He greatly appreciated our enthusiasm for the wildlife, sharing a wealth of knowledge of their habits, migration patterns and was willing to wait sometimes 1+ plus for us to observe an animal's behavior or stalk its prey. Azaria also gave us a lot of perspective and insight into Tanzanian history and the Masai people.
It's hard to pick out our favorite moment, but it was probably seeing a lioness and her three cubs drinking at a watering hole. But overall we were really impressed with all the wildlife sightings we saw across all three parks. The Ngorongoro crater was particularly breathtaking.
As for the camps, they were all very comfortable and we felt very well taken care of in terms of

the facilities and the food (breakfast, lunch and dinners). It was super easy to get from Central Serengeti to Zanzibar, and we enjoyed our stay at Dreams by Mantis resort. Lastly, José from Soul of Tanzania's for all the coordination and planning during the busy holiday season. It felt like a true vacation with all the logistics taken care of.

If you're a single woman / man and doubting whether Tanzania is safe for you, I can assure you from my own great experience that Tanzania is much safer and cleaner than many Western countries. Its people are very friendly, open and happy, even if they earn in average less than 180 $ per month. Their communication skills are very good - almost everybody knows basic English. Workers in tourism (sector that has still a lot of potential) are fluent in English and very knowledgeable. In addition to beauty of the land, food is tasty, their mangoes are unbeatable.
I did 5-day safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Creater, Tarangire and Manyara Lake) and 7-days Lemosho Route to Kilimanjaro (my regards goes to Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures company). Safari offers abondance of Flora and Fauna, while Mt. Kili is adventure per se. Recommended!

I visited Tanzania in December 2023 and did a 9 day safari over the Christmas and New Year period. I booked through Doreen Paradise and Wilderness, who were excellent. I was taken on a circuit of the national parks in the north of the country, and had some great wildlife viewing as well as some cultural encounters with the Maasi people.
The only real downside is that a lot of the roads are not metalized and can be rough and corrugated. So driving what can be long distances could be difficult for those with a bad back or similar condition.
Another piece of advice I would offer is always to go with a reputable travel company unless you are very confident of making your own arrangements. The bush in Tanzania is very different from European or North American city life and one could feel very lost without a ready made support network.
But I had a great time and would recommend it highly.

Tanzania is a breathtaking beautiful country. The nature there is incomparable and varies from woods, rain forests to grass land. There are so many animals to See in the parks and all the parks were very well looked after. We stayed in Arusha.
Arusha is a very international city and we had a great tour guide from African Chitah- a travel organization I can highly recommend.

We did a 3-day tour in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. It was amazing to see those very different parks and all the wildlife there. Out of the big 5 we saw 4 (unfortunately no leopards). Out of the 3 parks Ngorongoro was our highlight. Because we were travelling during the rain season there was a lot of water everywhere (Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro). Because of that we could not see some of the animals well. On the other hand the landscape was so incredibly green. I would definitely come back during wet season.
Our tour operator (Tanzania Go Adventures) was amazing, as well as our tour guide Amos! The company is a local one (compared with many of the big ones owned by westeners). Our experience was very pleasent. Definitely come back another time and highly recommend it.
