Perfect! - From the first contact with Zephania at Roadside Tanzania, to meeting our driver, Laurian, and all the places we stayed, ate, and visited! Excellent! Thank you. Not one thing went wrong!

My favorite vacation - The best vacation ever! If I ever did a safari again, I would go with this company. Thy let my friend and I customize our experience to add in a hot air balloon ride and to stay in a luxury hotel. I liked that we stayed with the same tour guide the whole time. And I liked that we had our own private 4x4. We saw almost every animal on the first day. And on the third day we saw a rhino and many hippos. We took so many pictures. All of the food was really good. I really enjoyed the picnics in the park. I am vegetarian and there were even good options for me. The food at the hotel was delicious, especially the pea soup. And finally, our tour guide Gadiel, was so nice and polite! He knew so much about the parks and the animals and was a great and safe driver. He had a guide book to tell us even more about the animals and had a great eye for spotting animals far away. He was an excellent tour guide! He is very easy to have a conversation with and knows a lot about the Maasai culture. He always made sure we had all of our stuff and would drive really slow if we saw a cool animal (so that we could take pictures of it). He picked us up from the airport and was on time to pick us up everyday from the hotel. He dropped us off at the airport as well and even helped to bring our suitcases to the airline desk. He even bought us red bananas to try from a roadside market. Super awesome tour guide, I hope he continues to do well with the company!

Most memorable. - We did a tour similar to this one presented and supervised by Roadside Tanzania. We didn’t go to the lake as listed on this itinerary, but rather to the Serengeti and Paul reserved us a perfect room at the Four Seasons Serrengetti. That was the most memorable. And at the Tarangarie National Park we did the Namali Tent Camp which had a memorable restaurant. Should be in the Michelin Guide. And we did the Crater rim hotel. Ezekiel was our driver and he was much more that expected. Back to back days he drove us 11 and 10 hours on game drives. All in all, Paul can be reached at info@roadsidetanzania and he can custom make a tour at any budget. We did and were very pleased.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with George from Roadside Tanzania - We had an incredible experience with George from Roadside Tanzania as our guide during our safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks. George’s expertise and passion for the wildlife made our trip unforgettable. From the start, George demonstrated an impressive ability to locate animals, ensuring that we saw a diverse range of wildlife up close. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was remarkable, and he eagerly shared fascinating facts and stories that enhanced our appreciation of the wilderness. George’s keen eye and intuition allowed us to witness some truly spectacular moments. Whether it was spotting elusive predators or observing herds of elephants, he always seemed to know where to look and how to get the best views. Beyond his guiding skills, George was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of our safari. His dedication to ensuring we had a memorable experience was evident in every aspect of the trip. If you’re looking for an exceptional safari experience, I highly recommend George and Roadside Tanzania. Our time in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was enriched by his expertise, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, George, for making our safari a truly unforgettable adventure!

Highly recommended - I had a lot of trouble choosing a tour company for my Tanzania safari tour. I contacted several companies through the safari booking site, and after carefully reviewing the responses I received, I chose ‘Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.’ The itinerary we received from another safari company was the 4 nights and 5 days itinerary we initially wanted, but one day of the 4 nights and 5 days was spent preparing for the safari in Arusha. We were offered a 3-night, 5-day itinerary by Zephania as part of Serena Lodge's May promotion, and we accepted. In the end, we liked this itinerary. Although I was a little tired because I started the safari tour on the morning of the first day I arrived, I think it was a good schedule. What I really liked about chatting with Zephania about the tour was how quick his ‘Whatapps’ responses were. I was a little anxious about sending the reservation deposit before arrival (despite the good reviews on ‘Trip Advisor’), but I was able to put my mind at ease thanks to his quick response. I also liked that they let you meet and pay the balance. I also really liked that it reflected what I wanted in accordance with the promotion. As soon as we arrived at the airport, we met our guide, Ezekiel. Ezekiel Masai was very punctual from the time we met at the airport until the end, and explained the next schedule in detail. In that respect, he was a trustworthy guide. While visiting Tarengire, Serengeti, and Ungorungoro Crater with Ezekiel, we were able to meet so many animals. I saw over 30 lions. Big5 was also searched until the end, so I was able to see all of Big5. The explanations about animals and plants were interesting, and he answered our questions diligently. It was really nice that my questions were answered right away. I really liked the professionalism and understanding of the Safari ecosystem. Ezekiel was always concerned about our safety and well-being. Ezekiel helped us all the way to make our safari a success. I hope that ‘Tanzania Roadside Expeditions’, a local tour company in Arusha, will prosper even more and I recommend ‘Tanzania Roadside Expeditions’ to everyone.

Unforgettable Kenya and Tanzania safari - I have join the 11 days Kenya and Tanzania safari. My tour guides, George, Jonathan and Philip are amazing. Luckily, I’ve seen the stunning Mara River Crossing and all the animals that I am desire to see. The accommodations are all awesome and clean, nevertheless, the Wi-Fi in some hotels are not good enough. In some days, the game drive was end a bit early and there is not too many activities in hotels, we can only stay in the lounges, the Itineraries can be better if it can last until 18:00. By the way, you can discuss with the tour guides separately. Unforgettable trip in life!
