A Dream Come True! - Going on a safari in Tanzania had always been a dream for me — and Tanzania Road Side Expedition made it unforgettable! Yes, it was a big financial effort for me 💸, but 100% worth it. I was lucky to have Ezequiel Masai as my guide. The best one you could ask for: super knowledgeable, kind, and always ready to explain everything in detail. He made me feel safe and cared for the whole time. Driving a 4x4 through the mud? Not easy! But he handled it like a pro 🚙💨 And he always waited patiently while I took all the photos I wanted 📸 I really hope to come back one day to visit the Serengeti, and I would love for Ezequiel to guide me again. Thank you for making this dream a reality!

The most unforgettable trip of my life - My soul has not yet returned from Kenya and Tanzania. I had a very happy time and I still remember everything. Thank you for the TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS LTD. In particular, the guides Walter and Gadiel were the best. They guided us to safety and we could see all of the BIG5 at their speed. I can't forget their kindness and explanations. Thank you so much!! If you are planning to travel to Africa, I recommend TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS LTD.

We couldn't have made a better choice. - We went on our honeymoon, recommended by friends who had also been there, and it was simply fantastic. A welcoming country full of natural beauty, Tanzania simply gave new meaning to our lives, a place that everyone should have the pleasure of visiting. The highlight of the trip was our guide Walter, who was impeccable in every detail. Full of experience, skilled in driving and very friendly, we became friends! He knew exactly where to go to find each animal and see them from the best angle. Extremely punctual, intelligent and with a vast knowledge, not only about wildlife. We are also happy that in addition to the great experience, we were able to value a local business, since the company is 100 percent run by Tanzanians. We are leaving, but with fond memories and certain that we had the best honeymoon possible. Thanks to Walter and everyone at Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Amazing 5 day safari - This was the second time I have used Tanzania Roadside. There are so many options but they did a great job the first time I went back to them again. Especially as their price was slightly better than a couple of others I asked. The majority of the cost for a safari is actually the park entrance fees and the additional concession fees for staying overnight in the parks. Unfortunately the drivers and staff in these places don't get paid great while the government takes all the money. If you book your own accomodation make sure they include the concession fees as the hotels will not. If you are considering Lake Manyara then don't bother. The Lake has effectively died with very little bird life compared to the thousands of Flamingos and other birds that called this place home a few years ago. Our driver this time was Walter. I can't imagine there could be a better guide. His english is perfect and his knowledge, not only of the animals and geography of Tanzania, but of the rest of the world put us to shame. His humour was great and we spent the whole time laughing and joking with him. One day he found seven different cat sightings as we drove out of the Serengeti on the way to Ndutu. In total we saw 25 Lions, 10 Cheetahs and a Leopard over the 5 days. Far better than my last safari. He was also very respectful of the rules and of the animals unlike some of the other tour companies that have been clearly instructed to try and get the best view no matter what. This is at the cost of other tourists and also of the animals, who shouldn't have to deal with jeeps surrounding them in a threatening manner that Walter refused to do. Thankyou for an amazing experience.

Incredible 7-Day Safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions - Our 7-day safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was nothing short of amazing! From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our trip, everything was handled with professionalism and care. Our itinerary was expertly coordinated by Zephania Abduel, who was absolutely wonderful. He promptly responded to our emails, answered all our questions, and ensured that every detail of our trip was taken care of. We encountered a minor issue at one of our hotels, and Zephania quickly and efficiently resolved it to our complete satisfaction. Our guide, Ezekiel Masai, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and his keen eye for spotting animals made our experience unforgettable. He knew exactly where to look and ensured we got up close to the animals while respecting their space. Ezekiel took the time to explain the behaviors and lifestyles of each animal, making our safari both educational and thrilling. He was also incredibly patient, allowing us ample time to take photos and truly soak in the beauty of our surroundings. Navigating the parks can be quite bumpy, but Ezekiel’s careful driving ensured that we remained as comfortable as possible throughout our journey. I cannot say enough good things about Tanzania Roadside Expeditions! Their top-notch service, knowledgeable staff, and commitment to customer satisfaction made this an experience of a lifetime. If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend this company—you won't be disappointed!
