Highlights

Tarangire National Park - Tarangire National Park 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. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.

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.

Fantastic safari, I highly recommend it - We went on a 3-day safari for the first time and we couldn't be happier for having chosen this company, the service was excellent, our guide Ezekiel was simply fantastic, very attentive and friendly, he made our trip even more special, he always tried his best To give us an incredible experience, we were able to see the animals up close thanks to Ezekiel. The only less positive point is really the lunches we take with us on safari, the hotels prepare a lunch box, but the food is not very pleasant, it was important to improve this point, it is only this less positive point that is a suggestion. When we return to Tanzania we will definitely choose this company again and recommend it to our friends. They are amazing and very professional. Thank you for these 3 magical days

Amazing safari experience - This safari experience was incredible. We saw 4 of the “big 5” (just not the elusive leopard) and so many other amazing animals in their natural habitat. Our guide/driver, George, was THE BEST and not only found all these animals, but made sure we had the best possible views. He never rushed us and always allowed us whatever time we wanted to watch the animals. The accommodations and food was also good. I highly recommend this company - and George as the guide.

The amazing safari with passionate safari guide,Ezekiel Masai. - This was my first trip to Africa especially an wildlife safari. I have chosen Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for my safari partenr because Justin, the tour director, was so kind and answered whatever I asked, quickly. And also the price was the most reasonable among safari tour companies(my own opinion). I did the safari with Ezekiel Masai, a driving guide, who was always taking care of us. He continuosly aksed me that if there is something I need or not and something unconvinient. But the most important thing related to Tanzani Safari is the ability to find wild animals, of course. Just in the first two days, I have seen all the Big5s. Also, during the safari, it was really easy to find animals(leo, lion, hippo, cheetah, monkey, giraffe, zebra, wilderbeast, elephant etc.) with him. I hope to be there again and go out for safari with him. I really miss that time.

Magical safari experience! - Our safari was pure magic! Impeccable organization set the stage by Paul, and our driver, George, was a seasoned legend. His positive vibe, expert driving, and a superhero moment when one of us fell sick made the trip unforgettable. The animal sightings? Absolutely mind-blowing. This safari was a wild ride of perfection! Highly recommend George, we‘ll definitley book again!😍
