A true expert on Tanzania, both for safaris and everything else that comes with it.
5/5

We went on a 9-night safari, aiming to see not only the Big Five but also the authentic Tanzania. After having excellent phone communication with Miranda and sharing all our interests, everything was set in motion. We were completely taken care of and only had to indicate what we would like to see.

From there, we fully enjoyed everything Tanzania had to offer during our 9-night trip. Roko himself, with his eagle eyes, managed to spot all the animals from a great distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are extremely pleased with the facilities, the stress-free experience, the value for money, and everything else that came with it.

All my wishes were fulfilled and a bit more :)
5/5

I was a solo female traveller looking for a safe but private safari in Tanzania. Did quite a lot of research and figured out what I want to see - I prefer to experience the real life of local people and I love nature. So, I tend to choose places that are not entirely touristic and Lake Natron seemed to be a good choice for me.

I found Roko Safaris from official Tanzania Safaris web-page filtering for solo traveller options and sorting results by "the cheapest first". Checking their web-page I was sure that this is my best option and I couldn't be more right! The communication was fast, clear and smooth - I told what I want to see and do during my 6 days in Tanzania and it was all arranged for very reasonable price. I was assured that Roko - the safari quide - will be picking me up from the airport (my flight arrived 2.40 am) and take care of everything until back in the airport for leaving to Zanzibar.

As the trip to Lake Natron takes about 6 hours I decided not to stay in Arusha but to head to lake Natron right from the airport. It was a very good decision as it was cooler to drive in the night and around 6am we were out of the main road enjoying the stunning sunrise. Roko got me snacks and drinks without me asking for them and I really loved the ride thru the villages and wilderness with seeing lots of animals already.

For my first three days and two night I stayed in their lovely guesthouse on the hillside near Lake Natron with beautiful views and lush garden with several little pools with the water from natural waterfall. My room was modest (not for quests expecting 4-5* luxury), but clean and all I needed including fan to make sleeping in the heat a bit easier for a person from north :). During my three days we were out at the most beautiful waterfall, safari at small Serengeti with lots of animals and indeed thousands of flamingos, hot-springs and local Masai villages. Mostly I was the only explorer on the spot and I was feeling like in the movie being able to stand up in the safari car while we were driving. Not to mention that I was feeling very safe and well taken care of by Roko. I really felt like being out there with my best friend learning from each other about so different cultures we come from.

On the second half of my trip we visited Tarangire National park and believe me, the best part of it was "getting lost". It means that the park is having spots with lots of safari cars (and dust), but then you can drive out of the main roads and find yourself in the lush hillsides with stunning views and some animals and no other cars on sight. Last days we spent in Arusha visiting great Art Gallery, Lake Duluti and some other places. You can already guess that I had chosen not to stay in the city center hotel but in a beautiful little lodge up on the hillside with amazing garden and a nice pool. As a cherry on top of the cake we found a local church on our walk in the local village with young brother and sister welcoming us and singing just for us.

There is no other way that to end my review assuring that I really had best possible time in Tanzania with paradise like experiences ... and for sure a bit more of them that I had planned based on my initial research :)

Well organised, affordable and saw so many animals!
5/5

My girlfriend and I completed a 5 day Serengeti safari with Roko. We picked this company due to its cheap pricing, flexible itinerary, private tour and good locations. We enjoyed the use of guesthouses and we well accommodated with lots of food and a chef throughout our trip. They were very accommodating if there were any issues and the organisation of the whole trip was exceptional with clear communication from Miranda. We were picked up from the airport and taken straight to safari where we saw lots and lots of animals. We had a driver along with Roko our guide which allowed him to spot countless animals. We saw everything we wanted to and more and was full of big day safaris. Our only thing that could be improved was some clearer information about the plan for the day, where we were driving and more information about the animals but being a traditional Masi Mara man Roko gave us good insight about his background as well. Throughly recommend this to anyone who wishes to travel Tanzania privately as we always felt cared for and looked after!!!

Best custom safari operator!!!
5/5

Miranda and Roko were super helpful arranging our custom safari and optimizing the itinerary. They were very prompt replying by email and patient with questions. The vehicle was top notch, clean, well maintained, and had all the snacks and drinks our kids needed to stay happy. I would highly recommend this small company to arrange your safari needs! We stayed at their lodge and had very tasty home cooked meals.
Our driver Salim was very experienced, courteous, and safe. We would dart off across the Savanah and have no idea why then Salim would point out what he saw on the horizon (lions, cheetahs, hyenas). Overall saw 45 different lions in 3 days of safari along with countless other animals. Salim was the OG of Ndutu and helped so many others who were stuck with inexperienced drivers who were lost. Salim never tired after 12 hours of fun.

The Roko team made this the best safari ever!!!!

Amazing Safari with Roko :)
5/5

I'd really recommend Roko Safaris, I had a great time at Lake Natron, Ngorogoro, Lake Eyasi and Tarangire. Roko is super knowledgeable about Tanzanian culture and wildlife and a great guide. Organising my trip was really easy and I was able to customise the plan based on my budget, time frame, interests, dietary choices, and the season. Also travelling as a solo female, I always felt safe and comfortable on my safari. Thank you Roko Safaris!
