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!

JUST AMAZING 😍

5/5

We went on a safari with the local agency Roko safari and it was truly incredible! We left with wonderful memories of this fabulous experience and adventure! We thank Roko for his incredible welcome at the airport and his kindness! Everything was perfect! We were with our guide Saidi who spoke French and our cook Maneno during the stay and they both contributed to a more than successful stay! We had taken the camping option to be closer to nature and we have great memories of it! I can only recommend this safari to be closer to nature, animals and landscapes! :)

An unforgettable, special experience with a new culture and beautiful nature!

5/5

My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Roko and Miranda. There was clear communication about the content of our trip in advance and it was adjusted to our personal preferences. Roko really has a lot of knowledge about nature, animals and the entire culture in Tanzania. We were able to see many animals and we were really lucky with this, but Roko and the driver also knew where to find the right places in the national parks. We also had a cook with us on safari who served us delicious food!
Afterwards we stayed for a week in Lake Natron. In the Maasai Guesthouse you will not miss anything as a guest. We also went on a walk to the lake and the waterfalls with Roko (and his brother Bura) as a guide, both walks are definitely recommended! Just like booking with Roko Safaris!

Our first Africa experience with Roko Safaris was amazing!

5/5

In preparation to our holiday we had lovely contact with Miranda and Roko. In consultation, a very nice trip was put together, where we were able to make choices between various accommodations. The contact went very smoothly, both by email and WhatsApp. We booked our own flights and were picked up by Miranda on arrival in the middle of the night. It was very nice to be picked up at Kilimanjaro airport by a familiar face. We were taken to our first accommodation and after several hours of sleep and a delicious breakfast, Miranda was ready to show us some of the local African life. After a relaxing first day, our amazing safari began.

We are very satisfied with the trip. The combination of a week of safari and a week of Zanzibar was really nice! And that through a very small-scale and personal travel agency, so lines of communication were short. Also the accommodations booked were all very nice, including good food and very friendly service (Especially Mkomazi Wilderniss Retreat; magical place!!). Also the driver (Cosma) drove safely and comfortably in a jeep that was fine for us. What we noticed compared to other safari jeeps, was that our guide Roko really tried his best to spot the animals in the back of the jeep. Roko was very eager during the entire trip to find the big 5 for us, and.. we spotted them (the Rhinos during the last 5 minutes of our safari). Big thanks to Roko! Well done!

As tips, we would like to give the following suggestions/feedback:
- Last day to save miles in the Jeep, book/recommend guests a flight from Serengeti National Park to Zanzibar via Seronera Airport. (instead of driving back to Kilimanjaro/Arusha)
- For us personally: some game drives were a bit much both in duration and kilometers in one day, due to the bumpy roads. Moreover, we were not fully prepared for this either.
- More communication of destination, travel time, day/driving schedule / plan the campaign etc. We as guests like the advice from you as guides, after all you know best what to do. Take us even more into that during the day.
- In retrospect, for the week safari we did not quite have the right luggage with us matched to the weather. Possibly a packing list for the guests would be helpful.
- Some more guidance on how to deal with local people regarding tipping and donations (e.g. playing children asking for candy)

Thanks again so much for making this unforgettable trip possible for us!! We have already recommended you to several friends and acquaintances.

Groetjes!
