Sheila made us feel so cared for and was extremely helpful.
I had a lot of fun on the safari, we had the opportunity to meet great people and see many animals. We had great people around us- Sheila, Brian, JJ, Charles, and Mosha were very kind.
The inconveniences we had were related to the itinerary. It stated we would be going for morning safaris and we did not. One of the accommodations also had to be changed the day of, and we also had a problem with a flight being booked for September instead of August. It seemed things were being booked last minute.
Overall, grateful to Kensai but would’ve liked for the trip to be by the itinerary.

Sheila was truly amazing and very attentive.
The safari was enjoyable and I have amazing memories. The guides were so nice and it really made the experience much better. Thank you to all the people that we met along the way! However, the timeline of the itinerary wasn’t as expected. I wished we have had more early morning game drives to have a better chance at seeing more animals. Also, it seemed like the accommodations were not booked until the last minute which caused a few delays and last minute changes. Overall, it was a great experience would just recommend having more organization and for the timeline to be more aligned with the itinerary.

Always so happy and nice. Full of energy.
Great tour! The tour guides were very accommodating if you want to get closer to an animal or more time taking pictures. I learned so many fun facts about the animals that I can’t wait to share with friends back home. The dinners were amazing. Best food I’ve had in South Africa. The camp ground was very nice. It did not feel like we were in a tent at all. You get comfortable beds, dresser, mirror, carpet, outlet for your plugs, and a fan. Best sleep I’ve gotten since I’ve been in South Africa. It was nicer than any of the hostels we stayed at.

Responsive, considerable and reliable tour operator
It was a wonderful family vacation joining the Rochar’s 9 day program including 7 days safari visiting 4 national reservation parks: Masai Mara, Nakuru Lake, Naivasha Lake, Amboseli, and 2 days relaxing on the beautiful white sand beach in Diani, south of Mombasa city.
All of Rochar’s staff were approachable and friendly, especially the tour planner, Isabella. She nicely arranged the trip for us, considering all the details that let us to see the diversity of Kenya. She was super responsive to our messages, always available for any questions or requests. Our driver, Jackson was a very reliable safari driver. We felt safe in his car. If you’re looking for an aggressive driver, who drives the fastest and squeezes into the lines, he’s not your type.
All the hotels were great except one. The shower water heating system of Penety Amboseli Resort shall be replaced for better customer experience. The hotel manger was fully aware of the issue and said they plan to get it replaced (in all rooms) when the current tourism season is over.
A few tips for those traveling for the first time to Kenya:1) public wifi in hotels may not meet your expectations. Consider to bring portable WiFi or use local SIM cards. 2) US dollars work everywhere in the country. However, you may pay more in US dollars than in local currencies. 3) In general, do not walk outside of your hotel after sunset for your security.
Last but not the least, I highly recommend Rochar Africa Expeditions and Isabella to be your travel planner.

Very nice and a one-time experience!
It was a great safari with incredible moments. We got in touch with Vision Safari through friends who were completely satisfied, so we received a few offers via WhatsApp and decided on a 4-day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Park with a trip to Kilimanjaro for a coffee tour and the hot springs. Everything was well planned and we were always kept informed about the schedule. I have nothing negative to say. The food was always good and we really saw a lot. I would book it again through Vision Safari.

The operator is really nice, friendly, accommodating and you feel like you're in good hands
The safari we booked through Vision Tours was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The people were friendly, helpful, caring and overall really pleasant. We saw so many different animals and the nature is also worth seeing. Camping also gives you an extraordinary experience and you can even hear different animals at night.
The staff often asks you if everything is okay and how things are going. That makes you feel like you're in good hands. All in all, the whole thing was a great experience that I can only recommend to everyone

Wonderful experience, highly recommended
The suggested itinerary matched perfectly with our preferences. All accommodations were carefully chosen and according to our budget. Everything was very well planned and well communicated in advance (driving times, facilities, activities) and there was still room to profit from last minute opportunities.
Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable about animals, birds and the country. He was always in a good mood and eager to satisfy our requests and questions.
PEA Tours has always been quick to respond when planning the tour.
Our Namibian Grand Tour was a wonderful experience and highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Namibia.

Jhony was the best guide and confuctor we could have had, he always strived to achieve the best view
On the first day they picked us up at the hotel, after 5 hours of travel, we arrived at the campsite, had lunch and left for our first tour of the Masai Mara national reserve. That day we saw beautiful animals such as elephants, zebras, buffalos, gazelles, wildebeests and timbalas. The second day was great, very early we went into the deepest part of the reserve, and we were able to see, thanks to our wonderful guide and driver, the 5 largest animals. hippos, rhinoceroses, lions, elephants, giraffes, and other smaller ones such as cheetahs, leopards, pigs, hyenas, antelopes, birds and reptiles. The food at the campsite was incredible and the tents were perfectly clean, with a private bathroom and no mosquitoes. The staff was very friendly, good vibes and we had an excellent experience with my friends from Chile.
