A Truly Mind-Blowing Safari Experience with Rochar Africa
Our recent safari with Rochar Africa Expeditions was absolutely unforgettable — a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded every expectation. From planning to execution, the level of service, promptness, and reliability was nothing short of world-class.
The back-office team, especially Phinorah and Lenzer, were exceptional. Communication was fast, clear, and professional at every stage, and their attention to detail made the entire trip seamless and stress-free.
Our driver and guide, John, was outstanding. His deep wildlife knowledge, excellent driving skills, and calm professionalism made every game drive a pleasure. What truly set John apart was his honesty and integrity — you could trust his guidance completely. He also facilitated a meaningful and respectful visit to a Maasai village in the Maasai Mara, which added a powerful cultural dimension to the journey and became one of the trip’s highlights.
The accommodations were equally impressive. We enjoyed excellent stays at Ol Tukai Lodge, Sawela Lodge, Sarovar Lodge, and Ashnil Mara Lodge — each offering comfort, great service, and stunning locations that perfectly complemented the safari experience.
From incredible wildlife sightings to seamless logistics and unforgettable cultural moments, everything was handled with care and precision. Rochar Safari delivers on every promise and then goes beyond. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a truly exceptional African safari experience.

An Epic Family Adventure
Our Tanzanian adventure was a perfect blend of nature and culture. From the majestic elephants of Tarangire to the huge wildebeest herds filling the endless plains of the Serengeti, we were constantly in awe. Cheetahs raced across the plains, lions soaked in the sun, and giraffes towered over the landscape. The hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti was a surreal experience, offering a stunning bird’s-eye view of the wilderness. Musa, our incredible guide, brought every moment to life with his knowledge and passion.
Our time with the Hadzabe and Maasai tribes gave us a deeper understanding of the land and its people. This journey, filled with wildlife and rich traditions, is something I’ll never forget.

Exceptional
Fransisca was extremely helpful and responsive right from the planning stage. She patiently answered all our questions and helped us feel confident about the itinerary. The lodges and camps she selected were absolutely phenomenal — each stay added something special to the overall experience.
A special shout-out to Joshua, our guide and driver. On a safari, the guide truly defines the experience, and Joshua exceeded all expectations. He was friendly, highly knowledgeable, and had an excellent understanding of wildlife and the park. His calm approach and sharp spotting skills made our game drives unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari.
Overall, a very well-organized and memorable Serengeti experience. Highly recommended!

Very professional tour operator, great safari with excellent guide
Kubwa is based in Uganda so I was a bit uncertain how well they would know the southern Tanzanian parks, but they gave us very good and specific advise and helped us create a very good, customized itinerary.
Communication was generally very good, although at one point there was a delay in their responses, which I think was because they were very busy at the time. They were very flexible and updated the quotation multiple times as we fine tuned the plan together. We asked multiple operators for quotations and Kubwa was competitive on price and were the ones who gave us the best advise and thus gave us the best impression so we chose them.
Everything worked exactly as planned, and our guide Davis was exceptionally good. We've been on many safaris and we must say that Davis is at the very top of the range of guides we've had. His animal spotting was out of this world, and his instincts on where to find animals was amazing. When you book with Kubwa you will most likely get a different guide than we did, but considering how positive everyone is when reviewing Kubwa, it seems to me they have a very good network of guides they work with across all countries.

Attentive, organized, punctual agent prioritizing road safety, giving peace of mind on long journey.
Our 7-day, 6-night trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana was thoughtfully planned and well suited for traveling with both children and elderly family members. Communication with our tour guide, Lee, was smooth and effortless—he understood our needs clearly, especially when it came to food preferences, comfort, and safety. We enjoyed truly exotic and authentic safari experiences, with Hwange being especially unforgettable, as large herds of elephants gathered just outside our lodge, along with sightings of zebras, wildebeest, and many other unexpected moments. One of the highlights was an unplanned safari adventure with Lee to spot the rare and endangered painted dogs near our lodge, where we were fortunate to capture incredible close-up photos. It was a deeply rewarding holiday that beautifully balanced careful planning with exciting surprises.

Life Changing Safari!
Gift is an amazing safari guide! We had the best 5 days and got a chance to see the big 5 (and much much more). Gift didn’t just take us to the busy spots where everyone was trying to get a good look but found us some great sightings where we were the only jeep there. Gift is extremely knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and, most importantly, respectful of the environment and animals. I will be recommending this experience to everyone and certainly recommend Gift as a guide!

Seamless!
Nuhu has been a great safari game ride guide and driver. We were lucky to have seen the big 4 in our 2 days game drive, plus the commentaries given were superb. Frank the Alphard driver between Morogoro train station to Mikumi drove us safely. The accommodation crew at Lilac has given us A+++ service. Merice es the admin lady has been great organising the whole trip for us, party of 6 - 4 adults & 2 kids. So overall it aas SEAMLESS. Thank you all!
