Walking tour through Ngorongoro Highlands with authentic Maasai connection
Our 5-day Ngorongoro Highlands Hike with Roko was an interesting and enjoyable experience. Day 1 and day 5 are driving days between Arusha and the highlands/rift valley with two walks (Olmoti & Empakaai) added on day 1 which was a good way to start the tour.
Day 2 & 3 were the real walking days with a long descent towards Lake Natron on day 3.
These two days also gave us opportunity to observe and interact with Maasai people who live in the area. This was interesting and made this tour very special.
On day 4 we visited a hot spring near Lake Natron. We weren’t able to do the walk to the waterfall although there was plenty of downtime in the afternoon. We would have liked to do a walk that day as well so worthwhile exploring with Roko in advance if that is possible.
We also had the opportunity to do some bonus game driving in the “little Serengeti” and saw plenty of wildlife during the drive back to Arusha.
The accommodation at the Maasai Guesthouse in Esaserongo was very good.
The meals and snacks provided during the trip were of high quality, with fresh ingredients and good flavours. Don’t worry about getting hungry: Roko, Miranda and the chef will ensure that there is plenty of food.
We would recommend this tour to people who want a small scale tour with walking activities involved, who don’t mind camping in the bush and who are prepared to travel according to “Africa time “ (waiting for things to happen without being clear what you are waiting for).
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Perfect Safari Experience — Thank You Lazaro, Miranda, and Roko!
I had the most amazing and perfect trip — truly the experience of a lifetime! My guide, Lazaro, was a local Maasai man who knew the land and animals so well. Even though it’s not a zoo and sightings can be unpredictable, he was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure I saw everything I dreamed of: cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, flamingos, and so much more.
As a solo female traveler, I always felt completely safe and comfortable. Lazaro was kind, respectful, and professional, and he even helped take great photos of me throughout the trip! He spoke excellent English and went above and beyond — helping me negotiate fair prices for souvenirs, setting up camp, and arranging everything perfectly.
The camping experience was wonderful — the cook prepared delicious meals every night, with plenty to eat, and the tent was very comfortable (I’m used to camping, so I felt right at home). I later learned that I had paid far less for my private safari than others had for shared ones, and I couldn’t believe the value I received.
Lazaro also helped me organize an unforgettable hot air balloon ride — the views over the Serengeti were absolutely incredible and something I’ll never forget. Miranda and Roko handled all my logistics, including airport pickups, drop-offs, and lovely hotel stays before and after the safari. I had some issues with payment when arranging my trip and Miranda was so kind and patient with me. Their communications were always timely and professional, and they even had a gift for me when I arrived.
Everything was seamless from start to finish. I can’t recommend this team enough to anyone thinking about visiting Tanzania.
Thank you so much, Lazaro, Miranda, and Roku, for making my dream safari come true!

Glad that I found Roko Safaris
Many thanks to Miranda, a tour agent, who communicated with me when I was preparing my trip. And also a lot of gratitude to my driver Ephata.
I was a solo female traveller from Europe and worried a little about my personal trip to Tanzania. I have communicated with several travel agencies and Miranda was very attentive and responsive, she gave me an overview of the possible options and alternatives for my trip, so I had a feeling that she knows what she is advising, not just selling the tour. And that was really so, I enjoyed my safari a lot.
My driver Ephata was very experiencied and polite, he knows so many pathways in the National Parks which is very important for a safari driver. So with him you can be sure that he will do his best to please you.
Logdes where I spent several nights were also nice, clean, tasty food, hot water.
So I can recommend Roko Safaris to other tourists with all confidence.
Thank you very much for the unforgettable journey!

Top notch personalized itinerary that made our first safari experience unforgettable
We are very glad we chose Roko Safaris for our safari. We had contacts with Miranda before the departure - she was always very responsive and informative. We also had the flexibility of personalizing the original itinerary with a couple of extra activities and with logistic details that better suited our needs. Once our safari began, we immediately appreciated their organization and professionalism, along with their friendliness. We had the pleasure to sleep at their guest house for the first two nights. The landscapes and the view over lake Natron were wonderful and peaceful. Our last night it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a super tasty cake and a local celebration. That made it a very special birthday. We were also very satisfied of the safari itself. Our driver and guide Epahta is very knowledgeable and helped us spot so many animals on the way. After the second day, we already saw most of the animals we wanted to see. Epahta was also very respectful of the parks' rules and made sure that the animals were not disturbed or bothered by our presence there. He also told us some interesting facts on what we were seeing, for example how to distinguish the various types of antelopes, or some information about the animals behaviors. If you are looking for a company to assist you with your safari trip, look no further. Roko safari is a great choice and they will for sure go the extra mile to make sure you will have the best experience!
