They meet every need
Working with Rochar especially Phinorah has been so easy and an enjoyable experience. She is very responsive hard working to get us answers and works her hardest to satisfy our requests. My only tip would be to have it one level up with the small details. Like name plaques for when we arrive, picnic baskets/blankets for when we are having lunch drives. Ensuring the drivers are ready on the car ready to start the day. Showered and clean uniforms.
But that are small details. Overall Richard has been a great tour operator and will recommend them to friends and family.

Expert guide services with great sense of humor!
We are so pleased we traveled with Rochar! John was an amazing guide and friend who took great care of us and every day surprised us with something we hadn’t expected. We laughed our way through seeing the Big 5 twice and thoroughly enjoyed several bonus expeditions. We highly recommend Rochar, John, and Phinorah. You can’t go wrong with them.

We travelled with Rosario's group. Our first driver was Francis then Simon.
The tour was superb. A trully unique and wonderful experienced enjoyed by all. WE started in Nairobi which is a dusty, congested and loud city with horrendous traffic. However accomodations were first class, comfortable and enjoyable. Travelling through the roads of Kenya is a slow process with many trucks on the highway and one travels through many small towns. These excersions from one national park to another were well coordinated and planned with stops along the way wich included clean bathrooms and places to shop. Once one got to the national parks (Samburu, Amboselli, Ol Pajeta, Massai Mara, Lake Nakuro, Lake Naivisha (sp?) Tsavo East and West. It was a unique and very pleasant experience. We saw plenty of wild animals in their natural enviornment and up close. The splendor of the migration of antelopes rolled in front of our eyes continuously as far as the eye could see. Animals looked healthy and protected. WE could appreciate the uniqueness of each park and their unique fauna and flora.
Our guides Francis followed by Simon were super. They were friendly, organized, punctual and very knowledgeable about all aspects of nature and Kenyan life. They also took excellent care of our vehicle making us feel safe at all times. They enhanced the experience and we were amazed at their ability to spot animals in the wild. We also appreciated their patience as one of our group members is an amateur photographer and she was constantly asking for different positioning of the vehicle to capture better pictures. Overall a superb trip and we feel lucky to have been able to participate. Great Job Rochar! HIghly recommended!

The tour operator Ms. Phinorah has been really helpful in planning the entire trip.
The trip was full of surprises as the safaris never got boring from zebras to leopards and cheetah, the wild flavour kept getting better each day, all thanks to Mr. Samuel Kisemei and his instincts and abilities throughout the safari. Apart from the safari experience, our trip kept getting better because of the amazing person that Mr. Samuel is, he is always ready to give the best experiences throughout the trip including spotting the rarest animals like leopards and cheetahs, which is legendary. Further, even the properties selected for us were absolutely beautiful. The cost could be more reasonable considering the number of days, however, the overall experience was fantastic.

Supportive of a once in a lifetime adventure!
I worked with Phinorah to organize my trip to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara and Simon was my guide. The accommodations at each location were absolutely gorgeous and the game drives were more than fulfilling and fun. Simon was very knowledgeable and we were able to see the Big 5 thanks to his skillful navigation and strategic communication with other game drivers. I would book with him again as he is very kind and experienced. He answered my questions about the wildlife and did his best to put me in close view. I was also able to book a hot air balloon ride over the Mara and would 100000% recommend it. My heart felt so full and gleeful as we flew over the park and watched the sun rise.
As a female solo traveler there were a few moments I felt anxious and uncomfortable with the behavior of certain staff at Amboseli Serena and Ilkeliani Mara (I was asked for my home address by someone who took interest and wanted to “visit” me and was asked about whether black and white people “mix” in the US or live in separate neighborhoods, amongst other strange personal questions about my household and marital status), but Simon and Phinorah made sure to support me and ensure my comfort and safety at every juncture. They reported my discomfort and the managers of both hotels apologized and addressed the situation. Overall I enjoyed my trip to Kenya and would do it again, just maybe not alone.
