Rochar Africa Expeditions is an operator with great responsibility and care for their guests.
Luckily, our tour operator is Miss Isabella.
I originally booked the trip for July and after making the down payment, I decided to postpone the trip to October because of the protests breaking out in the end of June and I was concerned with the safety issue, especially when I took my son, a little boy with me.
Miss Isabella totally understood my concerns and immediately helped rearrange the trip.
The first day we met the beginning of October, she hopped on the land cruiser to ride with us for about one and half an hour, although the driver and tour guide Jackson was there with us. I was thinking she just took a ride to somewhere but later she told us she just wanted to be with us talking with us to make sure everything is ok, and she hopped off in a stopover and alone called for a motorbike taxi back to Nairobi.
That is just a surprising beginning of a perfect trip from Amboseli to Tsavo, to Diani beach. From Tsavo, we took the train to Diani and from Mombasa we took the flight back to Nairobi. Every transitions Isabella arranged are smooth. More, all the hotels or lodges she arranged for us are within the national parks, all the best location.
The 8 - day trips are more than what we expected, especially compared with our another 5 - day trip we booked from another company from Nakuru to Masai Mara, which is a little disappointing. Although we have paid high price, the other company arranged all our stays outside the park (much lower prices compared with the hotels and lodges inside the park ). The only good thing about the last part of our trip is we magically found our tour guide is still Jackson.
As I have lost my mail account I used to connect with Rochar Africa Expeditions and Miss Isabella due to complex reasons after returning to China, I would like to send my best wishes to Rochar and Isabella hereby.

The entire journey was a masterpiece of adventure and relaxation.
Traveling with Rochar Africa Expeditions was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Phinorah’s professionalism in planning every detail ensured we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Saitoti, our guide, was phenomenal—he had a remarkable ability to spot even the most elusive animals and shared countless interesting facts about Kenya’s wildlife and ecosystems. We were lucky to see the Big Five, including a leopard lounging in a tree and a herd of elephants crossing the savanna. The accommodations were luxurious yet perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings, providing a sense of tranquility and comfort. The entire journey was a masterpiece of adventure and relaxation.

Choosing Expedition Was a Surprising Choice
Choosing Rochar Africa Expeditions for our 9 day safari trip was an amazing choice. Everything was well organized, the airport pickup worked perfectly and the car was very new and reliable. Most importantly, we got an amazing guide/driver Isabella who made our safari truly amazing! His experience level, impeccable driving skills, as well as his sense of humor made all the difference. Next time we will definitely book with Rochar Africa Expeditions again!!

Our operator Miss Isabella is excellent
All the trip makes us feel good. Isabella is kind enough to travel with us for half day to make sure everything is great with us, although she is not guide/driver.

Impeccable journey with Rochar Africa Expedition!
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Rochar Africa Expedition. From the very beginning, Isabella's prompt and efficient communication made planning our trip a breeze. She was attentive to our needs and ensured everything was perfectly arranged. Our guide, Charles, was nothing short of fantastic. His extensive knowledge and experience brought our East African adventure to life, as he skillfully led us to view many unique animals in their natural habitats. Charles's passion for wildlife and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience truly set this expedition apart. The combination of excellent service, insightful guidance, and the thrill of encountering diverse wildlife made our journey exceptional. I highly recommend Rochar Africa Expedition for anyone looking to explore the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of East Africa. Thank you for an incredible experience!

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.
