Once in a lifetime experience!
This was the most unbelievable experience! We did the 8-day hike and safari, and Roko's expertise in finding animals, knowledge of the landscape, and the people surpassed anything we could have hoped for. If you like backcountry camping and seeing animals while hiking rather than in a line of motor cars then this is for you. We hiked 8-13 miles (12-20km) a day. However, Roko will adjust to your needs and was very vigilant in monitoring our well-being. We camped in tents for four nights, guest houses for two nights, and one night glamping in the Serengeti. We traveled with two Masaai guides, a cook, and a driver. The food was phenomenal, and there were new meals for lunch and dinner every day. Roko went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and experiencing as much of the landscape as possible. Every day, we crossed different terrain and encountered new birds and wild animals. If you are a birder, be sure to bring a book. We saw so many different species every day, and it was helpful... Read more to keep track. One of my favorite experiences was learning so much about Maasai culture and their daily life. All of us felt the hiking portion of the trip was our favorite. One last note: Roko Safari is run by a local Maasai, Roko, and all of the money goes directly into the community, unlike many of the European-owned tours.

An Amazing Adventure
My wife and I and two other fellow travelers embarked on an 8 days walking safari with Roko and his wonderful crew. We had two very knowledgeable Maasai guides with us at all times. The supporting team met us ahead with prepared meals and lodging.
We had the amazing opportunity of hiking the backcountry with no other tourists in sight. The guides were very familiar with the terrain and the local tribes. Roko Safaris went above and beyond to make sure we had all the necessities of the trek.
This was a very educational and transformative trip for me. It left me with great memories of the safari and Tanzania. I highly recommend Roko Safaris.

Roko Safaris makes our Lake Natron trip into a fabulous memorable fantastic experience.
We are city folks from Singapore and Lake Natron is the most remote place we have ever been. Many tour operators offer trips to the lake, even Booking com offer a few accommodations choice . But i am so glad i got in touch with Miranda through WhatsApp to plan a 4 days stay. Deciding what we want was easy - to experience the Maasai culture, villages walk, the desolate landscape, the alkaline lake, view wildlife flamingoes, giraffes, zebras, baboons , waterfalls hike, chill out at her lodge. All our wishes are fulfilled! Miranda is easy going and planned the itinerary effortlessly, quick and detailed quote. All to suit your timing, pick up location and return. (Moshi-Natron-Arusha for us) Settling of payment terms was easy through Wise account. The guest house hospitality was amazing, rooms clean and comfortable ensuring a a good sleep. But most of all it is a family cottage and the atmosphere is warm. The team of staff are awesome, friendly and caring. The meals we had are excellent,... Read more fresh and healthy. It was a Chef menu every day! and we really enjoyed mealtimes. Although we didn’t plan to climb the volcano mountain. There are enough things to keep you occupied for 2 to 3 days if you are planning to come this way. Two gentlemen assigned to us also makes this journey fun, driver Lazaro and guide Massi. We love their company and plenty of memorable pictures! Miranda can organise safaris with a combination of Lake Natron, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, i am sure it will be fantastic. Thank you to the professional team with years of experience, Roko Safaris kept us safe and happy.

Lazaro exceeded expectations and gave us an experience we won’t forget.
Roko Safaris exceeded our expectations drastically, as two 24 year olds we were looking for a budget safari and what we experienced was priceless. Based off what we saw from other groups our safari experience was more personal and unique than the bigger companies, that seemed to be in it more for the money then giving their clients an experience they won’t forget. Seeing everything we could’ve asked for and more with our guide going to every extent for us. He was even able to drive us to the airport after, was extremely friendly, and knew everything there was to know about the animals and culture within Tanzania. I would highly recommend Roko Safaris to anyone looking for a true safari experience.

Precious memories - Bao la kiswahili
Miranda & Roko have planned a divers travelprogram. In advance and during our trip it was really helpful to ask as many questions as you would like to. We started at Tarangire, a great beginning of our Safari. The colours of nature, the rhythmic gait of giraffes and all the animals we spotted on day 1. We’re already in love. Olais is a fantastic (game) driver and his knowledge of nature & culture life was extensive. He is helpful, funny and really relaxed. Our cook Maneno treated us to creative dishes three times a day. Jummie! Following the rhythm of nature, camping with the sounds of wildlife and the raging of the wind. Prescious. Ngorongoro & Serengeti give us the Big 5 and we enjoyed every minute. With the immersion in the life of Maasai we completed our trip at Maasai Guesthouse. 8 days we’ll never forget 💚
