A safari the way it should be with Roko Safaris
Tanzania is already special. But Roko Safaris makes it unforgettable.
Our trip was tailor-made from start to finish — no standard programme, but a route built entirely around our wishes. Having the same guide and driver throughout meant we saw more, felt safe on both rugged terrain and busy roads, and built trust along the way.
The preparation was excellent: great tips in advance, wonderful local accommodations and everything perfectly arranged. We didn’t have to worry about a thing.
And most importantly: Roko Safaris doesn’t line up ten cars around one lion. They choose calm and respect for nature — and that’s exactly why we experienced moments we will never forget.
A recommendation? From us, absolutely. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very friendly Maasai guide with a keen eye for wildlife. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful two weeks. We were able to indicate in advance what we wanted to see, after which we received a complete proposal for the trip. It started in Arusha and Tarangiri National Park, followed by the Serengeti, Lake Natron, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The stays at the various lodges were fine, the overnight stay in the Serengeti was amazing, and the days at the remote Lake Natron in Lake Natron Maasai Guest House were unforgettable, with a view of Ol Doinyo Lengai, “the Mountain of God”. We had the opportunity to experience Maasai culture there, which was very special. During the two weeks, we were completely taken care of and relieved of any worries. We saw a lot of wildlife: giraffes, elephants, zebras, gazelles, buffaloes, lions, hartebeests, hyenas, hippos, waterbucks, and rhinos. Thanks to the keen eyes of Roco the guide, we also spotted a serval, families of yellow-spotted rock hyraxes, and chameleons. It was a wonderful adventure.

Absolutely amazing experience in Tanzania with Roko
We just spent one month touring South and East Africa and spent a lot of time researching this adventure beforehand. We prefer dealing with small and locally owned companies when possible. We are very fortunate to have chosen Roko Safaris for our Tanzania leg of the trip. First of all, trip planning and communication with both Roko and Miranda was very easy . Our many questions and emails were handled promptly and courteously.This trip was carefully designed around our wishes. Secondly, Roko is a local who grew up in the Masaai community. His insights into local customs and culture added a very special and unique aspect to a safari that is hard, if not impossible, to replicate. This was especially important to us as we were traveling with our 14 year old grandson and we wanted him to have a real and genuine cultural experience. This was far more than just a game viewing safari only and that was a desired outcome for us.
We could not be any more pleased with our time with Roko Safaris. The last thing to mention is that Roko's ability to spot game while on a game drive is remarkeable. We were able to watch and observe animals that other safari vehicles drove past without noticing. I liked the fact that he was not using the radio to go to the game that others had found. It made for a more genuine and relaxed safari experience. I strongly recommend Roko Safaris if you considering a visit to Tanzania. This safari far exceeded our expectations!
