A fantastic trip, well organized!
At the recommendation of an acquaintance, we ended up booking with Roko Safaris: and yes, they absolutely lived up to the recommendation! A major plus was being able to communicate in our own language, even in our local Limburgs dialect. The communication and service were fine. Miranda was always available for any questions or anything else we needed.
We would also like to give a huge compliment to our driver and guide, Ole, as well as our chef, Mohamed. Thanks to them, we had nine fantastic days on safari. Our trip was the perfect combination of culture, nature, and wildlife.
As for the price-quality ratio: when we first started looking online for trips to Africa, we were shocked by the prices. But as soon as we started talking to Miranda, we quickly got over that shock: a realistic price, it really is possible!
Oh, and if you do book a trip through Roko Safaris, make sure to spend a few nights at their accommodation, Maasai Guesthouse, near Lake Natron as well. It’s beautiful!

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).

Amazing Roundtrip including Lake Natron, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
Value for money was good. We‘ve seen all animals including some spectacular hunts in a private safari for 2 people. The guides gave a lot of interesting insights about the animals and the nature. Sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti in a tent was an amazing experience as you could hear lions and hyenas at night! Roko Safaris is also very flexibly available on short notice. We got into contact for our trip only two days in advance!
