Amazing Team and Safari !
This tour was fantastic for us, beginning with the excellent communication with Rodgers via Whatsapp to organize and continuing with Nelson, our really knowledgeable and compassionate guide. With him, we saw the Big Five as well as a variety of other creatures, including lions in action. Jambo Mara Lodge was lovely, the accommodations were clean and comfy, and we had a great time on this safari. I suggest Roju Safari Updates Team!

Wonderful Days
Perhaps because I was traveling solo, I was placed on a shared tour with travelers arranged by other companies; it took me a moment to fully grasp the situation.
On the day of the trip, Rodgers came to pick me up personally to handle the arrangements and give detailed instructions to Paul, who served as both driver and guide.
Paul skillfully navigated through traffic, and together with Gabriel—the wildlife guide—he led me straight to the animals.
Rodgers also arranged my stay at the Mara Sopa Lodge, as I had requested, ensuring a comfortable experience.
My first visit to Kenya and the Masai Mara was truly wonderful. Thank you very much.

Prompt responder and quick to solve issues
Rodgers was very responsive with the multiple queries we had before going on the safari - this made us feel very safe even before embarking on the trip. When met with an issue with the guide at the safari, Rodgers was quick to fix the issue and came all the way to get us. He also noted certain accomodation requests we had and went out of the way to ensure those were communicated to the hotels and met. Many thanks for the awesome experience!

Had an amazing trip!
Our 5 day/4 night safari was great. We saw all of the "big 5" animals and many others. Our guide was knowledgable and had a knack for finding interesting animals before they were swarmed by other groups.
The accommodations were all excellent, with great food and comfortable beds. I especially enjoyed the Sopa Lodge and could have happily stayed there for several days.
Rodgers provided top notch service and even drove several hours to personally drop us off at the next location when time was tight.
Highly recommended!

Incredible safari experience with Roju Safari Updates
Rodgers is an excellent tour operator who oversees the Roju safari updates excursions. He gently addressed all of our queries. He demonstrated the beauty of kenya in an incredible way. Last but not least, Shadrack, our tour guide and driver, is a lovely guy! We thoroughly enjoyed our four day trip with him. I strongly recommend Roju safari updates trips.
Excellent and reliable company
I recommend Roju Safaris; we booked our safari with them through the Safaribookings site and they were just so helpful throughout the whole process from pre-booking to customising the experience to match our wishes (flying into the Mara and returning by road). The lodge we stayed in at the Mara (Emayian luxury camp) was truly outstanding, and the private safari drive upon landing at the Mara was just wonderful (we saw rhinos). Rodgers was always attentive and responded quickly to queries. I would definitely recommend him and his company to anyone booking a safari in Kenya. You'll be in safe hands.

Efficient and reliable
Rodgers was extremely helpful and prompt. We were quite dissatisfied with our bookings at Mara Serena. But Rodgers was on top of the situation and acted on our side. Because of his expertise, our difficult experience turned into a positive one! We shall always accompany him on our future trips. We really endorse his services!

Professional team and incredible wildlife encounters
We attended the 3-Day Masai Mara Adventure group safari with Roju safari updates and had a fantastic time from start to finish. Rodgers from Sales Support ensured that the booking and communication processes ran smoothly and efficiently. He was really responsive and helpful before and after the booking. He carefully discussed the various safari packages and options available and answered all of our concerns about the trip details. His assistance instilled confidence in us and made planning simple.
Overall, the safari was well-organized and exceeded our expectations. We departed with incredible memories and would wholeheartedly suggest Roju safari updates to anyone looking for a well-managed and fun Masai Mara safari.
Thank you, Rodgers and Shadrack, for making our Safari experience so special.

Beautiful safari, but poor organization and an unprofessional guide.
The safari itself was a beautiful experience for me, with amazing landscapes and lovely accommodations. Despite the issues, I genuinely enjoyed it and would happily do a safari again.
Unfortunately, the organization was disappointing. We booked a 4-day safari, but after arriving we were told that our itinerary would be shortened to 3 days because we had been combined with another group with a different schedule. We complained about this and had to insist several times before the situation was partially resolved.
Our guide, Peter, was initially friendly, although we noticed that he rarely spotted animals himself and often followed other jeeps when they found something. We also noticed that other drivers could access certain areas that he told us he could not enter because he did not have the required license. For example, when we spotted a lion, other jeeps were able to get closer while we had to stay further away.
After we raised the issue about the itinerary, his attitude changed completely: he stopped speaking to us and no longer explained anything about the safari. On the last day, he also took us to the wrong hotel and was convinced that he was right until the hotel confirmed that we had no reservation there.
One final thing: check the prices carefully before paying. At the beginning, we were asked to pay €100 more than the amount we had calculated. The company said it was simply a mathematical mistake, and I hope that was the case, but I would recommend double-checking all calculations.
Overall, I loved the safari experience, but if I could do it again, I would definitely choose a different guide.

Amazing Experience
Our safari from beginning to end was fantastic! Very well-organized, excellent value for money, and highly enjoyable. Our guide Kevin and everyone at the hotel accomodation were excellent. We saw most of the species we hoped to see.
I highly suggest!
