Your safari adventure begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park, located in the Great Rift Valley. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of the escarpment and make brief stops at viewpoints for photography. Upon arrival, check in at your lodge and enjoy lunch overlooking the shimmering lake. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive through the park, renowned for its large populations of rhinos, both black and white, as well as lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, and numerous antelope species. The alkaline lake is also a paradise for bird lovers, attracting flamingos, pelicans, and over 400 bird species. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner while watching the changing colors over the lake. Dinner and overnight: Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.

After an early breakfast, depart for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The journey takes you through rolling hills, traditional Maasai villages, and open savannahs. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or camp. In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive in the Mara, a region teeming with wildlife. The reserve is home to the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — and is especially famous for the great wildebeest migration (July to October). Even outside migration season, the Mara offers some of the richest game viewing in Africa. Return to your lodge in the evening to enjoy a warm dinner and unwind around the campfire under a starlit sky. Dinner and overnight: Mara Sopa Lodge.

From there, continue into the legendary Serengeti National Park, known for its endless rolling plains and immense concentration of wildlife. As you drive into Central Serengeti, enjoy your first game drive en route to the lodge, with chances to spot lions lounging on rocks, cheetahs scanning the grasslands, or herds of wildebeest grazing. This region offers excellent year-round game viewing due to its resident wildlife population. Arrive at your lodge in time for dinner, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Morning and afternoon game drives offer a chance to witness big cats in action, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra, and an extraordinary variety of birds. The Central Serengeti (Seronera area) is particularly known for its resident predator populations — lions, leopards, and cheetahs can often be seen year-round. Between drives, relax at your lodge and soak in the incredible views of the plains. As evening falls, enjoy a sundowner followed by dinner under a canopy of stars.

In the afternoon, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations in the world. The crater floor is a natural sanctuary for more than 25,000 animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, and the rare black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater before driving to your lodge perched on the crater rim, offering stunning panoramic views.

It was a great experience — the service, the kindness, the knowledge of the guides, the punctuality, the hotels. On my next trip to Africa, I would definitely choose Rochar African Expedition again. Jhon, Simon, and Luis are the best

Rochar were amazing. They planned the perfect vacation for us.
Rochar Africa gave us a perfect experience. During the preparation part, they were very flexible providing us different options and changes in order to get the best itinerary for us.

Wow
It was the reviews on this page that helped me to book a safari with Rochar Africa so it is my pleasure to write this. First and foremost, at the centre of it all was Phinorah who put together our Maasai Mara itinerary. She was amazing from start to finish. I was most impressed by her attention to detail and the fact that she worked around the clock to provide us with the best options to suit all our needs. She was kind, professional and, unassuming. What an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. Special thanks to Jonathon and Denton our safari guides too. 10/10 experience. Majestic in every way.
Anjlee · United Kingdom
Excellent Safari Experience
From our first communication with Phinorah to our final few moments with Jonathan, our guide/driver, our seven day safari was excellent. Our accommodations at the four locations where we stopped were exceptional. The game drives in each park provided many opportunities for seeing many animals of every kind.
