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. During our travel in Africa, they were always taking good care of us. Our guides lider, John, was amazing, he is a very experienced and charismatic person. Simon the second guide also did a great job. Thanks Rochar África for this amazing vacation. Thanks also to James and Charles.
Carolina · Panama
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
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.
