My recent trip to Tanzania, with my husband’s family members, was my third trip to Africa. Our first was The Greatest Safari on Earth and second, a trip with my family members in South Africa, all curated with ROAR. Tanzania did not disappoint…we were there during the migration, with zebras and wildebeast walking single file horizon to horizon. We saw all big game and more. The ROAR team covers every detail. From pre planning your destination until a final zoom call ensures names, ages, visas, connections, types of rooms, wants, needs, allergies, all these details to ensure you arrive and get through customs, meet drivers and guides as smoothly as possible. We continually felt safe and taken care of upon arriving in Africa until departing. The team is also on the ground in Africa to confront any need that arises. There is also an app with your personal itinerary for daily updates, communication, weather, and photo uploads. The properties are vetted and visited by their team. You are welcomed the minute you arrive and every friendly courtesy extended during your stay. Education and conservation are often over looked in considering a safari but both provide opportunity at lodges ROAR recommends. Gardening, cooking schools, wine tasting, local dancers, water conservation in dry months, rhino/elephant conservation and tagging, the craft of sandal making, bead belts and jewelry and the healing of spa aromatherapy. All apart of the unique culture in this amazing country. As much as I love the daily safaris and peaceful landscape, there is so much more to discover. ROAR opened these doors for us. I wouldn’t travel to Africa with out them! We have another trip planned in January to Cape Town and Antarctica!

ROAR AFRICA gave us an absolutely extraordinary experience. It was truly unreal. The places we stayed were remarkable, the people who cared for us were wonderful, and the wildlife encounters were incredible. Every part of the journey felt special, and the thought, care and effort that went into it showed. Our guides and camp teams were fantastic, and the team behind the scenes deserves just as much credit. We came hoping to experience the magic of Africa and we certainly witnessed the ROAR. It's an adventure we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend.

The great difference between an ordinary trip and an unforgettable journey is made by people - the loved ones you travel with and the professionals you choose for the experience of a lifetime. Since the very beginning, ROAR AFRICA stood out in customizing our trip to South Africa, with an attention to detail that we rarely witnessed somewhere else. As soon as our journey began, an amazing team of guides, drivers and rangers made it effortless for us to wander around cities, vineyards and the bush, feeling safe in every place and circumstance, getting to know the history and all the modern shades of such a unique country. We’ll always be grateful to all of them for taking care of us, requiring on our side one single thing: to live the dream and feel the magic.

Once in a lifetime must do. We did 9 days/8 nights in Kenya and Rwanda and could not have asked for a better experience. Your journey is individually curated for your personal interests and needs, which we really appreciated. The team is so fantastic and complete experts. They were very responsive and caring before and throughout the trip! Recommend highly :)

We spent one week in South Africa with ROAR AFRICA: a few days in Cape Town, then Babylonstoren in the Winelands, and finally a safari at Jamala Madikwe. It was the experience of our lifetime. What made the difference was the team behind it. Three very different places in one week could easily feel rushed, but every transfer, every check-in, every small detail was already taken care of before we even thought about it. It started the moment we landed. Our guide was waiting for us right at the gate, helped us get through passport control much faster, and before we even realized it we were already at our hotel in Cape Town. After a long flight, that alone is priceless. Then the safari. ROAR chose Jamala Madikwe for us and it was unbelievably beautiful, quiet and intimate. We had several game drives with just the two of us, which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. Simply incredible. A funny thing: I recently saw an ad from ROAR AFRICA with the line "When it has to be perfect". I smiled, because that's pretty much the best summary of our trip. If you're looking for authentic luxury in Africa, I really don't think there's anything comparable out there. Would we travel with ROAR again? Without a second thought. We're already talking about where to go next.
