If I could only take someone on one journey in Africa, this would be it.
This is the trip that inspired Rock My Adventure – a carefully crafted adventure through the very best of Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
It combines Africa’s most iconic wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures and beautiful beaches into one unforgettable journey. From thrilling Big Five safaris and time with the Maasai to colourful local markets, hidden gems and Zanzibar’s crystal-clear waters, this is East Africa at its absolute best.
It’s our signature trip for a reason.

Why Travel With Rock My Adventure?
I’ve spent the last 17 years exploring Africa, building genuine friendships and creating the kind of adventures I always wished existed.
Every Rock My Adventure itinerary is personally researched and designed by me, inspired by the incredible people I’ve met, the places I’ve fallen in love with and the experiences that have kept drawing me back year after year.
Whether I’m travelling with the group or one of our trusted Rock My Adventure leaders is hosting the adventure, our goal is always the same: to help you experience Africa in a way that feels genuine, personal and unforgettable.
I’d love for you to experience it too.

“Without a doubt the best tour I’ve ever been on. I loved every, single, bloody minute of this trip. From the minute it started in Nairobi I KNEW I was on the right tour. Met my expectations, smashed passed them and blew right into the stratosphere. I wanted a slightly elevated tour, but without missing that connection to the people and the places, and this tour gave me all of that and more. YOU ROCKED MY ADVENTURE!!!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’ll spend our first full day settling into life in Kenya and getting on Nairobi time. In the morning, we’ll go on safari in Nairobi National Park, looking for rhinos, lions and other animals and visit the baby elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
After lunch, we’ll go on a city tour with a group of former street boys. They’ll share their personal stories with us and show you a side of Nairobi that very few tourists get to experience. You will come away with a whole mix of emotions and lots of inspiration.
In the evening, your group leader will organise dinner at a fabulous local restaurant for those who want to join.

PLEASE NOTE: We are staying at a bush camp on the outskirts of the Mara for 3 nights – this involves staying in twin tents with stretcher beds, bedding provided and basic ensuite bathrooms (hot bucket shower, short drop toilet and sink). There are also separate long drop toilets onsite. It’s basic, but very comfortable and always an awesome and authentic experience.
Day 3: Masai Mara, Kenya
After breakfast, you’ll have the chance to learn about and feed Rothschild giraffes at the Nairobi Giraffe Centre. We’ll then depart from Nairobi and head towards the world-famous Masai Mara National Park.
On the way, we’ll take in the views of the magnificent Great Rift Valley and stop for lunch in the town of Narok, before heading to our homely safari bush camp, run by Helen’s long-time friends, Laura & Moses.
In the evening, we’ll enjoy sundowners overlooking the Masai Mara. After dinner, you will have the option to go out for drinks (and dancing) with our safari guides in one of the bars in the nearby township. You won’t find any other tourists here!

From there, we’ll continue to Ikoma, a peaceful area just outside the Serengeti gate. Nestled between the park and local villages, this is the perfect place to unwind before our safari adventure begins. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the pool, soaking up the views of the endless plains, or enjoying a cold drink as the sun dips below the horizon.
You might even spot wildlife wandering near the camp as the sky turns gold and the sounds of the bush come alive.

Day 7: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
After breakfast, we’ll head into the legendary Serengeti National Park for our next safari, venturing deep into its vast, endless plains.

By late afternoon, we’ll arrive at our intimate tented camp, where a warm dinner awaits. As evening settles in, gather in the communal lounge tent to share stories, play a game, or simply relax by the campfire beneath a star-filled sky.
As night falls, drift off to the unmistakable sounds of the African bush – perhaps the distant whoop of hyenas or the low roar of a lion echoing across the plains.

Day 8: Serengeti National Park & Karatu, Tanzania

Inside the crater is filled with animals and if we’re lucky we might see an endangered black rhino or two.

- Expect a wonderful variety of experiences. This journey combines iconic wildlife, meaningful cultural encounters, beautiful landscapes and time to relax on Zanzibar’s beaches, making it the perfect introduction to East Africa.
- Our January and February departures usually coincide with the spectacular wildebeest calving season in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, while our July, August and September departures typically coincide with the Great Migration crossing into the Maasai Mara.

FAQ’s
Are there any visa or entry requirements?
Most people need to get an ETA to visit Kenya – this must be obtained in advance and costs $30.
Most people need a visa to visit Tanzania – this can be obtained prior to travel or at the border. A visa costs $50 for most nationalities and $100 for US citizens.
We will provide all the information you need to apply for these in the pre-departure information we send you upon booking.
Your passport needs to have at least 6 pages free for your stamps/visas and it needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival in each country.
As you are travelling from Kenya into Tanzania, you WILL need a Yellow Fever vaccination (or an exemption certificate from your doctor).
If getting the vaccine, please make sure you have this at least 2 weeks before arrival and you must bring your certificate with you.
How difficult is this trip/what is the physical activity level?
This trip is physically demanding, not so much because of fitness requirements but due to the endurance and robustness needed for African travel.
Expect long, bumpy car rides, early mornings, and hot, dusty days – you’ll need to be ready to handle these challenges!
We’ll also do a hike of easy to medium difficulty to the Materuni waterfall.
This trip is not recommended for anyone with back issues or injuries, as the rough roads on safari and between the Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater can be particularly jarring.
Is there an age limit for this trip?
The minimum age for the trip is 18.
There’s no upper age limit, however, we generally wouldn’t recommend this trip for anyone over the age of 70, given the physically demanding nature of the safaris – think long, bumpy car rides, heat, and early mornings.
But you know your own stamina, so if you are in good health, and are comfortable wth long/bumpy drives and with the backpacker/flashpacker style of travel, plus able to enjoy the company of a diverse age range, then you’re more than welcome to join us!
I get car sick, can I have a front seat in the cars?
As this is a group trip, you will be expected to rotate positions around the car/bus (this is non-negotiable), so we cannot guarantee a seat near the front of the car every day, so please ensure you have adequate travel sickness medication.
Where will we stay?
On this trip, we’ll stay in a mix of accommodations…
- Nairobi: We will stay in a lovely eco camp outside of the city centre. You will stay in ensuite cottages or large ensuite safari tents with comfortable beds.
- Masai Mara: We stay in a bush camp just outside the Masai Mara owned by Helen’s friends Moses and Laura. You will sleep in dome tents with camping stretcher beds (all bedding is provided) and ensuite bathrooms (bucket shower, short drop toilet and sink). There are seperate long drop toilets onsite.
- Lake Victoria/Ikoma: We stay in a comfortable lodge.
- Serengeti: We stay at a lovely camp in the heart of the Serengeti, with spacious tents, comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms.
- Karatu: We stay in a lovely lodge with comfortable rooms and a pool.
- Moshi: We stay at a hotel just outside of Moshi town centre with cosy, air-conditioned rooms and a pool.
- Stone Town: We stay in a traditional Zanzibari hotel, in the heart of the city, close to the shops, restaurants and beach.
- Paje: We stay in a gorgeous hotel right on the beach, with beautiful air-conditioned rooms, a spa and a pool.
If you are travelling solo you will be paired with a same-sex roommate in a twin room. If you are travelling with a friend or partner, you will share a twin room (or double if requested and available).
Can I have a private room?
All of our rooms are booked in advance as twins and the trip price is based on a twin-share basis.
If you would prefer a private room, please let us know. We may be able to accommodate this request, depending on availability and at an additional cost.
Please note that some of our accommodations have limited room availability, so we may not always be able to offer private rooms.
I want to extend my trip, is that possible?
If you arrive in Nairobi early or want to stay in Zanzibar longer, we can book additional accommodation at the hotel for you – subject to availability and extra cost.
If there is no availability or you want to stay somewhere else, we can suggest other places for you to book. You are also free to book your own accommodation elsewhere.
Which airport should I fly into/out of?
Arrival: You should fly into Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). We will have a welcome meeting in the bar of the hotel at 6pm, followed by dinner. So we would suggest that your flight lands before 3pm on arrival day.
Departure: You should fly out of Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ). You can leave Zanzibar any time on departure day. You can also fly out of Dar es Salaam, however we would recommend staying a night in Dar and flying the next day or booking a late flight to allow you enough time to get back to the mainland via ferry or short flight.
Are airport transfers included?
We don’t include airport transfers, however we can arrange these for you and, where possible, we will try to arrange it so that you can share with another group member who is arriving/departing on the same flight.
Transfers from Nairobi Airport to the hotel usually cost around $20 – $25 per car.
Transfers from the hotel to Zanzibar Airport usually cost around $40 per car.
Uber is also an option in Nairobi and is significantly cheaper at around $8 – $14 per car.
How much spending money will I need?
Putting aside all your pre-trip costs and visas, people tend to spend between $400 – $1,000 (usually only at the higher end if they do the hot air balloon over the Masai Mara which costs $450).
How much you spend will depend greatly on how much you drink, how much you shop and what extra activities you choose to do.
What transport do we use?
On this trip, we’ll have a mix of transport.
For the first day in Nairobi, we’ll travel in 2 x 6-seater safari vans with pop-up roofs.
For the safari portion of the trip (Masai Mara to Moshi), we’ll travel in 2 x 6-seater safari cars with pop-up roofs.
For the journeys from Nairobi to the Masai Mara and Moshi to Bagamoyo, and in Zanzibar, we’ll travel in a 24-seater coaster bus.
From Bagamoyo, weather permitting, we’ll take a traditional dhow boat over to Zanzibar. If the weather is not so good, we’ll drive to Dar es Salaam and take the large catamaran ferry from there.
You may also take tuk tuks and taxis for short distances.
What do I need to bring/pack/wear?
Upon booking, we’ll send out comprehensive pre-departure information which lists everything you need to pack for your trip.
Generally, you don’t need any too ‘specialist’ for this trip! There may be some items that you don’t have that you may need/want to invest in – head torch, binoculars etc, but nothing too extreme.
Can I do laundry on the trip?
Most places we stay (except for the Masai Mara) will have a laundry service for a fee.
Sometimes it’s machine wash, other times hand wash. There usually aren’t any self-service washing machines, but you can wash small items in the hotel sink.
You are best to do laundry at locations where we spend 2 nights – Nairobi, Karatu, Moshi, Stone Town or Paje. This will give the laundry chance to dry.
Will I need adapters for my electronics?
Kenya and Tanzania both use British-style “Type G” plugs. If your devices use a different plug type, you’ll need an adapter.
Kenya operates on 240V, while Tanzania uses 230V. Most modern electronics, like phone chargers and laptops, are dual voltage and can handle this range, so you’ll likely only need a plug adapter.
However, if your appliances aren’t compatible with these voltages, you’ll need a voltage converter.
How can I stay online whilst travelling?
You’ll have WiFi at all of our accommodations, though it can be slow and unreliable at times.
If you don’t have an international SIM or eSIM, the best way to stay connected is by purchasing a local SIM card for your phone.
Keep in mind that you’ll need separate SIM cards for Kenya and Tanzania (including Zanzibar).
In Kenya, the main networks are Safaricom and Airtel. In Tanzania, Vodacom and Airtel are predominant, with Zantel and Tigo available in Zanzibar.
Each provider offers various packages based on the length of your stay and your data needs, and topping up is straightforward if you need more data.
To obtain a local SIM card, you’ll need your passport, and your phone must be unlocked by your provider, so be sure to take care of this at least 10 days before your trip.
What meals & drinks are included on the trip?
Your trip includes 16 breakfasts, 9 lunches & 9 dinners. These may be a la carte or a set menu, depending on where we are.
All other meals are on your own account.
Drinks and alcohol are generally not included unless otherwise stated.
Water may be included at some hotels, restaurants and with some activities.
What kinds of food will we have?
We’ll have a variety of food on the trip, including local food and more Western style meals. We will eat in restaurants, our hotels, have street food and some packed lunches.
When we are in more remote areas, or after a long day of driving, we will usually eat at the hotels.
The food choices are not always within our control and may be quite limited in some places.
If you are the type of person who gets hangry, or if you like your home comfort food, or if you have specific dietary requirements (ie. vegan, dairy or gluten free etc) please bring snacks with you – just in case.
There is usually the opportunity to pick up snacks during the trip, but if you want something specific, please bring it with you.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes! If you have an allergy or a strong aversion to a certain food, please let us know beforehand so we can advise the chef.
Please note that we cannot accommodate specific diets like keto, paleo, low carb/high protein etc.
Please be aware that what you say on your booking form is what is communicated to the hotels/activity providers.
So if you decided to be a vegetarian/vegan on the week you filled in your booking form – that’s what we communicate and that’s what you will get.
If your food preferences/requirements change between the time you fill in your booking form and the trip – it is YOUR responsibility to let us know.
We always make sure that our suppliers are aware of any dietary requirements and allergies, however we cannot guarantee that there will not be cross-contamination or traces of allergens.
The understanding of food allergies is not as comprehensive in Africa as it is in some parts of the world – so please check before you eat.
If your allergy is severe, you must travel with an epi-pen. If you are worried about this, please feel free to discuss this with us.
Is this trip for me?
I guess that’s up to you!
We’re hoping you’ve read the above, carefully to get an understanding of what the trip involves and if it’s suitable.
Lots of people love Rock My Adventure tours (see the Testimonial page) and we get tons of repeaters, but they aren’t for everyone, so you need to ensure that you are comfortable with our style of travel and being in a group.
If you’re the type of person who is easily annoyed by other people, likes ultimate luxury, wants everything their way, or wants to be in control all the time, wants a very formal trip or likes to moan a lot/be negative, then this probably isn’t the trip for you! 🙂
If you’re laid-back, fun, a team player, and adventurous – then sign right up!!
You know yourself, so you decide!
