Few places on Earth stir the imagination quite like East Africa. Vast golden savannas stretching to the horizon, snow-capped mountains rising above elephant-filled plains, endless herds of wildebeest and zebra, and some of the most spectacular birdlife on the planet combine to create the quintessential African safari experience.

This unforgettable journey explores the very best of Kenya and Tanzania, from the elephant-rich woodlands of Tarangire and the wildlife-packed floor of the Ngorongoro Crater to the legendary Serengeti, where immense herds roam beneath vast African skies. We continue north into Kenya to experience the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, the forests of Mount Kenya, and the arid wilds of Samburu, home to a remarkable suite of birds and mammals found nowhere else.

Alongside East Africa’s legendary mammals, we will seek out some of the continent’s most charismatic birds. Secretarybirds stalk the grasslands, Southern Ground Hornbills stride purposefully across the savanna, Kori Bustards command the plains, and brilliant Superb Starlings and lovebirds illuminate the acacia woodlands. Wetlands host flamingos, cranes and storks, while the arid bush country produces a dazzling cast of dry-country specialists, including the unforgettable Vulturine Guineafowl and Golden-breasted Starling.

Designed to maximize both birding and wildlife viewing, this tour combines world-class safari destinations, comfortable accommodations and expertly guided exploration. From elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro and predators on the Serengeti plains to Secretarybirds, Southern Ground Hornbills and brilliant Superb Starlings, every day promises memorable encounters in one of the world's great natural theatres.

Join us for an extraordinary adventure through the heart of East Africa, where spectacular birds, iconic mammals and breathtaking landscapes combine to create a safari experience unlike any other.

What our clients say about us

Quinton Paul Josop
MS, Kenya - Highlights 2026

This was our first Rockjumper tour and we had such a good time, we have already booked a second tour. Rockjumper is an incredibly well-organized group and we didn't have any travel or housing-related issues during the entire trip. I'm sure Rockjumper is not the least expensive tour group you can travel with, but in this case I believe you get what you pay for. Our guide Quinton "Paul" Josop was amazing. His knowledge of birds was incredible and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was a lot of fun to travel with. In fact he was such a good guide we chose our second trip specifically because he was also a guide for that trip. We can't wait to travel again!

xHeinz Ortmann
RL, Kenya

Heinz Ortmann was charming and funny, outstanding on the birds and other animals, and excellent in dealing with the logistics. I would be very happy to travel with Heinz again.

Gregory de Klerk
SK - Kenya 2024

Greg de Klerk was a wonderful leader. He knew exactly how to lead this relaxed tour. He always made sure that the needs of everyone in group were being met. He also demonstrated incredible knowledge of both the birds and the animals. I would go anywhere with him on another related tour.

Stephan Lorenz
LVY, Kenya - Mega Birding Tour 2025

This trip was a fantastic experience for me, both as a traveler and as an intermediate birder. Kenya is an extraordinary country to explore, and this itinerary certainly delivered a huge variety of habitats, birds, and landscapes. The days were long, packed, and sometimes demanding, but the rewards were genuinely worth it. One thing I appreciated throughout the tour was how clear it became that the logistics—especially the long hours in the jeep—were simply part of what was needed to make the birding goals possible. In my own line of work, planning and logistics are everything, so I fully understood what was happening behind the scenes. Whenever we had to eat in the vehicle, Stephan always explained honestly why: because there was no smarter alternative if we wanted to reach the planned areas and have the best shot at our targets. And he was right. As for the guiding, Stephan was excellent. He’s tireless in the field, extremely sharp, and incredibly knowledgeable—but what stood out most for me was how approachable he is. As an intermediate birder, I never once felt overlooked or rushed. He taught, explained, and helped me refine my skills without ever making me feel inadequate or behind the group. His patience, clarity, and genuine interest in helping each participant improve made a huge impact on my experience. He was also very receptive to feedback. Whenever we shared observations or suggestions, he didn’t just brush them off; he acknowledged them and showed real appreciation. That kind of attitude goes a long way on a long tour. Regarding the itinerary, while it was certainly comprehensive, I personally feel it might have flowed better in reverse. Starting with the more demanding, longer days and the less captivating sites—and ending with the “wow” locations—would have given the trip a stronger final note. Our last three days felt long and tiring, and they didn’t quite match the excitement of earlier highlights. A reordering could create a more compelling and energizing finish. I also believe that including the Masai Mara would take this tour from excellent to truly iconic. The Mara is one of East Africa’s crown jewels, both for birds and mammals, and we would have happily paid more or added extra days to include it. As part of a “mega” Kenya itinerary, it feels like a natural and very valuable addition. Accommodation-wise, most lodges were very good, some even excellent. A few were more basic but still fine. The main outlier was the Blue Post Hotel, where the rooms we received didn’t reflect what is advertised online. All in all, the experience was memorable, the birding phenomenal, and the group dynamic wonderful. I walked away with new skills, new species, and a renewed appreciation for what such a complex tour takes to run well. I’d happily travel with Rockjumper again—especially if Stephan is leading.
