5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!
5/5

Let's start from the beginning. The trip was organized at the last minute, a few days before departure. We had only a few days available and the goal was clear: to see the great migration. In a couple of days, I sent requests to several tour operators, specifying dates, budget, and wishes. Rioba Safaris was the one that immediately understood what we were looking for, and in 24 hours, via WhatsApp, we finalized everything. Four nights: one in Ngorongoro, one in the Central Serengeti, two in the Northern Serengeti (near the Mara River) with a flyout to Arusha from the Kogatende airstrip. Mid-range budget. Private tour, meaning a car and guide just for us. A 30% deposit, with the balance due at the start of the safari in Arusha. In Tanzania, they use a sort of local PayPal if you want to use a credit card. Very convenient and easy, they send you a link where you enter the amount and card details. Instant. And that's the previous part at the beginning. We met at our hotel in Arusha (booked independently) early in the morning, paid the balance, and off we went, the safari began. We were assigned a young guide, Pancras, with whom we immediately connected. Simply fantastic; despite his young age, he proved to be a highly skilled guide, experienced, and knowledgeable. Perhaps also due to a great deal of luck, but in four days we were able to see everything and more, amassing hours of footage and hundreds of photographs. Among the highlights were a lioness with her cubs, a cheetah eating a gazelle, two river crossings, both of enormous size, a leopard hunting an impala, eagles, and so on. In short, it was every inch the best National Geographic documentary. The accommodations we chose were all truly excellent, and even small setbacks like a flat tire proved to be an opportunity to interact and get to know the local communities. In short, I can only thank Rioba Safaris and its guide, Pancras. A truly wonderful choice.

An unforgettable birthday safari with Rioba
5/5

We booked a one-day safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire with Rioba Safaris as a family of four (two adults and two children) to celebrate my 40th birthday, and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic.

From the moment we booked, Joseph took care of every detail and his communication was excellent. He kept in touch via WhatsApp before the trip, checked that we'd arrived safely in Zanzibar, reminded us of our collection time and made sure we always knew exactly what was happening. Everything was incredibly well organised, which made such a difference when fitting a safari into just one day.

When we arrived in Arusha, I was greeted with a huge bouquet of flowers for my birthday, which was such a lovely and unexpected touch. Then at lunch, they surprised me again with a gorgeous birthday cake! The lunch itself was also delicious and far exceeded what we had expected from a safari lunch.

Our driver and guide, David, was brilliant. He was friendly, knowledgeable and particularly great with our very inquisitive eight-year-old, patiently answering all of her questions. He also worked incredibly hard to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible in the relatively short time we had in Tarangire.

And we saw so much! Zebras and wildebeest coming down to the watering hole, huge numbers of elephants including lots of babies, giraffes, sleeping lions, warthogs, monkeys, ostriches and more. Seeing so many elephants in particular was incredible.
Our only regret is that we didn't have longer! The day gave us a real taste for safari and we're already hoping to come back for a longer trip in the future. When we do, Rioba will absolutely be the first people we contact to help us plan it.

Thank you to Joseph, David and the whole Rioba team for making my 40th birthday safari such a special and unforgettable experience.

Excellent
5/5

Our group comprised two retired couples (age 68 to 76) from Canada. Donant was promptly responsive and answered all questions and made sure that all our needs were accomodated. Two of us are vegetarian and we were looked after food wise. Our tour guide & driver in Tanzania, Abu Prince was fantastic. We saw five National parks: Tarangire, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Abus spent driving and taking us around for six days. He is extremely knowledgable about the geography, topography, ecological systems in each park, birds, animlas, their behaviours and migration patterns. He was able to clearly explain many of these things ahead of time before our visit to each park, so we knew exactly what to expect and what to see. We saw all animals in their natural habitats. Abu had a keen eye and knew where the animals would be, and constatly communicated with other tour guides to spot and see animals. We saw lots of girrafs, zebras, wilderbeasts, all kinds of antelops, birds, vultures, elephants, and importantly several lion prides. We also managed to see the Marra River crossing by wilderbeests, and it was amazing scene. Staying in tents for three nights was also an amazing experience where we could hear animals at night. These tents are quite comfortable with mosquito nets, hot and cold water and toilets. We were apprehensive about staying in such structures, but it is a quite safe, comfortable and once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also visited Amboselli National Park in Kenya and stayed in a lodge which was also similar experience as we had in Tanzania. We would stronly recommend Rioba if you are planning to go for Safari in Tanzania. They will be able to accomodate all of your needs and advise you what to do and how to go about it.

Perfect organized tour without any problems
5/5

We arranged a 3-day safari tour through Rioba Safari. We are absolutely thrilled with everything—from the trip from the hotel to the lodge to the guides and taxi drivers, the accommodations, and all the staff and people we met.
It was the most amazing experience of our lives. We saw lots of animals and learned a great deal about the culture. Thanks to Rioba, Goodluck, Shedrack, Maria, Dorkas, and Peter, and to the boat safari guys.

Amazing service and an even better experience
5/5

Really good value for money within the mid-range group. David is an amazing and talented safari guide. Joseph really makes sure that you have everything you need.
