Gombe and Mahale chimpanzee trekking
Dear Joseph and the Rioba Safari team,Thank you so much for organizing our fantastic once-in-a-lifetime Gombe and Mahale chimpanzee trekking experience. From the very beginning until the end of our trip, communication with Joseph was always fast, easy, and professional.A special thank you to Joseph for tracking our international flight arrival in the middle of the night to ensure that we would make our domestic connection. We are also incredibly grateful for your help in monitoring the arrival of our delayed luggage and keeping us informed throughout the process.Although this was already our third visit to Tanzania, it was certainly one of our most memorable trips. We have no doubt that if we return for a fourth time, Rioba Safari will be our first choice to organize our journey again.Highly recommended!Thank you for everything!

Rioba was absolutely wonderful- incredibly helpful, caring, and supportive throughout our entire tr
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Rioba Safaris from start to finish. Communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the planning process and during the trip itself.
The entire safari was very well organized, and whenever we needed any help or had a question, the team was always available and supportive. Everything felt thoughtfully planned, from the accommodations and transfers to the overall safari experience. We especially appreciated how attentive and reliable the team was throughout the journey — it gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We visited some incredible places, stayed at beautiful camps and lodges, and had so many memorable wildlife experiences. Our driver-guide- Hakeem, Francis, Soi, and Jacob were also excellent- knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible experience.
Considering the quality of the arrangements, service, accommodations, and personalized support, we felt the trip offered very good value for money. What stood out most to us was the personal care and assistance throughout the entire journey. It never felt like we were just another booking.
We are extremely happy that we chose Rioba Safaris and would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so smooth, special, and memorable.

Everything perfect
Choosing among the many safari agencies on SafariBookings was not easy, but in the end we decided to go with Rioba Safari and we couldn’t have made a better choice!
We organized everything via WhatsApp, and the response times were incredibly fast. They arranged a fantastic 2-day safari in Mikumi National Park for us, tailoring the whole experience to our needs and offering a very fair price.
The accommodation they booked for us was also absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special.
They also took care of booking our train and flight tickets and organized all our transfers and transportation, paying attention to every little detail. Everything was perfectly planned and ran smoothly from start to finish.
We had an amazing experience and would absolutely recommend Rioba Safari to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and friendly safari agency.
Thank you so much for this fantastic experience! 🐘❤️

5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!
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
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.
