This is a reliable travel agency
5/5

This is a very interesting journey. Rioba's service is very good, the hotel we booked is also very good, and the driver Steven is also a very responsible driver. It was a very pleasant journey.

5/5

Rioba and our guide Baraka were absolutely amazing! We had high hopes for our trip, but they were exceeded from the moment we got here! Accommodation was all nice, we saw so many animals, and had such a blast. If you book a safari, I would highly recommend Rioba and Baraka!! You will have the trip of your life!

very good
5/5

This trip to Tanzania was very good. The communication in the early stage was very smooth, and the agency during the trip would also care about our situation. Our guide Baraka is very humorous and enthusiastic, and the introduction of animals is also very professional. We love him so much and miss him very much.

Amazing, we saw all the Big 5 and the Wildabeest criossing.
5/5

It was a great trip, Abdi and Steve were great guides. They showed us everything we wanted to see and helped us get around town in Arusha. We had amazing wildlife sightings, food, cultural experiences, and nice accommodations for a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

Rioba Safaris is professional, patient and thoughtful.
5/5

Rioba safaris is professional, patient and thoughtful. As he mentioned in our conversation, he 100% secured our safety and our money. I arranged a trip for total 6 people and all best friends, I feel pressured when I selected tour agency. Hence, I got lots of questions before I decided to sign the contract. Rioba is always patient to my questions and quoted us 5 times for different plans. Also, he responded really fast to whatever our questions are. After the quoted price, we didnot spend 1 single dollar except the souvenirs and tips. He covered all.
Additionally, our tour guide Baraka is excellent. He is knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and with eyes of eagle. He always can help us find the best location based on his 7 years experience. And see the animals that we barely can see in the grass. We were the one of first cars that saw the migration on Mara river from Tanzania side for this dry season.
We spent such an amazing time in East Africa. Rioba and Baraka will be my surely choice if I would come to Africa again. Thank you guys so much.

Rioba is the best
5/5

Our group of six traveled with Rioba for a 10-day tour, and the experience was absolutely incredible! From the moment they picked us up at the airport, to hotel arrangements, daily itineraries, and all meals—everything was perfectly organized. Rioba’s service was exceptional, and their attention to detail made us feel truly cared for throughout the trip. Best of all, their prices were incredibly reasonable!

Every day brought unforgettable wildlife sightings, making it my dream African safari come true. Without a doubt, Rioba is my favorite tour guide company in Africa—highly recommended for anyone seeking an amazing adventure.

Responsible, friendly, a very good organizer
5/5

Joseph is really awesome. He helped us plan the whole journey and everything went well in Tanzania. We decided to change our plan in the middle of our trip, he helped us make it and booked another tent with a fair price. He is so caring and responsible. We really appreciate everything he has done.

Well organized
4/5

Abdi and Steve were exceptional safari guides—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Abdi’s calm expertise and Steve’s sharp eye made the game drive unforgettable. They worked seamlessly as a team, blending education, adventure, and a lot of fun. From tracking elephants, lions, etc.. , they made the experience feel both personal and magical. Highly recommended!

It’s unique experience and unforgettable
5/5

The overall price of this travel agency is not expensive, and the service attitude is very good. Abdilah was responsible for picking us up from the airport to the hotel, and was waiting outside the airport before the flight arrived. David was responsible for the 4-day safari itinerary. David was very professional. He had to drive more than 8 hours a day and was also responsible for finding animals. He would give detailed introductions after finding them. He also helped us find local "medicine" when we had diarrhea during the safari. Accommodation is an experience away from the city. Due to the poor signal of the accommodation, we adjusted our work and rest schedule and got closer to nature. To be honest, it is very different from what I imagined Africa to be. There are many beautiful places in Tanzania, and the scenery is like Australia and New Zealand. Some places in the city are poorer, and women will carry more than 20kg of goods on their heads, which is amazing. The African experience is very unique.
