Fantastic Wildlife safari
Brilliant safari- more than exceeded our expectations. We managed to see the 'Big 5' within 2 days. The safari was well organised from the beginning with a comprehensive briefing. The 6 days were well organised and we were treated to specialised knowledge with a charismatic guide. The acccommodation and food throughout the trip was excellent particularly within the Serengeti. Overall, we would highly recommend Rupia Adventure to anyone who wants a safari experience of a life time!

Ensure the best Safari by booking with Rupia Adventure!
We did a 9 day Tanzanian Safari with Rupia adventure. I wish I could give them more stars!
The two most important things when planning your Safari are 1) the person who helps with the itinerary and 2) your guide. Rupia Adventure did excellent with BOTH of these!
Planning the itinerary: Mathias was great, providing suggestions and information. They provided a list of hotel suggestions, with clear cost differences, and I was then able to research and pick the ones I wanted. He was very patient with my many questions and needs over many months leading up to our trip. We had a few last minute changes and he was very helpful in getting them done. During the Safari, we had NO issues with hotels or accommodations, food, or anything that caused any stress or concern. SEAMLESS! This takes work and planning - thank you Mathias!
The Guide: All I can say is WOW. Mathias took what would have been a good trip and made it OUTSTANDING!
1. Mathias could spot wildlife from VERY far away and while driving. There was more than once that a car in front of us drove past something that Mathias stopped to show us. You know, like a leopard hanging out in a tree. He remembered what we had seen/not seen and knew what we were interested in seeing - so he knew when to stop, when to keep going, where to take us and what to make sure we saw.
2. He was very knowledgeable about everything - educating us on animals, animal behaviors, the parks, the country, politics, the local tribes and culture - you name it. And he was not only patient with our 1000 questions but he encouraged it. We learned so much more than we expected to! He even gave us Swahili lessons!
3. We were very into photography and taking pictures. Mathias made sure to park in the best place for good lighting and composition. He made recommendations on pictures and how to make adjustments to get the right shot. Thanks to him, we took MANY amazing photos and have many great memories!
4. When an animal was on the move, Mathias thought through where the animals were heading and got us aligned just right. We were always in the best position for wildlife viewing, even when we were surrounded by other cars. He got as excited as we did when we found awesome things, he really wanted to show off Africa to us and make sure we saw as much as we could. He promised us babies, and he did not disappoint!
5. The icing on the cake: Mathias is always happy and cheerful, patient and kind, humble and humorous and was a joy to be around for 9 days!
The car was great - the top opened and we spent most of our time standing up looking out. When when the dust was high (often) we could close the windows (and/or the top) and not have as much of an issue. We had 4 in the car (plus Mathias) and it was perfect.
One recommendation: If Rupia offers for you work with a travel agent in your country, decline. The people in Tanzania are much more knowledgeable and can provide better recommendations on your itinerary. Mathias is very responsive.
I had to use a different TO for our Rwanda part of the trip and had a lot of issues, causing a lot of stress. Without a doubt, go with Rupia Adventure and request Mathias BY NAME!

excellent
We recently completed our third safari with Rupia Adventure and are in the process of booking our fourth safari with them. All safaris have been at least two weeks long. We cannot say enough about the absolutely excellent quality of each safari we have taken from beginning to end. Booking a safari by email is very easy. We have worked with Maria for each safari. Maria's communication skills are very good and she works to schedule a safari based on your interests. Tent camps and lodges chosen are always high quality, very comfortable with great food and the best customer service. Miraji is a wonderful guide with amazing knowledge and has made it possible for us to have the best memories of Tanzania. Our safari vehicle for each safari has been well maintained and very comfortable even when traveling the bumpy roads of the Serengeti. We always choose the African Tulip Hotel while in Arusha. This is a five star hotel with each room having a different animal theme and one of our favorite hotels in Tanzania and is owned by Rupia Adventure. Tanzania is a wonderful country with the best wildlife viewing in Africa and very warm, wonderful people. Rupia adventure is the best at showing you all Tanzania has to offer.

Above and Beyond Expectation
With a short amount of time to make arrangements for a safari before volunteering at a hospital in Tanzania, we immediately felt comfortable with Angel and Mathias, the communication and arrangements. We relied on their experience for the best trip for five days and we were not disappointed; we only wish we had more time. Everyone at Rupia Adventure will make you comfortable and do whatever it takes to make your adventure top-notch and unforgettable.
We started in Tarangire National Park and saw an amazing number and variety of animals with the close up experience of a small herd of elephant going around both sides of the Land Cruiser. As we entered the Serengeti National Park, there did not seem to be any wildlife around, but as Humphrey took us further in, it couldn't have been more alive. The number of zebra, gazelle, reed buck, impala, hyena, etc. is amazing. We saw a female lion miss a zebra kill because of a split second hesitation of which of two zebra to take down. A courting male lion was clueless to the pride preparing to take down some zebra approaching, thus he ruined the hunt with a growl to the lioness as she approached the pride. Humphrey saw a leopard (the second of the trip) and as we approached she crouched, and pounced, but missed the rabbit she was after. She spotted a reed buck but was also unable to successfully make a kill. In the Ngorongoro Crater another drama occurred involving a pride of 16 lions, 5 more male lions, buffalo preventing an attack on a lone buffalo, and a group of hyena circling and killing a wart hog all near the hippo pool.
Elasto is an excellent guide and eager to share his knowledge of the animals, the eco-system, and Tanzania while spotting animals and making the whole experience fun. His English is outstanding as he can discuss classes of rock, their formations, and try to confound you with riddles.
Elasto and Mathias went above and beyond to make sure we had accommodations at the end of our safari when communication with people outside their company did not come through. We will be forever grateful to Mathias for his persistence to communicate on our behalf with hospital personnel and shuttling us into town for supplies to make us comfortable as we began our volunteer time. Meredith also helped us connect with Miraji who made three weekend day trips unforgettable as well.

Excellent
The safari experience with Rupia's was excellent and this is clearly a very well run company which gave me confidence to pay via bank transfer to save on the credit card charges. The trip to Tarangire in Feb 12 was a really great experience, the only negative was the fact we never saw Lion's and I later found out that seeing Lion's in Tarangire at certain times of the year was rare - probably should have done my homework. Angel, who I communicated with from Rupia's was really helpful and fast in getting back to me and she helped facilitate a great trip for myself and the 13 strong group I took.
