Whatever individual request you have, they do their best to make you happy :)
Great value for money, from beginning to end communication on whatsapp, all tailored to our needs. They helped us with all other things that were even not connected with safari at all (like “we need pharmacy”, “can you help us with simcard in zanzibar” etc :)), Eric is a great guide, accommodation perfect… If we ever go to east africa, then we go with them!

AMAZING! What an incredible experience
We attended a two day safari with Eric as our guide. We cannot say enough about how fantastic Eric was! He was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. We seen a large variety of animals. With a mild mishap with our returning flight, Rioba Safaris employees were attentive, caring, and understanding of our needs and provided excellent alternative arrangements that met our requests. We are 100% satisfied with our adventure and would recommend Rioba Safaris and Eric to anyone! Thanks again from the USA!

Perfect
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience, thanks to our exceptional operator. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine passion for what they do.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and always made sure we felt comfortable and safe. Their ability to spot wildlife and share fascinating insights made every moment exciting and memorable. It was clear that they truly love their work, and that enthusiasm made the entire experience even more special.
The safari itself exceeded all our expectations — well-organized, seamless, and filled with unforgettable moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this operator to anyone looking for a truly remarkable adventure.
Thank you for making our safari so special — we absolutely loved it!

Very responsible and efficient guys
During 3 days we have visited 3 conservation areas – Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Areas and Manyara Lake National Park. The whole safari has been very well organized, smooth, interesting and all experience exceeded our best expectations. Before the trip to Tanzania I have maintained contacts with Rioba Safari through manager Jonas, who was very attentive and kept us informed on every step of the process. Regardless that it was a late evening of Saturday, I have received a response from Rioba manager Jonas 15 min. after I have submitted a request for quotations to safaribooking.com! Jonas even contacted Tanzania’s Immigration Department (this was clearly outside his safari duties) when we had some delays obtaining of electronic Tanzania’s visa. Jonas welcomed us at Arusha airport. Our accommodation in Karatu was also green and perfect with possibility to submerge in refreshing pool after intensive day of safari and very good food. Our guide and driver Hakim was very good in time planning and efficiency. He also was very knowledgeable not only about species, but also was able to answer many of our questions on local customs, political situation and many other subjects beyond animals and birds. Hakim was also aware about protection system, e.g. what the difference between national park and conservation area. Overall – he was not only driver, but very interesting companion for conversation. The last but not the least – Rioba Safari proposed us very good price for 3 days of safari. Whoever I told later the price of our package, all were praising it as a very good deal. So, I highly recommend Rioba Safari and I am sure they will not disappoint you.

We had the most amazing experience with Rioba. The team is super professional, accommodated all our wishes. The car was well equipped, clean and spacious. We visited three locations in 2,5 days, have seen the Big Four - Leopard we didn’t spot but had an incredible experience with Lions super close to our car. Our accommodation was amazing overlooking Lake Manyara.
Could not have wished for a better experience! We highly recommend Rioba.

We had a great experience!
We just returned from a wonderful, tailor-made family safari to Lake Manyara and the Ngoringoro Crater. Jonas Donant handled all the communication. He's very customer-focused and authentic, and he immediately earned our trust when we booked. Our guide, Ernest, was an excellent driver with extensive knowledge and a passion for nature. He gave us a fantastic experience, and we're very grateful for that. We'll be back to visit other parks!

Responsive, attentive, accommodating
These four days will forever be etched in our memories.
We experienced an absolutely extraordinary adventure in the heart of Tanzania, discovering magnificent landscapes and breathtaking wildlife.
From Tarangire National Park, with its majestic scenery and encounters with elephants, to the mythical vastness of Serengeti National Park, every moment was wonderful.
We had the privilege of observing magnificent herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, eland, antelopes, and so many other animals, not forgetting the little ones, like the dik-diks, affectionately nicknamed "McDonald's" by the guides.
Majestic animals like lions, lionesses, cheetahs, leopards, rhinoceroses, ostriches, and more.
The Ngorongoro highlands offered us breathtaking panoramas, before the intense emotion felt in the Ngorongoro Crater, a true natural sanctuary where wildlife expresses itself in all its splendor.
We were incredibly lucky to see almost all the animals in their natural habitat. An immense privilege, which we fully appreciate, as each encounter was magical and precious.
We sincerely hope that everyone will one day have this same opportunity and experience this unique emotion.
If these four days were so magical, it is also—and above all—thanks to our guide, Sifaël.
Through his passion, his kindness, his impressive knowledge, and his deep love for this land, he transformed this trip into a truly human and authentic experience, far beyond a simple safari.

A travel company you can trust
My friend completed his safari in Tanzania with Rioba Safaris in the summer of 2025 and highly recommended the company to me after returning, knowing that I had always wanted to go on a safari. Based on his strong recommendation, I contacted Rioba Safaris and also compared them with several other companies in terms of pricing, itineraries, and overall service. Rioba clearly stood out in every aspect.
They were extremely patient and responded promptly to all my questions. They carefully customized the itinerary according to my requests, and after many rounds of communication, we finalized a plan that perfectly suited my needs. About a week before departure, I didn’t hear from them, which made me feel a bit uneasy at first. However, once I arrived in Tanzania, I realized that everything had been arranged exactly as agreed — smoothly, professionally, and well organized.
During the trip, I sometimes had new ideas or small issues, and they always did their best to help solve them with great care and clear communication. I truly believe the owner is a very trustworthy and responsible person. On the last day of the journey, he personally came to pick us up, which left a very deep impression on me. He is someone who is highly capable of solving problems and ensuring that everything is taken care of properly.
I would confidently recommend Rioba Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Very efficient and flexible in extending our stay. Excellent guide, knowledgeable and great driver
Very reliable and excellent organisation, high quality of lodge and excellent guide. Akim was always ready to satisfy our needs and brought us to the nicest spots to see animals. i would highly recommend Rioba for a safari in Tanzania.
