A Amazing 8 day Safari trip with Charles
We would like to highly recommend Charles (and his trainee, Pumba) our safari guide, whose professionalism and warmth made our entire Tanzania experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, communication during the planning and booking process was smooth, clear, and responsive. Every question we had was answered promptly, and we felt confident and well-informed before even landing.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome that immediately made us feel at ease. Charles & Pumba's hospitality set the tone for the trip, and from the first moment, we knew we were in great hands.
Throughout the safari, the depth of their knowledge about wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was nothing short of remarkable. They shared fascinating insights, spotted animals we never would have seen on our own, and added rich detail to every part of the journey. His passion, respect for nature, and attention to our comfort made all the difference.
We can’t imagine a better guide, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

A fanatic safari through Uganda and Tanzania
We loved our safari with Mega Wild. Anne was very responsive in our initial planning and with any questions we had along the way.
Both of our guides - Dalson in Uganda and David in Tanzania - were highly knowledgeable and helped to make sure we saw as many animals as possible.
Would highly recommend Mega Wild to anyone looking to book a safari.

Very responsive, accommodating and heartwarming.
We had to make last-minute travel plans to Kenya and contacted Stephen with only one week left before our expected arrival.
He responded extremely quickly, secured accommodation at the peak of the Great Migration (n.b., they were all clean and well maintained), and planned our trip so we could fit in all our preferences (i.e., visit Amboseli, Naivasha, and Maasai Mara and do the boat safari and balloon safari — btw, this is a must-do activity which I strongly recommend). He even pushed back when we tried to remove Nakuru from the itinerary and insisted we visit — we ended up going and had an amazing experience seeing active lions up close and even white rhinos from a distance!! We were also lucky enough to see a group of flamingos too.
All this was possible because of our incredible guide/driver Tom. He always made us feel safe and was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He was flexible on our requests to visit the Giraffe Centre when we were in Nairobi and always made sure we were happy. Our biggest highlight was being able to see the river crossing of wildebeests at Maasai Mara. Tom managed to pick a spot where we got a front-row view from his experience (he used to be stationed at Maasai Mara and knew the place inside out).
We were extremely happy with the services provided and strongly recommend this operator! Happy gaming!!

My recent trip to Ethiopia was nothing short of extraordinary. I had the opportunity to explore the Danakil Depression and the Omo Valley.
The Danakil Depression with its salt plains, Dallol with neon yellow and green sulfur fields, the area felt like a scene from Mars.
Hiking to Erta Ale was a highlight. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable and made us feel safe throughout the trip. Other members of the team made sure we have enough drinking water, food and mattress even in such remote conditions.
Omo Valley region is home to some of Africa’s ethnic tribes, where we visited the Mursi, Karo, and Dassanech peoples. Our local guide ensured that our visits were respectful.
This Ethiopia trip is one of the most unique travel experiences I’ve ever had. It’s not a luxury destination – but it is unforgettable and deeply enriching.
I would recommend it for any adventurous travelers. Mr Sun from Essence Ethiopia Tours had organised our trip very well from start to finish. Thumbs-up to Mr Sun 😊

Amazing safari with Alwin!
What can we say about our safari? It was amazing, astonishing and adventurous expericence with our guide Alwin.
We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuro and Amboseli and we didn't expect so much wildlife. Alwin knows his way around the reserves and parks and he really enables close but respectful encounters with the animals. This was amazing! Alwin also knew every answer to the endless questions of my husband. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, hippos, different kinds of birds and antelopes and more. It was an unforgettable experience and we would highly recommend the safari with Alwin!!

Amazing Safari
My Family and l recently returned from a 5-day trip with Rupia Adventure and what fun we had! Every details was taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy the journey. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire was our favourite as we were able to get up close and personal with so many elephants! We stayed in lodges and it was great to cool off by the pool at the end of each day. The food was great and our Guide Nico made sure they catered for the kids - no request was too big. Nico was so patient and kind and he was always happy to stop for a toilet break or to find ice cream When we were making the booking, Marieta in the office suggested we add a few extra days in Arusha at the end of our safari and I'm so glad we did. We relaxed at our hotel and enjoyed someday tours and booked a day safari in the Arusha National Park. We even got to meet Matt himself as he was at our hotel for a meeting!
Thank you Rupia Adventure for the trip of a lifetime! We will be back to explore more of your beautiful country.

You will have a hard time finding your next vacation...
Even though it was not my first time going on safari, Obedi and the team made me feel like I've never been there before. Every day brought a new wow moment - from lions crossing the road right in front of us, to cheetahs feeding and to stinky hippos hahah. Obedi is an incredible guide: knowledgeable, funny, truly passionate about wildlife and the land, a very skilled driver and most importantly a kind man that we will forever see as a dear friend. Throughout the journey we felt safe, taken care of and completely immersed in the experience. If you're heading to Tanzania and want the best experience of safari which feels personal, exciting, and full of heart – go with Obedi. You won't regret it!
