Very experienced and fun to be around

Together with two friends, I went on a 5-day safari starting on May 7th with Jackpot Safaris. We chose the mid-range option. The safari started immediately on the day we left Shirati, as we drove straight to Serengeti National Park. There, we already saw our first two animals of the Big Five and stayed overnight in a lodge in the middle of the park. The lodge was very luxurious and the staff were extremely friendly.
After a great breakfast, we spent the whole next day in the park and saw many different animals, including lions. After another night in the same lodge, we left early the next morning for Ngorongoro National Park. It was a beautiful drive where we even saw a migration of wildebeest. In Ngorongoro, we again saw many animals, including rhinos and lions.
After the park, we stayed in another very luxurious lodge. The next day, we went to Lake Manyara National Park, where we had what was probably the most beautiful and exciting safari drive. We drove through mud, climbed a very steep hill, and even drove through deep water that reached above the hood of the car.
After that, we travelled towards Tarangire National Park, with another overnight stay in a beautiful lodge along the way. On the last day, we entered Tarangire in search of the final animal of the Big Five. Unfortunately, we did not find the leopard, as they (like rhinos) are very difficult to spot and require a lot of luck. However, we saw many other animals up close, including ostriches, elephants, giraffes, baboons, and impalas.
Overall, the safari was perfectly organized, and our guide Andrew created a safe and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. Jackpot Safaris is definitely recommended if you are looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
Kind regards,

SPECTACULAR - the safari was splendid, all thanks to FARU (nickname of our guide, Francis)
They were super helpful and punctual.
First day was mostly travel, but FRANCIS managed to make the most of every second left and we saw lions, a cheetah, gazelles and much more. Fancis shared with us details about the animals, the herds, distinctive characteristics of the species. He is a living encyclopedia.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - ESPECIALLY WITH FRANCIS AS A GUIDE

A journey of discoveries
From start to finish communications with Rioba Safaris has been excellent. There were so many tour operators to choose from and Rioba proved themselves to be incredibly helpful, reliable and friendly. We were looked after from the very start of our tour day to our return back to Zanzibar. Eric was our guide and was very accommodating, knowledgeable and took the time to give us as much as we could from our overall experience. The guides all work closely together to ensure all park visitors have the best experience whilst in the parks. Our lodge was excellent and the food and hospitality exceeded our expectations. We really thought this would a once in a lifetime experience but now we're already thinking about a trip to the Serengeti. Thank you so much Jonas and Eric for a truly memorable experience.

The lodges, transportation, organization, and overall experience were outstanding. Everything felt smooth, personalized, and memorable. This trip became one of the most special experiences of our lives, especially as a couple.

Greatest tour and wonderful malagasy experience
Lova was super nice and took care of us from the very beginning until the end of the tour. Everything she planned for us was amazing, we saw a lot of different species of lemur and she worked hard so that we could see the ones we really wanted to. The trip to the northern islands was super beautiful, like a dream. All the hotels we were in were fabulous! Lova and Zo explained us many interesting things about Madagascar, it was a tour where we have learnt a lot about Malagasy culture. We would totally recommend this tour to everyone. It has been the best tour that we have ever done. Thanks a lot to Lova and Zo for this experience!

Hello Tanzania
These were truly two of the most beautiful and unforgettable days of our lives. Our safari in Mikumi National Park with Hello Tanzania and Mrs. Sylwia exceeded all of our expectations and will stay in our hearts forever.
Throughout the entire trip we were accompanied by a Maasai guide, Noah (warm greetings to you!), who not only shared stories about his culture, but also made us truly feel the spirit of Tanzania and see life from a completely different perspective. On the first day we visited a Maasai village, where we learned how to make fire using traditional methods, danced together, and discovered the everyday customs and lifestyle of the Maasai people. It was an incredibly authentic, emotional, and positive experience.
In the afternoon we went on a safari drive through Mikumi National Park. Seeing wild animals so close was absolutely breathtaking — giraffes, lions, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, wildebeests, and monkeys in their natural habitat. One of the most magical moments was when a family of elephants walked right next to our vehicle, and a baby elephant gently brushed me with its trunk. It was such an emotional and unforgettable moment. Every second in the park filled us with excitement and admiration for nature.
In the evening we enjoyed a campfire under the stars. The silence of the bush mixed with the sounds of wild animals and the overnight stay in lodges located inside the park created an unforgettable atmosphere. Listening to the sounds of African wildlife during the night was something truly magical.
The most extraordinary experience, however, was the early morning safari at sunrise. There was practically nobody else in the park, which allowed us to fully feel the true wildness and beauty of Africa. Near the hippo pool we were even able to get out of the vehicle and observe the animals from closer distance. After breakfast we continued our safari drive and once again had incredible luck — we saw lions from very close range. It was a moment that literally took our breath away.
Thank you to Hello Tanzania for the perfect organization, wonderful atmosphere, and an experience we will never forget. If anyone dreams of a real safari, authentic emotions, and an unforgettable adventure, we recommend this trip with all our hearts. These are memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. 🦁

Rachel is absolutely quick in her response, helpfull with eye for all details!
We had an absolutely outstanding 3-day safari during a long layover as KLM crew, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly arranged and executed down to the smallest detail.
The organization was seamless and incredibly flexible, which made it ideal for our tight and sometimes unpredictable crew schedule. Communication with Rachel was excellent—she was attentive, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful in making sure everything suited our needs.
A special highlight was our ranger, Martin, who was simply fantastic. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and sharp eye for wildlife made every game drive unforgettable. He truly elevated the entire experience.
The park itself was breathtakingly beautiful, with an incredible variety of wildlife and stunning landscapes. Every moment felt special.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone—especially airline crew on a stopover—looking for a well-organized, flexible, and truly memorable adventure. Absolutely top-class!
