Good but a long day
Our 2 days safari to lake Navashia and lake Nakuru was wonderful however we were quite surprised of how long we had to wait before we had lunch and also that we had to eat with our tourguide at a random hotel which we were unaware of and ended up being quite a wierd experience. But overall the experience with Arosy safari was good and we absolutely loved our 1 night stay at lake Navashia crescent camp where the staf was nothing short of incredible.

Great!
I did a 6 day tour of Tanzania and loved it! Eli was great - he was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was an issue and his wildlife spotting was amazing. And Kevin's cooking was delicious. I enjoyed camping and having the full experience. I have no complaints about my experience.

Great!
I did a 6 day tour of Kenya and loved it! John Walter was great - he was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was an issue. I stayed in basic accommodation which was clean and provided sufficient amenities. I particularly enjoyed the glamping sites. I have no complaints about my experience.

please come for trip
The internet connection was unstable at times, but the hotel service was excellent and the value for money was quite good. The travel agency was very reliable. Overall, the safari experience was great and we saw the Big Five.

Amazing Experience whit Rioba Safaris and Denis
I contacted Rioba Safaris, and from the very beginning they were extremely helpful and patient while we were planning and deciding on the safari route. Jonas was very informative, kind, and always available to answer my questions.
I was welcomed immediately upon arrival at the airport, and we left straight away for the safari. Denis, our tour guide and driver, was very patient, knowledgeable, and experienced. He was always helpful and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and many other animals. The drives were very smooth and comfortable, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without stress.
I spent seven fantastic days on safari. At the end of the trip, Rioba Safaris also organized the transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport with Jonas in a very comfortable van.
If I return, I would definitely book another safari with Rioba Safaris and Denis.
Points for improvement:
After I paid the deposit, I was informed that some of the hotels were no longer available. This was communicated only after the payment had been made. It may have been due to the fact that it took about one week to organize and finalize the customized tour. Still, availability could have been checked more carefully before requesting the deposit.
That said, suitable alternative hotels were offered, and we were very satisfied with the accommodations in the end.
The only small issue during the safari was that there was just one binocular available, and it was not really suitable — more like a toy than proper safari equipment.
With our tour guide, we spoke both English and German, although the German could be improved.
For these reasons, I am giving 4 stars as an incentive to further improve the service. I hope to give 5 stars next time.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and had a wonderful safari.

Quick response, flexible planning, fine for a budget safari
We had a good experience, very quick and easy communication with the kind office woman Jemimah, flexible planning according to our wishes. Kim and Bonni our guides were very nice. Bit of a mix and match with different people you meet on the way but makes sense as it is a budget safari.

Efficient and very easy
Willy was a great driver, made the 6hr drive from JHB to Hoedspruit effortless and smooth, I could even catch a nap on more than one occasion during the trip
