The best from start to finish
5/5

Absolutely phenomenal safari experience. Every detail was handled professionally, the itinerary was spot-on, and the entire trip was unforgettable. Massive shout out to our guide, Daniel—this guy knows his stuff. Sharp, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife and the land. He didn’t just drive us around—he told stories, spotted animals nobody else could see, and made the whole thing feel alive. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re booking this tour and you get Daniel, consider yourself lucky. 10/10, we’re already planning the next trip.

It’s unique experience and unforgettable
5/5

The overall price of this travel agency is not expensive, and the service attitude is very good. Abdilah was responsible for picking us up from the airport to the hotel, and was waiting outside the airport before the flight arrived. David was responsible for the 4-day safari itinerary. David was very professional. He had to drive more than 8 hours a day and was also responsible for finding animals. He would give detailed introductions after finding them. He also helped us find local "medicine" when we had diarrhea during the safari. Accommodation is an experience away from the city. Due to the poor signal of the accommodation, we adjusted our work and rest schedule and got closer to nature. To be honest, it is very different from what I imagined Africa to be. There are many beautiful places in Tanzania, and the scenery is like Australia and New Zealand. Some places in the city are poorer, and women will carry more than 20kg of goods on their heads, which is amazing. The African experience is very unique.

Rioba is the best
5/5

Our group of six traveled with Rioba for a 10-day tour, and the experience was absolutely incredible! From the moment they picked us up at the airport, to hotel arrangements, daily itineraries, and all meals—everything was perfectly organized. Rioba’s service was exceptional, and their attention to detail made us feel truly cared for throughout the trip. Best of all, their prices were incredibly reasonable!

Every day brought unforgettable wildlife sightings, making it my dream African safari come true. Without a doubt, Rioba is my favorite tour guide company in Africa—highly recommended for anyone seeking an amazing adventure.

Rioba Safaris is professional, patient and thoughtful.
5/5

Rioba safaris is professional, patient and thoughtful. As he mentioned in our conversation, he 100% secured our safety and our money. I arranged a trip for total 6 people and all best friends, I feel pressured when I selected tour agency. Hence, I got lots of questions before I decided to sign the contract. Rioba is always patient to my questions and quoted us 5 times for different plans. Also, he responded really fast to whatever our questions are. After the quoted price, we didnot spend 1 single dollar except the souvenirs and tips. He covered all.
Additionally, our tour guide Baraka is excellent. He is knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and with eyes of eagle. He always can help us find the best location based on his 7 years experience. And see the animals that we barely can see in the grass. We were the one of first cars that saw the migration on Mara river from Tanzania side for this dry season.
We spent such an amazing time in East Africa. Rioba and Baraka will be my surely choice if I would come to Africa again. Thank you guys so much.

5/5

It was a great trip, Abdi and Steve were great guides. They showed us everything we wanted to see and helped us get around town in Arusha. We had amazing wildlife sightings, food, cultural experiences, and nice accommodations for a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

A sincere and reliable Safari agency that makes me an unforgetable Tanzania travel.
5/5

I chose Rioba from among many travel agencies not only because of their reasonable prices, but also because the communication with him was very pleasant. He could quickly understand my needs and provide me with a satisfactory plan. The Safari guide David he recommended for me was very professional, with 19 years of Safari experience. Most of the accommodations he recommended were also good. It was a great experience for my first Safari trip. I really recommend this travel agency.

Communicating with Rioba Safaris was always pleasant and also fast responding, they are very helpful to explain and help you with everything you need.
Our safari experience was wonderful, our guide responded to all our questions - also really helpful.
Even the lunch they pack for you at the national park was to my surprise tasty and diverse.

It's great. It makes my trip smooth and enjoyable.
5/5

The communication in the early stage was very smooth, he provided me with a lot of help and suggestions, and replied to the information in time. He has been helping me in all aspects before the trip. In Safari, the guide Steve is super nice and has rich experience. He has taken us to see a lot of animals. Thank you very much. My Chinese guide Alexander is a very cute and hard-working young man. His company made my trip easier and smoother. Thank you very much for Rioba's safari trip!
