Perfect, we saw so many different animals. They told us a lot of interesting facts. Joshua is still very young but doing a great job already. He‘s really an expert in bird watching.

3 day private safari Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was absolutely fine. We saw the big five and a huge number of migrating animals. I highly recommend this tour operator. Thank you very much and we will surely come back in the future.

Amazing Experience whit Rioba Safaris and Denis
4/5

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.

Fast response, flexible, professional and customer oriented.
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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.
