Wonderful, Most Amazing Tour Operator - We had booked a safari of 4 months with this local firm Rupia Adventure. What a wonderfull week we had. Thanks to Matt and our guide Miraji. Miraji knows a lot of all the plants and animals in de national parks we visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, Lake Manyara and Arusha park. Miraji is een safe driver and is very focused on the wishes of the costumer. The arrangements and hotels were wonderfull en really exiting. Our trips during the day well organised and a day after the last trip we already missed Miraji and all the knowledge he learned jn the 3 years that he went to school to learn about the parks.
And we were really surprised bij Matt with a special room, champagne, wine and cake because Miraji had heard that we will be married for fourty years in november. Het overheard that en Matt arrangend it all. Good coffee and other presents on the other days.. We can really recommend Rupia Adventure as a company to arrange your safari trip

Family Safari - My trip with Rupia Adventure was excellent , 5 stars from start to finish. From being collected from the airport to being dropped off 6 days later our guide David was brilliant , very knowledgeable and always happy to offer advice, like a member of our family for 6 days.
Matt himself met us at the start and end of the safari to ensure all was ok , this was very reassuring and what a nice man to meet.
Again a brilliant service during the booking process , we were a little nervous booking direct with the operator, rest assured all was fine, we asked many questions, all were answered promptly, we even managed a WhatsApp call. The vehicle was well equipped, Wi-Fi, charge points , binoculars, cold drinks , including beer and wine.
We stayed in 3 lodges and 1 hotel twice, Mvuli Hotel, Farm of Dreams Lodge, Angata Luxury Tented Camp,Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge , all excellent with very good facilities, my favourite being the Angata , felt very connected to the animals, staff were also excellent. All the food and facilities during the safari was excellent, the lunch boxes very good , we never went hungry or thirsty. Credit to Matt and the team they made sure we got our first choice lodges. Onto the safari, well where can I start, our guide David ensured we got to see as many animals as possible, lions. , leopards, cheetahs with cubs, elephants, hippos, crocodile, giraffes, zebra, rino, snakes, buffalo and many more.
The guide was key to this being a memorable experience, he had excellent knowledge of wildlife and how to navigate the terrain. The highlight a pride of lions with a buffalo kill. Many of these experiences made me feel quite emotional and made great memories for my family to share together forever. On day 6 we decided to go to Materuni waterfall near Kilimanjaro, an excellent trip , some steep terrain but worthwhile when you reach the waterfall, lunch in the village and coffee making all part of the trip, really good experience. Beautiful view of Kilimanjaro .
I can’t put into words how I would rate this experience, 20 out of 10 for sure , I would certainly recommend Rupia Adventure, they went above and beyond to make sure this was a trip of a lifetime. Would do it all again.

Amazing experience, Fair Price - Me and my girlfriend couldn't stay more than 4 days and they were really flexible to adjust to our schedule needs. They came to pick us up from the airport and arranged us to stay at a decent hotel, next morning they came to pick us up to start the safari trip. Then we met our guide (and driver). He was a good company and a real safari expert, not to mention his off-road driver skills! A personal cook was with us for the entire trip. Fresh, simple and heathy food for every meal of the day ( we made other tourists groups jealous while they were having lunch with sandwiches). Very nice and kind person as well. We loved him. The safari was an amazing experience. Words can't describe. Every night we were staying in a different location, mostly camping. Don't expect luxury, on the contrary, conditions were really spartan. Expect to be constantly covered in dust like never in your life. They sent a driver to pick us up and took us to the airport perfectly on time. Overall an amazing experience at a fair price. Totally recommended

Excellent Joining Safari - We had booked a 5 day safari with Rupia Adventure and had a fantastic time.Our driver/ guide was very knowledgeable, lots of fun, punctual and in one word fantastic. As you are spending so much time with your guide, it is important there is a click and you have someone who can adapt to all kinds of situations and people. We certainly were not disappointed in that area.
The whole family was actually sad saying goodbye to him.
The entire booking process with Rupia has also been a pleasure, they are very responsive, helpful and professional.
To than find that their professionalism is also replicated in real life was a relief, the entire safari tour was flawless and extremely well organised.
We would certainly recommend Rupia Adventure if you are seeking the right partner to organise your safari in Tanzania."

Safari of life - Right from the time we first contacted Fabiola at Rupia Adventure everything was handeled in a prompt and professional manner. Joseph our tour guide was the best. We had many laughs and many animal sightings on our safari. He is very good at what he does and all the drivers work together to give their guests the best experience possible. You should be proud of the tours you give. The tent camps were very well managed and the service from everyone was ecceptional. The wild life is amazing and right at the side of the road. It felt like being in a Nat. Geo. program. The abudance of wild life is almost hard to comprehend but there they are. Had one of the best times of our lives thanks to every one at Rupia Adventure.
