our friends recommended us to start with mount meru before kilimanjaro we had amazing time on mountain our team were so good

My children and l recently returned from a 3-day trip with Rupia Adventure and what fun we had! Every detail was taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy the journey. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Tarangire was our favourite as we were able to get up close and personal with so many elephants! We stayed in lodges and it was great to cool off by the pool at the end of each day. The food was great and our Guide David made sure they catered for the kids - no request was too big. David was so patient and kind and he was always happy to stop for a toilet break or to find ice cream! When we were making the booking, Jolanda in the office suggested we add a few extra days in Arusha at the end of our safari and I'm so glad we did. We relaxed at our hotel and enjoyed some day tours and booked a day safari in the Arusha National Park. We even got to meet Matt himself as he was at our hotel for a meeting! Thank you Rupia Adventure for the trip of a lifetime! We will be back to explore more of your beautiful parks.

After wedding we booked seven days trek via Machame route, we met with our guides Gideon and Laurent at Mvuli Hotel for pre-clim briefing and gears checkup everything was good, next day we met with all entire crew and transfer to machame gate, everything were so amazing on mountain our cook David and crew were so amazing, we recommend Rupia Adventure for everyone

I would like to thank the Rupia Adventure team for organizing our honeymoon. I’ve never thought that a vacation in Africa could be that comfortable! We were greeted at the airport by a neatly-clothed and well-mannered safari guide, who unobtrusively accompanied us nearly everywhere and told us about Tanzania and wildlife. Champagne and treats awaited us at each and every hotel we visited. Special praise to the safari vehicle - it was spacious, comfortable and new. Also, I’d like to give a special mention to our guide, his name was David, he told a lot of interesting facts about wild animals and the park, while always being tactful and calm. If we ever decide to go to Tanzania again, Rupia Adventure will be our choice! Everything was superb!

After our Tanzanian safaris Rupiaadventures.com especially Matty helped us sort and book our last part of our holiday on zanzibar in a couple of wonderful hotels, golden tulip airport and for the final 5 days we went to TOA hotel and spa, where we were greeted by Sega the hotel manager, and were treated like King and Queen. All staff high quality Directly on the beach 4 pools Food is of great quality.

The safari in Tanzania is simply the best. All the parks are amazing, the environment is perfect to feel the wild life going on right in front of your eyes. Ngorongoro the the highlight. The booking and treatment with Matt were really good from the first contact. I really reccomend it.

The climbing was awesome. The crew was amazing in all aspects, the food was good, the treatment as well. From the first contact with Matt I had all suppport needed. I really reccomend it.

Overall, a very well organized professional experience. Matt, the owner, was incredibly flexible and accommodating when planning the trip. He was very communicative and responsive and helped make this trip stress free. Some notable points - we ended up booking directly with Matt outside of trip advisor, as it enabled a more customized experienced. We stayed in lodges during our safari, but Matt also booked hotels before and after the safari, including rides, to enable easy stays and transfer from Kilimanjaro airport. Pros: Mvuli Lodge was incredible. Beautiful views, highly caring staff, and brand new accommodations. Food and service were both great. Ngorongoro is absolutely worth the trip. Breathtaking in all respects and wildlife everywhere. Cons: Jua Manyara lodge was pretty much a hostel with a private bathroom. Acceptable given the short planning timeline and busy season, but, if at all possible stay at Mvuli Lodge both nights. Minor, but there was some confusion among drivers as we were passed off to several different drivers and guides over the course of three days. It wasn't really a problem, but it did result in some downtime. Recommendations/Expectations: Stay at Mvuli Lodge for as much time as possible. The parks are a couple hours from Arusha, if you stay in town before or after the trip. So when figuring out flights, factor that in. Bring cash. USD or shillings are generally acceptable, but most places don't take card. Plan for some tips, waters, and coffee purchases. We stayed in Mvuli Hotel in Arusha for our bookend stays. It was definitely acceptable, but nothing is reasonably nearby, so expect to just eat at the hotel restaurant and hang in your room. Personally, I would say that Ngorongoro is a must. Lake Manyara and Tarangire were both amazing in their own rights, but I could have went with one and not the other. Instead, if you can get Serengeti into the itinerary, do that. We didn't go, but we came across other travelers that did, and their pictures were incredible.

From the beginning booking with Matt who offered suggestions was willing to accomadate to my request it went so very smoothly. Once on the ground Pendael the guide, driver was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees. He also seemed able to predict which path the animals would take so that I was in a position to view these wonderful animals. Samuel the cook made some delicious meals an and was a source of information about modern African history. Their colleague Silas , in Kenya was also very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I saw the Big 5 and so very much more. The wildebeest migration is a bit overwhelming so many animals. If I ever make it back to Africa I will be traveling with Rupia Adventure. I will recommend them to my friends and any6interested in Safari.

Thank you Rupia Adventure for incredible services, our guide Gideon was good and he know well the mountains and professional first aid user, everything was good

I recently returned from a 5 days safari arranged by Rupia Adventure in Tanzania - the safari covered Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Manyara national parks. Because I had fixed dates and could not change them, I ended up in a one-person safari, which actually worked out fine. I had the guide and the vehicle to myself, which was great. Long story short - I had a great time and would absolutely recommend Rupia Adventure. Two people contributed to taking this trip enjoyable. The first is Jolanda, the consultant who worked with me in setting up the itinerary. She was responsive, easy to work with, and diligent - even though I had some questions about the trip and the various logistics involved, she was absolutely helpful at every point, right up to the point where I left Tanzania to go back home. The second person who made a huge difference was Enock, my guide. Blessed with an upbeat, cheerful, and infectious personality, Enock was absolutely great on the long rides. His ability to spot animals was uncanny, as was his knowledge about the various species of birds and animals on the safari. He made sure things were in order, went out of his way to make things comfortable for me, and helped me gain a whole new perspective on wildlife. Even when we had a minor accident (our vehicle got stuck in a waterhole in Manyara for a while), Enock was there trying his best to get things back on even keel. At no point did I feel unsafe or in danger. He helped me get to another vehicle which brought me back to the lodge, while additional equipment was brought to the site to extract the stuck vehicle. In the bargain, I got to make a couple of new friends in the vehicle that gave me a ride. All other facilities made by the company were great. The lodges were clean, functional, and well-maintained. Actually, a couple of the lodges were rather luxurious, which was not what I expected but was happy to see. The arrangements were made with care, attention to detail, and worked out very nicely for me. All in all, a memorable 5 days in and around Arusha.

From the first conversation with Matt for the trip planning to the last animal sighting with our guide Gerson, Rupia Adventure made this trip, "The Trip of a Lifetime". The game drives, Bush camps, Lodges, cultural tours and knowledge of the animals and the land, nothing could have been better. Food was great, service in all of the camps was wonderful. I would recommend Rupia Adventure to anyone who is looking for a Safari experience that will be talked about for years to come.

Our guide Gerson was professional, he know we'll all parks we visited, Ngorongoro crater was wonderful, landscape is amazing, we stayed at Mvuli mountain lodge it's amazing lodge, the jeep and other services was amazing

We thanks Rupia Adventure for made our dream come true, our guide Emmanuel and other team were friendly from day one to day four, everything were good, highly recommend Rupia Adventure
