5 Days Lodge Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Manyara

My Family and l recently returned from a 5-day trip with Rupia Adventure and what fun we had! Every details was taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy the journey. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater. 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 Nico made sure they catered for the kids - no request was too big. Nico 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, Marieta 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 someday 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 country.

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

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.

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

Very amazing experience with Mirage as our driver & tour guide and David as an excellent cook! I can only recommend these two and the Company, which made sure we are safe and get everything we needed throughout the entire tour.

We book 7 days safari with Matt from Rupia adventures which fit the plan to our requests. Our guide was Mirage how have 20 years experience. He was amazing and made us a perfect experience. His knowledge is impressive and he knows so much about the wildlife and landscape, he answered all our questions, and we had a great time thanks to his good vibes. Omari Cook our food which was over our expectations. Thanks Matt, Mirage and Omari for this lifetime experience!!!

The safari had to be cancelled due to corona. Mathias had agreed to refund the deposit. In the meantime, we were asked to send more funds to support and were rewarded with ironic cartoons via WhatsApp as a thank you. Good thing we didn't do that. We've waited 1 year now, but there's been no more feedback from him. Therefore, I can only warn to make advance payments. My trust in Rupia Adventure no longer exists. In the future we will choose a more reputable partner. More information about PM.

After mount Meru trek an Kilimanjaro day hike, we decided to go five days safari to Tarangire, serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara national parks with Rupia Adventure and our guide Nora she was young and very professional, she explained us many information about animals and landscape, our cook David was good and provided us delicious meals, all we were gluten free but David gave us sweet food and excited, we booked with norwegian agent and connect us to Matt at Rupia Adventure, everything were good, the jeep was comfortable have charger system, fridge and open-roof, every parks have own highlights but Ngorongoro was best for us, we saw all big5 in crater leopard, rhino, lion, buffalo and elephant, we highly recommend Rupia Adventure for everyone wanting to travel to Tanzania for safari. Thank you Dorina & Jolanda

I joined a small group via Rupia Adventures, thank you to Matt that it worked so easily and well even during the little-visited Corona period! The safari met all my expectations - we saw so many animals, stayed in great places (very exciting to camp in the middle of the Serengeti) and had a fun time in our jeep. Of course you have to accept some driving times on this tour, but since you always discover animals and drive through great landscapes, it doesn’t matter. Matt was always very easy to reach via WhatsApp and was always interested how I feel and like it. Thank you!

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."
