          Rupia Adventure We went on this tour. We didn't enjoy the trip to Tanzania one bit because the guide there was a very lazy person. He didn't show us everything and he saved time. He had no knowledge of wildlife and safari. Rupia Adventure I will never think of going on this tour again even if I make a mistake. I warn you all to never travel on this tour. Otherwise your money will be wasted and they take money in advance. So I warn you.

          Overall very good experience
          Very reliable company, everything worked very well from the initial information request through to drop off at hotel after the Mount Meru hike, good mountain guide (Gideon), good cook (Samual), good and friendly porters, good team spirit in the Rupia Adventure team, good and safe driver. Based an my personal experience I would like to recommend Rupia Adventures for hiking Mount Meru.

          We had a great experience hiking up Mount Meru! Our guide, Laurent and the entire crew took great care of us and made sure we made it safely to the summit. The trek was better than we expected and we can really recommend!

          English problems
          My hike was last minute, so it is nice that Rupia Adventure organised it just a day in advance. However, I did not like a few things. The owner gave the focus-on-money impression. Before the hike he suggested the exact amounts of tips for the crew. These were really high as I paid for the hike 800$ already. My guide was technically okay, but spending time with him was difficult. He was not able to speak good English. Did not understand my questions and did not share any stories why other guides were entertaining their clients a lot. There were communication issues. He was not flexible. At the end he told me that actually he does not like to hike Meru... so why to take the offer?

          Awesome Dayhike
          After an incredible 4-day Mount Meru hike with Gideon, we couldn’t resist booking a Kilimanjaro day hike with him. It was another great experience! The day hike offered a breathtaking rainforest and a fantastic taste of Kilimanjaro’s grandeur. I have to admit i lost my camera near the top and only realized it near the foot after a full day of hiking. Gideon literally turned around and ran the whole way back to check for my camera. Our driver who was waiting at the bottom was also helping and made some calls to the top but unfortunately it seems like it got taken. Still i apprechiate all the dedication. If you decide to do this hike, this should definitely be your team!

          Awesome Tour - Awesome Team
          Our 4-day hike up Mount Meru was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide Gideon. Gideon’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the mountain made the trek both informative and enjoyable but he also knew when to give us some space. His careful planning and encouragement ensured a smooth and safe adventure. The pace was perfect and adjusted for my family's fitness. I also have to mention the cook - Samorra made special vegetarian meals just for me so he essentially had twice the work. i felt a bit bad but noone ever complained and im happy they cared about my needs. It was a pleasure to have such tasty and varied food on the trail. I can also recommend Laurent - he was our "co guide". He carried some of the things, supported us on the final ascent and even made us tea.

          We had a wonderful day with Gideon from Rupia and Wolfgang ( a student from guide school). We went through the rain forest , an amazing scenery. A big compliment to Gideon, he is a great guide. He gives everything for his clients. Thank you for this beautiful day.

          A reliable airport transfer
          The airport transfer from Kilimandscharo Airport to our Hotel in Arusha and at the end of the holiday in the other direction worked perfectly. The driver was a nice guy and the car was nearly new. The company is reliable, the schedule was right.

          Very reliable taxi transfer
          A review for a taxi transfer? Good cars, english speeking driver and the morst important topic: punctuality. Our driver was 10 Minitues before the agreed time at the airport and at the end of our Tanzania journey at our hotel. No waiting for the taxi - everthing perfect.

          Nice trip through rain forest.
          Amazing tour to Mandara Hut through rain forest. 900 high meter but easy to hike (not very speep). We booked this tour for our last day of our Tanzania journey at Rupia Adventure because we had 10 days earlier best experiences with Rupia at the 4 day Mt. Meru hiking trip. We were very satisfied with Rupia and we ordered the same guide Gidion because we were thrilled about his guiding and this amazing "friend". Nice trip, a taste of Kili, full day service from Rupia and best guide ever - good combination.

        We were 2 adults who booked a 3 days 2 nights safari just before Christmas.
        This time, the landscape is incredibly beautiful. We had 3 interesting days on safari. We were lucky to end up in the same car as a nice couple and had Norah as our guide. Norah is very knowledgeable and took good care of us and managed to find just about every animal we wanted to see, in so few days. We really recommend Rupia Adventure!

        We did the 3 day safari, staying at the Farm of Dreams Lodge.

        The whole experience was absolutely incredible. We visited Lake Managara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. We managed to see all of the “big 5” animals. It’s an experience we will never forget.

        The Farm of Dreams Lodges were spectacular and the staff were amazing. If you can afford the extra few hundred dollars, I would highly recommend staying there instead of the camping option (which I’m sure is great too).

        Matt from Rupia was great with communication and made planning the trip very easy. Our tour guide, Josef, was a joy to have. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and really took great care of us for the three days. I can’t thank him enough.

        I would 100% recommend booking a safari through Rupia, everything is taken care of for you, including airport transfers, and it makes the whole safari experience completely stress-free.

        Arranged safari with Matthias via WhatsApp very communicative and helpful.
        Came to hotel day before to explain procedure.
        Miraj took us on an amazing Safari unfortunately the kids were sick from before but Miraj took them to Drs beforehand and got them medication he was amazing so patient with the kids and extremely informative
        The safari was brilliant we got to see the Big 5 and had a great jeep adventure on the last day!!
        The accommodation was simple but good.
        Matthias arranged airport transfer the next day at a small charge.
        Would definitely recommend Rupia for a fantastic experience

        Overall I had a great trip with Rupia. Matt and our Guide were very friendly and supportive during my stay. The accommodation we slept in also had every night a performance of locals, which was entertaining. I wished the guide would have told us more about the landscape we drove through and animals we saw. However, he is a very secure driver and drove us to all the great spots, at which enabled us to see many animals. This just as a side note. From my point of view, you could skip Lake Manyara. You will see plenty of animals in both national parks Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Therefore, a 2 day trip is totally sufficient. For solo travelers, speaking French is a plus, as they have many French customers. Please be aware, that the company is kinda new to business and therefore not yet fully organized and setup. #hakuna matata PassingWonders (Travel Blogger)

        My friend and I had the best experience going with rupia for a three day safari.
        We had the absolute BEST guide in Mirage, who made us feel very safe, relaxed and well informed from the beginning. He was so patient with us two silly danish girls, he told us so many valuable things with his great knowledge of wildlife and nature, and he took us around safely (as the great driver he is even on bumpy roads!) and he did his absolute best to give us the best experience of seeing many beautiful sights and animals while still having respect for their privacy in the wild. He went way over the top for us and we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

        The place we stayed was beautiful, we loved the rural tent experience and we had an amazing cook who made us feel full all day long. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

        The safari tour to Tanzania was booked in advance. We flew to Arusha, where our safari guide waited for us with a name plate. He was unfortunately a bit ill, so he organized, to cheange him. At a gas station, our new guide was waiting for us. It was a very good decision, we loved our new guide. And then started for the first national park. In 3 days we were in 3 national parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and last day Lake Manyara. Each National Park is famous for something else, so we selected it to see everything (elephants, giraffes, lions, monkeys, hippo, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, rhinoceros and countless birds). We spent the nights in the same luxury campsite, the Safari Company's own accommodation. The tents are in a huge wooded garden with small winding paths between them. The staff waited us every day with fresh friut juices, and the food was impeccable. Our guide responded immediately to all of our requests, dealt with just us within 3 days, and answered all of our questions. For
        anyone who goes to the other end of the world, it's a sin to miss out a safari tour,it was a lifelong, indescribable experience.

        We booked a short safari (3 days) through Rupia Adventure, and their representative Matt was very helpful in setting up custom portions of our trip. They looked after us from the time we landed in ARK at 3 AM, maybe too well as with the excellent food on safari we were putting on weight, and looking to pitch in to get active! We did the comfy camping, in which we slept on cots in a canvas dome tent. Very comfortable, and it was great to be out where animals could travel by as you slept. Joseph, our guide, had an uncanny ability to know where to find game and spot it, and maintains high standards of conduct with respect to wildlife. He is friendly and knowledgeable, an excellent guide. We had our own cook Salehe, who was a master at putting together delicious and nutritious meals. We saw the big 5, as well as cheetah, hippo, and crocs, wildebeest and zebras migrating and fording rivers, a lion kill right in front of us, and an epic lions vs hyenas confrontation over a kill. A lifetime of experiences in just over a week.

        The 3 parks were mesmerizing. We saw most of the animals and the landscapes, especially at Ngorongoro crater were breathtaking. From the beginning to the end, the service we received from Rupia Adventures was professional and friendly : they did everything they could to make us feel confortable and to be able to enjoy to the max our trip. A special thanks to Erastos our tour guide who was so energectic and to the owner.

        I was traveling solo through Africa and tried to find options to see a range of the noteworthy parks of northeast Tanzania. Rupia offered a perfect package for this. Especially finding something as an individual at a reasonable price was difficult as many companies book private safari. Matt planned everything including lodging and airport transfers. Even helped me store some extra luggage I had before setting out. He grouped me with other travelers which was great to meet others as we set out on the three day safari. Our guide Andrew was incredible and found us all the wildlife as we went through the three parks. He knew every answer to questions and knew the parks like the back of his hand. We had amazing run ins with elephant and lion very close. Will never forget it
