Wonderful 3-Days Safari - We booked a 3-day trip with Rupia Adventure in June and then in September we went on a safari, our guide Pendael was very experienced and a host of all the parks we visited, we started at Lake Manyara, this park is green, many animals like monkeys and lions climbing on trees, it is also a very peaceful park with plenty of food for animals, the second day was the Ngorongoro Crater with beautiful scenery and interesting is like a paradise for many animals including rhinos, and the last day was Tarangire Park with many large elephants and it also has an open area it is easy to see many animals, the food was very tasty, Farm Of Dreams Lodge and Mvuli Lodge were very nice and quiet, the vehicle was good and comfortable, we would like to give our sincere congratulations to Jolanda, the organizer of our wonderful and unforgettable lifetime safari

Excellent in every way. Product, service and communication. Thank you - We had an unforgettable experience with Rupia Adventure... From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and true Tanzanian hospitality. Our guide Simon was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, local culture, and the best spots for game viewing. Thanks to him, we were able to spot the Big Five and so much more... The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, fridge, charger system and open roof, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced offering adventure, relaxation, and cultural insights. The accommodations arranged by Rupia Adventure Mvuli Lodge were excellent, with breathtaking views and exceptional service. If you're looking for a seamless, exciting, and well organized safari in Tanzania, Rupia Adventure is a top choice. Highly recommended for every one.......

Amazing Three-Day Safari Experience - Amazing Three-Day Safari Experience I recently went on a three-day safari with Rupia Adventure, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park.

A professional experience that made our Tanzania Safaris easy and smooth - 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.

Good safari - 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.
