- You'll be collected from the airport.
On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be picked by our airport office staff who will support you incase of visa or luggage. Your guide will be waiting at our airport lounge with champagne and a transfer to Arusha where you’ll overnight in a hotel.
Arusha is a city in northern Tanzania and the capital of the Arusha Region. It has a population of 416,442 plus 323,198 in the surrounding Arusha district located below Mount Meru on the eastern edge of the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley. Arusha has a temperate climate.
After breakfast, your guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park for a full day game drive. For lunch, a hot lunch meal will be prepared by your guide. In the afternoon, the game drive continues. Before the sun sets, we will drive you to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
The park is located slightly off the main safari route. Tarangire National Park is a lovely quiet park in Northern Tanzania that is most famous for its elephant migration, birding and quiet authentic safari atmosphere. The majority of travelers to the region either miss out Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours leaving parts of Tarangire virtually untouched
After a great breakfast from your camp, you will depart and drive to Serengeti with a game drive en-route. In the afternoon, your guide will set a beautiful table with a delicious hot lunch meal with soft drinks, tea, coffee or a glass of wine. Afterwards, proceed with a game drive and in the evening, check in to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park is also a World Heritage Site and recently proclaimed a 7th Worldwide Wonder. The Serengeti is famed for its annual migration when some six million hooves pound the open plains as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa. There are great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle.
Today, you will have a morning game drive in the park with a hot lunch meal set up by your guide. Enjoy evening sundowner cocktails also made by your driver and in the evening, get back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
Serengeti National Park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the Big Five named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters. Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with their population at around 1,000.
After breakfast, depart and drive to Ngorongoro with a hot lunch meal served by your driver/guide in the crater. In the evening, drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. It’s about 20km across, 600m deep and 300sq km in area. The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds are usually seen here.
After breakfast, depart for a morning game drive in the park. Late in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha for a dropoff at the airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.
Lake Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. The inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants.
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel then have a full day Stone Town tour and Spice tour. In the evening, drive back to the hotel for your overnight and dinner. On the way, you’ll pass Jozani Forest, the last habitat of the rare endemic red Colobus monkey. With a local guide, you’ll stroll through Jozani Chwaka National Park and look at the rare monkeys. If you wish, you can even wander down the boardwalk to the fascinating Mangrove Ecosystem.
After breakfast in Stone Town, you will be driven to the North Nungwi beach of Zanzibar. Check into the hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.
We have developed a special Spice Tour with in-depth information not only about spices, but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description of their traditional uses in medicine, cosmetics and cooking. After the tour, we’ll invite you for an opulent lunch at our guides’ home, where you can taste the spices and fruits.

MSC2024-05-04 Excellent service and communication, amazing wildlife experience Joseph and his agency provided excellent communication and reliable, honest, service -- and a superb experience watching amazing wildlife. Rioba Safaris is based in Arusha and focuses on the northern circuit, but also provides full service on tours in the south. I booked a four-day package from Dar es Salaam in April 2024, including a day trip to Pugu Hills Nature Forest Reserve and a three-day trip to Mikumi National Park. Joseph arranged my tour perfectly despite very short notice, including some customization based on my schedule and interests. Joseph himself is a very capable wildlife guide, including knowledge of birds. He also arranged for additional guide and safari vehicle services that added a lot of value. Transportation was punctual and smooth, despite a lot of traffic in Dar and slow trucks on the Morogoro Road. The trip to Mikumi from Dar took about 7 hours, but the park made the long drive 100 percent worthwhile. We had magnificent views of the most famous wildlife, plus many birds (including a pair of Verreaux's Eagle-Owls) -- basically nonstop excitement every moment we were in the park. Food and accommodations were very good also. Rioba offers various levels of service, from luxury to budget, depending on client preference. As I understand it, Rioba accepts various modes of payment, including credit card, wire transfer, and Wise. Make sure to ask if your preferred method does not appear on the quote.

An adventure that felt both luxurious and authentic! Voyager049625146562023-10-05 Awesome 11-day honeymoon (mountain, Safari, and beach) My husband and I had a wonderful 11-day honeymoon in Tanzania, including a 3-day Mt. Meru trek, 5 day safari, and 3 days in Stonetown Zanzibar. Joseph was very easy to plan with, and allowed many customizations to fit our desires and budget. He provided hands-on guidance of our trip to ensure we knew our guides before departure, and he checked in on us frequently to ensure our needs were met. 1) Our trek up Mt. Meru was unforgettable. Our chief guide (Kessy) was skillful, knowledgeable, kind, and was always thinking 3-steps ahead to ensure a successful summit. We were beyond impressed! Our porters, assistant guide, and chef ensured our comfort. We are experienced hikers but have never trekked before, and we would 100% do it again. 2) our safari was a dream come true! Our guide (Godfrey) skillfully took us to Tarengire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. We saw the Big 5 and so much more! We were treated like VIPs with delicious food and luxurious accommodations. Godfrey answered every question we had about wildlife and culture, and made us feel comfortable and welcome. He is very skilled at his job, and his experience shows! 3) we asked for only transportation and accommodation in Zanzibar, and Rioba booked us well. Even when traffic caused difficulty getting us to the airport with our original plan, Rioba organized a back-up car and got us to the airport on time!Load more
