Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be greeted by our local guide who will assist you with customs procedures. You’ll be transferred to your hotel in Arusha, where you can relax and recover from your journey. Enjoy a traditional Tanzanian dinner and get a good night’s sleep to prepare for the adventure ahead.
Experience the ultimate Ngorongoro adventure at The Highlands Lodge. Nestled on the edge of the majestic Olmoti volcano, it seamlessly blends wilderness with contemporary luxury. Explore the rugged beauty of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to diverse wildlife like leopards and elephants. Trek ancient Maasai trails to Olmoti crater’s summit and immerse yourself in Maasai culture. The nearby Ngorongoro Crater offers unforgettable game drives. Indulge in spa treatments, savor delectable cuisine, and delve into local traditions for an unparalleled East African escape.
After breakfast, you’ll travel to Mikumi National Park. The drive takes you through picturesque landscapes and traditional Tanzanian villages. You’ll arrive in time for lunch, and in the afternoon, you’ll embark on a game drive in the park. Keep an eye out for zebras, wildebeest, and impalas, as well as the park’s predators, such as lions and leopards.
After a final morning in the Serengeti, you will be flown out to Rubondo Island Camp on Lake Victoria. Rubondo Island Camp is the only camp on the island, and it overlooks the lake, surrounded by tropical forests. It’s an untouched haven where hippos and crocodiles sunbathe, and chimpanzees and monkeys populate the lush forest canopy.
One of your mornings will be spent setting out with a guide, a researcher, and a ranger to search for chimpanzees and be a part of the Rubondo Island National Park habituation program, a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be some of the first travelers to meet the island chimps.
The island offers a host of activities that include guided nature walks, safari-style game drives, and floating serenely on calm waters in a traditional dhow. Leisure hours are spent in utter relaxation, reclining poolside, or retreating to your private veranda with a chilled bottle of wine being serenaded by the sounds of the forest.
After your final breakfast overlooking Lake Victoria, you will be driven to the airstrip for your morning flight back to Kilimanjaro International Airport to continue your adventures or start heading back home.

MSC2024-05-04Excellent 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.Maswera Safaris2024-04-22The Great Sourthern Experience Great experience from Rioba Safaris,We hade a 10 Days safari to Ruaha,Mikumi and Selous /Nyerere National Park.Everything was well organised from the luxury Accommodations,food,Jeep and the Guide was perfect.I recommend 100%Ivana V2024-04-09Extraordinary Safari experience An extraordinary journey with Rioba Safaris!

An adventure that felt both luxurious and authentic!Voyager049625146562023-10-05Awesome 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
