Our driver will pick you up from your Hotel in Arusha, with picnic lunch en route to a full day Ngorongoro Crater tour. You will be taken 2000ft down the crater by a 4wheel drive vehicle, explore the crater before ascending and drive to your Lodge set on a crater rim. The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater is a main drawcard for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is home of Ngorongoro Crater. It was formed some 2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity, and was initially thought to be higher than Tanzania’s famous Kilimanjaro. The crater has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. The crater is actually a caldera, measures 22.5 km’s across and the rim walls stand 600m high. Views from within and from the rim are breathtaking. The crater houses 30,000 animals and a large variety of birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water through wet and dry seasons. In the evening, back to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Rise early to the symphony of the African bush and enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting out on a full-day game drive across the Serengeti plains. Your expert guide will navigate through the vast grasslands, woodlands, and kopjes, in search of the migrating herds and the predators that follow in their wake. Keep your camera ready as you encounter an incredible array of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, and more. In the evening, return to your accommodation for a delicious dinner and a chance to relax under the starlit sky.
After breakfast at the Camp, depart with your picnic lunch for a game drive and to view the great migration.
Serengeti national Park -Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however from August to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note – to actually find a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.
After breakfast, enjoy a full day of game dive at the Mara River viewing the great migration river crossing. In the evening, back to the camp for the evening bonfire, dinner and overnight.
River crossings at Kogatende start to occur every day in August as the mega herd settles into the area. From August to October, game viewing up here is superb with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses. It is not uncommon to see different herds crossing in different directions on the same day.
As your Serengeti Great Migration Safari comes to an end, savor a final game drive through the park, bidding farewell to the wildlife and landscapes that have captured your heart. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred back to the Kogatende Airstrip or your flight to Arusha. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to Kilimanjaro airport for your home flight.

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
