Reliable, friendly, offering great experience
I had a full day Safari to Arusha National Park, including a 2 hours walking safari. We saw buffalos, many giraffes, colobus monkeys, warthogs in a wonderful landscape with Mount Meru in the distance. The packed lunch was delicious and the guide very helpful. Pick up from and drop off at Hotel was punctual Good Landcruiser Safari vehicle. Value for money was good.

Incredible team that will make sure you achieve what you are looking for from the experience.
My partner and I had the most amazing trek with the Rupia team which was well organised by Mathias before the trip, during and at the end! Our guides Frank and Gideon were not only very experienced and knowledgeable, they were amazing company and looked after us thoroughly throughout the 7 day trek. This was also assisted by the incredible porter team who carried us along the way -special shout out needs to go to David who cooked the most amazing fresh food throughout the 7 days and Samora who provided us everything we need, hot drinks, food, snacks and hot water for washing!! There was always a great energy amongst the team and after we made the summit, there was a warm welcome at the end! The Machame trail was spectacular, challenging and rewarding and we couldn’t have done it without Rupia! Asante Asana !

Our tour operator was informative and hospitable.
I highly recommend Rupia! My sister and I went on a 3 day safari and had an amazing experience.
The communication with Matt throughout the planning process helped me to feel confident and at ease. Our guide was helpful, informative and hospitable. I am so grateful we landed on Rupia for our Safari experience!

Tour operator with unreliable equipment and trust issues
Having booked a family safari trip, we were provided with a malfunctioning vehicle. Indeed, the first thing we did after being picked up at the hotel in Arusha was to go to the mechanic to fix the gear....a full morning lost...shameful and not professional at all to be greeted with a non-conforming car...
Afterwards, when accessing Manyara Park, we were informed that the entrance was blocked due to severe rain. This is understandable. What is not acceptable is that Rupia kept the USD300 of the ticket entrance and, until today, did not return the money....shameful and again not professional...
I definitely not recommend Rupia and, in particular, found that Matt did not honour his word.
Bad omens for a tourism business...

Great
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. Everything was really professional!
The trek was better than we expected and we can really recommend!

Very good safari
We did the safari with 2 couples of friends in Spanish and we had an incredible experience. Our guide Prince was attentive to everything and explained everything we saw. In addition, our cook Omare prepared a delicious meal for all of us. As for the price, it was quite good.
