Great deal
At first moment Ruben was helping me searching for a good acommodation during the dates we were available. Our honeymoon was perfect, he booked for us the flights, the transfers from Nelspruit and the Umkumbe bush lodge. Easy to speak with him and he catch your needs at the moment. Amazing experience. Will come back for sure.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Johannesburg: A Tour with Thomas
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a tour of the Lion Park and Soweto with Thomas as my guide, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we set off, Thomas's passion for his work and his deep knowledge of the areas we visited shone through.
Our journey began at the Lion Park, where Thomas ensured that I arrived in plenty of time for the two-hour tour. The highlight of the Lion Park was undoubtedly the lion feeding, an exhilarating experience that allowed me to witness these majestic creatures up close.
After the adventure at the Lion Park, we headed to Soweto, one of South Africa's most iconic townships. Thomas's knowledge of Soweto is truly unmatched. He shared compelling stories about the history, culture, and struggles of the people who live there. His ability to weave personal anecdotes and historical context made the tour feel intimate and engaging. I learned about the significance of landmarks such as Vilakazi Street, where both Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu once lived, and the impact of the Soweto Uprising on South Africa's fight for freedom.
Thomas was not only informative but also incredibly personable. He encouraged questions and discussions, and his enthusiasm for the rich culture of Soweto was infectious which enhanced my understanding of the vibrant community.
Moreover, Thomas was attentive to my needs throughout the tour. His professionalism and warmth made the experience feel less like a tour and more like a day spent with a knowledgeable friend.
In summary, my tour with Thomas was a remarkable journey through the heart of Johannesburg, combining the thrill of the Lion Park with the rich history of Soweto. His expertise, engaging storytelling, and genuine care for his guests made this tour a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend Thomas as a guide for anyone looking to explore the beauty and complexity of Johannesburg and its surroundings.

Experienced, friendly, excellent!
A long-overdue review!
Huge thanks to Joseph for arranging this incredible trip for us! I highly recommend Rioba Safari!
First of all, Joseph provided me with ten different quotes during the planning process, each accompanied by a detailed price breakdown. After comparing, I found their pricing to be very fair, with no hidden fees, and incredibly cost-effective—much more affordable than many other agencies!
Secondly, the itinerary was arranged perfectly to meet all my requirements. On the day of our arrival, they even gifted us personalized cups, which was such a thoughtful gesture!
Lastly, our guide, Daniel, was incredibly professional. He has a great personality, excellent driving skills, and rich experience. Thanks to him, we witnessed the Great Migration twice! The vehicle Rioba provided was also in outstanding condition.
A heartfelt thank you to Rioba Safari for giving us an unforgettable African adventure. I will cherish this memory for a lifetime!

Truly Amazing Memories!
We would absolutely recommend Amazing Memories to anyone going on a safari. There are a number of companies to choose from, and we had done a lot of research, and I’m so grateful we went with this company! From the beginning of our contact with Amazing Memories all through our actual safari, we had such a great experience! Communication was excellent, Anne in particular in the office was so helpful in answering questions and creating the personalized itinerary for our 2 week private safari to Kenya and Tanzania. Any issues with the booking were promptly handled, and we felt really well cared for - they went over and above and we didn’t have to worry about anything once we got there.
We also can’t recommend our driver in Kenya enough. Francis was the utmost professional: he is a safe driver, respectful and knowledgeable of the animals, and took such great care of all of our needs. It was a true joy being with him for 8 days, and we were sad to say goodbye.
All of the lodging options were also incredible. It was great to have options to choose from in advance, and we absolutely loved the quality and service of the camps and lodges that were suggested. The lodging really added to our experience, and we would highly recommend most of the places we stayed. We particularly recommend:
Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli
Flamingo Hill Tent Camp in Lake Nakuru
Sarova Mara Game Camp in Maasai Mara
Serengeti Serena Lodge
Tarangire Simba Tented Lodge
And most importantly, our safari experience was absolutely magical! This company’s name is spot on creating amazing memories. Every single day there was something very special that we saw and experienced. The extra add ons with the hippo boat ride, nature walk, hot anir balloon ride, and bush flight to save time were all perfect suggestions. We are both so grateful for this trip and will never forget all that we experienced. Thank you Amazing Memories!

Fun
Definitely worth the money! I had a great experience and got to see a lot of animals. I wish we could have had a more detailed schedule before the safari so I would have known how to pack better, other than that I have no complaints!! I would really recommend this to everyone who is considering going!!

Absolutely amazing!!
This intinery could not have been better planned out, and our guide could not have been more educational, kind and went out of his way to make sure we had the most amazing honeymoon. Shoutout Libes !(arsenals top fan).
He really is so clever, the way he finds the animals for you especially when he knows you want to see it desperately. He knows so much about them too!
All of our lodges were also amazing, can not thank everyone enough.
The itinerary captured Tanzania perfectly. The Serengeti especially was our favourite
