Great company and amazing tour Guide
My wife, best friend and I booked an 8 night private safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara with Rupia Adventure. We had an amazing time and would HIGHLY recommend this company. Specifically, our tour guide Elasto made a great trip into one we will never forget.
Planning: Booking a safari tour in Africa from the Nepal is a lot harder than your standard vacation. There seem to be close to a hundred or more tour companies and unfortunately bad actors among them. We almost decided to cancel our entire trip because we had such a bad experience wiring money to another fraudulent company before finding Rupia Adventure. Janniken at Rupia Adventure was great to work with. Prompt, friendly and gave us helpful suggestions in preparing our itinerary. We are also amateur photographers, so she made sure we had the right equipment in our vehicle and a guide knowledgeable for this type of trip. We priced the same semi-luxury itinerary with several other companies and Rupia Adventure was the most competitive.
Safari: I'm in my late 30s and being on safari for me brought back the excitement I felt being a kid in Disney. We were the first ones out of the camp and the last ones back in every day. Every morning we felt excited about the adventure our guide Elasto would take us on that day. He was not only an expert at spotting animals, but also in knowing their behaviors and anticipating their movements. He helped us set up countless epic shots with his understanding of light and shooting angles. His passion for nature was evident and his knowledge of the country, parks and wildlife was impeccable. Most importantly he was always an absolute pleasure to be around. We considered ourselves supremely lucky to have drawn him.
Thank you Elasto and thank you Rupia Adventure! Hope to be back as soon as possible!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Tobie Faith Gordon
Amazing wildlife - both quantity and variety. Guides not particularly interested in birds. They would drive right by a fish eagle to see the upmteenth lioness

Amazing views of Mt Kilimanjaro. However game was scarce and area was swampy. Very high mosquito bite eating.

Best range of Africa safari experiences
This is my first time to safari in Kenya although I’ve done in Namibia, SA, and Botswana before. In other countries I seemed to have a choice of exclusively high end organizers or almost exclusively backpacker trips. In Kenya I found a mix of both.
One thing that was really special about Kenya was being able to see tribal, nomadic culture. Masai in the Masai Mara is well known. But I also went to Samburu and Lake Turkana and got a chance to observe authentic nomadic cultures. These areas don’t have great tourist infrastructure but the opportunity is unique and really worth it.
