About us

Let’s travel together

A Tanzanian-owned and operated safari company, based in Arusha at the gateway to the northern parks.

Who we are

Adventure meets authenticity

Rioba Safaris is a tour operator based in Suya, Arusha, specialising in tailor-made safaris, cultural experiences and adventures across Tanzania and East Africa.

We plan private journeys only — your own vehicle, your own guide and a pace that suits you. From a three-day escape out of Zanzibar to a two-week crossing of Kenya and Tanzania, every itinerary starts with a conversation and is shaped around what matters to you.

Because we are local, more of what you spend stays in Tanzania, supporting the guides, drivers, lodges and communities who make each trip special.
