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

Awesome Tour - Awesome Team - Our 4-day hike up Mount Meru was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide Gideon. Gideon’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the mountain made the trek both informative and enjoyable but he also knew when to give us some space. His careful planning and encouragement ensured a smooth and safe adventure. The pace was perfect and adjusted for my family's fitness. I also have to mention the cook - Samorra made special vegetarian meals just for me so he essentially had twice the work. i felt a bit bad but noone ever complained and im happy they cared about my needs. It was a pleasure to have such tasty and varied food on the trail. I can also recommend Laurent - he was our "co guide". He carried some of the things, supported us on the final ascent and even made us tea.

Amazing tour with best team from Rupia Adventure - Very impressive trip with Rupia Adventure. We booked and payed direct from Germany to Rupia for the Mt. Meru Tour. We were a little afraid because of prepaying a lot of money direct to Africa to a little (for us unknown) company. Absolutely unfoundet. This company is absolutely trustworthy! Very fast reaction if you have questions via WhatsApp. An introducing the day bevore our trip started in our Hotel incl. checking of our hiking equipment was done with the complete team together with the Rupia boss Mat. This check makes sense because the Mt. Meru is 4500 m high. Our guide Gidion made this trip to an unforgettable experience for us. He always knew the right hiking speed, had a hot tea available in 4000m hight at night and ran nearly 1000 high meter extra for us to find our forgotten camera at the summit (unbelievable – thank you for that Gidion). He is only present if you need him. He is not alway present at hiking so that you can walk alone or with friends. We needed a guide and no entertainer and Gidion has a perfect feeling for he right measure of presence. The 2‘nd guide (and porter, and waiter) Laurent und the cook Samoa have done their jobs in a perfect way, too. Best food for vegetarian und non vegeterians – thank you guyes for your support. This was the best hiking team we could imagine. We were so satisfied with Rupia and Gidion that we booked a second hiking trip at Kilimanjaro for one day at the end of our Tanzania jouney. Same experience und satisfaction as first trip. One topic eyerybody should know and understnad if you think about a Tansania trip with hiking or safari guiding. You need some money for the tips. For a hiking trip a team exists of the guide, cook, and some porters + a Ranger at Mt. Meru because of animals. We started with 3 members of my family with no more guests in our team. In this case you have to (you should) carry the tips for he complete team on your own. These tips are part of he earnings of the team and this is common in Tanzania and has nothing to do with Rupia. You should calculate several 100 Dollars for that. If you don’t want to pay this tip, you shouldn’t book trips in Tansania. There is no differnt to safary trips and no different to other companies, but hiking is more tip expensive because of he bigger team in comparision to safary. Summary: The little Company Rupia ist trustwoth and has good service. Our team was amazing. We were very satisfied with the service and the complete tour. If you want to have a perfect team ask for Gidion (guide), Laurent (2’nd guide) and Samoa (cook) and than enjoy…

Fantastic mountain tour - The Mt. Meru hike was really a great experience. The summit day was very exhausting. At night and then on the road until early evening (with a longer break in the Saddle Hut depending on how fast you are) The organization and communication (via WhatsApp) worked great. A day before, our equipment was examined again. Our guide Gideon was just fantastic. With a lot of empathy and motivation he took us to the summit. A great person. Our chef Samorra cooked delicious meals. He also specifically addressed our son, who lives almost vegan. Samorra went to great lengths. Laurent, the co guide was always on hand when needed. The service idea is very high , with kindness and good mood we felt very well looked after and comfortable with the whole team. A little tip, find out about the tip beforehand. This was collected by the boss beforehand. Thank you for this incredible and unforgettable adventure.

English problems - My hike was last minute, so it is nice that Rupia Adventure organised it just a day in advance. However, I did not like a few things. The owner gave the focus-on-money impression. Before the hike he suggested the exact amounts of tips for the crew. These were really high as I paid for the hike 800$ already. My guide was technically okay, but spending time with him was difficult. He was not able to speak good English. Did not understand my questions and did not share any stories why other guides were entertaining their clients a lot. There were communication issues. He was not flexible. At the end he told me that actually he does not like to hike Meru... so why to take the offer?
