  • Amazing Safari with very Professional Team I recently did a Three day safari with Diba Adventures to Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro. This was the best trip of our stay in Arusha. We had an excellent team with us ( Basso) who's knowledge and expertise of the area was of great value and very educational. The safari cars were absolutely clean and all amenities included for our day safari. I would recommend Diba Adventures to anyone thinking of doing a safari in Arusha.
