GREAT
The overall experience of this Tanzania Safari was very good, and the whole journey was full of gains. Highly recommended. Our driver and guide, Dominica, is professional and attentive, familiar with the terrain of the protected areas, and always helps us find wildlife. He drives steadily, safely, and explains animal habits. He knows how to take care of our photography needs and waits patiently without rushing to travel. Along the way, you can see the grasslands and diverse creatures, and immerse yourself in the grandeur of East Africa's nature. Thanks to Dominica, the whole trip was smooth and memorable. I would choose to come back if I had the chance. It was worth it.

A safari is about more than simply seeing animals — it is about taking time to observe, listen, learn and appreciate the wild. We are so pleased that Dominica helped you experience Tanzania in such a special way.
Thank you for highly recommending Samora Explorers and for trusting us with your very first safari. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Tanzania whenever the opportunity comes!

The Great Migration is a top-tier natural wonder of the Earth, and I sincerely admire the ongoing animal conservation efforts in this land.
Sound reserve management, strict tourist regulations, and persistent anti-poaching operations have protected the animal migration routes. Tourists are required to maintain a safe distance, refrain from making noise, and not chase the wildlife, minimizing disturbance. Guides possess professional knowledge.
Ecotourism drives conservation while also considering local community development, creating a virtuous cycle.
To witness millions of creatures freely moving and completing their life-or-death migration is inseparable from the dedication of countless guardians. All things have a spirit; respecting life and protecting the wilderness is the most precious meaning of this journey.

Our safari guide Ally was absolutely phenomenal throughout our entire trip in Tanzania! As a male guide, he was incredibly enthusiastic, thoughtful and attentive to every single detail of our journey. Ally paid close attention to all our wishes and made sure we got sightings of every animal on our must-see list, from the Big Five to rare species we’d hoped to spot. His passion for wildlife and patient, warm service made our safari experience far more memorable than we could have imagined. We couldn’t ask for a more caring and professional guide, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ally to anyone visiting Tanzania.

A great guide does much more than drive through the wilderness. They create moments, share knowledge, understand their guests and help turn a safari into a story that will be remembered for years. We are very proud that Ally gave you that kind of experience.
We will definitely share your wonderful words with Ally. We are sure your appreciation will mean a great deal to him and inspire him to continue doing what he loves.

Our guide and driver in Tanzania, Ally, was truly exceptional,he is simply an incredibly good driver and an outstanding guide. His knowledge of wildlife and plants is remarkable, and his professionalism made the entire journey smooth and unforgettable.
He is also extremely kind, patient, and thoughtful. He always checked in with us, listened carefully to our preferences, and tailored every part of the trip to match our interests perfectly.
What really made a difference was how dedicated he was during game drives,Ally would actively help us find the best angles to observe animals and always made sure we had the best possible views. He also helped us take photos, making sure we captured those special moments beautifully.
When I got injured, he even went out of his way to take me to different pharmacies to find what I needed, which showed how caring and responsible he truly is. He is sincere, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around.
Ally is an amazing person and an exceptional guide. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him. Wishing him all the best and many more opportunities ahead,he truly deserves it.

Samora Explorer is a totally reliable local operator. All land arrangements were well organized and the itinerary ran smoothly.
We were incredibly lucky to have Emma as our guide. He is calm, gentle and considerate, always flexible to adjust our plans and keeps the car spotless every morning.
Emma has an amazing eagle eye for wildlife. He knows the whole savanna like the back of his hand and waits patiently for perfect viewing spots. Thanks to him, we saw all Big Five and witnessed the stunning Mara River crossing. Our safari trip totally exceeded expectations, we highly recommend Samora Explorer!

The whole process was very comfortable and there were no big mistakes.
The cost performance is okay. I have seen a lot of animals. 🤩The guide Emma has always found a good camera position for us to shoot. I highly recommend him! 👍👍I can speak some simple Chinese.

Our guide Reginald is quiet and reserved, yet extremely dedicated and attentive throughout the safari. He successfully helped us spot all the Big Five. We also witnessed an amazing wildebeest river crossing over the Mara River with an incredible viewing position, thanks to him.
It would be perfect if he could share more information about the animals and landscape along the way. Overall, we had an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Reginald!

Amazing experience in Tanzania!
For my 18th birthday, I got to choose my dream trip: Tanzania! We (me and my family) went on a 10-day safari, followed by 3 days in Zanzibar. In one word, it was AMAZING. We booked our trip with Samora Explorers and I am so incredibly happy that we did. Everything was perfectly organized, met all of my expectations, and actually exceeded them.
A special thank you to our guide, Reggie. He is truly the best guide ever! He went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience, and over those days, he became a true friend to us.
The service from Samora Explorers is also outstanding: if you have any questions or issues, they are always ready to help and immediately look for a solution together with you. They truly made my dream trip come true, and I appreciate that so much. I highly recommend them to everyone!
