Emotionally stable, patient and responsible, I will always see a clean and tidy car the next day. If there is any news about animals, he will take us there. There were many unexpected surprises during this trip. Thanks Emmanuel for bringing us happiness, warmth, and inspiration.

Wild Africa, Animal World
5/5

Africa is a magical continent. Just like hundreds of thousands of years ago, animals remain the main characters. When you see thousands upon thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes, and when you encounter lions, cheetahs, and rhinos, you'll be awestruck. Our guide, James, spoke good Chinese and provided attentive service. The lodges and camps we stayed at were also quite unique. My African trip was incredibly exciting!

5/5

Well done Samora! We spent great 6 days, Iddy been taking care about us and our requests from months before our arrival. He create the best safari itinerary for us in more than 2/3 different options and different budgets. Reggie, our Safari guide was the cherry on top! Took us to the best spots, spotted so many animals from far away and give us a lot of explanation about all the species. In addition, all the lodge and tented camp that they booked for us were amazing!

Hi David,

Thank you for such a wonderful review and for recognizing the care that went into your safari from the very beginning. We are delighted to know that your six days with Samora Explorers were such a great experience.

It is especially meaningful to hear that Iddy stayed closely involved with your plans months before your arrival and took the time to create different itinerary and budget options around your preferences. We believe that a great safari begins long before the first game drive, with careful planning and genuine attention to what each guest wants.

And we absolutely love your description of Reggie as the cherry on top. His sharp eye, knowledge of wildlife and ability to find excellent viewing spots clearly made your safari even more memorable. We are also pleased that his explanations gave you a deeper understanding of the many species you encountered.

We are equally happy that the lodges and tented camps exceeded your expectations and added another special element to the journey.

Thank you for choosing Samora Explorers and for recommending us so warmly. Your trust means a great deal to our entire team.

We hope Tanzania will call you back for another adventure someday. Until then, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Karibu tena!

Communication, service, value for money was all great with Samora Explorers. But when you have a driver who takes that extra step. A guide with you, who is an absolute problem solver. Has the knowledge of all the parks. Who doesn't simply drive you around, but leads and knows the area well. That makes the experience very special. His name is Boniface, the champion of the Tanzanian highlands.

Hi Freek,

Thank you for such a powerful review and for calling us your “Safari Champions.” We are truly pleased that you experienced excellent communication, service and value throughout your journey with Samora Explorers.

What makes your words especially meaningful is the way you describe the difference a great guide can make. A safari is not simply about driving through the parks; it is about having someone who understands the terrain, reads the environment, solves problems calmly and knows where to look when wildlife is waiting to be discovered.

We are incredibly proud of Boniface and grateful for your recognition of his dedication, knowledge and problem-solving ability. Knowing that he went the extra mile and made your experience truly special is the kind of feedback that means a lot to our team.

Thank you for trusting Samora Explorers and for recognizing the passion behind what we do.

To Boniface, the “champion of the Tanzanian highlands” — thank you for representing Samora Explorers with such dedication. And to Freek, we hope the wild brings you back to Tanzania for another adventure. Karibu tena!

Samora was great, quick, attentive to our needs and requests
5/5

From booking where we discussed accommodation options to airport pick up and drop offs, everything was done for us to be comfortable and happy. If we wanted to get up early to see lions, it was possible. If we wanted to eat later to have more time in the parks, it was possible. Our guide, Emmanuel, was very knowledgeable on all animals and carried binoculars and a reference book to provide maximum info. I really recommend to travel with Samora
