Best safari in existence
Samora Explorers took care of us beyond anything I could've expected. They were super communicative, answered all our questions before arriving, provided all the services needed (airport transfer, lodging in Arusha), and gave me incredible peace of mind. Ben was the best guide and driver! He drove safely in all conditions, taught us amazing details about the parks and animals, always made sure we were ok, and made it his personal mission to make every day exceptional.
The food was also above and beyond - full meals for lunches plus complimentary wine, beer, and ample water.
We were in the best hands and were given a good chance to relish Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.

Thank you for such an incredibly generous review. We are truly honored to know that Samora Explorers gave you the peace of mind and level of care you were hoping for throughout your Tanzania adventure.
We are especially happy to hear about your experience with Ben. His safe driving, knowledge of the parks and wildlife, and genuine attention to your comfort are exactly what we want our guests to experience. We love that he made it his personal mission to make every day exceptional — that dedication makes a real difference on safari.
We are also delighted that you enjoyed the meals and refreshments. We believe a long day exploring Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro deserves a proper, satisfying lunch, and we are pleased that this added to your overall experience.
From the airport transfer and Arusha accommodation to the days spent in the parks, we are grateful that you felt you were in good hands from beginning to end.
Thank you for trusting Samora Explorers and for recommending us so highly. We hope the memories of Tanzania stay with you for years to come, and we would be delighted to welcome you back for another exceptional safari. Karibu tena!

The only company I'll ever choose for a Safari
This was truly a life changing experience. I don't normally write reviews that are this long, but this experience deserves a full spotlight.
The vehicle:
The safari vehicle is incredibly comfortable. It has about 7 seats and room for luggage. We were only 3 which was nice because we could jump from seat to seat for the view. The seats are comfortable and the vehicles are cleaned each day. The roof opens up for you to be able to get a better view of the incredible things you'll see. There are outlets, cupholders compartments and pockets and many other things to make this your 4 day home. Each day you have a meal at your lodge and then a lunch is packed for you. This tour company packs real delicious food so you sit down to eat rice and meat and vegetables each day.
The guide:
Ben!!! He was the perfect guide- really the best guide I've had on a tour led activity. His knowledge of the animals and their behavior shows just how many years he's spent observing everything. He is fun and treats you like family. He himself has fun on the safari, but he takes safety very seriously so there are difficult patches of road in which he concentrates- a point we really appreciated. He went above and beyond by taking us to places to make our hades, to see viewpoints and even to take care of our endless need for bathroom stops.
The parks
Honestly this Is a must do experience. Many would prefer longer Safari's and it is true that more days in the Serengeti can help you have the chance to see more animals, but we were so happy with the 4 days. It was just long enough to see 4 of the big 5 and a ton of other incredible animals, but it wasn't so long that we got restless being in a car for so many days. The parks will change your life. The facts you learn will give your life more meaning and purpose.
The company:
I spent a long while researching safari companies and finally chose samora explorers for one important reason - I sensed that we would be treated like family. We are three 20 something girls traveling alone and I wanted us to have a safe feeling like we are family. That is why I chose this company and that is exactly how they have treated me: like family. Iddy was so so helpful. After months of communication he never got frustrated. He always went above and beyond researching things and even giving me discounts and reminders. The company is through, family oriented, trustworthy, and so super helpful. There is no other company if rather have my adventure with!!!
Look no further, choose this company!!

Posted on Aug 28, 2026Hi Miah,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and heartfelt review. Your words truly mean the world to us, and we are honored that your experience with Samora Explorers was so meaningful.
We are especially touched by what you shared about feeling safe, cared for and treated like family. Building trust with our guests, especially from the very first conversations before they arrive in Tanzania, is something we take very seriously. Knowing that we gave you the sense of security and personal care you were looking for makes us incredibly proud.
A huge thank you for your wonderful words about Ben. His knowledge, patience, sense of fun and strong commitment to safety are qualities we greatly value. We are glad he made your safari enjoyable while also taking care of all those little details — from finding the best viewpoints to making sure there was always time for those much-needed bathroom stops!.
We are also delighted that you enjoyed our safari vehicles and the freshly prepared lunches. We believe comfort matters during long game drives, and we are happy that the vehicle, daily cleaning and thoughtful features helped make your four-day safari feel like a comfortable home on the road.
And of course, the parks themselves! Seeing four of the Big Five in just four days, along with so many other incredible animals, is a fantastic achievement. More importantly, we love hearing that the experience gave you a deeper appreciation for Tanzania's wildlife and nature.
Finally, thank you for your incredibly kind words about Iddy and our team. Months of communication, planning, questions and adjustments are all part of making a safari truly personal, and we are so happy that you felt supported throughout the process.
“The only company I'll ever choose for a Safari” is an incredible compliment, and we are truly grateful for your trust. Thank you for choosing Samora Explorers and for allowing us to be part of such a special adventure.
We hope this is only the beginning of your Tanzania story. Karibu tena — we will always be happy to welcome you back like family!

Fantastic Experience
If you want an excellent Safari experience, don’t fuss about whether to choose expensive or cheap accommodation, but choose your guide very carefully.
Eman (Emanuel Edwards) is an expert and careful driver, who avoids as many ruts and potholes as possible for our comfort, and an incredible navigator, who can find his way across the plains without so much as a wrong turn. But most importantly, he has a vast knowledge of the animals and birds of Tanzania.
He is calm, patient, kind, considerate and wears a fine snaggletoothed smile. His main concerns are our safety and satisfaction, alongside a preservation of the wonderful areas through which he guides us. He is no high-fiving, foolish, jabbering joker, but a perfectly relaxed, polite gentleman with whom you feel immediately at ease and safe in his hands; very important when you are spending a few days with somebody.
He speaks very good English and seems to instinctively know how much information you want about the animals and birds which he can spot at great distance and with great ease, even when hidden in the bush.
My advice; choose Eman.

Posted on Aug 28, 2026Hi Anthony,
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to know that you had a fantastic safari experience with Samora Explorers.
Your words about Eman (Emanuel Edwards) mean a great deal to us. Safety, comfort, patience and respect for Tanzania’s wildlife are at the heart of what makes a great safari guide, and we are incredibly proud to hear that Eman demonstrated all of these qualities throughout your journey.
His ability to navigate the challenging roads carefully, find his way across the vast plains and spot wildlife and birds from remarkable distances is something our guests truly appreciate. We are also very happy that his calm and considerate personality made you feel relaxed and safe during your time together.
We especially appreciate your observation that a safari is about more than simply choosing accommodation — having the right guide can make all the difference. We couldn't agree more!
Thank you for trusting Samora Explorers and for recommending Eman so highly. We will certainly share your kind words with him; we are sure they will bring a big smile to his face.
We hope the landscapes, wildlife and memories of Tanzania stay with you for many years to come. Karibu tena for another unforgettable adventure!
Friendly, experienxed and service minded
The entire process went very well. From the initial quote to the final hand off at the airport, they have been very service minded doing everything to cater to your needs. We were considering several options in our safari trip and they helped us navigate with their knowledge and local know how. The guide was very experienced and found great spots to see the animals. He talked about the animals how they behave and lots of other fun facts along the game drive.
Overall a great experience and one we can reccommend.
