Our guide Iddy Kimaro enriched our tour with his zoological knowled and wise, adapted organization.
5/5

We did one of the Samora safaris a few years ago, and since then I have been thinking about how to repeat such a wonderful trip. Samora Explorers offers a diverse program of tours, between which it is not so easy to choose - after the first experience you actually want to make them all! The offer ranges from the tourist reception of the natural beauties of the country and insights into the life and culture of the indigenous people, to animal observation for the zoologist (I am one), to the mountain tour to the highest mountain in Africa. All the stops are unique highlights that will not be forgotten. You can experience the Serengeti, where the first modern wildlife film was made that won an Oscar, the Ngorongoro Crater (which for once is not a volcanic crater), the monument at Olduvai Gorge where the oldest human was found, Manyara National Park where the pelicans sit on top of the trees, lakes full of hippos, wild big cats on the hunt and boulders on which they rest ... Sometimes you even still see a black rhino, which has become very rare, and you feel happy about it.
But it is not only what you get to see, you also experience the wonderful way of presentation and personal attention from the staff of Samora Explorers. In our case, it was our guide Iddy Kimaro who enriched our tour with his profound zoological knowledge, as well as with wise, adapted, prudent organization.

Incredible 7 day trekking tour on the Mt. Kilimanjaro with Samora Explorer
5/5

We did the 7 day trekking tour with Samora Explorers on the Rongai Route in April 2023.

The Samora Team did an incredible job on the whole journey. We had so much fun and experienced an unforgettable adventure. 

Also, the guides bring a lot of interesting facts about the flora and fauna at the Mt. Kilimanjaro. Always good communication on and beside the trekking tour. From picking up at the airport, over the daily briefing till to the drop-off at the airport again.

Highly recommended!

Exzellent team that provided an unforgettable experience
5/5

Beginning with Gadieh, our guide, Juma Pili our cook, the whole team were lovely, caring and supportive at any time. The organization was professional and flawless. We were extremely lucky with the weather conditions that day. Ascend at night lit by the full moon, no wind and no clouds on top of Mount Meru and an amazing sunrise with perfect views to Kilimandscharo. Perfect and unforgettable.

Ngorongoro Crater was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
5/5

Iddy, Jr., and Johnny were the best and most knowledgeable guides we could have ever hoped to have. The entire week just kept getting better and better. We were so close to elephants, lions, zebras, and so many more animals. I wish everyone could experience that level of happiness that we had at least once in their lifetimes. Thank you, SAMORA EXPLORERS!!!

Charismatic, knowledgable, trustworthy. A highly recommended guide for an amazing experience.
5/5

Following a recommendation, me and my friends went on our first week-long safari with Iddy. From the first pick-up, I felt incredibly welcomed and in good hands. We took tents for bush camping on a private five-night trip from Arusha through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and back. We were having a blast on our day tours watching the plethora of species, spotting a single leopard or patiently observing a lone lioness feed in the only car around. A cook on our side, which we took from camp to camp, provided us with lunch packages for the day and made sure nothing was missing in the early mornings and and late evenings. Iddy proved great endurance, navigational excellence and high driving skill on the rough and narrow bits. Above all, he entertained and educated us in fluent German. He anwsered our questions without talking through the day, he went in on our wishes but always masterminded the whole tour. His well-maintained equipment and charging in the jeep made the trip a very pleasant experience. I had an amazing time throughout and will definetely return for another adventure with Iddy.
