Incredible Safari Experience
5/5

We booked a 3.5 day safari with Samora explorers and we are extremely happy with our choice. My fiancée and I were looking for a budget option for our first Safari together, and what we got for the price far exceeded our expectations. Everything you could want from a Safari was absolutely perfect, from day 1: the conversation about what the safari would include, the booking and payment process, the pickup from and transfer to the hotel, the accommodation, and, of course, the safari itself. Iddy always instantly responded to my many emails, and was even super flexible with the payment (I paid in multiple different currencies). He was very accommodating with our logistical needs (meeting us late at night at our hotel the evening before the safari for a briefing, making sure we got to the airport both on time and well fed, thanks to a great lunch box).

Our guide and driver Iddy, in just a few days, managed to show us the Big Five and countless other animals, as well as incredible landscapes. He created such a welcoming atmosphere. What I valued in particular was that we always felt a 100% safe, thanks to his driving, his immense knowledge about the wildlife, and the fact that he knows the area extremely well. An added bonus for us was that Iddy speaks German in addition to his perfect English.

There are many safari operators in Tanzania, and while we didn’t have much experience with safaris (I did one in Kenya before), what stood out to us is how kindly Iddy interacts with his staff and other people around him. So for anyone looking to support a local safari operator who treats his people fairly while offering a decent price, Samora Explorers is an excellent choice.

Hi Mario,

Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review!

We’re delighted to know that your 3.5-day safari exceeded your expectations from start to finish. From the planning and booking process to the transfers, accommodation and game drives, it’s wonderful to hear that everything came together smoothly for you and your fiancée.

We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Iddy. His quick communication, flexibility and attention to your logistical needs are all part of the personal service we aim to provide. We’re also happy that his German and English made your experience even more comfortable.

Seeing the Big Five in just a few days, together with the incredible landscapes and countless other animals, must have made the safari truly special! His knowledge of the parks, wildlife and safe driving clearly helped you enjoy every moment with confidence.

We also deeply appreciate what you shared about our local team and the way we treat the people we work with. Supporting our staff and building a respectful working environment is something we believe strongly in.

Thank you for choosing Samora Explorers and for recommending us to other travelers looking for a personal, reliable and locally operated safari experience.

We hope to welcome you and your fiancée back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure. Karibu tena!

Best Regards,
Samora Explorers
