I had an excellent experience with Samora Explorers from the moment I made my booking until the end of the tour. Their communication was prompt, clear, and professional, making the entire planning process easy and stress-free.
The tour was very well organized, and everything ran smoothly according to the itinerary. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing information about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and every detail was handled with care.
What impressed me most was the team’s reliability and commitment to providing a great experience. They were always on time, attentive to our needs, and happy to answer questions throughout the journey. The tour offered excellent value for money, with high-quality service that exceeded my expectations.
I would highly recommend Samora Explorers to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and enjoyable adventure. I would definitely choose them again for my next trip.

Unforgettable Safari with Reginald – A Truly Personalized Experience
We had a truly wonderful safari experience with Samora Explorers. Our guide, Reginald, was exceptional – he communicated with us in detail about the schedule and itinerary every step of the way. Although we are from China and English is not our first language, Reginald made sure we fully understood our daily plans and the animals we encountered. He patiently answered all our questions and always checked that we had grasped his explanations.
The lodges and camps arranged for us were comfortable and exceeded our expectations. During the safari, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and also witnessed a wildebeest river crossing. Since we arrived a bit early in the season, the wildebeest herds in northern Serengeti were still thin, but after listening to our preferences, Reginald went out of his way to track the herds and find the best crossing spots for us. To top it all off, we enjoyed a hot‑air balloon ride – an absolutely fantastic experience.
We highly recommend Samora Explorers for their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their guests. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

We are especially happy to hear how Reginald took the time to make every part of the journey clear and comfortable for you, especially with English not being your first language. His patience, communication and willingness to answer every question are qualities we truly value.
It is wonderful that you experienced so many highlights, from seeing the Big Five to witnessing the wildebeest crossing and enjoying a hot-air balloon flight. We are particularly proud that Reginald listened to your wishes and made the extra effort to track the herds and find the best possible crossing opportunities for you.
We are also pleased that the lodges and camps exceeded your expectations. Every part of the journey matters to us, and your feedback shows us that the care put into the details made a real difference.
Thank you for your strong recommendation of Samora Explorers. We are honored to have been part of such a special adventure and hope Tanzania will welcome you back again in the future.
Thank you, Flynn, for allowing us to turn your safari plans into memories you will always treasure. Karibu tena Tanzania.

A home away from home: thoughtful service and an exceptional safari experience
This was an absolutely unforgettable trip. Unfortunately, our luggage was delayed by the airline upon our arrival in Tanzania. We are incredibly grateful to our guide Reginald, who took careful charge of the issue right away and even stayed up late to help us retrieve our delayed bags — the whole process felt completely reassuring.
Thankfully, we recovered our luggage (which had been left in Ethiopia) before we traveled to the Serengeti. Since our bags held our clothing and camera equipment, this meant our trip was not disrupted at all. We cannot thank him enough for this support.
What’s more, our guide’s outstanding expertise made the game drives truly remarkable. On our very first day, we spotted 4 out of the Big Five — all except rhinos, which are primarily found in the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a fantastic experience!

Posted on Aug 28, 2026Hi Qi,
Thank you for sharing such a meaningful account of your safari with us. We are very happy to know that, despite the unexpected luggage delay, you were able to continue your journey with peace of mind.
We are especially touched by your kind words about Reginald. Going the extra mile for our guests is something we take seriously, and we are glad that his dedication in helping recover your luggage made such a difference. Knowing that your camera equipment and personal belongings were safely with you before heading to the Serengeti must have been a huge relief.
And what an incredible way to begin your safari — four of the Big Five on your very first day! Reginald will be delighted to know that his knowledge and expertise contributed to such an exciting start to your adventure.
Thank you for trusting Samora Explorers and for allowing our team to be there for you when you needed us most. We hope your first safari has left you with memories that will last a lifetime, and we would be honored to welcome you back to Tanzania someday.
Until then, may the spirit of the Serengeti stay with you. Karibu tena!

Diligent, calm, knowledgeable and alert to all the animals… a joy!
I was so excited about this family trip and it didn’t disappoint…. It was the best trip of my life. Emanuel you were a joy to have as our guide. We saw the big five, the ugly five and countless other wonderful creatures in between! The scenery and animals were mesmerizing. You always had an answer for our questions , looked things up for us and also shared with Ellie (daughter)her passion for looking things up in our Wild Africa book. How you managed to track animals so brilliantly and drive the roads safely is very impressive! I loved the picnics you provided (best picnics of hearty cooked food laid out on a lovely tablecloth ) and the evening food and lodgings were great. The only think I wish is that it wasnt over. Thank you so much Emanuel for a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience .

We are especially delighted to hear that Emanuel made the safari such a memorable experience. His calmness, knowledge and incredible ability to spot and track wildlife clearly made a big difference. We love hearing that he also connected with Ellie and encouraged her curiosity about the animals through your Wild Africa book.
Seeing the Big Five, the Ugly Five and countless other creatures is certainly something to remember, but we are equally happy that you enjoyed the scenery, comfortable lodgings and, of course, our safari picnics. We put a lot of care into those meals, so hearing that they were among the highlights of your trip means a lot to us.
Most of all, we are touched to hear that this was the best trip of your life. Thank you for trusting Samora Explorers with such an important family journey and for giving Emanuel the opportunity to be part of it.
We sincerely hope this is not the end of your Tanzania story. There is always another adventure waiting in the wild.
Thank you, Penny, and Karibu tena Tanzania whenever you are ready for your next safari.

Amazing safari, guide and accommodations.
This was a wonderful experience. Our guide Emmanuel was truly second to none. He
was superb and spotting game and a lovely and knowledgeable person. The communication about what we would be doing was excellent. Value for money was superb. Everything about this safari ran like clockwork from the start of the day to the end of the day. The various camps were brilliant. Emmanuel went above and beyond. He really was a fountain of knowledge. I was very sad when it had ended.

Dominic is an extremely experienced and professional guide. He has eyes like an eagle and can spot wildlife in no time. He’s also very responsible and reliable, and such a pleasure to be around.
If you travel to Tanzania, you have to book Dominic. I even downloaded WhatsApp just to stay in touch with him. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again on my next trip!

An absolutely fantastic experience!
Our guide, Regnald, truly made the trip exceptional. His knowledge of the park and the terrain is unmatched—he navigated the rough roads like a pro, ensuring we were always in the right place at the right time. Thanks to his expertise, we successfully completed the "Big 5" challenge! Beyond just spotting the animals, Regnald took the time to explain their behaviors and habits, which gave us a much deeper appreciation for wildlife.
Regarding value for money, this tour exceeded all expectations. The service was top-notch, combining comfort, safety, and adventure perfectly. You can tell this operator values reliability; they delivered exactly what was promised and more. I cannot recommend them highly enough for an authentic safari experience!

His ability to navigate challenging roads while keeping you in the right place at the right time is a valuable part of a successful safari, and we are thrilled that his expertise helped you complete the Big Five challenge.
