Excellent companion
Mr. Iddy, the tour operator was prompt and his suggestions were pretty useful to finalize the tour. Price seems to be competitive with other tour operators. Should have handled accommodation in Ndutu better.
Our tour guide Reggie was fabulous. He was punctual, well-behaved, knowledgeable, sharp eyed and accommodative. Spoke fluent English and clear communications.
We were quite lucky to sight the Big 5, Ugly 5 and various animals, especially Cheetahs, . We were able to spot Lions every single day of our tour.
Would definitely book a tour again with Mr. Iddy and Reggie. Highly recommended.

We are especially happy to hear that you would choose Iddy and Reggie again for your next safari.

Amazing Trip with a Great Company (Locally Owned by a Safari Guide)
We inquired with multiple operators about a 2 day safari and a 3 day Meru climb (with some nights before and after at a local Arusha hotel). Out of all the responses Samora's was by far the most comprehensive and was very fairly priced. Iddy, the owner and a safari guide himself, was wonderful at communication, helped us prepare for this complicated trip, and personally picked us up at the airport in Arusha and brought us to his wonderful eco-lodge just outside the city where we stayed before, between, and after our expeditions. The accommodation was lovely (they have 3 adorable bungalows in the rainforest on a hill by the river) and the food was first class, each meal was freshly prepared for us Baraka, the chef, with local organic ingredients and taking into account any food allergies and preferences.
Our 2 day safari was amazing. We saw way more than we expected, our guide was fantastic, and our picnic lunches (prepared by Samora) were some of the best food we had in our entire 4 weeks in Tanzania. The Meru hike was expertly led, again with surprisingly amazing food, tons of support staff (porters, chef, guides, ranger, etc.). It was exhausting and I was a crybaby but that was no fault of theirs. We did make it to the summit for sunrise!
We were very impressed with Samora and cannot recommend them highly enough. You will also be hiring a locally owned company started by a safari guide and his other guide friends, so you will get warm personal treatment, and will be supporting the local Tanzanian economy more than if you booked with a giant international safari or tour company.

It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the safari, our picnic lunches, and the support during your Meru climb. And congratulations on reaching the summit for sunrise! That is a fantastic achievement!

Wonderful experience
Everything was perfect, communicating with Iddy was easy and fluid since the beginning, we are so happy with the hotels, the food (we really appreciate that we had good meals and not just boxes with cold sandwiches), the game drives.. We had a really good time with Regi, he was really the perfect guide and he did his best so that we have an amazing experience! He is so passionate about nature and we learned a lot with him..
So thank you for everything!

The masters of safari
Our tour guide Henry is the super professional. He was rich in knowledge, experience, and based on his understanding of animal habits, he made our tour perfect. Thanks to his dedication, we could see the Big Five and the hunting scene despite the heavy rain. His ability to spot animals and induce animals to close positions is fantastic. He is perfect in every way as a safari guide, including knowledge, explanation, driving skills, and service. Highly recommended.
Iddy planned our tour and actively supported whenever we need. Thanks to his efforts, we could enjoy and finalize the tour without any difficulty.
I would definitely book a tour again with Henry and Iddy in another season.

3 days of breathtaking safari tours with dreamguide Adrian
We were with our German -language guide Adrian on Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Krater and the Tarangire Park. The tours were excellently organized, there was a good selection of drinks and always a warm, delicious lunch. Adrian has an incredible eye to see the animals so that there was almost no wish left. We thank our great guide Adrian for the breathtaking safari tours. We always felt safe and in good hands. At any time with Samora safari and the dream guide Adrian.

Thank you Tanzanian people for environmental protection and animal protection
Thanks to the Tanzanian people for their environmental protection and animal protection, I had a wonderful animal-hunting trip.
I came to Serengeti National Park. It made me feel familiar and surprised. I grew up watching animal world TV programs. These animals are familiar and strange.
Thanks to the company for giving me a wonderful animal-hunting trip
