Fantastic experience
We had an amazing 5-day safari experience! Everything was very well organized — from the beautiful lodges to the incredible game drives. Our driver Emanuel was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more special. We got to see all the animal we hoped for. Highly recommended!

Professional operator with all included!
Great Communication, very professional. Had to change from 7 to 6 people after deposits was paid but they deduected the extra payment from the remained.
Very happy with our tour guide, Emanuel, he had good knowledge about the animals, was very friendly, professional and a safe driver(!).
Food on the tour was great! Proper meals every time, also the lunches. Alot of operators only has a simple lunch box.
All lodges were nice, and to be honest I think the tented camp in Serengeti «Harmony lodge» was a real highlight! Looks brand new and super friendly personel. Sleep with tousands of animals just outside the camp. 10/10. Super clean with a hot shower.
Also the Suricata Boma lodge is a good one, really nice pool area, great bungalows and restaurant. Feels like a 4 star hotel
We were a group of six norwegians. I’ll do it again in a short time for sure.
We went here in

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your safari with Samora Explorers. We are very pleased to know that you found our communication professional and that we were able to handle the change in your group size smoothly, including adjusting the remaining payment accordingly.
We are especially grateful for your kind words about Emanuel. His knowledge of wildlife, friendly personality, professionalism and safe driving are qualities we value greatly. We will certainly share your appreciation with him.
It is also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the food throughout the safari. We believe that good meals are an important part of the experience, especially after a long day exploring the parks, so we are happy that both the main meals and lunches met your expectations.
Your comments about Harmony Safari Camp and Suricata Boma Lodge are greatly appreciated as well. We are delighted that Harmony was such a highlight, particularly the unique experience of sleeping surrounded by the sounds of the Serengeti.
Thank you to you and the other five Norwegian travelers for choosing Samora Explorers. We are thrilled to hear that you would do it all again.
We will be ready to welcome you back whenever you are ready for your next Tanzanian adventure. Until then, we hope the memories of your safari continue to inspire you. Karibu tena!

Thank you for sharing such a great review. We are delighted to hear that you and your group had such a fantastic time with Samora Explorers.
We are especially happy to hear your appreciation for Emanuel. His sharp eye, experience and dedication to finding wildlife clearly made a big difference. Spotting eight rhinos is an incredible highlight, and witnessing lions mating made the safari even more memorable.
And yes, we are very glad you mentioned the lunch. We believe a safari lunch should be more than just a quick meal in a box, which is why we take pride in serving freshly prepared, proper meals during the day whenever possible. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed them so much.
Thank you for choosing Samora Explorers and for recommending us. Your kind words about Emanuel and our service mean a lot to the whole team.
We hope to see you back in Tanzania for another unforgettable safari, with even more incredible wildlife encounters waiting for you. Karibu tena!

It was simply amazing!
We had the best safari we could have hoped for. The owner Iddy was really great from the beginning, nothing was too much for him. During the safari our tour guide Reggie was the best! He showed us the most amazing places and we saw so many beautiful animals. He has great knowledge and he really wanted to make sure we had the best time possible, and we had! Could not have asked for more. The accommodations were really great as well!

Perfect safari that will stay as a warm memory for us forever!
We had a wonderful time. All of the different parks had something special to offer. We went to Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. We saw so many animals and achieved the big 5! The accommodations were all lovely. Last but certainly not least our tour guide Reggie was an absolute gem! With his great smile, his expertise and patience he guided us to all the animals we wanted to see! Ask for him if you book for sure. Also great thanks to Iddy, the owner who made sure everything was perfect beforehand. 100% would recommend!

Samora Explorers was very thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire process!
We had a great tour that was organized by Samora Explorers and our guide, Reggie, played a huge role in our experience. He was easy to talk to, answered all questions we had and was genuinely fun to be around. Reggie truly became a friend to us by the end of our safari. I would absolutely recommend booking a safari through Samora Explorers and even requesting Reggie as your guide!

Posted on Aug 28, 2026Hi Kristina,
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review and for highlighting the care you experienced throughout the planning and safari itself. We are delighted to know that our communication and responsiveness made the entire process comfortable and straightforward for you.
We are especially happy to hear about your experience with Reggie. A safari guide does much more than navigate the parks and spot wildlife; creating a relaxed atmosphere, answering questions and connecting with guests is what can turn a great safari into a truly personal experience.
It means a lot to us that, by the end of your journey, Reggie felt more like a friend than simply your guide. We will certainly share your kind words with him.
Thank you for recommending Samora Explorers and for suggesting Reggie to future travelers. Your trust and support are sincerely appreciated.
We hope your Tanzanian adventure stays close to your heart, and we would be delighted to welcome you back for another safari with us. Karibu tena!
