Everything was great , I simply can’t think of any complaints!
All the people we communicated with were extremely friendly. The guides were helpful at all times and the lodges and camps we stayed at were pleasant. The food was also great! I would definitely recommend, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Best safari in existence
Samora Explorers took care of us beyond anything I could've expected. They were super communicative, answered all our questions before arriving, provided all the services needed (airport transfer, lodging in Arusha), and gave me incredible peace of mind. Ben was the best guide and driver! He drove safely in all conditions, taught us amazing details about the parks and animals, always made sure we were ok, and made it his personal mission to make every day exceptional.
The food was also above and beyond - full meals for lunches plus complimentary wine, beer, and ample water.
We were in the best hands and were given a good chance to relish Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.

The only company I'll ever choose for a Safari
This was truly a life changing experience. I don't normally write reviews that are this long, but this experience deserves a full spotlight.
The vehicle:
The safari vehicle is incredibly comfortable. It has about 7 seats and room for luggage. We were only 3 which was nice because we could jump from seat to seat for the view. The seats are comfortable and the vehicles are cleaned each day. The roof opens up for you to be able to get a better view of the incredible things you'll see. There are outlets, cupholders compartments and pockets and many other things to make this your 4 day home. Each day you have a meal at your lodge and then a lunch is packed for you. This tour company packs real delicious food so you sit down to eat rice and meat and vegetables each day.
The guide:
Ben!!! He was the perfect guide- really the best guide I've had on a tour led activity. His knowledge of the animals and their behavior shows just how many years he's spent observing everything. He is fun and treats you like family. He himself has fun on the safari, but he takes safety very seriously so there are difficult patches of road in which he concentrates- a point we really appreciated. He went above and beyond by taking us to places to make our hades, to see viewpoints and even to take care of our endless need for bathroom stops.
The parks
Honestly this Is a must do experience. Many would prefer longer Safari's and it is true that more days in the Serengeti can help you have the chance to see more animals, but we were so happy with the 4 days. It was just long enough to see 4 of the big 5 and a ton of other incredible animals, but it wasn't so long that we got restless being in a car for so many days. The parks will change your life. The facts you learn will give your life more meaning and purpose.
The company:
I spent a long while researching safari companies and finally chose samora explorers for one important reason - I sensed that we would be treated like family. We are three 20 something girls traveling alone and I wanted us to have a safe feeling like we are family. That is why I chose this company and that is exactly how they have treated me: like family. Iddy was so so helpful. After months of communication he never got frustrated. He always went above and beyond researching things and even giving me discounts and reminders. The company is through, family oriented, trustworthy, and so super helpful. There is no other company if rather have my adventure with!!!
Look no further, choose this company!!

A friendly, calm, and funny tour guide
Reggie was our tour guide for the Tarangeti Safari and we had an incredible time, we saw so much wildlife and had interesting and entertaining discussions. When we needed something, Reggie was there, and he helped us feel super safe and comfortable.

Our guide was speaking english and german, very patient, safe driving, super good lunch boxes.Happy.
The guide was in time at the Samora River Lodge, we appreciated a lot Reggie’s open communication and the driving style. Excellent opportunity to discover Tarangire from our place. We saw lots of animals and Reggie gave us very good information about the region, the way of living around here and the animals.

VERY friendly and a great listener. Reggie is an excellent tour operator.
Samora Explorers Tour was unique. And consistent of visiting three major national reserves, and sightseeing of many different animals.
Our tour operator, Reggie was very friendly, and a great helper to answering questions.

Fantastic Experience
If you want an excellent Safari experience, don’t fuss about whether to choose expensive or cheap accommodation, but choose your guide very carefully.
Eman (Emanuel Edwards) is an expert and careful driver, who avoids as many ruts and potholes as possible for our comfort, and an incredible navigator, who can find his way across the plains without so much as a wrong turn. But most importantly, he has a vast knowledge of the animals and birds of Tanzania.
He is calm, patient, kind, considerate and wears a fine snaggletoothed smile. His main concerns are our safety and satisfaction, alongside a preservation of the wonderful areas through which he guides us. He is no high-fiving, foolish, jabbering joker, but a perfectly relaxed, polite gentleman with whom you feel immediately at ease and safe in his hands; very important when you are spending a few days with somebody.
He speaks very good English and seems to instinctively know how much information you want about the animals and birds which he can spot at great distance and with great ease, even when hidden in the bush.
My advice; choose Eman.
Friendly, experienxed and service minded
The entire process went very well. From the initial quote to the final hand off at the airport, they have been very service minded doing everything to cater to your needs. We were considering several options in our safari trip and they helped us navigate with their knowledge and local know how. The guide was very experienced and found great spots to see the animals. He talked about the animals how they behave and lots of other fun facts along the game drive.
Overall a great experience and one we can reccommend.

Wonderful safari
Wonderful safari, beautiful places, precious experiences, unforgettable journey.
The rich experience of the guide brought an unforgettable experience, which made me deeply understand Serengeti, Ngorongoro, or Tarangire.
