Ngao is diligent, and responsible tour agency
Mr. Kudely is a very professional operator. He cares his customers, engaging actively with them. The price was reasonable. He recommended the tour plan adjusting with our budget.
We went to Serengeti, and Ngorogoro. The guide was very professional. We saw 5 big animals, as the guide did his best to find them. We stayed in the rest house. Accommodation was clean, and food was nice.
I’d like to come back to Ngao for my next safari.

Quick response, great value, friendly guides
We highly recommend Samora Explorers to everyone. Initial communication via email was quick, smooth, and efficient. We received a quote quickly. We had the trip slightly modified to meet our needs, which was no problem at all.
Upon arrival at the airport, the driver was already waiting for us. We received a warm welcome from the staff at the Samora Lodge in Arusha. There, we were able to recover from our overnight flight.
The next day, our guide, Henry, was ready at 8:00 AM sharp. We'd join him on safari for the next six days. He's a friendly and professional guide with an eagle eye. Henry truly went above and beyond to show us as much as possible and was extremely patient while we were both taking photos (we're both amateur photographers).
The accommodations during our stay were excellent, from beautiful lodges to incredibly cozy tented camps. The food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) was also excellent.
We enjoyed a wonderful safari and would book with Samora Explorers again. We highly recommend them to everyone.

It was a personalized, tailor-made trip from the tour planning to the accommodation.
We had smooth and easy communication with Mr. Kudely via WhatsApp, and he was attentive and supportive throughout from planning the trip to making sure everything went smoothly during the tour. When we asked for a timetable, he provided one without hesitation, and we never felt pressured to add extra options or pay unexpected fees.
We had a special request to be dropped off in Moshi, and they gladly accommodated that without any issue.
The package included water, accommodation, meals, guide fees, and park entrance fees. The accommodation was in a rest house with well-maintained rooms and private bathrooms, electricity and even the local food provided there suited us very well.
But the best part of the experience was our guide, Norbert. He felt more like a friend than a guide. warm, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about making our experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond to help us spot all of the Big Five animals, and on the final day, he even took us to a beautiful sunset point to wrap up our safari in the most perfect way.
The safari vehicle was also in excellent condition, clean, comfortable, and reliable.
I highly recommend Ngao Safari. they’re professional, thoughtful, and genuinely care about providing a meaningful experience

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Shafino – Expert Guide, Incredible Wildlife, and great company
I had the absolute best safari experience with Shafino — hands down, you won't find a better guide.
From the very start, Shafino impressed us with his ability to find even the most elusive animals. He led us to three leopards, multiple groups of 10+ lions every single day, 11 cheetahs, and a stunning range of wildlife — from zebras and elephants to gazelles and the great wildebeest migration crossing the river. We didn’t just see animals — we saw the action. We witnessed a cheetah chasing a wildebeest, another with a gazelle kill, and three cheetahs feeding on a fresh kill. Thanks to his incredible driving skills, we got remarkably close while always feeling safe.
What really sets Shafino apart is his depth of knowledge. He understands the animals, their behaviors, the land, the plants, and the culture of the region. He’s extremely well-educated and shared so much insight throughout the trip. He could predict what animals were going to do before they did it, helping us get in perfect position for the best photos. Every outing had a purpose — no aimless driving — and every day, we hit our goals.
We always felt safe and well taken care of. Shafino’s background as a mechanic gave us extra peace of mind, and although we never had an issue, it was reassuring to know we were in capable hands. He went above and beyond — keeping our drinks cold, tracking down the red bananas we were curious about, and always making sure we were happy and comfortable.
I also want to highlight that his company was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They organized everything seamlessly — from logistics and accommodations to small personal touches — and were always responsive, professional, and accommodating. They clearly care about their guests and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of.
A guide can make or break your safari — and Shafino absolutely made ours. If you're planning a safari, trust me: go with Shafino. You’ll be in better hands than you can imagine.

Unforgettable experience
It’s been an amazing trip. We’ve seen a wide variety of natural environments and animals, and we have learnt a lot thanks to our guide and his experience. Seif gave us a detailed explanations of each one, and he has really tried to show us all the animals with no luck all the time, but what we’ve seen has been astonishing. Thank you for an unforgettable honeymoon

An amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip!
Bengal Safari was very good with communicating with me. The trip was arranged fantastically. Enjoyed every bit of it. Our driver Gasper was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and we got to see unbelievable things. It was all beyond our expectations. Joel who was our tour organiser put together the safari and we were so happy with it. He was there when we arrived and he was there at the end of it too. And the communication has been great. Excellent job guys!

Emmy made sure we had the best experience, very attentive and knowledgeable.
We did a ten day trip through Rwanda. Emmy guided us for the first seven days from Kigali to Nyungwe, Musanze and up to the entrance of the Akagera National Park, where he left us in the capable hands of the Magashi lodge staff. Throughout the trip Emmy was super attentive and friendly trying to make our trip extra special. We also learned a lot about Rwanda today and in the past from all of Emmy’s stories. We really enjoyed the trip thanks to Emmy’s company and guidance.
