Excellent Safari company, experienced guide, amazing experiences
We had an amazing safari with Samora Explorers. English and German speaking.
The itinerary was very well planned,with great accommodations whilst traveling from Arusha to Lake Natron then through the Serengeti and down to Ngorongoro (5 days in total)
We saw the big five many times and so many other wonderful animals all with the awesome backdrop of the African wilderness.
Iddy's experience, knowledge and driving skills impressed us again and again and we had the best time. Whilst on Safari we also had freshly prepared picnic lunches (not prepacked lunch boxes)
Before our Safari started (2 nights) and afterwards (3nights) we stayed at Samora River Lodge, also run by Iddy and his family, and took excellent day trips in the local area. Great accommodation, very friendly staff and great food.
Thank you so much Iddy, we will come back to visit again.

Unforgettable 7-Day Safari with Samora in Tanzania
Our 7-day safari in Tanzania was an absolute dream! From start to finish, all our wishes were taken into account, making this trip truly special.
The accommodations were clean, cozy, and offered breathtaking views. Staying in tents allowed us to experience an extraordinary time in the heart of nature, surrounded by wildlife. The lodges, on the other hand, were more luxurious, yet they still maintained the authentic safari feel, which we greatly appreciated.
Our guide, Reggie, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He shared so much insightful information with us, but more importantly, he quickly felt like a friend. He always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of, which added to the overall experience.
Without a doubt, we would recommend Samora to our friends anytime. This safari was an adventure of a lifetime, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Bucket-list wonderful safari with amazing local company and great guide Regi!
Where to even start with this wonderful company? Very glad my husband and I picked them for a bucket-list, 30th birthday safari!
From the get-go, Iddy was fantastic with crafting a great itinerary and replying promptly to all of our emails - he really made sure that the trip was bespoke and personalised to what we'd like, including accommodation choices and adjusting the itinerary to suit our flights. Out of many tour operators, Samora were the most competitively priced. We had already seen the great reviews online and were really excited to head out to Tanzania!
We were picked up at the airport by our guide, Regi, who gave us a quick intro about the basics of safari, Tanzania overall and a recap of the itinerary - and then we went straight out to see animals! Over the next 6 days, Regi proved himself as an incredibly talented guide - he was able to see animals from afar (even without binoculars!), point them out to us and then manoeuvre the vehicle to allow us the best view and angle to take photos. Moreover, he is extremely knowledgable about a huge variety of animals (birds, mammals, you name it, he knew facts about them) and he happily answered all our questions. In fact, he gave us an incredible insight into the lifestyle in Tanzania, so we really felt immersed in the culture - for us, this hugely elevated our trip. Throughout the safari, Regi was funny, easy to get along with and calm under pressure if ever we got stuck in some rain. He made sure we were comfortable and happy with how each day went. We covered Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, and saw the Big 5 many times with multiple close-up big cat sightings, thanks to Regi's talent.
Cannot recommend Samora enough - they are a local company and value a customer's trust and satisfaction above all. When our hot air balloon experience was cancelled due to rain, Iddy was kind enough to give us a refund himself instead of having to wait 4+ weeks to get the money from the hot air balloon company, as he knew that that would be more hassle for us. Iddy knows what it is like to be a driver (he does safaris himself too) and he values the safety of both the customer and the driver, so you know you are in safe hands.
Extra bonuses with Samora - hot lunches every day were great when you are out on safari and get very hungry! Unlimited cold water, soft drinks and beer in the safari were great. The safari vehicle itself has got multiple (UK) plugs alongside USB-A charging ports so we could charge our cameras/phones to make sure we never missed a moment. We also got to stay at Samora River Lodge on our last night, a beautiful lodge within Arusha right next to a flowing river, making it feel like a peaceful resort. We got to meet other members of the Samora team, including Baraka, who made a fantastic three course meal and breakfast for us, as well as being a great host.
In just 6 days, we built a great friendship with Regi, sharing jokes, laughing together and learning Swahili, which enhanced our safari even more. We are still in touch now, even after the trip!
Final thoughts - if you go with Samora, you will be in great hands with tour guides who will go the extra mile to make sure that your safari experience is the best it can be! Many thanks to Regi, Iddy, Baraka and the whole Samora team - asante sana!

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
