Reviews
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.

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.
Well experienced
Very kindly en Quick responce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing safari with Reggie
We made a 5 day safari with Reggie to Tanganiere, Maniara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was an amazing tour. Reggie is a very kind and lovely person and has always a smile on his face. He made our days unforgettable. He has such a good knowledge about the animals and nature. We felt very save with him. He has the best view to find animals and to show us. We also enjoyed all the hours talking with Reggie who gave us so much information about Tansania, the culture and the people. Looking forward to come again on a safari with Reggie

Amazing!
we’ve requested a quote for a 5 day safari & 3 day mount meru hike. Iddy, the owner, responded immediately with a personal planning and all the information we needed to know. He was very kind and helpfull! We decided to go for it and haven’t regretted! At the airport, our lovely safari guide Henry was waiting for us for pick up. We spend the next 5 days together as he was our private driver. always on time, very friendly, gave a lot of information about the parcs etc. He made our experience even better! Would do it all over again! Iddy was also very quick available if we had any other questions. Tomorrow we start our mount meru hike so excited for that experience!

Best Tour & Excellent Guide (Regi)
Our family recently completed a seven-day safari organized by Samora Explorers. I contacted five Tour operators, and Samora provided the best value for money. It was indeed an unparalleled experience! Our guide, Reginald (Regi) made it more memorable and exciting with his insights, stories, and humor. From the moment we set out, the journey was filled with thrilling discoveries, from lions on the prowl to elephants wandering through the savannah.
Reginald was incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring each sighting was meaningful. He was very professional and attentive, ensuring we saw the animals up close while keeping a safe distance. His knowledge of animals and their behavior is truly outstanding! We learned a lot from him.
Additionally, we enjoyed the clean and luxurious accommodations for a mid-range budget. The hotel staff members were all amiable and attentive to our needs. Lastly, the food at each meal was delicious!
The attention to detail, expertise, and seamless service made this an unforgettable trip. I highly recommend Samora Explorers and Regi to anyone seeking the ultimate safari experience.

Reggi is a big-hearted and cheerfull person
We went on a three-day safari with Reggi through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park, which he guided in German.
During the safari tours Reggi always had a very attentive eye, has a very broad knowledge of many animals and their lives and was always keen to show us all the animals as close as possible.
We felt comfy with Reggi from the very first second, he took all our needs into account and always provided us with unforgettable tours.
Reggi is an incredibly nice and cheerful person, he always has a smile on his face and makes you feel very safe with his driving style!
We were a great team - thank you for everything!

Excellent experience with Samora Explorers
A great atmosphere from start to finish, guide Reggi top and always an open ear (a team + didn't race like other guides, you could enjoy nature & animals in a relaxed atmosphere).
The accommodation was perfectly chosen and well equipped.
Can only say WOW to this planned tour through the national parks (Serengeti, Manyara, Ngorongoro & Tangire).
Keep it up and very strong💪, of course I give it a 5/5.
Thank you for everything on our trip
