⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Incredible Safari Experience of Our Lives! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If we could give more than five stars, we absolutely would! Our four-day safari at Sekekama Tented Safari was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Izzy and Duan, the incredible managers/hosts who made us feel like family. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience set the tone for what would be the best trip of our lives.
Duan was our guide, along with Mike on the first day, and their knowledge was simply mind-blowing. They knew everything—literally everything—about the wildlife, from the largest animals to the tiniest insects, not just in South Africa but across the globe. Every game drive was thrilling, educational, and awe-inspiring, thanks to their expertise and passion.
What made this trip even more special was the personal touch. They went above and beyond to ensure our experience was flawless, even helping us plan the rest of our journey in Cape Town. Their dedication to our happiness made Sekekama feel like home.
Every special request we had, no matter how big or small, they made it happen effortlessly. Whether it was organizing specific experiences, ensuring our comfort, or surprising us with little details that made our trip unique, they were always there to make the impossible possible.
A special shoutout to Great, our fantastic driver, who made our stay even more unforgettable. His kindness and exceptional service were truly remarkable. One of the most touching moments was when we met a local on our first safari day who offered to make us a homemade Amarula cocktail. As fate would have it, Great knew this person and took it upon himself to personally organize everything. The next day, he surprised us with the bottle of Amarula, proving just how much the entire Mosafari Tour team values service and guest satisfaction.
If you’re considering a safari in South Africa, stop searching and book Sekekama Tented Safari. You won’t just go on a safari—you’ll live an extraordinary adventure filled with heartwarming moments, breathtaking wildlife, and a team that truly cares about making your trip unforgettable.
Thank you, Izzy, Duan, Mike, and Great! You have given us memories that will last a lifetime. We cannot wait to return!

Horrible experience with this company
We paid Yotham for a safari. He paid another company who stole our money. Yotham paid us 1/5 the money owed to us and refuses to pay the rest.

A perfectly organized trip! Everything went smoothly, the itinerary was well thought out, and the guide was professional and friendly. We almost saw all the members of the Big Five! Thank you for an amazing experience!

Trustworthy, prompt and professional
Kathi has been a godsend to us as we were planning for our trip to South Africa. She made the process seamless and transparent so that we were aware of all the details from the start. She arranged for us everything (airtickets, transfers, safari lodgings) which made it so easy for us to just have a fabulous holiday. I would highly recommend Kathi as she is extremely patient and provides good recommendations on places to suit your budget and preferences.

Feel the great nature, and me as part of it
We spent 3 days for game drive starting from Tarangire through Ngorongoro to southern Serengeti. In Tarangire, we saw lots of lots of elephants and get to know their way of life. In Ngorongoro, it has totally different natural scenery from Tarangire. We saw huge clan of gnus and zebras, buffalos, gazelles and even meet a lion. And surprisingly southern Serengeti, it also has different view from Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We saw tons of wildlife and our guide, Gilbert did his best effort to show us different lives of animals. We even saw cheetah thanks to his great effort.
After tour, I finally felt I am the part of earth and is sharing nature with unimaginably numerous wildlives. I really appreciate our guide Gilbert for making our journey wonderful. He understood it could be once in our lifetime chance.
The tour fee was not that low but it worths even more. And the condition of lodges and camps were good during two nights.
I would strongly recommend to have safari experience with Ndutu green explorers. They do what they are doing😁

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!

Recommend without any hesitation.
Very efficient organization. From the time I contacted them 4 weeks prior to our vacation, they very quickly provided a great itinerary for 10 days and very accommodating in adjusting the dates. Three of us on this tour and they met us at the hotel and took care of everything till our return to the airport on time. The drivers, Patrick and Isaiah are are very careful and safe. They are very patient and knowledgeable. They know the local rangers and know where to go for must see things. Like the swimming hole in Buffalo Springs National parks. We are able to see all the animals close and the resorts picked for us were excellent. We made it clear that our purpose was to see as much wild life as possible and they did a great job accomplishing that. We are very satisfied with the service and it is well worth the money we paid. We will take vacation with Shanjoy again if we plan another tour in that part of the continent.

Exceptional Safari Experience at Maasai Mara.
We (3 families) had an unforgettable experience during my recent trip to Maasai Mara, Kenya. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and great attention to detail.
Accommodation was top-notch, blending comfort with the wild beauty of Kenya. The service was outstanding, with prompt responses and a willingness to accommodate all our needs.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for a seamless, well-organized, and truly memorable safari experience. Thank you for making our trip so special @Gideon, Sammy and Titus 👍👍👍
