Who you're booking with

Most safaris are sold from a city you'll never see. Ours are sold from the road that runs to the park gate — by the women who built this company and the guides who grew up watching this water.

That closeness is the whole product. It is why a game drive can start at five in the morning because the light will be right, why the vehicle stops where it should and moves on when it should, and why the number on this page is answered at any hour by someone who can actually change your plan.

  • Owned by women

    Samuza identifies as a women-owned business on its Google listing.

  • Open 24 hours

  • On-site services

    Trip planning, guiding and vehicles arranged from the Katunguru Road office.

  • Cards & mobile money

    Credit cards, debit cards and NFC mobile payments are accepted.

Praised Sunday for clear communication and organisation, and rated the early-morning Queen Elizabeth game drive highly — plenty of wildlife, big panoramic views, and a guide who knew the park and its animals deeply.
