Samwel made a great arrangement for us when we were not flexible to move our trip to the new date of the race in October. We got a perfectly tailored plan with a 21km "fun run" with an american couple and safari as well as visits to interesting attractions in and arround his town Mugumu on the Serengeti. Samwel and his crew did everything to make us comfortable and safe from the time we were picked up in Arusha until we returned. Although the race was not official, it was organized with traffic safety and a large organizing team. Impressive to see this and to be able to run with the local "elite" who were invited. Those who are lucky enough to participate in the Serengeti marathon & anti-poaching run on Oct. 7/8. will get a unique experience when the whole local community cheers in the streets. Thank you very much Samwel.

Mr. Samwel and his team organized a great event for my husband and I and a couple other travelers during our time in Serengeti! The official race had to be postponed for logistical reasons, but they gladly offered to still have a 10k “fun run” and even entertained my request for a 20k fun run so I could meet my half marathon training goal. The running crew consisted of about 20 local (very friendly!!) runners and us travelers. It was an incredible experience to run with the local running team through their hometown, and even have other locals join us for the run, impromptu, along the way! Even for a “fun run”, we were offered water, electrolytes, bathrooms, and snacks along the route, as well as t-shirts and medals to be sent to us back in our home countries once they became available. 110% hospitality and quality. Totally recommended.

Hi there , Was a great event , was fun and we were impressed by the organisation committee having medical staff on hand , police , water stops all arranged and sign boards up for the route , great commadarie from the other runners and supporters alike was very encouraging . Only things I would strongly suggest; would be the water stops should have had served water out of paper cups to reduce the plastic waste .

lucky we had the rain the night before otherwise it would have been really dusty and hot to run 21 km in the heat .
