Perfect days with the perfect company
We spent 4 days and 3 nights in the company of the guide Osman and with the sweetness of the chef Myriam. Osman always made us feel safe, he has a truly unique guide and professionalism, Myriam delighted us with her local cuisine, never missing a single dish!!! Both professional and super accommodating, they made our trip between the infinite expanse of the Serengheti, the unique beauty of Ngorogoro and the forest of Lake Manyara truly special! Highly recommended

2 days safari to Serengeti & Ngorongoro - a memory that we will always cherish!
We went on a 2 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro - a memory that we will always cherish!
Ousmane was our guide and he did an amazing job, patiently answering our questions and sharing with us his deep knowledge and experience, thus providing a personalized and exciting safari!
Also, he made sure we were happy and fine all the safari long and tried his best to let us see the big 5 - and he nailed it! We saw all of them!
The organization of the trip was very well structured from the beginning - thanks to the pdf and details’ exchange via chat - and although we were on a tight schedule ( considering we had just 2 days), they made the most of it, and allowed us to delve ourselves in the adventure.
We definitely recommend this company for your safari!!!!

Best Memories in Tanzania
Both the reservation and the process were smooth and I was able to get an answer right away. The guide and the chef were all kind and I was able to have fun with other participants. We stayed in the tent because it was a budget tour, but the arrangement was good. I can't forget the memory of staying while listening to the sounds of animals in the tent. I was able to see various animals as well as the Big 5. I recommend it!

Extremely reliable company and excellent individual safari planning
From the first telephone call from Rosemary we felt extremely well taken care of and had a very good feeling about this agency… she listened well to our wishes and expectations and adapted the safari according to them… the tour as well as the lodges were excellent! Signature Serengeti Luxury camp as well as Suricata Boma Lodge were simply stunning! From amazing sunsets to excellent food and incredible friendliness and customer service- we will never forget these moments! Stunning! Mike, our tour guide, was a very kind man and a really good driver- we felt so safe and good in his car from the very first moment! He did everything to make our safari a great experience- a journey we will never forget! Not to forget that Mike fascinated us with his great character… he always cared for other people , gave leftover food to local people, helped people… he is very social and we appreciate that a lot…And at the end of our great safari Rosemary surprised us when she hurried to Arusha Airport to say goodbye to us and gave us a farewell gift… what a nice gesture! Summing up Mountain Warriors Tours managed to show us Serengeti, Ngorongoro , Tarangire and even Lake Manyara within our 4-days tour and we can totally recommend them!!!

Came to see animals, found a friend.
We booked a 3 days tour with montain warriors and everything went smooth as silk.
We were a little bit frustrated since the flight company changed our flight without notice and we were scared about not having time to see all animals. Was time too short for seeing all animals? Maybe... Was this a problem? Definitely not. Why? Because at the airport one guy picked us up and from that moment and forward we've been in his awesome hands. His name is Simon and he introduced us to this amazing experience. He told us facts about the national parks and then we started the journey. What a journey! He knew that our time was very short and he did everything possible to make our experience unforgettable. He proposed us to wake up very early (allowing us to have breakfast with stunning views, probably the best of our lives), and he drove on and on seeking for animals.
It seemed like he knew where all the animals would have been and drove to them, allowing us to take stunning pictures and videos to animals crossing the road right in front of us. He has so much experience in this job and this allows him to anticipate every single move of the animals, being in the right place at the right time. Having lunches and dinners with him allowed us to know many stories about tribes and so on. But, most importantly he told us about his life and we did it too, allowing ourselves to discover different cultures.
If we knew how good he would have been, we would have asked for Saimon when booking. If you are reading this, you definitely should.
All the accomodations were very good, allowing the customers to sleep inside one of the best national parks. Amazing quality of food even in the middle of nowhere.
This experience can change your life if you're lucky enough to meet a driver that puts passion in his work and cares about making 3 days the best days of your life.
Well done Saimon (also mountain warriors), hope to see you again one day.

the best guide and journey, it's our lucky to choose moutain warriors!!!
We chat with 10+ groups when we plan this africa journey, and the moutain warriors always reply very quickly,and the pdf is the MOST DETAILD AND LOGICAL. we don't have enough time, and the mountain warriors is the ONLY group can take us to Kilimanjoro in 5th day and arrived the madara hut（other company think it's impossible）.
Our safari guide MBWANA is the BEST guide in the world, at the start he asked us which animals so he can pay more attention to find them，and we tell him we like every animals . So in our 4 days safari in serengati and engrongor，WANA try his best to show us more and more animals，we know more than 70 animals !!! and we really enjoy it! also，WANA is a very knowledgable and experienced ,he can recoganzize every animals（although maybe a small bird）and show us in the book. he is very friendly with other rangers, they share messages in video, and help tourists find more animals. we really miss the day with WANA.
Our moutain guide SAM is a gold guide with 2-years work experience. we only have 1 day in Kilimanjoro, but we arrived in madara hut,see the peak and go back in 4pm. on the road to airport,we see the wholo Kilimanjoro and take the best photo! ！！
Our zanzibar dolphin guide is a cool guy and patient,he always sad hakuna matata and make us happy,he have a very good taset in music.
IN THE WHOLE trip , the accomodation and the food are always better than my expectations，and the water、beer、wine is always local and have a good taste. Every day we eat full、sleep good and have good memory. LOVENESS is a good boss and always keep in touch with us online, she arrange everything comfortable and successful.
In the end, I want to say ：it's our lucky to choose moutain warriors and meet so many good people in Africa，I will recommand to my friends and all the tourist who have a plan to travel AFRICA. thanks for the moutain warriors！thank you very much!!!

They take their clients serious.
This will be an extensive review as our experience with mountain warriors has been with varying success. However, we would recommend them, as despite some things not working out the way planned, they did everything possible to correct what went wrong and saved our safari due to the extra efforts done. I think this shows that they take their clients and their feedback serious and has them put their priorities right.
Booking process was good, the agent has been responsive and helpful. After confirming and making a down payment communication stayed good untill we arrived. We had 2 days in Arusha, where we planned to do some sightseeing tours. However the agent wanted to come by when we stayed at the hotel, to do a briefing and make the remaining payment (for which we preferred to do this with the termina, due to the lower charges).
The agent however on the first day changed the meeting time several times, to then cancel the appointment, so we waited for nothing at the hotel and lost a day in which we could go for a tour close to the city. This mend the next day we did not get the chance to do a tour, as she would pass by. That's why we planned to do things on our own instead as the tours left early morning. She however that day came 2.5 hours late, again keeping us at the hotel (we had even proposed to pass by your office to arrange the payment). This mend that 2 days in Arusha, we did not get further than the city centre. What wondered me even more, was that the other people of our tour paid when we gathered at your office for the tour. In regards to payment I find it a bit weird one is charged in dollar, and if you want to pay in the local currency you are converted from tbe dollar amount at buying tmrate, making you pay even more (but as we are not from the US, also dollar charge makes no sense).
The same night, pickup time was changed 3 times. As was the itinerary we booked changed last minute. We booked a tour from Arusha, starting at Tarangire, which would mean a few hours drive from Arusha, and then a full day safari plus in the evening already moving towards our next destination; Serengeti (via Ngorongoro). This would leave the next day to drive into Serengeti ik the morning, have the afternoon for game drive, sleep, have a morning game drive and move to Ngorongoro in the evening for the night and a day game drive the next day, leaving enough time to get back to Arusha.
Instead, we now spent a full day driving to the campsite, where (as we heard on the way) we had to be at 18.00. We left late, according to the driver, and therefore the was little to no time for game drive that afternoon. What makes it extra frustrating, is that for pickup at our hotel, the pickup was an hour late, and knowing we should be at the campsite by 18.00, they should have organised an earlier departire to allow the game drive time that was promised in the itenary.
The following day the game drive was perfect, only thing strange for us was that some people in our vehicle had a visit to a traditional village visit included already, and we rather had the option to wait in the car or join at paid expenses. This might be something that should be mentioned in the program prior, In stead of on the spot. Also, we have had 5 souvenir stops along the 4 day drive, all at places that felt like tourist traps (extremely high prices and specific tactics used to sell items)
The third day is where we had the main issues, the company promised a full day game drive, however as the drives had to bring some people in our group, who booked another package, back to Arusha, our tour was cut short by him after about 4 hours. With only 3 full days of game drive in the planning, having what feels like a second half day day taken was not what we where happy about. We however indicated this directly to the agency, and despite the fact that the day itself there was not much they could do but drop us at the hotel around 3, they did so a lot of extra effort making things right the next day. They arranged a seperate driver to come and pick us up, had a private tour (with the 3 from our group), could determine times and the way we spend time in the park at animals oyraelf, and had the best guide possible with Kefas Guiding us. He was passionate and very knowledgeable, on tim of that we where lucky with what we saw which also added to the experience. Furthermore upon arrival they agreed to their mistake and came with a partial compensation. As explained by them it was die to the high season and them having to work with external contractirs in stead of their own people, like Kefas who we had on the final day. Given how good the last day was (and assuming this is their standard), and the fact they take our complain serious and came with solutions, shows they take their work serious and want only the best. We think that it shows they are reliable and therefore deserve our recommendation. We do hope that will be more clear in their communication. How shared tours are out together, as well as the entrybtickets and relates times guests have in the parks, as this is something that impacts your trip. Overall, the service and amenities offered, combined with their openness for feedback during the trip and efforts done to live up the expectations makes us get back to them if we do a next trip!

Don't look further. These guys are the best in terms of price vs quality
Did a 4-day Safari and a 6-day Kilimanjaro (Machame) with these guys. They seem to be a smaller company, but that is the positive side of it. They reply fast, remember what your questions or concerns were. So you don't get the feeling of some big travel agency where several people reply to your emails not knowing what the previous one promised.
If you go for the Kilimanjaro - definitely ask for SAM as a guide, JUSTIN as the asistent guide and OBAMA as the chef.
This team makes it an EXPERIENCE and not a struggle. All of us made it to the top enjoying it.
Cannot recommend them more. We really enjoyed it thanks to them.

unforgettable memories of Safari tour and experience the Materuni Falls at Chemka Hot Springs
June 2024
It was a trip that I have never experienced before and that I will never experience again. Especially, the safari tour was very reliable and worry-free because of the kind explanation and the considerate Victor. The company president, Gasto, provided strong support behind the scenes and even if the plan suddenly went wrong, he suggested a way out so that I could do everything I could without any problems. I was really impressed by the view and facilities of the accommodations. I went on my honeymoon and received congratulations and it was an unforgettable memory. I recommend it.
