Excellent team provide service beyond expectations
Reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro was undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Standing at the "Roof of Africa" on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Snake, made this achievement even more special and symbolic. It was not just a physical triumph but also a spiritual journey that I will cherish forever.
The climb itself was challenging, as expected, but what made it truly remarkable was the exceptional support and guidance provided by Sam, Justin and his crew. From the very beginning, their professionalism, dedication, and warmth stood out. Sam and Justin was not only highly knowledgeable about the terrain and the challenges we would face but also deeply committed to ensuring everyone's safety and well-being. His calm demeanor and encouraging words "think positive, non stop to the top,…" kept us motivated, especially during the toughest stretches of the ascent.
The team as a whole was outstanding. They were always attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed, from proper equipment to nutritious meals that kept our energy levels up. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude were infectious, turning what could have been a grueling trek into an enjoyable and uplifting adventure. They celebrated every small milestone with us, making the journey feel like a shared victory.
I cannot recommend this experience enough, and much of its success is owed to Sam and his team. Their reliability, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, do it with this team—they will not only help you reach the top but also make the journey one of the most memorable adventures of your life.
Our safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable adventure, made truly special by our incredible driver Inno. His dedication to finding wildlife was remarkable—he tirelessly navigated the terrain to ensure we had the best possible sightings. His expertise and passion for the animals and their habitats shone through in his detailed and engaging explanations, which added so much depth to the experience. Thanks to his efforts, we collected four of the "Big Five" but also gained a deeper appreciation for Tanzania's stunning ecosystems. Highly recommend this safari and our amazing driver for an exceptional journey into the wild!

Professional Kilimanjaro Climbing team and Good Safari guide
I recently embarked on the adventure of a lifetime with Mountain Warrior, and the overall experience was unforgettable.
Kilimanjaro Climb
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a dream come true, and Sam and his team made it seamless. The team was incredibly organized, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Our guides, Sam and Justin, were not only highly experienced but also deeply passionate about the mountain and its surroundings. They provided constant encouragement, shared fascinating stories, and ensured our safety throughout the trek. The porters were equally amazing—hardworking, friendly, and always ready to assist. The food was delicious and plentiful, which was a pleasant surprise at such high altitudes!
The choice of route (we took the Whisky route) was perfect, offering stunning scenery and a good pace for acclimatization. Mountain Warrior’s emphasis on safety and sustainability was commendable, and I felt well-prepared thanks to their thorough pre-trip briefing.
Safari Experience
After summiting Kilimanjaro, we transitioned to the safari portion of the trip, and it was just as incredible. Our guide, Inno, was knowledgeable and had an eagle eye for spotting wildlife. We visited Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater, and each park offered something unique. I highly recommend Ngorongoro Crater, often called the "Natural Zoo," where we encountered countless species of animals. Our guide did his best to find the Big Five, but unfortunately, we missed the leopard. The accommodations and food were comfortable and well-located, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes and wildlife.
What Stood Out
- Exceptional Guides and Staff – The team’s expertise and warmth made the trip truly special.
- Personalized Experience – They catered to our group’s needs and preferences, making the trip feel tailored just for us.
Room for Improvement
Although the experience was nearly flawless, there was a misunderstanding between us and the salesperson during the trip. We assumed that all the accommodations listed in the itinerary were included, but upon arrival at one hotel, we were informed that it had not been booked and that we needed to pay for it ourselves. This was an unexpected disappointment that slightly dampened an otherwise fantastic trip.
Final Thoughts
Mountain Warrior offers great value for money. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and passionate team to guide you through a Kilimanjaro climb and safari, they are a solid choice.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb & Safari – Highly Recommend Sam & His Team!
Our experience with Mountain Warrior was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, everything was seamlessly organized, ensuring a stress-free and unforgettable adventure.
For our Kilimanjaro climb, we were incredibly fortunate to have Sam as our main tour leader. With 22 years of experience on Mt. Kilimanjaro, his expertise, encouragement, and deep knowledge of the mountain made all the difference. Sam and his team took excellent care of us—always checking on our well-being, adjusting the pace when needed, and keeping our spirits high. The team’s professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail ensured that we felt safe, comfortable, and motivated every step of the way.
Following our successful summit, we embarked on a safari planned by Mountain Warrior. The trip was equally well-organized, allowing us to experience Tanzania’s stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife.
We cannot recommend Sam and his team enough! If you’re considering climbing Kilimanjaro or planning a safari, Mountain Warrior is the company to choose. Their dedication, warmth, and expertise turn a challenging journey into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Thank you, Sam, and the entire team, for an incredible experience!

An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventure: Gratitude to Our Guide Sam
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience, and I am thrilled to share my thoughts. The mountain itself is truly magnificent, with breathtaking views and diverse landscapes that change as you ascend. From lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts, each stage of the climb offers a unique and awe-inspiring experience.
Our guide Sam and his team played an instrumental role in making this journey successful. His knowledge of the mountain and his experience were invaluable. He was not only professional but also incredibly supportive, ensuring that we were well-prepared and well-cared for throughout the climb. Sam’s ability to manage the group’s pace and his keen attention to our physical and mental well-being made the challenging journey much more manageable.
I particularly appreciated how Sam encouraged us during the tough moments and shared fascinating insights about the mountain’s history and ecology. His positive attitude and leadership skills were truly inspiring. Thanks to Sam’s guidance, we were able to reach the summit and witness the stunning sunrise from the mountain, a moment that will remain etched in our memories forever.
I highly recommend choosing an experienced guide like Sam and his
team for anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

Amazing 4-day private safari!
Mountain Warriors were great from start to finish. Loveness was so helpful in planning our trip and was always so quick to respond to any questions we had - alway sharing updated information on our accommodation and transport. The accommodation was just the perfect balance of feeling amongst the wild and home comforts and the food was amazing in every stay.
As for the safari itself, absolutely incredible! Words cannot do it justice. We have memories to last a lifetime. Our guide, Mbwena, was so knowledgeable and friendly and looked after us very well. He had many years of experience and found the best spots to see the animals and for us to have lunch. We saw all of the big 5 thanks to his great tracking skills, and got up close with elephants, cheetahs, lions and a leopard plus so so much more. We met many of the mountain warriors team whilst on safari too and they all seem as lovely as the next. If you decide to go with Mountain Warriors you won't be disappointed!

They are caring and loving guides.
There is an amazing way these people make you feel. They choose and adapt their routes according to your needs and desires, but they will listen and advise you the best. Also, they offer support and make you feel safe all the way.

Amazing 5-Day Budget Safari – Unforgettable Experience!
We had an incredible 5-day budget safari with Mountain Warriors, exploring Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park. From start to finish, everything was well organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Our guide, Innocent, had an impressive knowledge of the wildlife and always found the best spots to observe the animals up close.
A big shoutout to our cook, Miriam, who prepared delicious meals for us every day. Not only was her food excellent, but she was also a wonderful person who made sure we were well taken care of.
We were completly satisfied with Mountain Warriors and would book our safari with them again.

Amazing days, seeing the big 5 and more!
We had an amazing guide, John, and we're so happy with our choice of Mountain Warriors. Communication was perfect from the beginning and they were highly reliable and always on time. We got accommodation for vegetarians with great food both days, and the stay at the lodge was also fine. We were very lucky and got to see all the big five over two days, in addition to a bunch of other animals, and our guide did an amazing job driving us to the right spots. This was an amazing experience, and I would really recommend John and mountain warriors for anyone wanting to get the most out of their time in the area.

Unforgettable
Our experience with this safari agency was magnificent. We initially had a misunderstanding regarding the start and end dates of the safari, but when they realized we intended to begin a day earlier, they promptly resolved the issue. They arranged everything seamlessly with another agency they often collaborate with, ensuring no inconvenience for us. 'Pole Pole' and 'Hakuna Matata' are truly part of their culture!
They picked us up from the airport and even organized our return transfer, which was to a different and more distant airport, without any issue. The safari itself was breathtaking. Everyone was incredibly kind, and our guide was highly attentive to our needs, going above and beyond to help us spot all the Big Five.
We highly recommend this agency for anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Perfect organization and great employees!
We had a perfect two-day safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. We can definitely recommend Mountain Warriors! Everything was very well organized and with our guides Innocent and Mbwana as well as our local contact Miriam, we had really nice and competent people to accompany us. I'd love to book with this company!
