Once in a Lifetime Experience
5/5

Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely perfect and an unforgettable adventure. The entire experience was flawlessly organized, and we opted for an all-inclusive safari package, which made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our guide, Godfrey, was fantastic—he spoke perfect English and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the animals and parks. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to spot so many animals in their natural habitat. One of the highlights was our stay at the tented camp in the Serengeti. It was truly an unforgettable experience, waking up surrounded by nature and the sounds of the wild. Every moment was magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Thank you.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Mountain Warriors! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5/5

My husband and I recently embarked on a two-day safari with Mountain Warriors Safari Company, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! Not only did we get to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Ngorongoro National Park and Tarangire, but we also celebrated my birthday in the most unforgettable way.

From the moment we flew from Zanzibar, the adventure began. Our tour guide, Lucky Kili, truly lived up to his name! His passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the parks made every moment exhilarating. He effortlessly navigated the terrain, ensuring we had the best vantage points for viewing the incredible wildlife.

In Tarangire, we were greeted by majestic elephants roaming freely and graceful gazelles bounding through the grasslands. The highlight, however, was witnessing a pride of lions lounging in the sun, a sight that left us in awe of nature’s beauty.

Ngorongoro was equally spectacular. We were thrilled to spot a rare rhinoceros, and the sight of hippos wallowing in the water was a delightful surprise. One of the most unforgettable moments was watching hyenas feasting on a recent catch—an extraordinary glimpse into the circle of life.

The accommodations for our nights were simply stunning. Each evening was spent in beautiful lodges that perfectly blended comfort with nature, creating an enchanting atmosphere that made my birthday feel even more special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt celebrated, which added a personal touch to an already magical experience.

Our adventure wasn’t just about wildlife; we also had the privilege of visiting a Masai tribe. Their vibrant culture and warm hospitality added a rich layer to our safari experience, allowing us to connect with the traditions of this remarkable community.

Every aspect of our trip was impeccably organized by Mountain Warriors. The seamless logistics, attention to detail, and Lucky’s infectious enthusiasm transformed our journey into an unforgettable adventure.

If you’re dreaming of a safari that combines stunning wildlife, knowledgeable guides, and cultural experiences, look no further than Mountain Warriors Safari Company. We can’t recommend them enough!

Thank you, Lucky, and the entire Mountain Warriors team for making my birthday celebration an experience of a lifetime! We can’t wait to come back for more adventures!

Great Professional Company
5/5

4 day/3 night safari booked with Mountain Warriors. I chose this company as the initial quote and conversations with Rehema were very professional and any questions I had were answered instantly. They provided the itinerary for exactly what we were after.
We stayed in Zanzibar the week before Safari and back again after the Safari.
All transport to and from the airport was exceptional and very professional.
Flights were all booked to and from Zanzibar for us with only one issue for our flight back to Zanzibar but with no fault from Mountain Warriors. The airline (Flight Link) had obviously over subscribed the flight and changed our booking to fly from a different airport. This would have been no problem if they had informed Mountain Warriors beforehand about this but they hadn’t. We arrived at the airport luckily in plenty of time only to be told our booking at had been moved to a different airport. I contacted Rehema via whatsapp to ask for help where she instantly jumped into action and spoke with the airline on our behalf. During this the owner of Mountain Warriors met us at the airport to resolve the issue. He got us on to another flight that was leaving at the same time as our original flight and from the same airport. This level of customer service is unheard of in the UK and is a massive credit to such a professional customer focussed company.
Accommodation whilst on Safari both at the Mountain View lodge and the Into Wild Africa Serengeti park glamping site was out of this world we couldn’t have experienced better service or level of comfort from these two sites both offering a level of luxury not expected whilst on safari let alone anywhere else.
The safari itself was out of this world where we were lucky enough to see the big 5 in one morning. Our guide Innocent was exceptional in finding what we wanted to see and got there promptly and safely. He was very knowledgeable and a very nice person to be with.
Lunch whilst on safari was not what we expected at all. Every day was fresh hot lunches of rice, potato’s, vegetables, curry’s, stir fry’s, fruit, hot drinks, cold drinks put it this way we didn’t go hungry.
My only negative would be regarding tipping. We did plenty of research regarding this both via the internet and our travel agent who had been on a safari previously. The general consensus was that $20-25 per day per couple was appropriate for the guide. We received a message from Rehema the day before our Safari stating that the “minimum” tip should be $30 per person per day. This took us by surprise and obviously had not accounted for this before we travelled to Zanzibar the week before and for a trip costing a large sum ($3800) was disproportionate especially with the advice we had received from other people and research carried out.
If such a large tip is the norm this should be built in to the cost of the trip or informed on booking.
We tipped our guide with what we thought was appropriate.
Just a small negative for such a great trip we had and at the end of the day it’s up to the individual to tip what they feel is appropriate
Great company would highly recommend.

Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania!
5/5

Our Safari exceeded all expectations! Our guide john was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the most stunning wildlife. We saw lions on stones and rhinos on the grassland, and even a rare leopard resting in a tree!
The highlight was the tour guide john drove a long way in Serengeti National Park to take us to find leopards, and we found lions, cheetahs and leopards on the same day.It was an unforgettable experience. The guide’s expertise ensured we had the best views while learning so much about the animals and their habitat.
Everything was well-organized, from the comfortable lodges to the delicious meals. If you’re looking for an incredible Safari adventure, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

A dream trip!
5/5

Mbwana was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job! He was kind and knowledgeable; truly the best guide!

We went on a group trip and he did the best to make everyone feel special and comfortable. They provided food, water, and the luxury camps were beautiful!

I would recommend booking with Mountain Warriors and if possible asking for Mbwana as your guide. My tip: ask all your questions before the trip begins as the company is ready to answer them.

My mom and I will forever cherish this trip 🤍

Excellent team provide service beyond expectations
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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.
