Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Mecky
Our 3-day safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was nothing short of magical. The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife encounters surreal, and our accommodations exceeded expectations with their comfort, stunning views, and warm hospitality.
While we did face some initial misunderstandings with the safari company regarding logistics, our guide, Mecky, truly turned things around. From the moment we met him, his humor, kindness, and deep knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem put us at ease. Mecky not only ensured we had an incredible wildlife experience but also made every moment enjoyable with his stories and positive energy.
The Serengeti delivered iconic scenes of lions lounging in the sun, elephants strolling majestically, and endless herds of wildebeest crossing the plains. Ngorongoro Crater, on the other hand, felt like stepping into a lost world – an awe-inspiring concentration of animals surrounded by dramatic crater walls.
Despite the initial hiccup, this safari became an unforgettable adventure, largely thanks to Mecky’s dedication and charisma. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience – just make sure you have someone like Mecky by your side!

Fast, kind, flexible guide. Best tour agency in Tanzania
Conclusion: Extremely satisfied! I would definitely use them again if I visit Tanzania!
My friend and I went on a 5-day safari tour with Mountain Warriors, visiting Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti (2 days), and Ngorongoro.
First of all, their responsiveness was the fastest. They replied quicker than any other agency we contacted. They were also flexible with the itinerary. While other agencies said Ndutu was only available for private tours and not for group tours, Mountain Warriors said it was possible. Thanks to that, we saw the most animals of the entire trip in Ndutu.
On the last day, we had to leave early due to our flight schedule, and they accommodated us by starting earlier. Thanks to their consideration, we were able to fully enjoy the entire tour.
Osman was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. His eyesight was amazing—he could spot animals I couldn’t even see and pointed them out to us. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big Five. He also taught us a lot about the animals’ lifespans and characteristics, giving us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the wildlife.
While they said we were lucky, we ended up seeing about 50 lions, 2 leopards, 1 rhino, countless buffaloes, and elephants.
Miriam’s cooking was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I was a bit worried about the food before the trip, but it turned out amazing. Her pasta was the best! I didn’t even feel curious about the food of other groups. She even made bread from scratch, and it tasted better than most bread I’ve had in Korea.
If I ever go back to Tanzania, I would definitely choose Mountain Warriors again!

unprofessional and dangerous
We did Serengeti + Ngorogoro crater. It was a beautiful experience, luckly the view was stunning as where the animals. Unfortunately, our guide couldn't give us any information about the animals nor the bush, he was more our driver then our guide. At some point I asked questions and he just stopped answering. I was there with my partner, and we were with another couple that booked the "budget camping" as accommodation, whilst we booked the option "luxury safari". And I have to admit, the places we slept where beautiful. But on the first night, our "guide" that clearly didn't know the Serengeti, was lost and it was almost nighttime. We asked him to look at our google maps but he was to stubborn and would only do it his way. We ended up riding in the middle of the safari in the dark for more then 1 hour. We finally arrived at nighttime in our first accommodation, the other couple had to drive one more hour in the dark to their tents. The next day we arrived at our second accommodation, which was once again beautiful. We agreed with our "guide" to wake up in the morning and leave at 7am after breakfast. But the next morning they woke us up shouting in front of our tent at 5AM, telling us we had 5minutes to rush and leave our accommodation. It was still dark when we left our accommodation, and we didn't get our breakfast with the sunrise that we booked in this beautiful place. We were told it was because our flight was at 1PM in Arusha, that they booked the day before (it was planned when we booked that they would provide a flight for us in the evening). We then arrived to the accommodation of the other couple to get them, they were still in their tents when we arrived. We then had to wait in a dirty kitchen to eat the breakfast of the budget camping (One fruit and one egg). We asked why we couldn't have breakfast in our initial accommodation like planned (which we btw payed 900$/night according to google), they said that it was to make sure we had more time to visit the crater since we had our flight at 1PM. We ended up waiting for one hour at this camping with backpakers. We then went to Ngorogoro and received a call saying they changed our flight from 1PM to 8pm. It was a really poor organisation. We left the crater for the airport at 3
4PM. When we did leave our "guide" quickly asked the other couple to come and have a private discussion. They talked for 20min in front of us "secretly". Later on we found out it was because the operator wanted to offer them something in exchange for their patience with the poor organisation. We didn't receive any offers. When we left for the airport the driver told us it was a 4h drive. We asked how we were supposed to get our flight, he started driving really dangerously in order to get us to the airport on time. Really dangerous. After 3 hours driving, the driver goes in a little street in Arusha that looked completely abandoned. We asked what he was doing, he told us he had to get "something from his office", we said we were afraid and we didn't like it, he stopped responding. We drove through a gate that 3 Masai men closed after us. We were trapped in a parking in Arusha surrounded by 5 men. Our driver still didn't talk and proceed to step out of the car. Then one person opened our door and told us they didn't receive our money transaction for the safari. They threatened us. We showed the proof that the money left our bank account and was send to theirs, and the fact that they didn't received it could be because international transactions can take up to 3 days. (It was the second day). After threatening us they let us go. The next day we received a text saying they did well receive the money and that they were wishing us a very merry Christmas.

Mbwana was English speaking, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area.
Mbwana tried very hard to make sure we saw everything we came here to see on our 3 days safari . Because of him , we did see everything and had a very enjoyable trip .
The food was good also .
As for the camps we stayed at:
There were no pillows in the tents, toilet paper was scarce and camp location in Serengeti had no/limited water and were not maintained but this is not the tour operators fault .
I would recommend Mbwana and Mountain Warriors to others .

Very good, organized and helpful
I had an incredible experience with Mountain Warriors tours and safaris during our safari, and I can say it was truly a wonderful and emotional journey. Everything went exactly as planned, and the organization was impeccable. The service provided by the driver and the chef was excellent, and I must highlight the amazing support and flexibility of Rehema. She was incredibly helpful, always prompt, and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. Rehema's assistance even extended beyond the safari, and her dedication made all the difference. They were fantastic!

Amazing Safari Experience with John and Mountain Warriors!
We recently completed a 3-day safari with Mountain Warriors, guided by the exceptional John, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our journey took us to the breathtaking Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and John made every moment unforgettable.
From the beginning, John took the time to ask us which animals we were most interested in seeing and made it his mission to deliver — and wow, did he deliver! We were fortunate to see herds of zebras and gazelles, but the real highlight was spotting not just one cheetah but also another with two cubs preparing to hunt!
Each day was full of remarkable wildlife encounters: lions, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, pelicans, and an array of stunning birds. On the second day, John spotted a male and female lion before anyone else did, giving us a few private and awe-inspiring minutes to watch them before the other vehicles arrived.
John’s expertise and sharp eye for wildlife were simply outstanding. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the environment enriched the experience and gave us a deeper appreciation for Tanzania’s incredible wildlife. His passion and dedication to making our safari special truly set him apart.
If you’re considering a safari, I can’t recommend John and Mountain Warriors enough. Thanks to them, we had an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations!
Thank you, John, for your outstanding guidance and for making this trip a memory we’ll treasure forever!

Good tour
Good tour, covered all of the major spots and the hotels were all decently nice. Overall a very nice holiday
Both of them had positive attitude, funny and are very knowledgeable about wildlife and safari.
We recently went on a 4-day safari, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking landscapes and the incredible wildlife we encountered. What made the experience even more special were our two guides, John and Macky. Both were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also spoke well Italian, which made the whole journey even more enjoyable for our family, especially for our kids.
Our children had a great time during the entire safari. John and Macky were patient, engaging, and always ready to answer any questions. They went out of their way to make sure the kids were involved and excited, explaining everything in a way that was both fun and educational. The kids particularly loved the up-close animal sightings, and the guides' stories about the wildlife kept them entertained throughout the trip.
The safari itself was everything we hoped for and more—vibrant wildlife, stunning scenery, and a true adventure. The guides took us to some incredible locations, ensuring we saw a variety of animals, from majestic lions to playful elephants. The overall organization was flawless, and we felt well taken care of the entire time.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure, especially for families. The combination of knowledgeable, friendly guides and the amazing wildlife made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our kids are still talking about it, and we’re already planning our next trip!

Great drivers
Amazing Safari Experience - Highly Recommended!
We recently had the pleasure of going on an Amazing Safari, and it was truly unforgettable, thanks especially to our outstanding guides, Johnny and Mark. Our group consisted of three families, split between two Jeeps.
The kids, aged 10 to 18, were in Johnny’s vehicle and had an absolute blast. Johnny’s youthful energy and ability to connect with them made the trip both fun and educational. He kept them entertained throughout and made sure they enjoyed every moment.
In the adults’ Jeep, Mark stood out for his incredible dedication and deep knowledge. Not only was he determined to help us spot as many animals as possible, but he also provided fascinating insights into their habits and behavior. His passion and expertise added so much depth to the experience, making it both exciting and enriching.
The overall organization was flawless. Everything—from flights to hotels to the safari itself—was perfectly coordinated and on time. A big congratulations to the entire team, both the guides and the office staff, for making this such a smooth and memorable experience.
We can’t recommend this safari enough. A heartfelt thank you to Johnny, Mark, and everyone involved!
