Fantastic operator - exceeded our expectations
5/5

Two friends of mine and I booked a 4 day Safari (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire) with Mountain Warriors. The tour exceeded our expectations in each and every aspect. Starting with the booking process we received all the information very quickly, precisely and accurate.
On the tour itself the accommodation, the food, the car and the driving style of our driver were simply perfect.
Everything worked very smoothly and we got to see a lot of animals and wildlife which our driver could explain very well to us.
On top of that we found it very sweet and appreciated that the team shared the rest of our food with kids along the way.
Overall we can fully recommend the company as well as the tour and we would definitely choose them again for any other tour. Thanks a lot to the whole Mountain Warriors team!!

The 6-day Safari tour with Mountain Warriors was great experience. Everything was organised perfectly, the guide was very professional and had a lot information about animals. Food was amazing and everything was included in the price. Sleeping in a tent in Serengeti was unforgettable experience.

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

I did a 3 day camping safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Nationalpark and it was amazing. The communication was really fast and friendly. Pick up from my hostel without problems. Our driver Meliaki was really passionate about finding a lot of animals and patient whenever we wanted to stop. David, our chef, was also exceptional good and cooked us the best meals. I booked this tour alone as a female solo traveler and ended up being in a group of six with amazing people.
The only thing I would do different is to bring more snack because we got really hungry in between meals and warmer clothes because it does get cold ( end December )
Great experience! Asante sana!

Very helpful and professional - had an amazing experience
5/5

We had a great experience with Mouintain warriors, from the beginning to end. Felt safe and organized. Rosemary were very helpful helping us arrange the trip, customized after our wishes. Friendly and easy going. She helped us book everything and the trip went smoothly. Always there to answer questions. The safari was amazing. Our guide Simone really had knowledge about Serengeti and he had many friends in the park, reporting good sights over the radio. We learned a lot about the animals. We recommend you to stay in a lodge (tent) for a fantastic wildlife experience at night.
We saw 4/5 of the big five. Missed the leopard (it was raining a lot). However we enjoyed the trip. It’s a memory for life. Great food, comfortable car all day. First day we were able to see cheetahs. Also experienced a lion pack hunt and eat a gazelle, a rare sighting thanks to our guide. Got great photos and memories.

Team providing very friendly and professional service
5/5

It was a trip I had been preparing for and waiting for for a very long time. I coordinated my schedule by email in advance and the company responded kindly and quickly. They took care of allowing me to stay at the hotel and on the date I wanted according to my budget. ‘Simon’, who drove us throughout the tour, is an excellent driver. I hope more people meet these Mountain Warriors. Love Tanzania!!

5/5

It was a great Serengeti tour thanks to the fantastic course, schedule, and very friendly Simon. They were considerate to see various animals, and I was able to tour the Serengeti with my excellent driving skills. The staff at all the accommodations were kind, too. I would recommend Mountain Warriors company to others, too.

5/5

We had an amazing safari trip with Mountain Warriors. We completed a 2 day/1 night Safari to Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire National Park. Our drivers had a wealth of knowledge about all of the animals we encountered during the game drives. The guides were excellent at spotting animals throughout the park and we're very determined to find the animals for us throughout the safari. The food provided was very good and the lodge we stayed in was very comfortable. I would highly recommend a tour with Mountain Warriors.

Professional and Unforgettable. We feel like we found a new family.
5/5

Words can’t express how grateful I am for the experience Mountain Warriors gave my wife and me. It was truly the highlight of an unforgettable honeymoon in Tanzania. Although this was our first and only safari trip, and we do not have anything to compare it to, it is difficult to imagine that anyone else could have served us better.

Mountain Warrior’s professionalism began months ago during the booking process. Rehema was always quick to answer my questions on WhatsApp, and Mountain Warriors’ rates were the most competitive. Their package for a 4-day camping safari was less than all the 3-day offers I received from their competitors.

As for the safari itself, our guide, Rogarth, was phenomenal. Not only does he have boundless knowledge of all the animals in Tanzania and the local tribes, but his passion for what he does made the entire experience even more rewarding. In the Serengeti, we observed a lion who had taken down a large zebra only moments before. Rogarth spotted the scene from miles away before bringing us to it, and soon, we were the only car in eyesight to witness this incredible spectacle. He knew exactly how to position us so that elephants passed immediately in front of the vehicle or came very close by. He also drove to our original hotel, picked up our luggage, and dropped it off at the hotel we booked after the safari, which he did not need to do.

Rogarth’s humor was also a pleasant surprise, as was his ability to navigate all the personalities that comprised our unique and eccentric group. It is a testament to his abilities that we all felt like a family so quickly instead of complete strangers who had to share a full jeep with all of our luggage for twelve hours a day.

Mariam, our chef, also exceeded our expectations. She woke up at 4:00 am every morning to prepare us a restaurant-quality breakfast and lunch. She also cooked dinner each night upon our arrival at the campsites. At our request, she even made a local Tanzanian dinner on the third night, which was a unique and rewarding opportunity for us. Mariam also has a talent for preparing food I never thought would be so portable and tasty while camping, including pizza, pasta, and chapatti!

Admittedly, joining a shared tour can be confusing. One of the other guests had actually booked with another safari operator. Yet, they switched her to our vehicle for the four-day safari. Additionally, there were some itinerary changes a few hours before we left. However, we still saw everything we had planned for, and the changes actually improved our overall experience. All of this is probably to be expected, given that we are in Tanzania. Ultimately, it is impressive to see how all the different safari operators work together to ensure one another’s success—especially their radio conversations over where recent animal sightings are.

Camping this way can also be shocking. The herds of water buffalo that strolled into the camp after dinner by Ngorongoro were mesmerizing but also intimidating. As were the hyenas that woke campers in the Serengeti up to fight over scraps in the camp. Outside of that, the tents and facilities were quite nice for public campsites and served as a pleasant reminder that these environments are still primarily the domain of local wildlife. Despite this, we always felt that we were in good hands, and it was liberating to let Rogarth and Mountain Warriors take the wheel (both physically and metaphorically) for this part of our honeymoon.

Overall, we are incredibly grateful to the Mountain Warriors professionals for providing such an incredible safari to highlight our honeymoon. To anyone else booking, we recommend adding the Serengeti to your itinerary, even though it adds a lot of time.

Asante sana, Rogarth, Mariam and Rehema
