Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari with Mountain Warriors and Mbwana!
When choosing a safari agency, I reached out to three or four agencies to request quotes and itineraries. Initially, I opted for a standard package, but since this was our honeymoon, I suggested some adjustments, including staying at luxury accommodations. I didn’t have specific names in mind for the lodges at first, so I simply shared pictures of luxury lodges I found online, describing the vibe and quality I was looking for. Mountain Warriors’ sales officer, Loveness Peter, perfectly understood my preferences and patiently revised the itinerary to address all my detailed questions. Her responsiveness and attention to detail made it easy for me to confidently choose Mountain Warriors.
Throughout the safari, our guide, Mbwana, exceeded all expectations. His flexibility and dedication were remarkable—driving for over ten hours a day while constantly scanning the surroundings and staying in touch with other guides via radio to locate rare wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed incredible moments: five lions surrounding a buffalo, two of the 24 critically endangered black rhinos in Ngorongoro, and an elephant grazing just three meters away from us.
Mountain Warriors also went the extra mile by coordinating with all the lodges to make our honeymoon special. We are especially grateful to Signiture and Lion’s Paw lodges for surprising us with song-and-dance celebrations and a honeymoon cake!
Having visited Africa many times and experienced safaris in other countries, I can confidently say this was an unparalleled adventure. It was my husband’s first visit to Africa, and he was equally blown away. This honeymoon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we will undoubtedly recommend Mountain Warriors to all our friends and family.
A big thank you to the Mountain Warriors team for making our honeymoon unforgettable, and special thanks to Mbwana for his exceptional guiding skills. Wishing Mountain Warriors continued success in delivering amazing safaris and all the best to Mbwana!

AMAZING
I had the most amazing three-day safari with Pound East, and I can’t recommend them enough! Loyce was an exceptional guide who led our group of 10 with professionalism, expertise, and passion. Every detail of the trip was well-organized, making it a seamless and unforgettable experience!

Highly recommended
Very professionally run business, everything was neatly planned from start to finish, high value for money, food was great. My friends and I did the 4 day safari that covers Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We slept in tents, which was an amazing experience (especially hearing the animals serenading at night). It felt safe and we received good instructions on do’s and don’ts before the night fell. This is an experience of a lifetime, and I would not hesitate to book.

Amazing safari, very responsive service
Beverlyn from African Hartebeest Safaris did a great job in organising our safari. We were late in planning the trip, and she sorted out everything in only a couple of days.
The safari itself, in Maasai Mara, was amazing. We saw everything we hoped for and more. Our guide Jonathan knew all the good spots.
After the safari, we travelled a bit more in Kenya (self-organised). Beverlyn was also great in helping us out then - for example finding drivers on short notice when our own previous plans fell through. The solution was always just a few text messages away.
In summary, we can really recommend the experience - very reactive, able to accommodate extra wishes, a true problem-solver, and good value for money.

The best decision ever!!!
We almost didn't book with Telly Safari. Due to some miscommunication. And I'm so glad we waited and booked with them.
They took care of everything
Flights, accomodation, food, car, guide...
And everything was perfect!
It's our honeymoon and we're sorry to only have booked 4 days, 3 nights.
We went from Zanzibar to Seronera and it was amazing flying bush planes where the plane was the one chasing the zebras out of the runway 🤣🤣
When we got to Seronera, Aaron was waiting for us with an amazing Toyota ready to start our Safari
The car had everything. Confy pillows on the seats , water and coke in a mini fridge, binoculares for us to use and even power plugs to charge our phones if needed.
The open/close top was also a big plus to see the animals and take pictures.
We saw 4 of the big 5 (only the leopard was missing) and 5 of the ugly 5!!
It was amazing
We saw lion cubs, lionesses sleeping by the road, hippos sleeping and swimming, 2 black rhinos, warthog with babies, hiennas sleeping, chitah! A lot of giraffes!!
Aaron was an amazing guide! Always with a smile, an explanation and a lot of patience for all our questions and stops for pictures
The hotels booked by them were to die for!!
All of them uniques, with amazing rooms, the food was excellent and the staff was super friendly!
And they even made us small surprises for our honeymoon
We were sad to say goodbye to Aaron but we'll definitely be back for more days and we'll want Aaron again!
THANK YOU!!!!

Suspicious about the money
We had a mixed experience with Bongo, easy booking and communication, and our safari driver was nice and helpful. But on the day, before going home, the owner called and said he could not transfer money for our hotel stay and asked me to pay for it, and he would pay me back, i accepted since i had no choice but thought it was wierd, he would meet me the same day at where i was staying and give me the money, but he showed up an hour too late and did not have the money, i insisted that he would bring it the next day and he accepted it, but if we had gone home the day after, we would never have seen that money again, we called him all day the next day and he finally showed up with the money, mixed experience, felt very unsure and thought i had lost alot of money. Would not book again.

I felt conned by Catherine
Catherine refused to refund me my money and ignored my calls. She had promised to refund me my money. I started doubting her and lacking peace when she was rushing me to give her the full amount.

Very organised and professional, great service
Our tour was tailored to suit exactly what we wanted. The response time was very quick and answered all my questions before we booked anything. The reservation and payment process was simple. The tour was very well reasonably priced compared to to others we had looked at and they were very open to changing the schedule to match exactly what our requirements were,
Our driver arrived promptly on the first day at our Nairobi hotel and gave us gifts from the company which was a lovely touch. Our boys loved the jeep and the on board water dispenser!
The tour itself was very well organised and ran like clock work. Its a very slick operation. I'd definitley recommend Safari tours - efficient, well-organised and excellent value for money.
