Very organized, pleasant and a great driver.
This trip was quite the adventure! Lots of fun and so interesting. Our tour guide Jackson, was sweet, helpful, knowledgeable, respectful of other people and of the animals, and a great driver on the crazy roads. We saw all the animals I hoped to and up very close. I have wonderful photos using just my phone. Each park is different and all beautiful with so much ground to cover so long days on bumpy roads, but you see a lot. I'm vegan and they were able to accommodate my food needs. Some was better than others, but overall I was very pleased. If you go on a safari and aren't paying top dollar, you need to understand that you get what you pay for. Our vehicle had no seatbelts and no headrests. Also one of the doors wouldn't close and even after a couple of attempts at a roadside garage to fix it, we ended up having to tie it closed with twine. But that is all part of the experience that makes it interesting. There is also a lot that happens that isn't always communicated. Again, they know what's going on and as a guest, you just kind of go with the flow. All things to keep in mind, but that just makes it a more interesting experience. All went well on our trip and I was going solo and had a wonderful group of people to travel with, four of us, one from Australia, two from China, and me from the United States. We bonded. Then two more people were added for the last leg and that was not communicated, but again, part of the experience. Everyone was very kind and tried to make your experience a great one. Tip your guides, they work hard. Thank you to George at Jupicon who was so helpful. He tries to make your experience the best it can be within your budget. I would highly recommend if you want a great adventure!

They provide professional, worry-free safari journeys in Tanzania
I recently completed a 7-day, 6-night safari in Tanzania with Festo as our guide, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
From the very first day, Festo was incredibly responsible and made sure every part of our itinerary ran smoothly. We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five, and the most magical moment came on a sunset evening when we mentioned wanting to photograph lions in the golden light. He went out of his way to track down several lions for us, and we came away with some truly unforgettable photos.
His knowledge of the Serengeti is unmatched—he knows every road and hidden path like the back of his hand, and we never once got lost, even without clear landmarks. His driving skills are top-tier too; our vehicle didn’t have a single issue the entire trip, even as we saw many other cars breaking down along the way. What stood out most was his kindness: whenever he saw other drivers in trouble, he would stop to help them without hesitation.
This safari wouldn’t have been half as special without Festo. If you’re planning a Tanzania adventure, he is the guide to choose.

Herbert was extremely knowledgeable, found all the right camps, and was great for finding the big 5.
The value was great for the experience. Between the Severin camp in the middle of Tsavo West, and a private plunge pool at Tsavo East, we had the best accommodations.
He helped us out with train tickets from Nairobi to Mombasa, and all in all, great guide, delivered on promise, and would book again.

Great experience
Overall, I really enjoyed the safari. It was a whole new experience. We got close to the animals, which was amazing. The nature in both Serengeti and Ngorongoro is crazy beautiful. It is absolutely worth the trip. Our driver, Victor, was a great driver. I felt safe in the car at all times. He also had a lot of knowledge about the animals and the surroundings. He could answer any question, and learned us a lot of facts which I loved!
The first day was however a bit messy. The transfertime to Serengeti took way longer than it was supposed to, according to misunderstandings or poor planning. But apart from that, I am really happy with this experience. I would 100% recommend.

Mountain Warriors is the best
I made a reservation with this company because they had the best price/service ratio, with some reservations. However, during the 3 days spent in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, Victor, the guide He gave explanations and stopped at each group of animals to give descriptions of them. We slept the 2 nights in a tent, provided with sleeping bags and everything we needed. The food was very good.

A superbly organized trip with a great tour guide and good individual support beforehand.
The accommodations were excellently chosen and the flight bookings were flawless. Our guide made the most of our trip; we were able to see the Big Five and countless other animals up close. He always managed to get us to the best vantage points. Overall, a fantastic experience!
Incredible Experience of a Lifetime
I had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish. The customer service was excellent throughout, and I was genuinely blown away that the owner personally joined me on the safari—such a rare and thoughtful touch that made the experience feel very special and personal.
Our driver was fantastic—funny, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to find the animals and shared great insights about their behavior and habitats, which made the whole experience even more meaningful.
The village visit was probably the least enjoyable part of the trip, but it was still interesting to see and learn how the local community lives, even if it felt a bit less comfortable or polished compared to the rest of the experience.
The stay at Serena Lodge was beautiful—comfortable, peaceful, and perfectly set in a stunning location. Food was buffet style and a ton of variety. Monkeys were outside my back door! It was a great place to relax after the safari days.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend for anyone wanting a well-run, personal, and memorable safari adventure.
