A great safari, with a few bumps in the road (literally).
Mountain Warriors provided us with a memorable experience. We had the chance to see plenty of wildlife, enjoy long but worthwhile drives, and stay in accommodation ranging from good to excellent. Of particular note was our stay at the Warriors Luxury Tented Lodge! The staff were excellent and the food was by far the best we had during our tour. Our driver and guide, Victor, was great fun and handled things with good humour and professionalism. His insights greatly enhanced our experience.
One area in which the company could improve would be to communicate better after the booking has been confirmed. We had to actively ask for basic information that should have been provided.
Our main disappointment was the ‘upgrade’ from accommodation inside the Ngorongoro Crater to somewhere outside the park. The extra 2 hours driving time and later descent into the crater hardly felt like an upgrade. Thankfully, Victor helped us to rebook accommodation inside the park.
The visit to the Maasai village was less informative than we had hoped, and the focus on collecting reviews occasionally felt excessive. The company also overlooked our requests for a more authentic Maasai experience.
Overall, however, it was a very good safari, with fantastic wildlife, comfortable accommodation and an excellent driver and guide Victor.

Great safari experience thanks to Victor!
Overall, we had a wonderful safari and are very happy with our trip. We are giving 5 stars primarily because of our driver and guide, Victor, who we highly recommend. He is knowledgeable, charismatic, and very engaging, and we truly loved spending time with him! He shared a lot of valuable information throughout the trip, always drove safely, and even helped us resolve an issue with our accommodation reservation. He really did everything possible to ensure we had a great experience, showing us all the animals with a fantastic attitude every day. Also, the lunches provided throughout the safari were always delicious!
A quick note regarding pre-trip organization for future travelers:
- Pre-trip Communication: After paying the deposit, office communication became quite sparse. We felt there was a lack of interest in tailoring specific requests— such as finding an authentic Maasai Boma that wasn't just a tourist trap.
- Final Details: A few days before departure, we still hadn't received details about the pickup schedule or final payment procedures, which caused unnecessary stress.
Lodge Locations: Ideally, route optimization is something you would expect the agency to manage seamlessly, but it is worth double-checking the location of your assigned lodges against the itinerary to avoid unnecessary extra driving time.
Despite these initial planning hurdles, the safari itself was fantastic once we were on the road, mainly thanks to Victor. We definitely recommend the experience!

Great Guide with amazing tour
We had an amazing safari experience and were very satisfied with the tour overall. Our guide was excellent – very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made the game drives enjoyable and was always doing his best to give us the best possible experience.
The accommodations were also very good and met our expectations. One of the absolute highlights was seeing all of the Big Five. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we would definitely recommend this safari.
Whenever we needed anything, we were helped as quickly as possible. This was also the case with the organization – everyone was always very helpful and genuinely made an effort to make our trip as enjoyable and smooth as possible.
If we had to mention one small area for improvement, it would be communication regarding the overall organization of the trip. This is definitely not a criticism of our guide, who communicated very well with us during the safari. We would simply have appreciated receiving a little more information proactively, especially regarding arrival, departure, and other logistical details. In some cases, we had to ask for information ourselves that we would have found helpful to receive in advance.
That being said, whenever we asked, the organization responded quickly and helped us with whatever we needed. Overall, we were very happy with the safari and are grateful for the wonderful experience!

Excellent value with a premium experience
Our guide, Mbwana, is an experienced and steady gentleman. From day one to the very last, he provided us with exceptional service. His knowledge of Tanzanian culture and wild animal behavior was outstanding. We were lucky enough to witness the wildebeest river crossing three times within 24 hours, spotted the cheetahs we had missed in Kenya, and even saw a rhino right next to our vehicle on the final day.
We felt incredibly fortunate to have him guide us through Tanzania. His humor, cheerful enthusiasm, and professional dedication brought our African journey to a perfect, regret-free close. We whole-heartedly recommend this guide, who always puts his guests first.
Here, we would also like to express our gratitude to Loveness for her support. Throughout our email communications, she always answered our questions with great patience and provided impeccable accommodations as well as an incredible guide.
Great experience
We saw all the animals and David was great, We couldn’t have asked for a better driver!
The lodge and hotel were perfectly aligned for the days we had one in the bush and one with pool perfect after a long drive
The lunches and dinners were particularly good!
