Above all expectations
5/5

I did a 4 day 3 nights safari with three parks. John my driver/guide was very good his knowledge of the animals and plants was impeccable and his driving was as safe as can be while getting close to all the animals that enabled me to get the best pictures with just my phone. I saw everything and more. The big 5 the little 5 and the ugly 5. He was able to get all my expectations and more. Even introduced new animals to me. His plant medicine was very interesting too. Then Miriam our cook/guide took camp food to a new level. Curries, fish n chips, pastas, and rice dishes were amazing Always balanced with vegetables and meat too. I’m a professional chef so trust me I know . This was both lunch dinner and breakfast was always a proper treat to eggs bread pancakes coffee tea avocado fruit and all the appropriate condiments. John and Miriam made me feel so comfortable like they were true friends. They truly are the dream team. Serengeti/Ngorgoro are a must. I will never forget this, especially hearing the lion’s roar while sleeping and a cheetah resting his paws on our back wheel was definitely a highlight let’s not forget all the amazing animals really.

Excellent
5/5

Had a 4 day safari, flew into the Serengeti, had a fabulous day's safari and were lucky to see so many animals on our first day, our driver Innocent was amazing, he got us where we needed to be to see the animals, on day 3 we had a game drive in the Ngorongoro crater which is just an amazing place in its own right, again we were lucky to see both species of Rhino, and a leopard!
On day 4 our game drive was at Tarangire were things started a little slower but eventually we got to see some fabulous sites including a few week on elephant. Overall we had the best time ever and are planning to go to do a balloon ride over the Serengeti. I will definitely be using Mountain warriors again. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Innocent is professional, personable and punctual.
5/5

TLDR: When we come back, we will use Mountian Warriors again and will arrange our trip with Innocent. He was amazing. Everything was arranged and simple. We didnt need to bring any other money with us except tips. We didn't have to worry about food or accommodations. It was stress free.

We found Mountain Warriors online and decided to give it a shot. They are not the most expensive or the cheapest option. It turned out to be great value for our money! Innocent was great. He arrived on time helped us with our bags and had drinks in the fridge waiting for us. We had a great conversation on the car ride learning about Tanzanian culture, different tribes, details about the parks we were going to visit and his kilamanjaro climbing expeditions!

At the parks we traveled to, instead of following the other drivers, Innocent took some alternate paths that allowed us to be isolated in the beauty of nature with giraffes, elephants, lions, buffalo, rhino etc. He had knowledge about the animals, the trees, and the circle of life for that park/region. Even the cities and towns we drove through, Innocent explained the meaning of the names.

The overnight hotel (Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge) that was booked for us by Mountain Warriors was stunning and we were thrilled.

I'd recommend and will book again for our next adventure

The Most Amazing Safari Experience with Mountain Warriors, John & Miriam

We had the most unforgettable 5-day safari with John from Mountain Warriors—it was truly beyond anything we could have imagined! We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and every day was packed with amazing landscapes & adventure.

Our absolute favourites were the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, including lion cubs, leopard cubs, a cheetah family, and the wildebeest migration. The amount of wildlife we saw—zebras, gazelles, elephants, hippos, and more—was just incredible.

The safari vehicle was very comfortable, and John was an exceptional guide. His knowledge, patience, and determination to find animals made the whole experience so special.

We spent two nights camping and two nights in a lodge. The camping experiences were something we’ll never forget—especially at Ngorongoro, where we shared the camp with buffalos and zebras roaming freely around tents. It was surreal how calm and peaceful they were, even just between the tents & next to people.

Tips for future travellers:
* Bring a good torch/flashlight—there’s a lot of action at night you won’t want to miss!
* Don’t leave clothes or shoes outside your tent—buffalos chewed up my daughter’s towel!
* Pack very warm clothes for the Ngorongoro area—nights get cold!
* And don’t worry if you’re nervous about camping—the tents were very clean and fully waterproof.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We can’t recommend Mountain Warriors and John enough—thank you for an extraordinary adventure!
Huge thanks to Miriam for our delicious, freshly cooked food everyday: pancakes & swahilli food meals. It was really special!

Very communicative and sorted everything we could need.
5/5

We as a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 7 year old) took a 5 day safari with Mountain Warriors with John as our guide covering the serengeti, Tarangire National Park Tanzania, ngorongoro crater and lake manyara.

This was a trip of a lifetime made even more memorable by John our guide, I highly suggest choosing the camping on the serengeti and negoragora crater as they for me were one of the higlihjts of the trip. I cannot recommend mountain warriors and John in particular to take your safari with. We got to see all the Big 5 and Ugly 5 and the knowledge passed on by John was great the serengeti is huge so there will be periods of time you will see no animals but even during those times the ambeaunce is amazing and you will soak it all in. One piece of advice, don't leave things hanging to dry outside your tent because the buffalo or hyenas will eat them 😂😂

Fantastic and adventurous
5/5

When we first looked at the price we were very iffy.
When we first met our tourguide (john) he was extremely exited to meet us and we went on. Our tourguide was happily bringing us around and happy to explain everything.
We saw the big 5 including the baby versions which was very nice.
We had breakfast every morning from 6-8 and the shef was also very kind and we had delicious food.
In the end I would say that it is completely worth it, John was the best and I give it a 5/5!!

Amazing trip to Tanzania
5/5

Our safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely perfect, and much of that credit goes to our incredible driver and guide, Innocent.

Innocent demonstrated perfect driving skills, navigating even the roughest terrains with confidence and ease. His excellent knowledge of the different parks, including detailed insights about the animals, routes, and locations, enriched every moment of our journey.

Thanks to his expertise and instincts, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five multiple times, along with many other incredible sightings.

The entire trip was perfectly organized, and Innocent's motivation and punctuality were truly impressive. He was always on time, energetic, and eager to ensure we had the best possible experience.

Overall, it was a flawless trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Innocent. Highly recommended!

Seems like he was made for the Job! It was a pleasure having you as our guide Simon :)
5/5

It was my first time in Tanzania and I was a bit worried about doing a Safari because I heard stories about wouldn‘t care about their clients and not give you a lot of inside on the nature and environment but then we met our Guide and he did his Job perfectly, answered every question and made this Trip one of the best of our lives and created a lot of memories for and with us.
The tour was great and I will definetly reccomend Mountain Warriors.

Absolutely Amazing
5/5

Absolutely amazing safari experience - we did the 3-Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Camping with Augustine as our guide and Miriam as our cook. Augustine was the best guide we could have wished for, he made the experience. He always gave details of all the animals we saw and made sure we got the best spots to see the animals, starting early some days to miss ‘traffic’ and to give us the best experience and chance to see animals as possible. Miriam was an amazing chef, making the best food we have had in Tanzania/Zanzibar on a gas stove in the Serengeti! Rosemary was really helpful at organising our tour and came to see us the day before to check we were ready to go.
