An unforgettable experience
We spent four truly unforgettable days on safari, and a huge part of what made this experience so special was our guide, Mike.
From the very beginning, Mike was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. He told us that he is passionate about nature and wildlife, and throughout the entire four-day safari he truly showed us just how much he loves what he does. He was extremely knowledgeable about every animal we encountered and, beyond simply identifying the different species, he always shared interesting facts, characteristics and little curiosities that made every sighting even more fascinating.
The safari itself was absolutely top-notch: dynamic, engaging and never boring. We even had some “study moments” and fun little quizzes created by Mike to see if we had been paying attention and remembered what he had taught us. It was a fun and original way to involve us and made the whole experience feel much more interactive.
We were lucky enough to see all the animals we had hoped for, and we are extremely satisfied with the experience. Mike’s passion, knowledge and enthusiasm definitely made these four days even more memorable.
If we could mention one small area for improvement at the agency level, it would be the availability of replacement vehicles. If a vehicle breaks down, having to wait for the same vehicle to be repaired can unfortunately cause some inconvenience for both the guide and the clients, and during a safari this can mean losing valuable time. Having a backup vehicle available could therefore make an already great service even more efficient and reassuring.
Overall, an amazing experience that we would absolutely recommend. A special thank you to Mike for making these four days so enjoyable, educational and unforgettable!

A True Warrior
We took the mountain warriors up Kilimanjaro, and we were very happy with the team - a group of true warriors that helped us in every moment. We successfully climbed up the mountain.

We saw the big 5, thank you Meliaki!
We loved the convenience and ease of all of the travel and organisation. We were picked up and dropped off door to door to and from Zanzibar which allowed us to relax and avoid any stress during the transportation. I had some specific requests to fly on certain airlines, these requests were respected with no issues. Thank you Mary for allowing all of this.
Meliaki was an outstanding tour guide. From excellent driving standards to detailed knowledge of the wildlife, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We truly felt in great hands.
The itinerary was excellent. We loved the variation of the 3 parks we visited on each day & also being able to spend the whole day in ngorongoro was a highlight.
To improve, the quality of the second hotel (Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge) was below are expectations. Our room was located down a very steep and long hill far away from the main hotel and the food was poor, however the lunch they provided was much better.
Overall we would definitely recommend the people at mountain warriors and would definitely choose them if we ever do a safari again, thank you very much.

Amazing the best experience wow
Hi, we booked the trip of four people in a lodge for two days in the Safari
We got a guide named Moses and he was the nicest person ever, listened to everything, gave us drinks and the full experience including explanation about the interesting tribes. We saw every animal even lions and a leopard. Would definitely recommend. There are different packages with different prices. And they gave us the best feet the lodge was beautiful. Wow..

The day before the safari they said the group was full.
We booked a safari a month in advance. The evening before the safari, when we were already in Arusha, they said they were fully booked and could offer another group starting at 3 am (groups usually start at 5 or 6 am). We declined. We had to look for a new safari company that evening; many were already booked for the morning, so we were very lucky to find one. At least they refunded the deposit quickly, so thank you for that.

great trip, excellent responsive service
This was a really great trip. 2 day safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire and Ngorogoro crater.
Everything was organised really well by Brian who was always incredibly responsive and flexible throughout.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nungwi early (4.30am) and taken to Zanzibar airport for transfer to Arusha. We were then picked up and transferred to the safari jeep and taken to Tarangire, where we saw elephants, lions, zebras, buffalo, meerkats, warthogs, wildebeest and a very curious giraffe all very close up.
Our guides Omar and Alex were excellent.
Our second day was at the Ngorogoro crater and felt a quite different - but equally special - experience with it being a vast plain. We even managed to see Rhino, a (failed!) lion attack on a zebra herd, hippos, coyotes, flamingos and so many other big animals all living together.
Our flight back was at 8.30 from Kilimanjaro airport and we got to the hotel for 11pm safaris didn't feel rushed despite the long travel distances

Great
Everything went well and almost as planned (there were some issues with the car) we just missed some game drive time, but nothing too serious. Not the company's fault.
Our driver Selestine was excellent and very professional. Rosemary also helped with everything we needed.
A good safari company overall.
Excellent safari, great guide Michael 5 stars.One star lost for misunderstanding with the office
The safari was great. The guide Michael very commited to show us the best and to satisfy our requests. The lodges and the tent camps were confortable and in good positions. Just a ..misuderstanding with the office at the end of the safari, with a request of extra money, make loose a star to the experience.

The most badass man at south of the serengeti, our dazzle
Amazing experience, thanks to Gama we were able to see all the big fives in two days. Our guide also made sure that we had the best experience possible providing support for every our need. Our accommodations were excellent both for the locations and services ( shoutout to Braddy from the Mountain Warriors tent camp ) . I’d say that we paid a fair price for the experience and I would really recommend it to everyone !!

An Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Trek & Safari – The Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently took an 8-day trek along the Lemosho Route to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Mountain Warriors, followed by a 3-day safari. Because we were the only ones who had booked during this period, Mountain Warriors ran the entire trek just for the two of us, making it a completely personalized experience. We could not have asked for a better team—from start to finish, we felt completely safe, comfortable, and deeply cared for.
Our guides, Sam and Justin, were immediately warm, trustworthy, and likeable. Open communication was a top priority for them throughout the entire journey. They enriched every day not only with their amazing personalities, but also with their vast knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and culture. They cared for us with the utmost professionalism and genuine warmth.
The entire porter crew was incredibly friendly and always eager to help. We lacked absolutely nothing! Even though we are vegetarian, our cook, Obama, catered to our diet perfectly—the food morning, noon, and night was delicious, and clean drinking water was always available. Since I get cold easily at night, William always brought me a hot water bottle in the evenings, which was such a thoughtful touch.
Everyday some of the porterd came back to meet us on the track to take our backpacks even though they have already been to the camp! Hasan and Rajabu should definitely get the chance to be a guide as well!
One of the highlights was Sam’s suggestion to do summit day during the daytime to avoid the extreme nighttime cold. It was hands down the best idea! It allowed us to pace ourselves comfortably without any crowds on the trail, and we ended up having the entire summit all to ourselves. When my husband suffered from altitude sickness, Sam and Justin stayed completely calm and, together with Rajabu and Hasan, safely helped him reach the top. Even after the summit, the entire team continued to take amazing care of us including Hasan!
To top it all off, on our last evening on the mountain, Obama surprised us with a freshly baked cake for our honeymoon, and the whole crew sang for us. We genuinely could not have imagined a better crew!
Following our trek, we set off early in the morning for a 3-day safari, spending two nights in luxury tented camps in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The chosen accommodations were unique and extremely comfortable. Our driver, Aslam, was an absolute expert with incredible experience. He shared fascinating insights about every animal and managed to show us the Big Five because he knew precisely where to look.
We are beyond happy with our experience with Mountain Warriors and highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Tanzania. We made memories for a lifetime and already miss Sam, Justin, and the entire crew!
