Amazing safari experience!
5/5

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!

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.

Amazing adventure with our great guide Augustine and amazing cook Miriam
5/5

Mountain Warriors is an outstanding tour operator for safaris. Their expertise is impressive, with Augustine as our guide—he brings decades of experience and deep knowledge of the parks. Miriam, on the other hand, prepared delicious meals that truly warmed our hearts throughout the journey.
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire National Parks, and were lucky enough to spot over 43 different species, including four of the Big Five. I highly recommend them for an unforgettable safari experience.

Amazing Safari experience with our guide John!
5/5

We had the best 3 day experience with our guide John. It started in Tarangire national park where we saw lots of elephants, giraffes and even lion. Then we saw beautiful Ngorongoro which probably was my favorite of the days. The view was breathtaking and the amount of animals were abundant. We ended the whole experience in Manyara national park where we saw monkeys, elephants, impalas. The Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. I would really recommend this experience, it was incredible start to end!

3 day excellent Safari with the best tour guide John
5/5

Our 3-day safari in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater was truly unforgettable, and much of that was thanks to our incredible guide, John. From the start, it was obvious that John knew the parks inside and out. His knowledge of the wildlife and the landscapes made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
In the Serengeti, we saw so many animals up close—lions, elephants bathing, giraffes, hippos, zebras and we even spotted a leopard, which was a real highlight for me. The Ngorongoro Crater didn’t disappoint either. One of the most memorable moments was seeing the rarely spotted black rhino.
The accommodations throughout the trip were great. After long days of exploring, we had a comfortable place to rest, and the food was delicious.
John made sure we felt safe and at ease throughout the whole trip. This safari was a trip of a lifetime, and I’m so grateful to John for making it even more special. Highly recommend it!

However, the only downside was that the organization changed one of our accommodations before the safari, despite us having paid for a more expensive option. It wasn’t a huge issue, but it was a little frustrating.
