A Grand Dream Dashed
Exploring the Serengeti is a rare opportunity—a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone. I am writing this review in the hope that no one else falls victim to the same experience I did.
The consultation with the Mountain Warriors staff was prompt and courteous. However, the guide they assigned to us was the problem. Now that the trip is over, I am more convinced than ever that the quality of the guide is the single most important factor in a safari tour. Let me be clear: the guide provided by Mountain Warriors was the absolute worst.
He caused trouble right from day one. He disregarded our itinerary; despite the fact that we had already paid for specific accommodations, he tried to take us to a completely different, unsuitable place. Even though we were in the middle of the savanna with a poor signal, I managed to contact the Mountain Warriors staff to challenge this. Yet, he insisted on taking us to that strange location anyway. It was only after we lodged a strong protest that he finally drove us to our originally scheduled accommodation.
On the second day, during our game drive in Central Serengeti, we failed to see a *single* predator—this in an area known for having the highest concentration of predators. It was a disaster. The guide did not use any radio communication equipment provided in the vehicle. He seemed unable to communicate with the other guides at all. He only interacted with other guides when they stopped a passing vehicle to ask for directions; in other words, he was completely unfamiliar with the geography of the Serengeti.
The worst incident occurred during a game drive in Ngorongoro. Using binoculars, I spotted a spot in the distance where a multitude of vehicles had created a traffic jam. I used my camera’s 100x zoom to capture the scene and showed it to him, saying, "Something is happening over there; let's go." He dismissed it, claiming, "They’re just looking at flamingos." I was dumbfounded. Would so many cars really gather just to see flamingos, which are abundant everywhere? It didn't take long to confirm I was right. After constantly seeing common animals like zebras and wildebeests, we happened to pass by "that spot." And what was happening there? A pride of lions had hunted an antelope and was feeding on the carcass! We had missed not only the hunt itself but also the precious moment of the mother lion feeding her cubs.
What more is there to say? The fact that the guide wasn't fluent in English wasn't even the main issue. The real problem was encountering such an unprofessional and negligent guide on what was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime safari tour—one we had paid a hefty price for. This falls entirely on Mountain Warriors. Throughout the trip—which we had embarked on with such high expectations—we felt nothing but displeasure and disappointment; my wife even ended up crying in the vehicle.
I could never recommend this company. Even a refund wouldn't heal the hurt my family suffered.

A Perfect Trip
We went on a seven-day safari tour visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Our guide, Innocent, was professional and friendly, while Helena from the sales team was quick to respond and effectively resolved any issues.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro & Safari Experience with Mountain Warriors
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Mountain Warriors and would highly recommend them to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro!
From the very beginning, everything was handled perfectly. Our communication with Ruth before the trip was excellent. She was always clear, helpful and quick to respond. This gave us a lot of confidence and made the whole process very easy.
Our 8 day Lemosho trek was truly unforgettable. Our guides, Sam and Chewy, were fantastic. They didn’t just guide us up the mountain, they really took us into the experience and made us feel connected to the mountain. Every day, they gave us a detailed explanation of what to expect the following day, which made us feel well prepared and comfortable throughout the entire trek.
A special mention also has to go to our chef, Obama. The food was absolutely delicious! There was always more than enough, with plenty of variety, and it was honestly amazing what he managed to prepare for us every day in the middle of the mountains.
One of the best pieces of advice we received from Sam and Chewy was to do the final hike to Uhuru Peak during the daytime rather than at night. This turned out to be the perfect decision for us. The trail was much quieter, it wasn’t nearly as cold, and we could really enjoy the incredible surroundings instead of focusing on the freezing temperatures. We are so grateful they recommended this option to us.
And of course, a huge thank you to all the porters. They work incredibly hard every day and carry so much of the heavy equipment. Their contribution is absolutely essential, and we have enormous respect and appreciation for everything they did for us.
We also booked a 3 day safari through Mountain Warriors to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and this was another fantastic experience. Everything was very well organised, and we had an incredible time seeing the wildlife and landscapes. A big thank you to our guide Maly for making the safari such a great experience.
Overall, Mountain Warriors gave us an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the first contact with Ruth, to the incredible guides, chef and porters, everything was handled with care and professionalism.
Thank you so much to the entire Mountain Warriors team for an amazing Kilimanjaro adventure and safari. We would absolutely recommend Mountain Warriors to anyone dreaming of reaching the top of Kilimanjaro! ❤️🇹🇿
