5/5 with a couple caveats..
The whole safari portion of our trip was wonderful. Our guide Joseph was amazing, and very accommodating. He would always figure out a way to help us get closer to the animals while staying respectful to the wildlife and other drivers. We got to know him very well during our 6 day safari and he was a delight to get to know. Taught us so much about the way of life in Africa as much as the wildlife. We accomplished seeing the Big 5.
Mountain Warriors company was also easy to book and navigate. Ruth was very responsive any time I would message her, no matter what time of day. The communication leading up to the trip could have been better though. I had to be the one to keep reaching out to follow up with our booking, and making sure everything was still good to go. I probably wouldn’t have heard from Mountain Warriors again after the deposit was paid, until we arrived into Africa. I also had to reach out to ask for an invoice a couple of times from our deposit, weeks after paying. It would have given us more peace of mind if the company had reached out leading up or prior to our trip to make sure all is well with our booking, and what to expect leading up to arrival. Other companies our friends were with seemed to require more prior to the trip to make sure you were set up with everything you needed. I was also easily able to switch out some accommodations that were initially offered. I did my own research for some more luxurious lodges and Ruth accommodated those requests with no problems.
I had also requested a specific guide we had read reviews about, and Ruth said it would be no problem at the time. At the beginning of our safari, we ended up having a different guide at arrival with no warning or explanation beforehand. No complaints about Joseph though. We loved him - but again, just the communication on behalf of the company. It was only then mentioned that specific guide was busy, after I had asked about it at the debriefing. I still wouldn’t have made a fuss if it was mentioned prior, but then it wouldn’t have been a surprise. It seems to be more of a “just pay and show up” kind of group. We only had our itinerary that was given to us as proposal when initially inquiring with the group to follow up with. The travel times on the itinerary were also a bit off, we drove a lot longer than what was scheduled, and we didn’t actually get a half game drive on our first day of the Serengeti because we stayed inside Tarangire National Park (which should have been accounted for since the company should know where it is) and because we needed to get the car checked to make sure it was equipped for the Serengeti roads, (which we agreed to the evening before) but should have been organized to do so prior to picking up clients in the first place. In addition to that, we also needed to pick up our luggage in the Serengeti airport. So we really only had 1.5 days in the Serengeti during our 6 day safari. I would have opted to stay longer in the Serengeti, and removed Lake Manyara. Another company had mentioned not even visiting that park at all.
I’ll still give 5 stars because everything still worked out for us, and my husband and I can go with the flow. Nothing detrimentally put a wrench in our experience. My husbands luggage didn’t arrive with us, and he didn’t have his luggage for the first 2 days of the safari, but Ruth quickly helped us get his bag to us faster and was delivered to us at the Serengeti air strip so we were thankful for that. Overall organization could’ve been better, but you get what you pay for! It would have been nice to have some more insight on where it was better to fly in and out of as well, so you could reduce driving time between parks. Still had a great trip.

Fantastic!!! It far exceeded our expectations
In short: fantastic!!! It far exceeded our expectations. We booked an all-inclusive safari with Helena from Mountain Warriors. We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar and safely dropped back off after the safari. Everything in between was truly amazing. Every detail was taken care of: plenty of food and drinks, and a wonderful place to stay. And then there was the driver—Obedinego Ernest Palgyo. This man truly made our trip special; he showed us the most beautiful spots and really pampered us. Plus, what a driver he is! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Are you planning to book a safari? Look no further—this is the place to go. We highly recommend Mountain Warriors. Thanks again for this unforgettable experience. Best regards, Bernadet & Geert

The best Safari experience I could ever wish for.
After much research, I chose Mountain Warriors amongst the hundreds of Safari companies. I have to say they exceeded my expectations. Rehema, who designed and scheduled my holiday was always online to answer my endless stream of questions and nothing was too much trouble. She is a diamond. As for our guide, Mike was incredible from start to finish. His knowledge, professionalism and friendliness helped make this trip truly awe inspiring and special. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and helped shape a really successful itinerary. Asante Sana Rehema and Mike. You are the best.

Good
We had a good communication when we organized from home. Mary Was kind and give us all the informations we needed and answered vero quickly. They had some problems with organizations because they want to film the jeep and we are a couple. So basically they form the group in the jeep even if you have different plans and accomodation. For this reason they changed a little bit our plan. Aniway everithing went good. Our guide, victor Was really Nice and prepared. The cook , miriam was really Nice and we enjoyed the food and the company. We had a problem with the car but they solved the situation very quickly. We did 4 nights/5 days safari.

We had the best time and the everyone was so helpful
We had an amazing safari experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tanzania. We chose the mid-range safari option, and the accommodation was fantastic, comfortable, well-located, and exceeded our expectations.
Our driver, Isaya, was brilliant throughout the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best possible experience. We saw lots of incredible animals, and it was great that Isaya allowed us to decide what time we wanted to head out each day, giving us the flexibility to enjoy the safari at our own pace.
I’m a picky eater, but the staff were very accommodating and made sure there were meals I could enjoy.
The service, organisation, accommodation, and overall experience were excellent. We had an unforgettable safari and would definitely recommend it. Evaline was amazing and answered all my questions.
I’m so happy we picked mountain warriors.

Wonderful experience
We went on a 7-day safari with Mountain Warriors in September. They were helpful right from the start. We asked to adjust the itinerary and lodges to suit our needs, and we were completely satisfied with the outcome. The safari was perfect, made even better by our guide, Mbwana. He was an excellent driver—always cautious—and did everything he could to ensure we had the best possible safari experience. We didn't have a single issue all week; in fact, he was the one helping other drivers solve their problems. If we were to go on another safari, we would definitely choose them again! A big thank you to the whole team, and a special thanks to our driver! Andrew and Federica
