Machete was the most knowledgeable and kind guide and he provided us an unforgettable experience!
5/5

The safari was the most unforgettable experience, thanks to Machette! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was so knowledgeable of both Serengeti and Ngorongoro, he was so kind, and made sure that we were having a good time and saw so many different things. We all learned so much from him, and he made our short time on our safari the most memorable and I seriously cannot thank him enough. This will be a memory that we cherish forever and I am sure we will never forget Machete as well! My point of contact prior to the safari was Rehema and she was super responsive and answered my many questions! She ensured we had a smooth trip from start to finish!

Well organized and always reachable for questions
5/5

We had the most incredible two-day safari experience, and it was made absolutely perfect by our amazing guide, Victor. From the moment we were picked up at the hotel, everything was seamless and well-organized. Victor welcomed us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead.

Our first stop was Tarangire National Park, where Victor gave us a special welcome and introduced us to the landscape and its unique wildlife. His knowledge is simply extraordinary—he knew everything about every animal we encountered, from elephants and lions to even small birds. He didn’t just list facts; he told fascinating stories, explained behaviors, and made every sighting feel meaningful.

After an exciting day, we stayed overnight at Eileen’s Trees Inn, a charming lodge surrounded by nature. It was quite cold at night, but the atmosphere and setting were beautiful, and the staff made sure we were comfortable.

On the second day, we explored the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Again, Victor welcomed us with insights about the crater’s formation and the unique ecosystem inside. Every moment with him felt like a lesson from a true expert who genuinely loves what he does.

At the end of our journey, we were brought back to the hotel, feeling enriched, inspired, and deeply grateful. Victor’s professionalism, passion, and kindness turned a great safari into an unforgettable one. If you’re planning a safari, we couldn’t recommend this tour—and especially Victor—highly enough!

Amazing Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Safari Experience
5/5

My friend and I had an amazing safari with Mountain Warriors. We did a 4D3N safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and our guide was John.

On the booking experience:
Loveness was our first point of contact through the booking process and we cannot say better things about working with her. She is kind, professional and honest from the start and we appreciated her explanations and flexibility to make our itinerary what we wanted. Most safari itineraries start with a night near the Tarangire National Park, but we wanted to skip this and maximize our time in Serengeti. Loveness was very accommodating to this request and helped us plan out our perfect trip. I highly recommend her and thank her so much for making the planning process so easy!

On the actual safari experience:
John was such a great guide and highly recommend anyone looking to book with Mountain Warriors request him as your guide! He is an extremely very safe driver (we saw many other guides just recklessly drive through those rough roads!) and super knowledgeable. He made sure to give us the best experience possible and we were able to see the entire Big 5! In total, we saw 44 lions, 4 cheetah, 1 leopard, 1 rhino, countless elephants and other classic safari wildlife. He was a great companion over our 4 days and made sure we were safe, happy and comfortable. He cleaned the car every night and made sure we had water and drinks throughout the game drives.

On the Mountain Warriors experience:
When you're booking a safari, it can be overwhelming to know which company to go with so let me tell you why Mountain Warriors should be your top choice:
1. They value quality and standards: While other safari companies may want to cut corners to gain as much profit as possible, Mountain Warriors ensures a quality experience and high standards. When we asked Loveness for discount, she kindly explained to us that she cannot lower the price to ensure quality and high standards which we really appreciated the honesty and her explanation.
2. Their guides are safe and well trained: John was highly knowledgable and extremely professional throughout the whole trip. He was so prepared and we really enjoyed spending time with him!
3. Meals and Accommodations exceeded our expectations: The accommodations were comfortable, clean and very good quality and service. For meals, we had hot lunches almost every day, where other companies had only box lunches on the road. This made a huge difference for us and we really appreciated the extra mile Mountain Warriors went for the meals.

Overall professional and exceeded our expectations! Going on a safari is a serious investment, but rest assured that going with Mountain Warriors will ensure a comfortable, fulfilling and fun safari. I cannot recommend them enough and I will never forget my time with them! If I have the opportunity to come back to Tanzania again I will not hesitate to book with Mountain Warriors again.

Professional and trustworthy tour operator and guide
5/5

The experience with Loveness and John was fabulous - worth every penny. My friend and I did a 4 day private mid-range tour with 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorogoro on the last day.

Mountain Warriors is a company that ensures high standards for their services. We got quotations with the exact same itinerary and accommodation arrangements from other companies, and Mountain Warrior's price was higher. However, Loveness did not lower the price in order to get our business but rather insisted the service quality - which was worth it!

For instance, our flights were at 5 pm and we asked if it's possible to catch the flight on the last day. Loveness was very honest and said that it's impossible, as we would not have the full experience, while other companies just said yes. Loveness was so right. You do not want to leave early with Ngorogoro. I was sad to leave the extremely beautiful place even after the full tour.

Our guide John attended to our needs, very knowledgeable with animals and plants, patient with answering our questions, and the most important of all - we saw every animal we wanted to see including all the big 5! I liked that John listens to our desires and went for the animals that we liked. He made sure we were in good angles to take good photos and even reminded us to have our cameras ready early multiple times. I find him very considerate.

Other than John being extremely professional and experienced, you can tell the company really pay attention on ensuring quality. We had hot lunch almost day. The only day we had to eat a lunch box because we were in the middle of Serengeti - there's chicken, curry, and rice. John also had the car checked every night to make sure of the security.

All in all, I highly recommend Mountain Warriors. If their quotation is slightly higher than others - it's because of their insistence on quality. If you want the animal experience to be tailored to your needs and have many questions about the big nature, you request for John. You will not be disappointed .

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!!

4/5

We went on a two day safari in March to Tarangire and Ngorongoro and had the best time almost seeing all of the big five! Our guide was sharing interesting facts about every animal we have seen and we also managed to see at least all of the ugly five. Funny guide, would recommend. All in all, great experience and fair price in comparison to others!
