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!

John is amazing !
5/5

This year for my birthday, I traveled to Tanzania for a dream vacation that included a four-day safari, and I couldn’t be happier that John was our tour guide. From the moment my husband and I met him, we knew we were in for a fantastic experience! John was incredibly personable, and his enthusiasm was infectious. Throughout the four days, he was attentive and shared an impressive wealth of knowledge. Despite it being the low season, we saw an incredible variety of animals, and the experience was truly beyond my expectations. Thank you, John and Mountain Warriors, for making my birthday so memorable!

John should be awarded for being simply the best!
5/5

Took a 4-day Safari with John and Chef Mami. Honestly, best money ever spent on an amazing overall experience from start to finish! John Wilber above and beyond to ensure each day was majestic and really went out of his way to create a truly memorable experience!

I wish there were more John’s in the world and Mountain Warriors is lucky to have a one of a kind guide! Highly recommend him as you will wish you stayed longer! Asante John!

Great experience in discovering wildlife in Tanzania
5/5

We had two full days of excellent experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Lots of animals. Very lucky to see all Big 5 in such a short time! And many more.
Great stay in the lodge enjoying unique atmosphere.
Our guide John was very professional. A good driver and a nice companion for this trip. His knowledge about animals and wildlife was a valuable asset.

A local company, Exceptionally supportive, without being pushy.
5/5

We went on a Serengeti tour through "Mountain Warriors." Since it was our honeymoon, we wanted to spend a special and meaningful time, and "Mountain Warriors" turned out to be the perfect choice.

ROSEMARY was the staff member who helped us with the booking, and SIMON was our tour guide.

The main reason we chose to book through this company was that they were not at all pushy and were incredibly helpful in planning our tour. They tailored the perfect travel itinerary to fit the season of migration and the duration of our trip. What stood out the most was that ROSEMARY personally contacted the local airline to change our flight time after we mistakenly booked the wrong flight destination. She did this even before we had finalized our tour reservation. Unlike other companies, they treated us like friends rather than just customers, which is why we decided to book with them.

SIMON"is an extremely professional guide. He not only possesses the comprehensive knowledge necessary for a Serengeti tour but also has a deep understanding of tourism. Throughout the tour, SIMON skillfully positioned the vehicle in front of the animals, giving us the best possible views. This expertise clearly comes from years of experience. Thanks to SIMON's quick judgment, we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big 5, which was the greatest gift for us on our honeymoon. Above all, SIMON's confident and positive attitude in his own life made a lasting impression on us, and we became very good friends. (Many tour companies in Tanzania may see customers simply as a source of money) I would highly recommend this professional and confident individual as your tour guide.

Additionally, "Mountain Warriors" contacted our accommodation in advance and arranged a surprise honeymoon event for us. With the help of this amazing local tour company and their highly professional staff, we had a perfect 3-night, 4-day Serengeti honeymoon.

I am deeply grateful to "ROSEMARY" and "SIMON," and I believe this company will make your Serengeti tour absolutely perfect.

Mountain Warriors 추천합니다! 다른 업체랑 다르게 강압적이지 않고, 정말 친절하게 일정 상담해 주고 해서 좋았어요. 다른 업체는 귀찮게 계속 연락이 와서 빨리 예약 확정 짓게끔 유도하는데 여기 업체는 물어보는 거 상세하게 대답해 주고, 다른 데서는 말해주지 않은 정보들을 가져다주더라고요. 예약 진행하면서 진짜 많이 물어보고, 귀찮은 요청도 몇 개 했었는데, 한 번도 안 된다는 말 없이 어떻게든 도와주려고 하는 부분에서 정말 큰 도움을 얻어서 여기 업체로 확정 지었었습니다.

묵었던 숙소들도 하나 같이 다 마음에 들었고, 심지어 신행이라고 숙소마다 다 연락해 놓아서 가는 숙소마다 신행 이벤트를 준비해 줬답니다. 이 부분에서 약간 감동 포인트였고,, 업체 선택 잘했다고 생각했습니다. 또, 가이드 SIMON이라는 친구도 쿨하고 멋진 가이드이고, 세렝게티 투어 짬밥이 있어서 동물들을 기가 막히게 찾아주더라고요. ㅎㅎ 덕분에 3박 4일 동안 BIG 5 다 볼 수 있었습니다!! (다른 업체는 프리랜서 가이드들을 고용해서 쓰는 경우가 많다고 들었는데, 여기는 직원으로 소속되어 일하는 가이드가 많은 것 같더라고요. 그래서 본인들 평판 관리나 차량 관리도 되게 열심히 하는 느낌이었어요.)

연락도 항상 잘 되어서 일정 짜고 예약 진행하는 과정도 매끄럽게 진행되었습니다. 영어로 소통만 가능하시면 가격도 합리적이고, 탄자니아 로컬 업체이고 해서 좋은 업체라고 생각됩니다. 대표가 좋아서 같이 일하는 가이드들도 같이 오랫동안 일하고 있다고 하더라고요 ㅎㅎ 와이프랑 둘 다 여기 업체 통해서 투어 하길 잘했다고 생각했습니다!! 후기 쓰다 보니 또 가고 싶어지네요,, 업체 고민하고 계시면 여기 업체 한 번 고려 해보세요~~

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Mecky
4/5

Our 3-day safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was nothing short of magical. The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife encounters surreal, and our accommodations exceeded expectations with their comfort, stunning views, and warm hospitality.

While we did face some initial misunderstandings with the safari company regarding logistics, our guide, Mecky, truly turned things around. From the moment we met him, his humor, kindness, and deep knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem put us at ease. Mecky not only ensured we had an incredible wildlife experience but also made every moment enjoyable with his stories and positive energy.

The Serengeti delivered iconic scenes of lions lounging in the sun, elephants strolling majestically, and endless herds of wildebeest crossing the plains. Ngorongoro Crater, on the other hand, felt like stepping into a lost world – an awe-inspiring concentration of animals surrounded by dramatic crater walls.

Despite the initial hiccup, this safari became an unforgettable adventure, largely thanks to Mecky’s dedication and charisma. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience – just make sure you have someone like Mecky by your side!

Fast, kind, flexible guide. Best tour agency in Tanzania
5/5

Conclusion: Extremely satisfied! I would definitely use them again if I visit Tanzania!

My friend and I went on a 5-day safari tour with Mountain Warriors, visiting Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti (2 days), and Ngorongoro.

First of all, their responsiveness was the fastest. They replied quicker than any other agency we contacted. They were also flexible with the itinerary. While other agencies said Ndutu was only available for private tours and not for group tours, Mountain Warriors said it was possible. Thanks to that, we saw the most animals of the entire trip in Ndutu.

On the last day, we had to leave early due to our flight schedule, and they accommodated us by starting earlier. Thanks to their consideration, we were able to fully enjoy the entire tour.

Osman was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. His eyesight was amazing—he could spot animals I couldn’t even see and pointed them out to us. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big Five. He also taught us a lot about the animals’ lifespans and characteristics, giving us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the wildlife.

While they said we were lucky, we ended up seeing about 50 lions, 2 leopards, 1 rhino, countless buffaloes, and elephants.

Miriam’s cooking was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I was a bit worried about the food before the trip, but it turned out amazing. Her pasta was the best! I didn’t even feel curious about the food of other groups. She even made bread from scratch, and it tasted better than most bread I’ve had in Korea.

If I ever go back to Tanzania, I would definitely choose Mountain Warriors again!

Amazing Safari Experience with John and Mountain Warriors!
5/5

We recently completed a 3-day safari with Mountain Warriors, guided by the exceptional John, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our journey took us to the breathtaking Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and John made every moment unforgettable.

From the beginning, John took the time to ask us which animals we were most interested in seeing and made it his mission to deliver — and wow, did he deliver! We were fortunate to see herds of zebras and gazelles, but the real highlight was spotting not just one cheetah but also another with two cubs preparing to hunt!

Each day was full of remarkable wildlife encounters: lions, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, pelicans, and an array of stunning birds. On the second day, John spotted a male and female lion before anyone else did, giving us a few private and awe-inspiring minutes to watch them before the other vehicles arrived.

John’s expertise and sharp eye for wildlife were simply outstanding. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the environment enriched the experience and gave us a deeper appreciation for Tanzania’s incredible wildlife. His passion and dedication to making our safari special truly set him apart.

If you’re considering a safari, I can’t recommend John and Mountain Warriors enough. Thanks to them, we had an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations!

Thank you, John, for your outstanding guidance and for making this trip a memory we’ll treasure forever!
