Innocent was funny and good at his job, we felt taken care of the whole trip.
Mountain warriors have been good at communication from the start. we have two people with allergies in our group (gluten&nuts) and they were so good at taking this seriously.

Amazing and unforgettable 5 days safari trip
It was an amazing 10/10 relaxing and adventurous experience and definitely beyond our expectation! It was a very spontaneous trip and we came up the idea around 2 weeks ago. Rosemary was very responsive and patient answering all questions and making customisation on the itinerary arrangement. And our guide/driver Simon was amazing and very experienced in the safari to find good spots to explore all the animals we wish to as well as those backstage stories. He’s attentive but not overwhelming and we are really glad to have his support in the 5 days safari trip.

Staffs like family
Staffs, driver, chef, all were great people.
I was lucky enough to see all the animals I wanted including rhinos despite low season.

The Beast Team
My roommates and I started our trips thinking the worst, we flew into Arusha and found that our bags did not make our connecting flight, and had not arrived in JRO airport yet. We went out to find our driver Kevin to help us translate with the airport staff to organize the retrieval our bags. He not only helped organize our bag retrieval but personally drove to pick them up for us to ensure we received everything we needed before our safari began. Kevin ensured us that anything we needed or anywhere we needed to go, he had us covered. We enjoyed his charismatic and fun personality so much that we invited him over for dinner and had a night filled with laughs. The following day we were picked up by both Kevin and Simon. Simon would be our safari driver/guide for the next 5 days. Simone exceeded every expectation we had. He was wise, kind, charismatic, fun, and most importantly extremely knowledgeable about both the animals and the history of the parks and the people surrounding it. Ask him any question about what you see both in the towns or in the national parks and he will give you all the information you need. He was everything you would hope for in a safari guide. To top it all off we had cook named Miriam that came to all 4 of our safari destinations and made us delicious meals everyday. She is also very knowledgeable about the area and the culture surrounding it. To sum it all up I had a 10/10 experience and would recommend requesting Kevin as your transport, Simone as your guide, and Miriam as your cook. I’d also like to thank loveless for her speedy responses and helpful quotation to get our trip sorted.

5 Star Experience
I booked a 5-day budget camping safari, which included one day in Lake Manyara, one day in Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti, and one day in Ngorongoro Crater. Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect—after all, this was a “budget” camping tour—but the experience far exceeded my expectations. What we received was truly five-star service from start to finish.
From the beginning, Loveness was incredibly responsive and informative. Despite the 10-hour time difference between California and Tanzania, she consistently replied to my inquiries promptly, which I greatly appreciated. She also arranged transportation for us from the airport to our Airbnb, which was an added convenience.
Our driver, Kevin, was outstanding—by far the best driver I’ve had in all my travels. His hospitality, charisma, and warmth made us feel immediately at ease. In fact, we felt so connected with him that we invited him to join us for dinner at our Airbnb—he truly felt like family. When our luggage was delayed due to a missed connection, Kevin went above and beyond, contacting the airport, ensuring our bags were located, and even personally escorting us back to collect them before the safari began.
Our safari guide, Simon—highly recommended by Kevin—was equally exceptional. With over 10 years of experience, Simon navigates each national park with deep knowledge and confidence. He was a wealth of information, patiently answering all our questions about the animals and the history of the parks. Beyond his expertise, he is one of the most kind-hearted and humorous people I’ve met.
As for the food, I had no idea what to expect on a camping safari, but Mariam, our cook, delivered authentic, delicious African cuisine every day. She consistently exceeded our expectations with her meals and her warm, welcoming nature.
Loveness, Kevin, Simon, and Mariam form an incredible team. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my safari experience, and I will absolutely be returning and booking with them again. If you’re planning a safari, I highly recommend asking for this dream team—they made my experience unforgettable, and I now consider them family.
Thank you all for the memories. I’ll be back!

Spectacular
We went on a 5 day Safari trip. That was set up by Loveness and also had Kevin drive us to and from the airport who was very friendly and communicative. Our Safari driver was Simon who was spectacular. Very friendly, great communication, and had a to. Of knowledge on the parks we visited. Wòuld highly recommend to request Simon as your driver. Mariam was also a great cook and Sam was training and was also very fun to be around. All around great experience with the crew and that national parks. We will miss you Simon!
Above all expectations
I did a 4 day 3 nights safari with three parks. John my driver/guide was very good his knowledge of the animals and plants was impeccable and his driving was as safe as can be while getting close to all the animals that enabled me to get the best pictures with just my phone. I saw everything and more. The big 5 the little 5 and the ugly 5. He was able to get all my expectations and more. Even introduced new animals to me. His plant medicine was very interesting too. Then Miriam our cook/guide took camp food to a new level. Curries, fish n chips, pastas, and rice dishes were amazing Always balanced with vegetables and meat too. I’m a professional chef so trust me I know . This was both lunch dinner and breakfast was always a proper treat to eggs bread pancakes coffee tea avocado fruit and all the appropriate condiments. John and Miriam made me feel so comfortable like they were true friends. They truly are the dream team. Serengeti/Ngorgoro are a must. I will never forget this, especially hearing the lion’s roar while sleeping and a cheetah resting his paws on our back wheel was definitely a highlight let’s not forget all the amazing animals really.

Excellent
Had a 4 day safari, flew into the Serengeti, had a fabulous day's safari and were lucky to see so many animals on our first day, our driver Innocent was amazing, he got us where we needed to be to see the animals, on day 3 we had a game drive in the Ngorongoro crater which is just an amazing place in its own right, again we were lucky to see both species of Rhino, and a leopard!
On day 4 our game drive was at Tarangire were things started a little slower but eventually we got to see some fabulous sites including a few week on elephant. Overall we had the best time ever and are planning to go to do a balloon ride over the Serengeti. I will definitely be using Mountain warriors again. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Innocent is professional, personable and punctual.
TLDR: When we come back, we will use Mountian Warriors again and will arrange our trip with Innocent. He was amazing. Everything was arranged and simple. We didnt need to bring any other money with us except tips. We didn't have to worry about food or accommodations. It was stress free.
We found Mountain Warriors online and decided to give it a shot. They are not the most expensive or the cheapest option. It turned out to be great value for our money! Innocent was great. He arrived on time helped us with our bags and had drinks in the fridge waiting for us. We had a great conversation on the car ride learning about Tanzanian culture, different tribes, details about the parks we were going to visit and his kilamanjaro climbing expeditions!
At the parks we traveled to, instead of following the other drivers, Innocent took some alternate paths that allowed us to be isolated in the beauty of nature with giraffes, elephants, lions, buffalo, rhino etc. He had knowledge about the animals, the trees, and the circle of life for that park/region. Even the cities and towns we drove through, Innocent explained the meaning of the names.
The overnight hotel (Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge) that was booked for us by Mountain Warriors was stunning and we were thrilled.
I'd recommend and will book again for our next adventure
