Excellent Service
We had a lovely tour with Kichaka Tours & Travel.
We appreciate the efforts & arrangements made on our trips/stays to Nakuru Lakes & Masai Mara, a beautiful experience of a lifetime.
With the experience of our guides Mr. Jonathan & Mr Ben, we and our friends could see the Big 5 in our first ever trip to Kenya. Both the guides spoke good English and very friendly and always on time for the safaris. They drove us safely to & fro Masai Mara and during al our safaris.
We would highly recommend this tour company for their reliability & good service.

Everything is perfect.
This is my first time to book online service and it’s very lucky to choose Mountain Warriors because everything goes very well. Me and my friend came from China and we’re all satisfied with this 4-day trip, it’s unforgettable and wonderful memories.
I contacted with the operator by WhatsApp and they replied very quickly and even for my small questions(like the weather and clothes, thanks for their remind that I was not that cold during the camp night😆). Our guide is amazing, his name is Joachim. He picked us up at the hotel and the whole trip was so nice! Thankfully he took us track the animals and we saw all the big 5! We even found the mom cheetah and her babies!! They are so cute😻😻😻. Joachim always said he wanted us to be happy and no regret for the Safari so he worked very hard to take us see different animals, such as big five, baboons, zebra group, giraffes, leopard(we came very close to them!), wildebeests, Spotted Hyaena, Black Backed Jackal, Warthog, oryx, gazelle and some other bucks. Oh we even saw the crocodile and my favorite flamingos!!! I took so many good pictures for them. By the way, it’s highly recommended to take a long lens, I took a 100-400 telephoto lens and it was amazing. It’s also necessary to take a jacket because at night in Ngorongoro is cold.
All in all, everything of this safari is perfect and I am happy to choose Mountain Warriors💪🏾💪🏾.

The best！The most professional, caring and fantastic! If you missed it, I will cry!
Climbing with Alex, the team and the company is the wisest decision I made for my tour of Africa.Without their help, I think my dream could not come true so fast.
I lack of exercise and I always think I am a weak girl.But my guide Alex never gives up me and continuously encourages me, then we made it to the peak. Every friends including me couldn’t believe it! I think the reason is mainly Alex. He is such more professional than the other guides I met along the way, he will assess your capabilities and choose the way most suitable to you including using his 17 years climbing experience to smoothly go through the mountain, finding a comfortable poly poly pace you need to catch up but you don’t need to rush, ensuring your safety when it’s slippery or steep, assessing your body all the time, knowing where you are exactly every time you want to know, checking your blood oxygen level every morning and night, giving helpful medicine and cloth advice and renewing your climbing plan based on your performance. And he is so caring to make sure you eat enough and help you take your day pack when you feel exhausted.Besides, he could speak fluent English and Chinese. You could fully trust him and he will help you as much as he can. I couldn’t believe the other guides could provide more than him.（and I think everyone knows him)
And the chief Eric will ask your preference before climbing and prepare everything . Everyday the meal is delicious even till the last day. I enjoy it and I ate a lot under the condition that I have a Chinese stomach. You will have hot tea or ginger water when you want or feel sick. And have popcorn as snacks.
And every morning Jonny will wake me up gently and have already prepared a cup of hot tea which is really helpful! And he is so warmhearted to meet your needs.
The whole team is so supportive. On the summit day, hot water is still provided along the way. After I reach the peak, I was descending to the campsite. On the half way, I saw they have already arrived there to congratulate me! I feel so warm after one night’s climbing.
And the company is also very supportive. Alone the whole 7 days, Honest continues trying to contact me to make sure i feel great and have no worries.
The whole process is so fantastic and I treat the whole team as my family. I 101% recommend the team to all kinds of people who want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro no matter you are good at climbing or you never climb before and have no confidence, no matter you travel with your friends or alone like me, no matter you want to climb to the peak or just appreciate the view along the way, no matter you are budgeted (worth every penny )or want some luxury! This is your best choice(after I ask some other people’s ’ experience and feelings, I got the conclusion.)
Finally, thank you for sharing the journey with me and let me have an unforgettable memory! Remember to miss me!

Result oriented and pays keen attention to detail
My itinerary was well planned and designed to fit my schedule and budget. The Ugandan tour operators worked exceedingly well and hand in hand with Tanzanian tour operators to ensure that I received maximum attention, care and good service at every place I visited and enjoyed my stay.
The selected accommodation was well within my budget and luxurious. All teams were hospitable.
In summary, my experience was good and I had a wonderful vacation.

Very knowledgeable and charismatic
We knew one day was not gonna be enough to have the full safari experience but we wanted to get a taste of it and we sure did!
We departed from Zanzibar at 6 am and as soon as we landed at Nyerere we started our game drive! Our guide was super knowledgeable answering and explaining everything to us!
We were able to see 3/5 of the big 5 and that left me completely satisfied!
After a few hours we then had lunch at an amazing spot, and were able to enjoy the views of the incredible baoba tree!
I highly recommend this tour for anyone who like me only has one day for a safari!

Very thoughtful tour operator, excellent value for money, great driver/safari guides
Patrick was very good in communicating with me and my friend before and during our safari. Our driver in Kenya, David was always prompt, provided us good info with the wildlife and always did his best that we get the best from each game drive. Same thing with our Tanzania driver, Abuu.
My friend got sick during our trip and our drivers always accommodated her requests to find a pharmacy and a local doctor. Abuu took her to the hospital when we were in the Ngorongoro area.
Patrick and Mama Savannah were so considerate of my friend's health issue that they upgraded our accommodation while we were in Serengeti so she had access to a doctor. Extremely thoughtful of them!
During our game drives, it was very easy for us to take good shots of the wildlife we were seeing since there were only two of us in the jeep. We were moving around freely so that we could take our best shots.
Accommodations were also great especially in Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The Kibu Camp in Amboseli was also nice. The only accommodation that I don't care about is the Enkorok camp in Maasai Mara. The tented camp was fine but the food left a lot to be desired for. The restaurant was kind of dark and just didn't have that great vibe to it compared to all the other accommodations we had. I probably would not call it as a mid-range accommodation.
Thank you Patrick and mama Savannah for a wonderful safari experience. I have already recommended your company to my friends!

A very fun safari with a very helpful guide
The four days were incredibly fun with music and lots of excitement. The guide showed extensive knowledge about wildlife and helped us understand what we were seeing. He also gave us insight into life in Tanzania and some customs and traditions of the local people. We saw the Big 5 thanks to our guide's patience. We always had fresh water. The first hotel (Omega) didn't have hot water on the first night, which can happen in Africa. I recommend bringing binoculars.

The sixth big
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a company. Manuel was in charge of everything, and he knew how to politely manage everything we wanted. “Exec” should be named the sixth big in Africa!

Altogether a wonderful and unforgettable adventure on the African plains.
This safari trip was truly amazing. Our guide, Lewis, was superb. His knowledge of Serengeti and the animals is immense and we got to see a huge variety of animals. He has a great sense of humour and is a very experienced and safe driver and made our safari a real pleasure. We had 3 lunches prepared by the chef, Tito, which were outstanding with local fresh produce including meat, fresh fish and extraordinary vegetable and fruit dishes. Altogether a wonderful and unforgettable adventure on the African plains.

A truly wonderful experience with an excellent safari company
We have just returned from a truly wonderful three days with Suricata safari visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Lewis was our experienced driver and an excellent guide. Thanks to his vast knowledge of the animals and their habitats, we saw a huge variety including the big five and got very close to lots of them! The chef, Tito, produced delicious hot lunches with plenty of variety. Both Lewis and Tito were extremely professional and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Suricata and would highly recommend them for an unforgettable experience 10/10.
