Accommodating and efficient
All round it was an excellent trip. The camp was very nice and much nicer than the camp we stayed at last year. The food selection was adequate and to a very high standard and maintenance of the camp and our tents was impeccable. We had excellent guide but unfortunately we had the most inclement weather that the Okavango Delta has seen in such a long time, the water level was so high that game viewing was sparse at best game sightings were very disappointing. As with all bush trips you never know what you’re going to get so we made the most of it ! We had a wonderful guide who tried his absolute best to track possible sightings. But all in all a really enjoyable trip very well organised and very well priced.

Excellent organization and communication.
The tour was Excellent value for money; All accommodation, food, drinks, drives, 3 boat trips, 2 Mokoro trips
We were well organised throughout the trip.
Our first lodge (Little Sable) was excellent. They did not deviate from the African safari theme, the food was wholesome and the staff were amazing. The tents had every practical thing that was needed plus a bit of "bush chic".
The 2nd Lodge (Mbamba) was rediculous. The decor was hideously out of place and impractical. It resulted in the tents being filled with silly brass ornaments and persian carpets but lacking many practical things. (lighting was impossibly dark, beds impossibly high, towels like dish cloths, no coat hangers or hooks to hang things, mirrors at the dressing table for dwarfs, no umbrellas etc etc. Each day there were hoots of laughter at the silliness of the decor.
Fortunately the setting was superb, and the staff were good. But I would not book again if Mbamba were on the itinerary. Totally out of character with the magnificent African Delta.

A trustworthy company
We had an unforgettable 4-day, 3-night safari in Tanzania, where we saw the Big Five and various wild bird species. The itinerary arranged by Mountain Warrior was perfect, and we especially appreciated our guide, Victor, who took great care of us throughout the journey. He is an excellent driver, handling muddy roads with ease, and has extensive knowledge of wildlife. He kept sharing insights with us throughout the trip, enriching our experience with so much new information. We are truly grateful to him and highly recommend him as a professional guide.
Another point I would especially like to mention is that on the first day of our safari, due to bad weather, the bridge leading to the hotel had been completely flooded by rainwater. The agency arranged for us to stay at the nearest tented camp instead. Afterwards, they proactively contacted the hotel and refunded us the price difference between the two accommodations .Their handling of the situation was very sincere and considerate.
If I have chance to visit Tanzania again, I would still choose this company Mountain Warriors, I hope you will make the same choice as I did.

Outstanding
My partner booked me a surprise trip to Masai Mara for 4 nights then on to Diani beach for 4 nights.
The service we received from being picked up at Nairobi airport till being dropped off at Nairobi airport was 5 star!
Attention to detail at all points of the travel and the upgrades in each 3 parts of the accommodation was 5 star luxury as part of my birthday treat!
Being met by the representative all throughout and being made to feel like royalty made my birthday feel so special!
What a company to use and would recommend to anyone!

Great
We traveled to Kenya on a safari with Globetracker agency. We were lucky that the local partner of Globetracker is Super Eagles Travel and Tours.
The driver Sikona was excellent. Communication with him was without any problem. He tried to fulfill all our wishes. He is very familiar with safari roads full of holes and mud. He managed to find animals and get close to them without scaring them. He knows a lot about animals and tried to tell us as much as possible and explain everything.
Unfortunately, I did not go on a safari to the Masai Mara reserve because I was sick.. The next day, Sikona went through the reserve, on a longer route, and found elephants so that I could enjoy watching them. All praise for Sikona..

Kind
Very happy to have booked with Balu travel, they provided us with a lot of different options for a hotel/stay and everything was arranged very well. They even helped us with a train booking to go to Mombasa because we couldn't do it ourselves.

Very professional
We did a safari with Axis Africa Safaris and had a good experience.
I spoke with Peter while booking and he helped me with all the package details, super easy to deal with. Airport pickup was on time, so everything started off smoothly.
Our guide was Albert, and he was great. he has a lot of experience — the whole trip just went well because of him.
Overall, happy with how everything went. Would definitely recommend 👍
