A highly professional and reliable tour operator delivering well-organized and unique tour!
The safari trip was incredibly well organized from start to finish. From airport pick-up to drop-off, everything was smooth and well communicated. Even though we had three different drivers/guides during the trip - all the transitions were seamless, and we always knew what to expect next.
Our tour guide - Samuel was very kind and had an impressive knowledge of the animals, which made the safari even more interesting and enjoyable. We were also incredibly lucky to witness a leopard hunting while having a game drive with Samuel, which was such a rare and special moment and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!!! We were also lucky enough to see cheetah, lions and, of course, plenty of zebras, giraffes and elephants! :)
Asante!

A fantastic tour operator that made our entire journey smooth, stress-free and truly memorable!
The safari was very well organized from start to finish, with smooth logistics and great communication throughout.
We were also lucky enough to see cheetahs, lions and, of course, plenty of buffalos, zebras, giraffes and elephants.
Our guide Tribon was very kind and a great person to spend time with. One area where we felt the experience could have been stronger was storytelling. At times, it felt more like pointing out the animals rather than sharing stories, interesting facts or context about them. For us, these details really add to the experience and make each sighting more memorable.
Overall, the trip was incredibly unique and such a special experience that we will remember for a long time.

Albert was attentive of our excitement and did his best to make sure we got the best views!
Thank you very much to Albert and Jocky Tours for making this a trip of our lifetime! We loved our 6 day tour, it was informative, inspiring and well organised. We were picked up from the airport and dropped off back at our hotel at the end of the trip. We were well taken care off my Albert and Jocky would highly recommend everyone to book with them!

Deceptive marketing, systemic bait & switch, and fraudulent bank reporting: A Safari Nightmare
Do not book with Mountain Warriors in a shared safari ever. We had booked a 5 days 4 nights safari for 2 people (including Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire) by contacting them through SafariBookings.com. We paid $1,840 USD + undisclosed credit card fees for a 2-person budget safari explicitly guaranteeing 7 game drives (full day Tarangire (2) + half day Manyara (1) + 2 game drives Serengeti + 2 in Ngorongoro). They failed to deliver on multiple game drives for the most expensive segments of the trip: the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. They run a calculated operation designed to promise high-end premium itineraries compared to their competitors, cut the services short once you have paid in full, and you end up with a half-baked tour.
To start with, after full payment on Day 0, we were told within 4 hours that our itinerary was changed but will cover every parks as advertised. But I insisted on Mary sending me the revised itinerary, which ofcourse came after the safari had started on Day 1. Guess what: game drives previously advertised were omitted from the "new one".
Next, on Day 1 they suffered internal logistical breakdowns that left us entirely missing a scheduled 3.5-hour afternoon game drive at Serengeti (They tried to pack the vehicle with 7 people by getting people from other companies, leading to long waits to pick them up; further their sales person Mary messed up and we ended up picking the wrong person and then exchanging him for the correct person; basically long delays and waits). Thanks to all that, we missed the dusk game drive, when especially predators come out to hunt!!
Second, they explicitly advertised a dual "morning and evening crater drive" in Ngorongoro in the itinerary we paid for. We chose Mountain Warriors specifically for this reason over their competitors. Anyone familiar with Tanzanian park rules knows that NCAA permits are single-entry. Providing an evening drive requires the operator to buy a second $295 USD vehicle descent permit. They cut our morning drive short to only 4.5 hours to get 1 person out of the crater for her flight, and to avoid paying this fee twice, canceled the evening drive entirely, and probably pocketed the rest.
When confronted with all of these at the conclusion of our vacation, they admitted fault by sending a partial refund of $190 USD. However, this was way below even the amount for 2 people, we had estimated, considering the amount of government fees they had saved by not delivering the evening game drive for Ngorongoro alone.
To protect their cash, they lied to our credit card processor during the dispute process (the card company shared this evidence), claiming we "only lost one total hour of safari" because "we had to catch a flight". They falsely claimed to the bank that our tour was cut short due to a flight delay caused by my party. My official flight tickets prove we landed exactly on time, and departed Arusha days after the safari; the delay they cited belonged to a completely separate, third passenger who had no connection to our booking party. They submitted the secondary, unapproved, modified itinerary to the bank rather than the original contract we actually paid for, attempting to retroactively shrink the scope of their unfulfilled obligations. They selectively deleted the entire message thread from their representative, Mary, which explicitly documented their internal stalling and operational delays.
Upon looking at this fabrication, I was extremely appalled, disgusted, and I will leave people to make a decision for themselves.
Finally, upon confronting Gasto & Mary about this deception, they promised (around August 28) to send an official bank resolution (refund another $110, which we accepted to end the dispute) and contact us on September 24, 2026. That date has now passed with no further response.
Book elsewhere with an honest company that doesn't shortchange your vacation hours to inflate their profit margins and ensures a smoother experience. Note, we booked tours and safaris at other places as well before & after, and never experienced this kind of behavior.
However, I will be fair and give a shout out for Victor, our guide. He is a remarkable guide, very knowledgeable and knows details about animals to the letter. He ensured our drive experience was atleast smooth and our once in a life experience has bright spots to remember.

An unforgettable safari with an excellent guide
My wife and I had a wonderful safari with Lion King Adventures. The highlight was watching the wildebeest cross the river—a moment we had dreamed of seeing. We were also fortunate to see both black and white rhinos.
Our guide, Murshid, took great care of us throughout the trip and made every game drive enjoyable. We also appreciated the help we received from Elia and Naurey. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania!

Serengeti Clarity and Kelvin will make your safari dreams a reality
This is my second safari with Serengeti Clarity! Frank and his team will make your trip a special, once in a life time experience! They will put together a wonderful itinerary! if you want fancier accommodation or a specific request, just ask Frank and he will make it happen. The safari costs are very reasonable. Now let’s talk about the guide that made our trip so special…KELVIN!! He was amazing! While the entrances and the main road of Serengeti felt crowded at times, we never felt that once we were off the beaten path. Kelvin has done this for 10 years and knows the Serengeti like the back of his hand. He is also very passionate about his culture and country which gives you deeper understanding of life in Tanzania. I will be using Serengeti Clarity again and will always request Kelvin. I recommend this company to anyone who asks. Why would you want to go with a large company when you can go with a smaller company that is passionate about what they do and love to make your trip amazing!
