Excellent, everything happened smoothly with great communication
A fabulous week in Tanzania. We came with another couple and everything from start to finish ran smoothly.
The lodges were all beautiful, staff and food wonderful
The highlight for all of us was obviously the safari… Gilbert our guide was fantastic. We have never seen so many unbelievable and unique sightings … every day was another incredible adventure. Thank you to Gilbert for all his hard work and skill.
A very well organised trip which was good value for money.

Professional and serious
It has been an unforgettable experience; in addition to the idyllic setting, we were accompanied on the trip by a wonderful guide named Brian—who took great care of us and always made sure we were comfortable while explaining the surroundings—as well as an excellent driver who helped us see as much as possible.

Professional and friendly
Simon, our driver was incredibly professional, punctual and friendly. He called a few minutes prior the agreed pick up time to let me know he was on his way. I appreciate his positive attitude.

A Fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience
I cannot recommend Eco-Africa Climbing enough. They are simply the best!
My brother Larry and I (ages 68 and 66) planned this trip in March 2026. We had a limited time window to work around other travel plans, so our timeline was October 19th - November 3rd.
Based on some videos that I watched, I told Fredrick if that we wanted to not only climb Uhuru peak, but also to camp in the crater. He said that, while possible, he didn't recommend it due to the exreme cold and the difficulty in having the crew get all our gear to the crater. We decided that instead of camping in the crater, we would explore the crater after our summit.
We arrived in Moshi a couple of days before our trek started so that we could get over any jet lag, and we also added a couple of days at the end, in the event that anything unexpected happened, we wouldn't have to rush. That turned out to be a good solution for us, since I had some shopping for souvenirs to do before heading home.
Now, onto the trip itself: Our itinerary was the Northern Circuit Route (9 days). This was an excellent choice, since we had the time (both of us being retired) and because it allowed us to become well acclimatized to the altitude on our way.
Our crew of 15 was fabulous. The guides (our lead guide was Onesmo, but we also had leadership/guidance from Vincent, John, Jonathan, and others. Typically, Larry and our other guest Lindsey, would hike on ahead, with two guides, while I was bringing up the rear with two guides as well. Many of the days, several porters, after setting up camp, would return to accompany me and my guides the rest of the way to the camp.
We were all very well cared for the entire trip. Each of us had slightly different needs, and they accommodated all of them.
Our chef, David, fed us very well with delicious meals every day. He accommodated the special dietary needs of Larry (no cilantro!), and Lindsey. There was almost always more food than we could eat.
We hiked through all four vegetation zones (Rainforest, Moorland, Alpine Desert and Arctic Summit), and experienced all types of weather.
On our summit day, Larry and Lindsey went much faster than I did. About halfway up the mountain (from Kibo Huts to the Gilman's Point) Onesmo told me that at the rate we were going, I wouldn't be able to make it to the top. I told him that I was just following his pace, and that I could go much faster. And faster we went! We had left Kibo Huts around 1:00AM and I made it to Uhuru Peak at 1:16PM (after stopping to greet Larry and Lindsey at Stella Point).
After returning to Moshi, we had a couple of extra days, and they took us to see a premier league football game (soccer to us Americans) between Polisi Tanzania FC and Geita Gold FC. On my last day, John picked me up and took me into town to get some souvenirs. He knew the right place to go and I got just what I needed.
It was altogether, a fabulous experience. I couldn't have asked for better!

Best value for money and reliability choice.
If we could give them more than 5 stars we would definitely do it.
My wife and I want to personally mention John for being a one of a kind guide. He has offered rich explanations of wildlife and interesting facts about many places we were passing through while en route between reserves, he has also been really helpful with the delayed bag issue we experienced at our arrival at the airport, as well as the sunglasses I forgot in the vehicle.
He also drives very smoothly, even considering that some Kenyan roads and reserves routes are tricky, as well as he also spotted the best locations to watch the animals.
We had an unforgettable honeymoon in Kenya.
Asante sana!

family safari with amazing care from start to finish!
We felt truly taken care of from the very beginning until the very end of our safari adventure!
Everything was perfectly organized. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to the airport, and safely transferred back to our hotel after the safari.
We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had an absolutely wonderful time as a family with our 5-year-old son. It was an unforgettable experience filled with beautiful memories!
A special thank you to Ruth, who helped us plan and arrange all the details of our trip, and to Isaac, our amazing guide, who took great care of us during the safari, showed us so many incredible places and made the entire experience truly special.
We felt safe, comfortable and well looked after throughout the whole journey, which was especially important to us as we were traveling with a young child.
We highly recommend Mountain Warriors Tours and Safaris to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable African safari!
Thank you for such a wonderful family adventure!
