Better than anything I ever expected. Our guide, James Elly was incredible. We had so much fun and saw EVERYTHING (despite it being 'low' season). Highly recommend

We booked our 3-day safari with Mountain Warriors. The guidance, information, and recommendations I received from Rehema helped us select them as our tour operator. This proved to be an excellent decision. Rehema handled everything expeditiously and professionally. She answered all my inquires quickly and thoroughly. She surprised me by sending a message early on a non-workday to make certain we didn't need anything, and all was going as planned. Our guide, Godfrey, performed his job professionally and with enthusiasm. His knowledge of the animals and the area was superb. He went out of his way to accommodate any requests we made. The safari itself was amazing. We saw "the big 5" along with many, many other animals and birds. It's hard to describe in words, the immenseness of the Serengeti Park. It's overwhelming to look over the vast land area and see animals living in their natural habitat. Although we traveled during the rainy season, we experienced
Read more no rain and beautiful weather every day. I feel fortunate I visited this amazing place and highly recommend anyone who enjoys the outdoors and nature to take the time to do so. I always felt safe everywhere we went and enjoyed interacting with the people who live there. As a whole, we found everyone to be friendly and helpful. If you choose to visit Tanzania, I don't think you will be disappointed.

This was my first time in the motherland. I had no idea what to expect, and I knew I wanted to experience all that Tanzania had to offer. It was honestly the most amazing vacation I have ever been on. I got to experience so many things- from the animals to the beautiful beaches. The culture and the history of the country. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I would definitely go back.

I climbed Kilimanjaro guided by a wonderful tour guide Angelo. This was a unique experience as I managed to climb the summit and meet the sunrise over Africa.
I want to thank the whole team who accompanied me on the way up. All my stuff was properly carried, and Vitor-the-cook prepared lovely dishes up in the mountains.

Love the country and the people of Tanzania. I have visited, Dar es Selam, Karagwe, Arusha, Tanga, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar and every where we went was such a beautiful place and welcoming people. I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing experience during rain season

5 / 5 5 /5

I had an amazing time during my safari. I read april is not a good time to go, but I would definitely recommend going around this time! Everything was very green and beautiful, this makes it slightly harder to spot animals, but I have seen a lot (complete big 5!). And during this time there are not as much tourists, we watched many animals which were very close with only three other cars (our guide told us this can be around 100 during high season). Amazing experience!!
HOWEVER be aware that during low season it is hard to get full groups, meaning that the organisation can be a bit chaotic. I was with a group of 7 in total, some went on safari for 2 nights, 3 nights and 4 nights and one person booked a more high end trip and had different accomodation. This also confused our guide quite a bit, he was not always aware of our schedule. Organisation and communication about change in plans could be improved. The order of parks was different and I also stayed in different accomodation
Read more (I only camped one night instead of 4 which was nice), this is no problem but it would be nice to receive an updated schedule in advance.

Incredible Experience with the BEST Guide!

The Serengeti guided tour was incredible. Joshua, our guide was a great driver and so very knowledgeable. We saw all the big animals pretty much every day. We saw incredibly beautiful birds and amazing scenery. The balloon ride over the migrating zebras and wildebeest. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants and all from high up. It was amazing. We were feet away from Cheetas gorging on a wildebeest, feet away from lions, giraffes, hyenas, playing monkeys, we even saw rhinos. My absolutely favourite were the flamingos. Sea of pink that I'll never forget. The weather was spring like but not too wet. No bugs at all. Driving through the villages and seeing the Maasai people and villages brought a lot of reality back to life. Peaceful, kind people who smile and appreciate everything they have. Kids that are learning about life and responsibilities early on to have a strong base. The have genuine smiles that melt your heart. Humble people. We felt completely safe.
The accommodations were
Read more great. I loved glamping with buffalo in the yard for a couple of days. The Arusha Melia hotel had a buffet that was next level! Delicious!! The food on the trip was great. There was plenty of it and it was tasty. I have to say that I would highly recommend this wonderful company, whose staff greeted us so beautifully and took such wonderful care of us during our two week trip. Thank you once again.

Safari Bookings was a very smooth process. They accommodated our interests completely and gave us a great safari experience. Initially, it is an adjustment to wire money internationally, but it went smoothly and safely. They accommodated the dietary needs for my son and I (gluten free) which was a relief. Also, my wife added a stop at Oldupai Gorge and with short notice they made the adjustment. It was a very interesting stopover and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All vendors for the guide/driving and lodging/meals were excellent. We would use them again. And by the way, we went on the longer safari of 6 nights and 7 days. If nature and animals is your goal then don’t hesitate to have more safari time and less Zanzibar time. It was only on our last full Serengeti day that we saw a leopard and then on the drive back the next day we saw a cheetah. Both would have been missed with a short safari.
