Great 6 d safari with an expert guide, amazing wildlife sightings and wonderful lodge accommodations
We have spent 6 days together with our tour guide David from Destiny Explorers.
First the jeep, since we spent most of our waking hours in it. The car was old but seemed to be just like all the other vehicles we saw in the parks. The ride can get a bit rough, but our guide seemed to handle the car well, and his knowledge of the vast area was impressive.
David answered all our questions about the flora and fauna and adjusted the tour according to our wishes and needs.
We had some doubts about the broken radio in the car. Other tourists mentioned the guides being in contact with each other to hear about animal sightings in the vicinity. We were told that this happens via smartphone as well. To what extent that was the case, we can’t tell. We did have good sightings, but we wonder if more communication could have improved it further. In the end, it is a game of luck and chance.
The hotels that Destiny Explorers chose for us were amazing. This is especially true for the lodges in the national parks themselves. We didn’t want to overspend, but the level of comfort, space, and style of our accommodations were a pleasant surprise. The food was always tasty and plentiful, sometimes extraordinary. A few breakfast items tend to be a bit repetitive after a couple of days, but the choice was there, and we felt well taken care of, Issa also made sure we got a nice birthday cake baked by one of the lodges.
The only thing we didn’t like was some miscommunication, which led us to book a slightly cheaper package that included less accommodation and transport than we had expected. As a result, we ended up arranging our own accommodation and taxis, which ended up costing more than the original quoted amount for those days. It was also difficult to be flexible on the go with our itinerary, we would have liked to spend more time in the Serengeti, but the price quoted for changing one day was extremely high. I would highly recommend having a phone call beforehand to clearly go over all the details before booking.
Other than these hiccups, we had a very good time overall.

9-Day Safari With Destiny Explorers
Destiny Explorers (Issa) planned an unforgettable 9 Day Safari including Lake Natron and made all of our dreams come true. He was very flexible and responsive when we had to make to make changes to our booking even when we arrived in Tanzania right after the elections, he called our hotel to check if we are okay and kept us posted about the pick up process.
Our tour guide, Nico, was very friendly and knowledgeable over all the wildlife. He immediately made us feel like family by sharing lots of stories and laughter. With his expertise and dedication, we saw all of the Big 5 including 64 Lions!
I can assure you if you choose Destiny Explorers as your Safari agent, they will exceed your expectations!

Making memories for a lifetime!
If you want to make unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime, get the best value for your money and experience A+ Service, then you should book a tour with Destiny Explorers! Issa, the owner, made sure that the whole booking and communication went absolutely smooth. He adapted the tour to our needs, always promptly responded, organized an airport transfer and much more. During our trip he was always just a message/ phone call away and made sure that the whole tour proceeded without and problems. Our tour guide Hussein was an absolute gem! Highly professionell, super knowledgeable and such a sweet soul! Thanks to him, we had the best time, despite the unstable political situation in Tansania at that time. He was always on time, in a good mood and helped us with everything! He spotted animals that would have otherwise remained hidden to us and all of that while driving super safe.
We can highly recommend Issa, Hussein and the rest of the team. You will get a trip which is not only worth the money but also a once in a lifetime experience that will stay in your heart forever ♥️

Beautiful 10-days safari But special attention to the car is definitely necessary
Beautiful 10-day safari with Destiny Explorers
We arrived in Arusha 2 days before the elections and wanted to leave as soon as possible due to the expected unrest. Destiny Explorers and Issa Hamisi were very helpful and put together a safari trip within half a day that exactly met our wishes.
We opted for a 10-day private tour with 9 nights.
It was absolutely a great trip and everything was very well arranged. Compliments for this all the more because everything was so short in advance and there were major internet problems nationwide.
Our guide and driver, David, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
He had the car completely under control, even though it was very old and worn out.
The 4-wheel drive no longer seems suitable for this kind of safari. It has a worn-out interior; the cooling and brake systems (leaks) were faulty, which made us finally feel unsafe despite our excellent driver.
The lodges where we stayed were of good quality and the food was fine.
The payment of our trip was quite difficult.
We booked on the spot, this also had to be paid on the spot. Online with credit card or directly via our bank was not possible due to missing IBAN number of the Tanzanian bank. Finally paid via Revolut which we have been working on for about three days because these kinds of amounts are extreme checks. Received scam warnings which caused a lot of unnecessary stress.
So a number of points of attention for this fairly young organization.
Furthermore, an absolutely great trip!
