Experience to Remember
We booked our safari which include various locations in Tanzania for game drives, and concluded in Zanzibar with a "blue safari" Prior to our arrival I was able to easily communicate with Destiny Explorers. They answered any questions we had. I did ask a question in regards to local currency (Tanzanian Shillings) if we would need to have some and I was told yes. So we did currency exchange upon arrival at the airport as it was not available in USA. Our guide, Nicholaus, or as he had us to call him "Nico" was AMAZING. He was with us the whole time of our game drives. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the tribes. We learned so many things about the animals and the cultures of the different areas we were in. Our guide only took us to local shops for souvenirs so the money stayed in the tribes, which we preferred. All of the accommodations through out our journey were great. All the staff at the various locations were very friend and helpful. We always felt safe. Throughout our trip it was easy to contact Destiny Explorers. They always responded quickly with any questions or concerns we had. The only negative things I have to say is we could have done without getting the shillings. It seemed like the preferred currency was USD that may be a result of the choices of our guide, I do not know, with that being said we would not have wasted the time and resources on shillings had we known this. We had such high expectations after spending so much time with Nico, we were quite disappointed the first day in Zanzibar when we were handed off to multiple people for roughly a 2 hour activity which did not go as described in our itinerary. I contacted Destiny Explorers and the next day we had the same guide throughout our 8 hour excursion that day. Overall we were very satisfied with Destiny Explorers.
They did a great job with everything.
The overall vale was great. And everything was great. They answered all our questions we had. Just wish they would have made sure we would have booked a flight that we needed before we got started on our tour. But bout tours Bush and beach was awesome

A professional, attentive, flexible, reliable organizor, and a good listener
This safari was planned as early as the end of last year. Originally scheduled for mid-May, we had communicated our travel plans with several companies and gradually received responses and quotations. Larger companies responded with standardized procedures—well-established but relatively rigid—and were less enthusiastic about our customized ideas. From the outset, Isa stood out for being flexible, proactive, and genuinely open to listening. Even when some of our requests proved difficult to implement, he didn't simply dismiss them; instead, he offered thoughtful analysis and practical suggestions, leaving a strong impression on us. Later, due to our circumstances, the trip was postponed to September, and ISA actively cooperated by adjusting the itinerary—from primarily focusing on central Serengeti to first visiting the northern regions before returning to the center. As a result, we saw the Big Five, witnessed the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River in a spectacular "river of life" scene, and even took a hot air balloon ride. The entire journey turned out to be exceptionally fulfilling. Our guide, Hussein, demonstrated outstanding professionalism throughout. He is an excellent driver, possesses extensive knowledge about wildlife and natural ecosystems, and has strong communication and coordination skills. Every evening at dinner, he would listen attentively to our feedback from the day's tour and clearly outline the next day’s schedule. Most impressively, he has sharp eyes like an eagle for spotting animals and always helped us find the best vantage points. In unexpected situations such as a flat tire, he remained calm and handled it swiftly, giving us a strong sense of security. Overall, we were quite satisfied with this experience. The only point that could be improved is the vehicle's condition, which appears somewhat outdated—there are a few cracks on the windshield and one armrest on the seat is damaged.

Posted on Sep 21, 2026Dear Fred,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review! It was a true pleasure working with you from the early planning stages all the way through your rescheduled September safari. We are thrilled that the route adjustments paid off with the Mara River crossing and the Big Five, and we’ll be sure to pass your high praise along to Hussein.
He truly is an exceptional guide. We also appreciate your honest note regarding the land cruiser's condition; we are actively addressing maintenance and upgrades across our fleet. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania in the future.
Warm regards, Issa
Extremely attentive and responsive service
We started planning our 10-day Tanzanian Safari around 18-months out. So after comparing lots of different tour operators, we selected Destiny Explorers.
We sent an initial enquiry to 3 different companies and the reply from Issa from Destiny Explorers was received first and was by far the most thorough.
After a couple more emails back and forth we started planning our custom itinerary. Issa was great with suggestions and always replied with updates or changes very quickly.
We felt very happy with our decision throughout the booking and payment process, but of course the most important part would be the tour itself.
Thankfully, the tour far exceeded our expectations. Tarimo was our guide and he knows Tanzania's Safari parks backwards. He get a hot tip about where something might be happening or even just a hunch based on past experience about where something could happen and 9 times out of 10 he delivered.
You'll read lots about how rough the roads are on the Safari trail and I can confirm that they are probably rougher than you could imagine, so you are going to want a smooth, considerate driver and Tarimo is both of these.
The accomodation that Issa selected throughout the tour was all of a high standard and the food was always tidy and plentiful.
It also goes without saying that the Wildlife experience was incredible. Multiple close encounters with lions and elephants and we also spotted 5 leopards and 4 rhinos on the tour. These are 2 of the toughest animals to spot, so 1 or 2 is usually good going but Tarimo kept putting us in the right place at the right time.
Overall, we were extremely happy with our decision to use Destiny Explorers and feel it was the perfect option for us.
We would highly recommend contacting Issa for a chat.

Issa was so helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had. He planned our perfect holiday.
Our 10 day Safari was just perfect. Issa was quick to answer any questions we had and our itinerary was amazing.
Our driver Tarimo was a great, calm, knowledgeable driver with many years experience, he seemed to know where to go to find the best animal encounters.
Our accommodation over the 10 days was top notch for our mid budget trip.
We did Arusha NP, Manyara NP, Serengeti , Natron, Lake Eyasi & Tarangire NP. They were all very different but we loved them all. Our cultural day with the Hadzabe & Datoga people was wonderful and we learnt alot.
