Perfect, big 5 check!
5/5

Together with my boyfriend, we did the 6-day safari. We had David as our driver, a kind and friendly man. He made sure we spotted both the rhino (from a distance) and the leopard, which are both hard to find in the wild. The accommodations were good, especially the tented camp in the Serengeti — it was beautiful. Lovely surroundings. Definitely recommended if you want to book an unforgettable safari.

Thank you Issa &Team for an unforgettable holiday with wonderful people and many special highlights!
5/5

The 3 of us had planned a 4-day trekking up Mt. Meru plus a 5-day Safari in Northern Tanzania. We inquired to several tour operators including Destiny Explorers. Issa´s feedback was very fast, and the suggested route / accomodations / destinations exactly matched what we had imagined. The price quote & itinerary were detailed, easy to understand and transparent. Overall, Destiny Explorer´s offer was the most attractive. From the beginning of our contact, communication was excellent. Every e-mail was answered very quickly, every question and concern attended to. Payment transactions all went smoothly. And Issa also gave us advice when we seemed to have delays with our visas.
At Arusha, we were warmly welcomed by our mountain team of 8 (including guides, cook, porters...) & Nico, to start our Mt. Meru challenge. Our guides Elly & Livin are just unique - we had so much fun with them, they were always good for a joke, they motivated and supported us at every step of the hike. Mt. Meru is more challenging than we had expected, but thanks to them we made it ! Our chef Ramadhan provided us with excellent dining (a LOT of food!). The whole team is just great : Elia the "waiter", and our porters who have such a hard job, yet are always cheerful and smiling (Emanuel, John, Wilhard & Jonas). Cheers to all of you and a big THANK YOU for making this possible and such a memorable experience for us! From the next day onward, we were in good hands with our cheerful and caring Safari Guide Nico, who took us to Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Transition was very smoth, transport all taken care of.
Thanks to Nico´s expertise, we got to see everything that Tanzania´s wildlife has to offer. Nico really went out of his way to make our trip comfortable, enjoyable and smooth and always had advice on any question. We had such a great time with him and will miss him dearly - cheers & big THANK YOU, Nico, for making this such an eventful and unforgettable safari! Saying good bye to ALL of you was sad ! All we can add as a conclusion is, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DESTINY EXPLORERS ! Thank you, Issa for the good organization, Thank you, Nico, Elly, Livin, Ramadhan, Eliah, Emanuel, John, Wilhard & Jonas ! I am sure we will be back some time soon & if any of our friends plan a trip to Tanzania, we will send them to your care :-)
With warm greetings from Austria to Tanzania - Michaela, Susanne & Timo. HAKUNA MATATA always !

I strongly recommed them
5/5

The safari exceeded our expectations. Both Issa and our guide took care of us the whole time. We only had a few minor issues that Issa helped us to resolve.
I would suggest some better maintenance on the vehicle, and maybe more explanations about the places we visited.
If we returned to Tanzania, I would not hesitate to hice them again

Very reliable, addresses individual wishes, and fast responses
5/5

We have done an 11-day private tour with destiny explorers covering Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, the Lake Natron area, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. Time flew by, we've enjoyed it so much and completed the Big Five - and saw many, many more fascinating animals! Communication was very smooth, we swiftly received responses and both the organiser and our guide were very reliable and kind. Overall, we can definitely recommend Destiny Explorers!

Excellent service
5/5

Perfect communication before and during our stay. We were satisfied with all our requests and managed to spend 2 days in Serengeti where we spotted every animal we wanted to see. Only suggestion would be for the guide, who was very knowledgeable, to be even more proactive in telling us everything about what we were visiting. Recommended.

An excellent and amazing experience
5/5

My wife and I spent several hours researching various safari packages offered by several tour companies. We decided to go with Destiny Explorers and we were not disappointed. Our contact, Issa, was so professional answering my many questions via email. His timely and detailed response was appreciated and helped us prepare for our safari.

Once we arrived our assigned guide for the first day was Thomas. He was so much fun and informative as he took us to the Arusha National Park. From day 2 through our last day our guide was Nico. We made friends with him right away. He's so kind and informative. He told us about each and every animal, the culture and so much more. He never got tired driving us for hours each day through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and more.

We were thrilled to see so many animals. Our guide, Nico was skilled at driving and spotting animals at the same time. He didn't miss a thing. We saw the big 5 (my wife got a glimpse of a rhino, I missed it) and so many other animals. We got so many amazing photos and videos.

The lodging that Issa selected for our stay were wonderful. We stayed at a variety of places including a luxury tent on the Serengeti. That was amazing!

Our safari trip was for 8 days. Issa was wonderful to help coordinate a custom package for my wife and I. Someone from Destiny Explorers was there to pick us up at the airport and we had a personal guide all the way through to the final drop off on our last day. We were always in good hands and felt safe everywhere we went.

I could go on and on about how wonderful and amazing our experience was with Destiny Explorers and their skilled team of tour guides. They are 5-star top quality. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an amazing Safari experience.

Unforgettable Week!
5/5

We had the most incredible 7-day safari with Destiny Explorers! Our guide, David, was an absolute gem — endlessly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and always ensuring we were comfortable and well cared for.

From spotting lions, elephants, leopards and giraffes to visiting a breathtaking waterfall and meeting two local tribes, every day was filled with unforgettable moments.

Each evening, we stayed in beautiful lodges and camps offering warm hospitality, delicious meals, and stunning views. We truly felt looked after from beginning to end.

Highly recommend Destiny Explorers to anyone wanting to experience the magic of Tanzania in just one week!

Great safari
5/5

Great safari, all the places we went were great. We managed to see the big 5 and more. The places we stayed ( we did lodge bookings) were really nice, all the hotels in Arusha and lodge glamping at serengeti were amazing. Our driver Tarimo was great, he had a lot of expertise to where to take you to see the big animals. He is ready to go when you are. Great safari, had a great time. No issues.
