6 day safari with Destiny Explorers
Amazing 6-Day Safari with Destiny Explorers
Destiny Explorers and Issa Hamisi were very cooperative and put together a safari trip exactly according to our wishes.
We chose a 6-day tour with 5 overnight stays.
We had already spent four days in Stone Town, Zanzibar, and flew from there to Arusha.
Destiny arranged a nice hotel for us in Arusha, where we met a representative from Destiny Explorers to settle the payment details.
We stayed overnight, and the next morning we were picked up after breakfast — our adventure had begun!
First of all, we have to say this was an absolutely fantastic trip.
What incredible wildlife Tanzania’s national parks have to offer!
Serengeti and Ngorongoro gave us memories for a lifetime.
Our guide and driver, David, was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
What he didn’t know about nature and wildlife wasn’t worth knowing.
He also had full control of the vehicle, even though it was a bit old and worn.
Our Land Cruiser could definitely have been better maintained — the wipers, starter motor, and brakes were not in perfect condition, and the rear seat belts were missing.
Still, the car did its job well, and David handled it perfectly.
We truly think the trip was amazing, and we highly recommend that anyone planning a safari includes Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The lodges we stayed at were of good standard, and the food was excellent.
We chose a private tour, meaning we had the car and guide entirely to ourselves.
When it comes to payment, there’s one thing worth mentioning:
One-third of the total cost was paid electronically as a deposit when we booked the trip.
However, what we found quite challenging was that the remaining balance had to be paid in cash, in USD or EUR.
For us Europeans, this is unusual — and getting hold of that much foreign currency can be difficult.
In Norway, where we come from, it’s no longer possible to withdraw foreign currency directly from a bank.
You have to use ATMs with poor exchange rates or expensive services like Loomis, and there are also strict withdrawal limits due to anti–money laundering rules.
Had we known how difficult this would be, we would probably have chosen a company that allowed full electronic payment.
That being said, we absolutely loved this tour, and we’re sure Destiny Explorers will sort out the payment matter.

A fantastic plan for a trip of a lifetime!
We had an amazing time on our 10-day safari with Destiny Explorers. From the initial quote until our trip commenced, Issa was quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. Our guide Nico greeted us with a warm smile that rarely left his face as he expertly drove us to all that we wanted to see, all while educating us on the wildlife and cultures we were experiencing for the first time. We’ve travelled a lot on a modest budget, and all of our lodgings either met expectations or far exceeded them. We would 100% book this again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Destiny Explorers to handle your once-in-a-lifetime Tanzanian adventure!

Excellent and Reliable Trip in Tanzania
We had an excellent experience with Destiny Explorers during our day trip from Moshi to Arusha and back to Kilimanjaro International Airport. The communication was clear, the timing precise, and the driver was professional, polite, and dependable throughout the journey. Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned, making it a service I would confidently recommend to anyone visiting Tanzania.

ABOVE OUR EXPECTATIONS!
We went on a 4-day tour to: Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ngongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park.
First of all, the communication beforehand with Destiny Explores went very good, they had a quick response time, were flexible in thinking along and anticipated quickly to give you a secure feeling.
Secondly, the driver Hussain - he is a amazing person and he was our walking Tanzanian Google. His experience in the field is just tremendous he knew so much about the nature, animals, vegetation, tribes etc.. Therefore we learned so much about Tanzania due to his knowledge.
One day another car in the mountains was having issues and Hussain was there to help them, this shows his character as a great human-being. May God bless him and his family. Amen.
Furthermore, the lodges were we stayed: Foresight Eco and Tukaone Serengeti Camp were clean, good food, wifi and very very friendly people.
Hence, I can highly recommend Destiny Explores they will give you a truly beautiful experience. No doubt!

In Love with.. Tanzania
I booked my Safari with Issa of Destiny Explorer, who found a solution for all my requests. I choosed the Serengeti for a very special moment of my life: the engagement with my girlfirend under an unforgettable sunset. Tarimo, our driver and guide, was very calm and gave us a lot of information about wildlife during the safari. We felt safe all the time during the safari. I suggest this agency for the professionality of its staff and the organization of the trip.

Issa is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to provide a safe and enjoyable tour.
Issa of Destiny Tours took my son and me to Materuni waterfalls and a nearby coffee plantation. He provided a fun, engaging, and informative tour while explaining traditions, history, and day-to-day experiences of the wonderful people of Tanzania. I took the tour on my special birthday and Issa discreetly arranged for the coffee farmers to sing Happy Birthday to me while making my day most memorable and enjoyable. I highly and confidently recommend Destiny Tours and Issa!

Destiny Explorers Issa is a Trickster.
We booked a 4- Night Serengeti Safari which included Mid luxury Lodge booking. He confirmed 4- nights in 4 different lodges. He showed us good Lodges when we booked but then he changed the lodges to low catgory & CHEAP lodges rather small with minimal facilities. We really suffered with him. We checked with the 2 of the Lodges (Ikumbi & a Farmhouse) & these were booked only about 3/4 days before our arrival while he collected the Advance payment almost 30- days before our arrival. And both these lodges were small & even had more 50% vacant rooms. Initially he showed Kankari Lodge & Eileen Tree House.
Even the Guide was too slow & I dont know if he had knowledge about Serengeti. He asked to guide him where we wanted to go.
My advice NEVER book a full Safari with Destiny Explorers.
Reply from Destiny Explorers
Posted on Sep 30, 2025Hello Radhey Gupta,
It was a pleasure to host you and your family from India. We believe we did all we could to ensure you had an amazing experience with Destiny Explorers. I (Issa Hamisi) personally spent two days with you, showing you around Moshi town, including a Kilimanjaro day hike and a visit to Materuni Village. Our guide, Mr. Tarimo, was also very happy to host you for your safari in Tanzania. Mr. Tarimo is undoubtedly one of our most experienced and knowledgeable guide (with more than 20 years in guiding experience). He is one of the best guides at Destiny Explorers based on our previous clients' comments about him. It's unfortunate that you have not had a chance to enjoy his service. However, I believe at some points you must have had a great time with him taking you around the parks for the 5 days.
Regarding the lodges, ALL of them are mid-range and not luxury as well as the one you stayed in are mid-range as we confirmed earlier via email by the time you confirmed the booking. I was very informative with you in all aspects concerning your safari. We had phone calls and shared text messages almost every day, answering any questions you had. One day before your safari, for the third time I provided a briefing note about the entire safari and the lodges you would be staying in after dropping you at Arusha Four Points Hotel. You were all happy and appreciative of the plans. It's unfortunate that all the information was also shared via email prior to your arrival, but you mentioned you didn't have time to read it, which led to us communicating primarily via WhatsApp.
On behalf of the entire team at Destiny Explorers, I believe in learning from any mistake that might happen during our service deliverance and ensuring smooth communication with our clients prior to their safari.
Thank you again for your trust and also choosing Destiny Explorers.
Best regards,
Issa Hamisi

Divers safari itenery, fund and knowledgable guide and fantastic loges!
Itenery of the Safari was great, very diverse. Our driver was Hussein, who was very flexible, nice and also knowledgeable about the wildlife - it was fun and educational, and he did his very best to spot animals for us, constantly consulted his colleagues on the road to ask who saw what where to take us to the greatest spots. The lodges used by Destiny Explorers were all fabolous! On the flip side, what was not so great was the car - it was very old and clearly struggled to go uphill and was very slow; and the food was very basic - we would have preferred a more fancy picnic option and a thermos of COFFEE in the car.
Overall I would recommend the operator, the itenery and also Hussein as a driver - we enjoyed and are one experience richer!
