Unforgettable experience
We did a 5 days private safari and it was amazing! Our guide Nicholas made everything better. The accommodations were super comfortable and we had the best time exploring the parks. Specially serengueti which was our absolute favourite.
Totally recommend!

Our experience far exceeded our expectations due to their professionalism and customer support
Our experience with Destiny Explorers far exceeded our expections. It began with Issa's total committment to providing us the best safari possible. He was patient,understanding and dealt with all our questions and concerns immediately. Our itinerary which he customized for us went through without any problems. He even supplied our guide for another two days with no notice to take us on separate excursions not related to the safari. The accommodations that he arranged were beautiful. I give special recognition to the Serengeti camp as it truly gave us the feeling of being immersed in the wild ( we had hippos grazing beside our tent!). Issa even drove to our hotel on our last night and surprised us with a gift of two of his company shirts after I said to our guide that I liked them. I can't say enough about our guide Hussein. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and how to spot them. He spotted everything from the "Big Five" to a baby bird on the ground calling for its mother and a Black Mamba crossing the road ahead. Hussein showed up each morning a half hour early without exception. He was extremely helpful and truly enjoyed answering our unending questions. He also laughed easily at all our corney jokes. He made it very clear that he was there to be of service to us and he was grateful to do it. He enjoyed the experience as much as us and was thrilled to narrate the lions behaviours as they were organizing a zebra kill. Even though he hadn't seen it before, he knew exactly what was happening when a Zebra was in the process of giving birth right beside us and although we were running late, he agreed that we should just unpack our boxed lunches, turn off the truck and watch the birth unfold. Its unbelievable how he spotted leopards in trees with fresh antelope kills where we couldn't see them until we were beside them. We felt very safe and comfortable traveling with him. Some other examples of how Hussein went above and beyond what was expected include arranging a surprise cake and traditional dance to celebrate our 30th anniversary, bringing us to a mobile data provider and helped solve a tech issue with our phone, picked up some sugarcane snacks for us when we were all hungry and most importantly in the middle of the Serengeti he spotted a single plastic water bottle on the ground and drove over to pick it up. I can't recommend Destiny Explorers enough and it was worth every penny spent. Many thanks to Issa,Hussein, Julia and our intrepid Land Rover " The Beast"

"Incredible 5-day safari to see the Big Five and more"!
I am passionate about discovering new countries and cultures, but I never post comments about my vacations. However, I will share my experience with you on the occasion of my 45th birthday.
This safari differed from my previous trips because I was dependent on the company I chose, but above all on the guide who would make my experience unforgettable.
In my case, the adventure began with the choice of company. I sent five requests for quotes for a five-day safari.
The prices quoted were more or less similar, with equivalent services. In unfamiliar territory, it can be difficult to make a choice. It was therefore essential to establish criteria. And that's where Destiny Explorer, with Issa (the manager) as my contact, really stood out.
Throughout our email exchanges, Issa was very professional. You could clearly sense his empathy and pride in his work. He was able to reassure us without ever being pushy. His valuable advice helped us optimize our itinerary.
If you have the opportunity, I recommend choosing accommodation inside the parks. In addition to saving time, the sensory experience will be magical. Hyenas, lions, hippos... the animals are very active at night, and you will hear them.
After all these details, the big day finally arrived.
As mentioned, I had spoken at length with Issa, but never with the rest of the team.
Nicolas, our guide, welcomed us at our hotel. The adventure could finally begin!
It was five intense days, with long game drives.
Some people talk about luck, but I would say that we had an experienced guide, and in my opinion, that makes all the difference.
His knowledge of the different parks allowed us to see the Big Five and more than 50 lions. The proximity to the animals was disconcerting. We saw all the animals we wanted to see.
It was an exceptional safari, despite our walking safari being canceled due to bad weather.
I would like to highlight Nicolas's smooth driving (pole pole), which is rather reassuring when you know that there are many accidents on the roads.
On the downside, there are the guides who will inevitably overtake you or block your view when you stop to look at the animals.
Although comfortable, sleeping outside the parks wastes a lot of time and makes the experience a little less wild.
I would therefore like to thank Issa for his kindness, professionalism, time, and for sharing his passion, as well as Nicolas, our guide, who took us to the right places at the right times, not to mention my wife, with whom I shared this unforgettable vacation and had a wonderful time!
I hope my post will help you make your choice.

Amazing Safari Experience
We just returned from a 5-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mayanara national parks with Destiny Explorers, and it was spectacular. From the first inquiry, Issa, the owner, was responsive and invested in making sure our trip was tailored to what we wanted. His attention and professionalism gave us confidence from the start that we were in good hands. We chose Destiny because it is a smaller organization and was also very competitively priced, but Issa's responsiveness was what convinced us to go with them.
Our guide Hussein was outstanding. His knowledge of the wildlife and sense for tracking animals meant he always knew exactly where to position the vehicle for the best sightings. Beyond his expertise, Hussein was warm, patient, and great company throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make every game drive memorable, sharing fascinating insights about animal behavior and local culture along the way.
The itinerary was well-paced, the accommodation arrangements were excellent, and the whole experience felt seamless from start to finish.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Destiny Explorers. We can't recommend them highly enough!

An unforgettable, perfectly organised and truly worry‑free Kilimanjaro experience
We chose the Lemosho Route for our Kilimanjaro climb and had an incredible experience. From day one, our guides Elly and his assistant Levi took great care of us—checking our gear, easing our concerns, and making sure we had everything we needed. The organisation was flawless, and we always felt safe, supported, and motivated. On summit day, their encouraging words and songs gave us the strength we needed. The entire team was wonderful, from the porters who greeted us with hot tea after summit night to the cook who prepared amazing meals at altitude. We can wholeheartedly recommend Kilimanjaro Winners and Safaris for a truly unforgettable, worry‑free adventure.

Unforgettable memories with a fair price
This is my first time going on a safari. I don’t know if they are the best safari company in Tanzania, but I absolutely have no complaints.
I contacted Issa directly to ask for trip information, and he was helpful and willing to answer all my questions about Tanzania. I love their beautiful quotation, which includes introductions and images. It is friendly for people who don’t know anything about Tanzania to understand what kind of animals we may see during the trip. The accommodations they arranged were also good, providing hot water for showers and no insects. Moreover, the food at the accommodations was delicious and offered a great taste of local flavours.
Our guide, Hussein, is not only professional during the trip but also knowledgeable about animals. He taught us many things about wild animals, and we increased our knowledge throughout the trip. Most importantly, he can foresee the movements of the animals, so we didn’t miss any special moments and felt like we were on the National Geographic Channel. Additionally, he is a good driver. We saw many cars from other companies broken down on the road, but we had no significant trouble because he had prepared for all the car's needs.
I highly recommend choosing Destiny Explorers as your guide in Tanzania.

Local Tour Operator who understands international travellers
We had a great 4 day tour in the Northern Parks of Tanzania. The tour was well organized and we appreciated that owner Issa was quick to answer questions and coordinate follow up. Our driver/guide Nico was excellent, he enjoyed telling many back ground stories on the animals and the parks. We were so lucky - in total we spotted 37 lions in the Serengeti! When we got hit by severe rains in the Serengeti and roads became rivers, Nico kept his calm and manouvered us safely through. All in all a unique and memorable trip, we really love to come again!
