Our safari trip was amazing from start to finish. Every day was a well-planned adventure, and we were even lucky enough to witness the Great Migration passing - a true highlight of the journey. The car was comfortable, and the accommodations were great; we never felt like anything was missing and had everything we needed throughout the trip.

A huge part of what made it so seamless was our guide, David. He is experienced, a great driver who made us feel safe at all times, and incredibly knowledgeable about every animal and bird. Beyond his expertise, he’s just a genuinely warm and friendly person who is easy to chat with.

An unforgettable journey all around - highly recommended!

Highly recommended – an unforgettable safari with a fantastic local company!
5/5



We went on a multi-day safari with Destiny Explorers, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, as well as taking additional excursions around Mount Kilimanjaro, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The trip was incredibly rewarding, exceptionally well organised and worth every cent. In our opinion, Destiny Explorers offers the best value for money by far.

One aspect we’d particularly like to highlight is that Destiny Explorers is a small, locally owned company – a wonderful alternative to the many larger operators run by foreign companies. We really appreciate being able to support a local business with our booking.

A huge thank you goes to our guide, Hussein, who made our trip truly special. He is incredibly helpful, friendly and attentive, with an impressive knowledge of wildlife, nature and life in Tanzania. We could ask him anything at any time, and he always explained things clearly and enthusiastically, helping us understand the bigger picture. Most importantly, he has an exceptional eye for spotting animals and a remarkable ability to interpret their behaviour. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and witnessed some fascinating moments, from large prides of lions and cheetahs on the hunt to rare rhinos.

What particularly sets Hussein apart is his personal commitment. During our safari, we repeatedly noticed other guides simply dropping off their guests and then waiting in their vehicles. Hussein, on the other hand, always accompanied us, pointed out interesting things and explained what there was to discover. He was consistently by our side and genuinely went out of his way to ensure we experienced and understood as much as possible. He also placed great importance on keeping his vehicle clean. Whenever time allowed, he cleaned both the exterior and the interior of our safari vehicle after the tours. His attention to detail and dedication really impressed us.

The accommodation and food were also excellent throughout the entire trip. All the places we stayed had been carefully selected, were beautifully located and offered a comfortable place to relax after eventful days on safari. We were equally happy with the food at every stage of the journey. Everything came together perfectly, from the accommodation and meals to the organisation of each part of the itinerary.

Communication with Issa, the owner of Destiny Explorers, was also excellent from the very beginning. He was always professional, reliable and pleasantly unobtrusive. All arrangements were straightforward and trustworthy, which made us feel we were in good hands even before the trip began.

Over the course of that week, we experienced so much, saw an incredible diversity of wildlife and created memories that will stay with us for a long time. The organisation, Hussein’s guidance and the overall value for money exceeded our expectations.

We wholeheartedly recommend Destiny Explorers and would travel with them again without hesitation. A huge thank you to Issa and, in particular, to Hussein for making this such an unforgettable experience!

An Unforgettable Trip with an Amazing Local Company – Highly Recommended!
5/5

We booked our safari in Tanzania with Destiny Explorers, and we would choose them again without hesitation. From our very first contact to the end of our trip, everything went smoothly. Communication with Issa, the owner, was always friendly, professional, reliable and never pushy. We felt we were in good hands from the very beginning.

Destiny Explorers is a small, locally owned company and a great alternative to the many large tour operators run by foreign companies. What really impressed us was the excellent value for money. For everything that was included, the price was hard to beat.

A very special thank you goes to our guide, Hussein. His warm personality, helpfulness and incredible knowledge made our safari an unforgettable experience. Whether we had questions about animals, plants, nature or everyday life in Tanzania, he was always happy to answer them, and we learned so much from him. He had a real eye for spotting animals we would never have noticed ourselves. He could often tell what might happen next just by watching their behaviour. Thanks to him, we were able to see large prides of lions, cheetahs hunting and even rare rhinos. He always took his time with us and did much more than simply drive us from one place to another.

What stood out to us in particular was how dedicated Hussein was. We sometimes saw other safari guides drop their guests off at a viewing spot and then wait in their vehicles. Hussein, on the other hand, always came along with us, pointed out interesting details and explained what we were seeing. It was clear that he truly cares about his work and about making sure his guests have the best possible experience.

The accommodation and food were also very good throughout the trip. The places we stayed were beautifully located and offered the perfect setting to relax after exciting days on safari. Everything was very well organised, so we never had to worry about the arrangements or logistics.

Our days in Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater were filled with special moments we will never forget. Seeing wild animals in their natural surroundings and spending nights surrounded by nature were truly extraordinary experiences.

Our conclusion:
If you are looking for an authentic safari with a dedicated local company, an excellent guide and outstanding value for money, Destiny Explorers is the perfect choice. We are incredibly grateful for this experience and wholeheartedly recommend Issa, Hussein and the entire team!

Flawless and lovely day trip, with wonderful people
5/5

What started with a very impromptu request for the next day, became a wonderful experience for the day. Issa was so friendly and very quick with his communication and even made the effort to greet us the next day before we went on our day trip to the Materuni waterfalls with Nick, who was also great. We were then met by a local guide who was very knowledgeable and so lovely and took us on the short hike to the waterfalls. After that the locals had prepared a tasty lunch and we could experience the whole process of making coffee from the bean on the tree to the last sip - with a whole local ceremony. It was such a brilliant day. Of course it will all be made for tourists, but it never felt like a 'process' and everyone was so personable and down to earth. Nick the driver was also fantastic and navigated the bumpy roads very well and with a friendly vibe. We'd definitely recommend these guys. Asante sana!

5/5

Destiny explorers made our honeymoon an unforgettable adventure. Well organized and our guide/driver David was an excellent host. He is a friendly and very knowledgeable guide and had good eyes for details and hidden animals we definitely would have missed. As a driver he drove responsibly and safe.
The hotels and tented lodges were between good and fantastic; absolutely a wonderful experience that created lasting memories.
