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.

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!

Perfect from the initial interactions until our last day
This was our first ever safari experience, Destiny Explorers was excellent.
From the begining Issa was very responsive and professional. We booked a private 6 day, 5 night tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Materuni Waterfall.
Our guide, Gilbert, was professional and very knowledgeable. He made sure we spotted as many animals as possible, and we were able to see almost all the ones on our list
All the accommodations exceeded our expectations. They were clean, spacious, and offered great facilities with warm hospitality. The food throughout the trip was delicious and plentiful.
I can highly recommend Destiny Explorers, if we’re back we will definitely book with them again!!

Wonderful experience!
We just got home from our amazing trip to Tanzania, organized by Destiny Explorers, and had such a great time! Issa was great to work with during trip planning, providing us with plenty of flexible options for our budget and timeline. He was always very responsive and available to answer all of our questions.
Our team on Kilimanjaro was the best! Elly and David were fantastic guides, and the whole team provided the support we needed to get to the summit. We are so grateful to have shared our experience with them!
Hans was our driver for safari and was wonderful at pointing out the animals we may have missed, as well as getting us into position to get great photos!
Our accommodations were very comfortable and each location made us feel welcome.
We were very happy with our decision to book with Destiny Explorers and would definitely recommend them!
Fantastic experience
We had a fantastic trip with Destiny Explorers in Tanzania
We booked a 5 Day 4 Night | Travel To Live
Adventure trip with stops in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in Central Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park.
We also purchased the optional balloon safari which was a wonderful experience.
The communication was amazing! Issa was quick to respond and explained everything in great detail. There’s was an issue with our pickup (the driver at the hotel fell asleep) when we arrived at 1am and Issa answered my phone call at 1:30 in the morning and quickly helped resolve the issue.
The accommodations were wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We stayed in Eileen's Trees Inn, 2 nights in Narudi Tented Camp, and Kankari Lodge. Everyone was friendly, the rooms were spacious and breakfast, lunch, and dinners were delicious!
The parks were amazing and we saw tons of animals (including the big 5)! Serengeti was our favorite! Literally animals everywhere!!
This was a private tour so we had more control about stopping for coffee or snacks, staying and watching animals longer and what time to leave on drives in the morning.
Our driver, Tarimo, was friendly, courteous, provided good conversation and had an amazing knowledge of The local flora and fauna. He was a very safe and measured driver which was particularly important given the uneven terrain we had to navigate in all the parks.
Overall it was an amazing experience and we highly recommend Destiny Explorers.
