9-Day Safari With Destiny Explorers
5/5

Destiny Explorers (Issa) planned an unforgettable 9 Day Safari including Lake Natron and made all of our dreams come true. He was very flexible and responsive when we had to make to make changes to our booking even when we arrived in Tanzania right after the elections, he called our hotel to check if we are okay and kept us posted about the pick up process.

Our tour guide, Nico, was very friendly and knowledgeable over all the wildlife. He immediately made us feel like family by sharing lots of stories and laughter. With his expertise and dedication, we saw all of the Big 5 including 64 Lions!

I can assure you if you choose Destiny Explorers as your Safari agent, they will exceed your expectations!

Making memories for a lifetime!
5/5

If you want to make unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime, get the best value for your money and experience A+ Service, then you should book a tour with Destiny Explorers! Issa, the owner, made sure that the whole booking and communication went absolutely smooth. He adapted the tour to our needs, always promptly responded, organized an airport transfer and much more. During our trip he was always just a message/ phone call away and made sure that the whole tour proceeded without and problems. Our tour guide Hussein was an absolute gem! Highly professionell, super knowledgeable and such a sweet soul! Thanks to him, we had the best time, despite the unstable political situation in Tansania at that time. He was always on time, in a good mood and helped us with everything! He spotted animals that would have otherwise remained hidden to us and all of that while driving super safe.

We can highly recommend Issa, Hussein and the rest of the team. You will get a trip which is not only worth the money but also a once in a lifetime experience that will stay in your heart forever ♥️

Beautiful 10-days safari But special attention to the car is definitely necessary
4/5

Beautiful 10-day safari with Destiny Explorers

We arrived in Arusha 2 days before the elections and wanted to leave as soon as possible due to the expected unrest. Destiny Explorers and Issa Hamisi were very helpful and put together a safari trip within half a day that exactly met our wishes.
We opted for a 10-day private tour with 9 nights.

It was absolutely a great trip and everything was very well arranged. Compliments for this all the more because everything was so short in advance and there were major internet problems nationwide.

Our guide and driver, David, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
He had the car completely under control, even though it was very old and worn out.
The 4-wheel drive no longer seems suitable for this kind of safari. It has a worn-out interior; the cooling and brake systems (leaks) were faulty, which made us finally feel unsafe despite our excellent driver.

The lodges where we stayed were of good quality and the food was fine.

The payment of our trip was quite difficult.
We booked on the spot, this also had to be paid on the spot. Online with credit card or directly via our bank was not possible due to missing IBAN number of the Tanzanian bank. Finally paid via Revolut which we have been working on for about three days because these kinds of amounts are extreme checks. Received scam warnings which caused a lot of unnecessary stress.

So a number of points of attention for this fairly young organization.

Furthermore, an absolutely great trip!

Amazing
5/5

We went on a week safari with Destiny Explorers in Tanzania back in August. This was the best experience we’ve ever had. The guide was super nice and explained to us a lot of things about the animals, their culture, etc.

We went to some different national parks and were able to see the big five!

The roads are long, but it’s worth every single km.

About the accomodation, this company has a really good price compared to others and the hotels/lodges were fantastic every day. Clean, nice and the people there was really caring.

You can’t miss sleeping in a camp inside the Serengeti!

6 day safari with Destiny Explorers
4/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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!
