Destiny Explorers was responsive, competitive, & delivered on their commitments. Highly recommended!
My wife and I spent a couple months searching all the potential itineraries and various tour companies prior to selecting Destiny Explorers and an 8 day 7 night Safari to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and my birthday. We were pleased with our selection of both itinerary and company. I felt they deserved a 5 star rating and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking. With that said, I will attempt to lay out pros, cons, and various experiences we had which will hopefully help someone else reading reviews.
I'll begin by simply laying out our itinerary and lodging. Then I'll later come back to give my feedback on the parks and lodging.
Day 1 - Tarangire: Our itinerary started with pickup in Arusha at our hotel. While the majority of the trip was very punctual, the morning of the first day started about 45 minutes late (8:45 AM) because I believe our guide was tending to something related to the vehicle. We first stopped by a souvenir shop and local art gallery in Arusha. Then we drove for 3-4 hours to our first game drive in Tarangire national park. We spent about 5 hours on at portion prior to driving about an hour to our first night hotel at Eileen's Trees Inn.
Day 2 - Lake Manyara: The next morning we left around 8:30 AM. We went to a couple different souvenir shops in Karatu, and then drove an hour or so to Lake Manyara national park. We spent around 7 hours doing a game drive there before making our way back to Eileen's Trees Inn for night two. We were back around 7 or so.
Day 3 - Lake Natron: We left around the same time and went to another souvenir shop before going back to the one we had visited the day before to make some purchases. Then we had about a 4-5 hour drive to Lake Natron where we did a hike to a waterfall, went swimming in the pool caused by the waterfalls, hiked back and then drove about 30 minutes to the Lake Natron "beach". We walked across the salt flats to get closer to the many flamingos. After it got dark, we drove to our lodge the Safari Comfort Bungalow and got there around 7:30 or 8.
Day 4 - Serengeti: I got up and went back to the same "beach" for sunrise photographs with the flamingos. Then we got back to the lodge to get ready and on the road by around 9. The itinerary labeled this day as Northern Serengeti, but I think all the Serengeti days were somewhat blurred on what part of the park we actually were. The drive to get to the park entrance took around 5 hours. We then did around 5 hours of a game drive until getting to Narudi Tented Camp for our lodging around 5 or 6. We would have stayed out longer but it was raining.
Day 5 - Serengeti: This was supposed to be Western Serengeti according to the itinerary, but I think we stayed more central. We got up for sunrise leaving the camp at 6 AM. We did about a 3 hour game drive before returning to Narudi for breakfast and about an hour or so nap. We then left at 11:30 AM and did a 6 hour game drive before making our way to our next lodge at Tukaone Serengeti Camp which wasn't terribly far from Narudi. We got back there around 7 PM.
Day 6 - Serengeti: This was labelled as Central Serengeti on the itinerary. I think we actually stayed more central and Eastern. We started a little late but then did roughly 8 hours of exploring and didn't get back to Tukaone Serengeti Camp until 7:30 PM.
Day 7 - Ngorongoro Crater: We started by departing for sunrise at 6:30 AM to make our way from Tukaone to Ngorongoro Crater. It took roughly 4-5 hours to get to the entrance if I recall. We spent around 4 hours doing a game drive around the crater before spending an hour or two to get back to Eileen's Trees Inn for our final night. We got back to the hotel around 6:30 PM.
Day 8 - Lake Eyasi: We left the hotel at 5 AM and drove about an hour to an area near Lake Eyasi. We were introduced to the Hadzabe Tribe of hunters who taught us some of their click language and about their hunting tools. Then we went out on a hunt with them followed by them making a fire and cooking the birds that they killed. The tribe did some dancing and singing for us and we left around 10 AM. We drove a short distance to visit with the Datooga Tribe. They taught us about their culture and then showed us their blacksmith livelihood where we participated in the process of making arrowheads. We spent around an hour and a half with them prior to making our 4 hour journey back to Arusha. Once back in Arusha, we went back to the first souvenir shop and purchased a few more items prior to getting dropped off at our exit point around 4:30 PM.
Now for my breakdown of the various components of our experience.
Destiny Explorers & Issa Hamisi: When I first reached out through SafariBookings.com, I reached out to 3 different operators at the same time with the same message to see how various companies would respond. Issa was very quick to respond and gave better responses than the others I reached out to. I listed several questions in my initial outreaches to the various companies. Most all of them only answered some of my questions and most gave somewhat copy/paste answers. Issa was similar to this but was more intentional to answer than others were. After my first batch of outreaches, I reached out to an additional 5 or so. I didn't realize that Destiny Explorers was in my second batch of outreaches also. This is easy to happen because I was looking through the various itineraries and packages and not so much just looking at the tour operators. It was after this outreach that I got a similar response to my initial one, but Issa also reached out to let me know that it costs his company each time I send a new inquiry vs continuing to work with the initial one. This is a good thing to note if you are using SafariBookings.com. Before it was said and done, Issa had a 30 minute Whatsapp call with me and was very accommodating to answer all my questions. One minor thing that either wasn't communicated or that I missed was that no drinks other than water would be included throughout the trip. I knew that this was the case while in the vehicle, but I was surprised that nothing beyond water was included with our dinners either. At a few of the locations even the water was an extra charge.
I would absolutely go through Destiny Explorers again in the future and was pleased with the process. The costs were competitive and it wasn't a nickel and dime experience. When I asked about modifying the itinerary or changing some of the lodging, he was able to provide clear pricing that facilitated us making an educated decision at each step of the way.
Our Tour Guide Eliona Tarimu: Eliona was a very kind and considerate guide. He is an older gentleman who had clearly been guiding for a very long time. This was evident at multiple times throughout the trip. He knew many of the other guides and they clearly knew him as well. The was the same for park rangers at the various parks. I believe this made for some elements of the trip to be a bit smoother. He was also a clean-conscious guide. He kept the jeep clean inside and out as much as possible, and I believe even took the time to clean it throughout the trip. He invited us to take our shoes off and stand up on the seats when we wanted a higher viewpoint. This meant we were also on the ground in our socks often. We didn't mind though because he kept the vehicle clean which was appreciated. He was also very intent to make sure we were well taken care of with food, water, and interacting with others on our behalf if needed.
If I were to list some ways that Eliona could have made the trip better or potential areas of improvement, I would start by encouraging more communication. We didn't always know what to expect when it came to drive distances or "how much longer" type things. We also didn't really know what we should be expecting. There were certainly many times we did get those things shared with us, but I think there could have been more. It was also very difficult for us to hear and understand him. He speaks good English, but he does have a thick accent (for us). But beyond this making it hard to understand, the jeep has a great deal of road noise so it was hard to hear in general. To make it more difficult, he didn't always speak up and often as facing forward while talking because he was driving - but we were sitting behind him. I felt he could have shared more information about the various animals which also would have been helpful. He shared many things about smaller animals or even birds, but not much about the big game.
One area that I'm not sure if it was a pro or a con was his driving. He was a very cautious driver. I couldn't tell if it was due to being an older gentleman, wanting to make sure his guests were comfortable, or trying to make sure to avoid vehicle issues. I drive a big 4x4 truck back home and enjoy off-roading. Many of the roads on this safari were very rough and filled with potholes. We saw many other vehicles with flat tires or dealing with troubles. I think part of why we didn't have those problems was because his driving. At the same time, if it was dark he would drive extra slow because the shadows caused by the headlights made every road imperfection look much worse than they were. He was also very timid with downhill drives to the extent he seemed concerned he would lose control if he didn't hold the brakes the entire time going downhill. The only reason the overly cautious driving would be mentioned is because I was wanting to capitalize on as much game drive time as possible. I felt we could have gotten from park to park faster which may have given a little more time in the park. Again though, we didn't have vehicle issues like many others.
Overall Eliona was excellent!
Lodging
Eileen's Trees Inn (Karatu): This is a nice hotel with great accommodations and a great staff. They were very helpful and always had big smiles. The rooms were comfortable. We had hot water mostly, but it did run out during one shower (my wife took hers first). The food was buffet style and very good each meal we had and we would happily go back here. We also did an hour long full body couples massage ($35 each) on our last day. My wife said hers was excellent. Mine wasn't so great but overall we were very happy they allowed us to schedule last minute and came to the room for the massage.
Safari Comfort Bungalow (Lake Natron): Very nice hotel and experience somewhat similar to Eileen's Trees Inn. Water was hot. Room was clean and comfortable. Meal was a prepared plate vs buffet, but food was very good and staff was very friendly.
Narudi Tented Camp (Serengeti): This was probably our favorite accommodation. The room was a great tent with wooden floors, a nice warm shower, and even a little seating area in the tent beyond the king sized bed. We heard a lion attack a wildebeest that night and of course heard plenty of other wildlife which made it even more exciting. Meals were buffet style and very good. They were working on their main tent area which meant our meals were in a smaller more temporary location. It was nice nevertheless and the staff was wonderful.
Tukaone Serengeti Camp (Serengeti): This tented camp was more advanced than Narudi. Instead of a zipper door on the tent, Tukaone actually had a full wooden door with lock and all. The room was large and the bathroom had its own wooden doors as well. The staff was probably least attentive at this location compared to our other lodgings. You weren't allowed to walk alone at night when staying at any of the places inside the parks (for safety reasons of course). At Narudi they gave a flashlight and you signaled the staff for them to come walk you to dinner and back. At Tukaone, they took it a step further and gave each room a walkie-talkie radio. But then every time we used the radio to call the staff, nobody would respond. This made it less impressive for sure. A couple times I finally just walked without them because they weren't responsive. The first night there we actually didn't have any water at all. After about 15 minutes for trying to reach someone, they came and got it working. But then we didn't have any hot water. We tried reaching someone but no luck. The next day they were very apologetic and did get the hot water working. I think one of the reasons for the trouble was an elephant had been in the area the day prior and messed some things up (at least that was the explanation). Food at Tukaone was buffet style and very good. They also have a great bar and lounge tent along with a fire place that was used each night. I think had it not been for the lack of responsiveness and water troubles, this camp would have been very high up on our list. With some good management, it would easily be a top location. One more example that just highlights that the staff just wasn't quite there yet. Every hotel we got to greeted us with a warm wet towel for our hands, a glass of juice, and an easy-going attitude looking to serve us on our schedule. Tukaone had a strict 7:30 dinner time. When we got there the first night at 7:10, they were stressing that we needed to be to dinner at 7:30 and then proceeded to sit us down to tell us the rules of the camp and where things were even though we wanted to get our things to our tent and clean up prior to the hard 7:30 dinner time. They did offer juice but no warm wet washcloths like the other locations. That's all minor but anecdotally describes the staff flavor compared to the other locations.
Vehicle
One of the things I asked a lot of questions about before booking was the vehicle. We read many reviews that gave us some concern about how important the vehicle is. After going, I think pretty much all the vehicles looked the same. There were some styles that had the whole front and sides of the jeep open with the seats elevated as the rows went back. I would have hated that for multiple reasons. Ours was the regular Land Cruiser with the roof that raised when out on the game drives. It was well maintained and clean. The seats were comfortable and there was an extra cushion on each seat making them that much more comfortable. I don't think any of the safari vehicles have air conditioning because you drive with the roof open. It would have been nice during the drives going from park to park, but it didn't work because the rough roads cause regular issues. Overall the weather was very nice and we only felt hot maybe one day. It was nice to have a power inverter built into the seating area so we could charge devices, but I was disappointed that the refrigerator didn't work. Something was wrong with the unit, so instead Eliona would put frozen water bottles in the cooler each day which was a bit of a makeshift fridge effort. It works decent for the most part, but there was a day or two he couldn't get ice. There was also a piece of plastic used for one of the window slides. Eliona had mentioned that the window had broken the day or two before. The fix was this piece of clear plastic which worked overall, but didn't have a proper latch and didn't slide open and closed easily. That made it a bit of an inconvenience trying to deal with it and also the rattling noise because it couldn't latch.
Parks
First of all, I was pretty surprised how very different each park was. I anticipated we would be visiting 4 different parks that would feel like the same park with 4 different names. This is definitely not the case. Each park is very unique.
Tarangire: The was a good first park to go to. We got to see lots of elephants, giraffes, ostriches and others. This was the only park out of all of them where we saw the big baobab trees. These are very cool trees that I wish I would have known we wouldn't see again. I was hoping to get a good sunset photograph of a landscape with these trees. I think of all the parks we went to, I would probably place this park at the bottom of the list although I'm very glad we went and certainly enjoyed it.
Lake Manyara: It was a completely different type of landscape here. It felt very tropical and like a rainforest which made for a new environment to see and photograph the various animals. Following an elephant walk through the rainforest is more enjoyable than following him walk through an open field. We so most animals here minus lions and rhinos. We only saw one cat, but it was a leopard up in the tree which was great.
Lake Natron: The description on this day was a bit inaccurate. It referenced a few hour hike to get to the waterfall which would imply a similar distance back for a 4-6 hour hiking session. It was in fact about a 30-40 minute hike to get there. I was fairly disappointed on the timing at this location because we didn't know we needed to hurry to get to the flamingos. By the time we got there, the sun was already going down which made us miss getting photographs of the flamingos with the vibrant pinks caused by the sunlight.
Serengeti: This was the most exciting of the various parks. More info what to expect would have been appreciated. I think we could have seen a bit more if we didn't go East on the second day because we needed to take that same route to get to Ngorongoro Crater on Friday. We were glad we stayed in the park as it gave us sunrise and sunset opportunities. It also added the excitement of hearing the animals outside our tent each night.
Lake Eyasi: We could have easily skipped this part although it was fun and unique. We were somewhat spent by mid morning from getting up so early. We actually didn't even go to the lake because I felt a little pressed to get back to meet our transportation that was getting us back to Nairobi. We enjoyed the uniqueness of hunting with the Hadzabe people though. Had I known in advance that we were going to need to get up at 4:30 for a 5 AM departure on this day, I would have planned our sleep or other sunrisesd/sunset moments differently.
Souvenir Shopping
Each of the places we went had some great options. The shop in Arusha was impressive, large, and very clean. The pricing here is fixed and I think more expensive than the others. The one we liked the most was the second shop we went to near Karatu. It was called Safari World. Everything there is negotiable. I think a good target is roughly 50% off whatever the first numbers if not more. The quality options for the wooden carvings was very good here also. The Tanzanite Experience shop was higher priced with very little selection compared to the other places. The smaller shops on the drive had a lot of things, but the quality wasn't as good as the other locations.

Allen was the best
We had a nice time in this safari have seen all of the animals, some of them have been sleeping. The Serengeti was amazing and if i would a safari again i would stay 4 nights in Serengeti. The jeep was really old and i can understand that it is not easy to have new ones, but this particular one was really bad! All the drivers drive like crazy through the area as the distances are really too long. The owner Issa is a nice young fellow who knows the business in and out!!!

excellent service in an authentic way
We are excited about the safari we booked bij Destiny explorers, a young, small company, that gives you an extra personal service!
The contact before we travelled to Tanzania was very professional and quick, we got an answer to all our questions and the suggestions we got were very helpful!
Even we didn't know what to expect, the communication with ISSA, the owner, gave us a reassuring feeling.
Once in Tanzania, everything was as communicated and promised.
Our guide/driver was young and enthusiast who really loved his job, and he did everything to provide us an unforgettable safari!
The lodges were awesome, and the food (as wel breakfast, dinner and lunchboxes) was delicious!
Also the activities next to the safari (one day walk on Kilimanjaro, coffee explanation, walk to waterfall) are very well organised and impressive!
We are very grateful to the whole team of Destiny!! and of course we recommend this pure Tanzanian company to everyone!

Good overall experience
Me and my wife have been travelling with Destiny explorers on a 5D/4N safari at the end of september across 4 national parks in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara): I won't mention here how fantastic and adventurous the whole trip was...!
We booked plenty in advance (in January '23) but due to the company being quite small and the low season we would have probably found a seat also a few weeks before (but maybe not flights and accomodations).
We choose it because it was one of the cheapest company providing the tour we wanted and the accomodation (mid range) and the tour proposed were perfectly fitting our needs: to be honest we were a bit apprehensive about the reliability of the company and the personnel until we got to Tanzania and met the staff; being such a small, possibly unknown company and having paid such a lot of money in advance from the other side of the world made us feel a little worried until the last moment: the same feeling would have applied for any other safari company probably.
In one word we have no regrets in our choice!
PROS:
- being a small company we managed to keep the whole cost within our budget compared to the thousands of companies on this site
- the accomodations were absolutely gorgeous (2N in "Ngorongoro Forest tented Lodge" + 2N in " Serengeti baobab camp") and we couldn't ask for more despite them being cathegorized as "middle range". The food was also perfect, both for the buffet/restaurant dinners and for the packet lunches.
- this was a private safari, only the two of us on the jeep, deciding times and movements according to the guide: this was a huge pro compared to other companies providing group safari (we've seen even 8 people on a single car) at an higher cost.
- despite the low price we did absolutely everything else that all the company did; we went in any place and saw everything was possible to see and more; infact we kept meeting the same cars from all the different companies in every stops we made.
- Peter, our driver and guide was exactly the person we were aiming to have with us in the tour: he was extremly serious and professional, few words but the right ones at the right moment! His english was very good, he was listening to the radio to bring us to see the rarest animals when spotted.
- the car had 2 UK sockets with a 220 inverter to charge your phone or camera, an old fridge to keep your water cold (free bottles of water were provided), pop up roof, no AC, manual windows, lots of space.
CONS:
- main negative (or less positive) point would be attributed to the car and overall safety: on our last day in Serengeti we stopped at a gas station to get one tire fixed and one, that was completely worned out, replaced and we found out both spare tires on the back of the car were punctured and would have not be possible to use them in case of a flat tire during the trip until that moment; on our last day the morning pick up was delayed becase the car wasn't starting at all: our guide went above and beyond his duty to get it fixed fast. Car stopped suddenly due to an harsh brake and we had to be pushed by another car to start it. Seat belt wasn't properly latching. Fridge was old and little dirty inside. To summarize: a very very old car that definitively requires big maintenance that should be done BEFORE starting the tour and not left to the driver to fix it as an emergency. We were lucky that nothing major happened (we have seen other companies with very big issues on their cars that fully compromised the whole safari), but this shouldn't be left to luck: a break down in the middle of Serengeti would have cost us a couple of days to get a new car delivered.
- the food the accomodations provided for our packed lunches were good and appetizing yet little basic for somebodies needs: we were absolutely happy with our choices and to spend less than an hour for the pick nick (we were there to see animals, not to waste time in lunch and getting drunk!), but this might be a little disappointing for somebody: we've seen tables prepared with proper hot food (rice, chicken, soups etc) and even with beers and wines served in glass chalices... not what we were looking for, but just an heads up if you fancy that kind of "high standard" comfort.
- last but not least was a little/big misunderstanding at the very end of the journey that left us with a bitter feeling: I calculated and prepared a very decent tip for the driver based on what I read online being a fair amount and on our experience with the car damages and overall comfort. There was a moment of embarassment with the driver as I handed the money to him and he counted... he asked for more in a very polite way, 20 USD per person per day, total 200 USD! We got to find out we were actually paying his own salary as he was not receiving any money from the company. This was very disappointing from many point of views: we were not aware of this fixed price we had to pay, it could have been communicated from the very beginning (I just had enough cash to cover this but I was left without a dollar for the rest of my trip). Why was not this a fixed price per car but it was per person if this was the driver's salary? Tip should be a free choice in quality and quantity and not a fixed imposed price... we would have been happy to know and pay this from the beginning as part of the safari cost.
OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS:
All went fine and we had an awesome experience.
Destiny exporers was exactly what we were expecting in terms of costs, quality, services so for us it was a 9/10 choice, but it could not be for everybody if you wish to pay slightly more and have a better comfort and safety.

Posted on Oct 20, 2024Greetings Enrico,
Thank you for your trust also for choosing Destiny Explorers to your host in Tanzania.
It's a previllage for us to host our clients and meet their expectations regardless of being a small company. We really appreciate that and it gives us energy to continue doing our best as much as we can to delivery unforgettable experiences.
Moving forward, we will try to provide more details in our presentations about the tour to avoid any miss-information.
Again, thank you for pointing out the vehicle issue as we discussed during your trip that we are going to sort out everything in our vehicles to make sure our clients are comfortable and nothing to worry during their trip with us.
Although break down is quite normal in the parks due to the rough roads as you witnessed major issues in other companies' vehicles. Luckily for us, we were able to fix all the minor issues in our car on time and make you proceed with you trip until the last day. It make us happy that we met your expectations and you enjoyed your safari with us.
-Regarding Tipping
To be honest is an appreciation to the service provided and not compulsory to be given to the service provider based on what has bee recommended by the company. I think it suppose to be the exact or more than what has been recommended by the company only if the clients are happy with the service provided and met their expectations. And with no doubt this was in details in the itinerary. Bad luck this scenario happened between you and our safari guide/driver. We apologies for all that happened and make you feel embarrassed or humiliated in any way or another.
As Destiny Explorers managing director and the entire team we shall work out on this and make sure it does not happen again to our future clients.
Again thank you so much for selecting Destiny Explorers out of many big companies in Tanzania.
Sincerely,
Issa Hamisi.

Beautiful safari experience
Beautiful safari experience in a wonderful land. Excellent guide, the only thing to improve is the fact that the lodges indicated in the guide have been changed, without informing us. For the rest we recommend everything!

Kind and caring guide
Issa was taking me to a Massai village.
He wasn't only a driver but also a guide.
He showed me the environment on the way, told me about the cities we were passing by and the weather at our destination.
Whenever I wanted to take pictures he stopped or showed me a nice spot.
He told me what I could expect as soon as I would be there - without spoiling the surprise about my welcome there

An excellent and amazing experience
My wife and I spent several hours researching various safari packages offered by several tour companies. We decided to go with Destiny Explorers and we were not disappointed. Our contact, Issa, was so professional answering my many questions via email. His timely and detailed response was appreciated and helped us prepare for our safari.
Once we arrived our assigned guide for the first day was Thomas. He was so much fun and informative as he took us to the Arusha National Park. From day 2 through our last day our guide was Nico. We made friends with him right away. He's so kind and informative. He told us about each and every animal, the culture and so much more. He never got tired driving us for hours each day through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and more.
We were thrilled to see so many animals. Our guide, Nico was skilled at driving and spotting animals at the same time. He didn't miss a thing. We saw the big 5 (my wife got a glimpse of a rhino, I missed it) and so many other animals. We got so many amazing photos and videos.
The lodging that Issa selected for our stay were wonderful. We stayed at a variety of places including a luxury tent on the Serengeti. That was amazing!
Our safari trip was for 8 days. Issa was wonderful to help coordinate a custom package for my wife and I. Someone from Destiny Explorers was there to pick us up at the airport and we had a personal guide all the way through to the final drop off on our last day. We were always in good hands and felt safe everywhere we went.
I could go on and on about how wonderful and amazing our experience was with Destiny Explorers and their skilled team of tour guides. They are 5-star top quality. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an amazing Safari experience.

Unforgettable Week!
We had the most incredible 7-day safari with Destiny Explorers! Our guide, David, was an absolute gem — endlessly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and always ensuring we were comfortable and well cared for.
From spotting lions, elephants, leopards and giraffes to visiting a breathtaking waterfall and meeting two local tribes, every day was filled with unforgettable moments.
Each evening, we stayed in beautiful lodges and camps offering warm hospitality, delicious meals, and stunning views. We truly felt looked after from beginning to end.
Highly recommend Destiny Explorers to anyone wanting to experience the magic of Tanzania in just one week!
