Amazing Safari Experience & Outstanding Service
Our safari was truly unforgettable! The team was incredibly kind and did everything possible to fulfill our wishes and ensure we had the best possible experience. The accommodations were very comfortable and pleasant.
A special thank you to our driver – he did an incredible job! Thanks to him, we were able to see and experience so much. He was also very friendly and a genuinely pleasant person to be around.

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!

"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.

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"

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!

An awesome adventure
Our trip with Destiny Explorers this December was awesome. This was our first ever Safari and Issa promptly answered all of our questions and helped us with our Itinerary. Our guide Tarimo was super knowledgeable and kind. He communicated with other guides to find out what animals were spotted and where, so he could take us to the good spots. He was also happy to stop anywhere we wanted and gave us lots of information about the animals and places. Our only complaint is that the vehicle was really old and rundown (no AC) and features like phone chargers were not working. However it's good to note that the price quoted by Destiny Explorers was overall cheaper than some other agencies so it was okay. We still had a great time and would recommend people to book with Destiny Explorers.

Deams coming true
The accommodations were excellent in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and overall quality, providing a relaxing and well-maintained environment. The organization and timing were flawless: all activities followed the schedule perfectly, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any delays or stress.
A special mention goes to our guide, David, who was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. His deep understanding of wildlife and the local environment, combined with a calm and attentive approach, greatly enhanced the overall safari experience and made us feel safe at all times.
The food was also of a very high standard, with well-prepared, varied meals that consistently met expectations.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone seeking a well-organized experience with excellent service and professionalism throughout.

excellent organization
An excellent safari.
From the airport pick-up to the arrival at the hotel on the last day's return.
I opted for a 5-day tour (Tarangire National Park; Serengeti National Park; Ngorongor National Park and Manyara Lake) everything exceeded my expectations and those of our small group.
Many thanks to Issa Hamisi Safari.

9-Day Safari With Destiny Explorers
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!
