Fantastic experience
5/5


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.

Hands Down The Best Experience and Travel Agency
5/5

Issa is one of the greatest agents anyone could ask for! He was a fabulous agent that was communicative, responsive and above all transparent. Our safari trip was exceptional and would highly recommend everyone to use Destiny Explorers. They are Tanzanian owned, unlike many of the other companies out there, so they know the best spots for safari, negotiate the best prices and secure the best accommodations.
Also, your driver is arguable one of the most important parts of your trip. When you pick Destiny Explorers, you must ask for Omary. He is not only kind and caring, but he is so knowledgeable and intelligent. Omary helped us find every animal numerous times! We saw the Great Migration, saw the crossing of the Mara (it’s much rarer and harder to find than you think, and most don’t get to see it) saw leopards numerous times, more lions than we can count to include HUGE males and baby cub’s nursing, rhino and other animals we didn’t even know were in the Serengeti. Destiny Explorers and Omary will always be our top recommendation for anyone looking at coming to Tanzania.

Amazing 6 day Safari tour with outstanding guiding and service
5/5

The Safari was great! We chose a mid-range budget 6 day tour and got a private tour for our family with excellent value for the price.
Thanks to Issa, organization and communication was perfect before and during our stay and flexible to adapt to our needs.
All accomodations were well selected, and we especially loved the two beautiful lodges in Karatu and the tented camp in the heart of Serengeti.
Our experienced Safari guide Deo was very pleasant and always helpful, with impressive knowledge and passion for the protection of wildlife and nature.

Reliable tour operator offering excellent value for money, tour well-organized
5/5

We had a very nice 7-day tour across the main parks of Northern Circuit (Tarangire, Serengeti Central and North, Ngorngoro), and overall, everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Communication was good—sometimes a bit slow to respond, but don’t worry, based on our experience, the operator is very reliable. We had several questions and custom requests, and Issa was always flexible and eventually provided clear answers to all of them.
The price was very competitive, and we felt we got great value for money. The accommodations were all comfortable and well-selected, and the whole trip was well organized.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy operator and a great experience!

Unforgettable 4-Day Safari Adventure in Tanzania
5/5

We recently returned from an unforgettable 4-day safari through Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and I can confidently say it was the trip of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and much of that credit goes to our incredible guide, Baraka.

From the moment we met him, Baraka’s warmth, professionalism, and passion for wildlife made us feel instantly at ease. He has an extraordinary depth of knowledge about the animals, landscapes, and culture of Tanzania. Every sighting came alive thanks to his storytelling and insights—from the smallest bird to the great herds of wildebeest.

Serengeti National Park: The vast plains were everything I dreamed of and more. We witnessed lions lounging under acacia trees, a cheetah sprinting across the savannah, and elephants gracefully moving in family herds. Baraka always seemed to know exactly where to go for the best sightings, while still respecting the animals and the environment.

Ngorongoro Crater: A breathtaking natural wonder. Descending into the crater felt like entering another world, where wildlife roams in abundance. We saw rhinos, zebras, flamingos, and countless other animals, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the crater walls.

Lake Manyara: Though smaller than the other parks, it was full of surprises. The lush greenery and birdlife were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see a female elephant and her baby.

What made this safari so special was not only the beauty of the parks but the way Baraka guided us through them. He was patient, attentive, and always eager to answer questions. His driving skills were excellent, and he made sure we were comfortable, safe, and well taken care of throughout the journey.

Every day was filled with excitement, yet also with a sense of peace and connection to nature. The accommodations, meals, and logistics were seamless, but it was Baraka’s dedication and enthusiasm that turned a great safari into an extraordinary one.

If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend both the itinerary and Baraka enough. This was an adventure I will cherish forever, and I left with not only amazing photos and memories but also a deep appreciation for the wildlife and people of Tanzania.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – Absolutely unforgettable!

Beyond Expectations – A Truly Exceptional Experience
5/5

We just returned from a 9-day tour through Tanzania and had an absolutely exceptional experience with this company. It truly exceeded our expectations – both culturally and in terms of the incredible wildlife we were able to see. The hotels were wonderful, and the food was consistently very nice.

A very special thank you goes to our driver and guide, Nico. He was outstanding – kind, professional, always punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the country, animals, and culture. His insights made every day enriching, and his caring manner ensured that we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. Nico played a huge role in making this trip so memorable and unique, and we couldn’t have wished for a better guide.

All in all, this was an unforgettable journey, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Tanzania.

Absolutely amazing
5/5

Destiny Explorer was a real discovery: despite having a small misunderstanding when it came to managing the Spanish guide, the problem was quickly resolved and we were able to count on a fabulous and experienced driver and a young and enthusiastic translator who knew the terrain. With these premises, each day of the Safari was a true adventure, especially in the Serengeti, where we were from sunrise to sunset discovering every corner of this natural wonder. Wonderful and incredible experience, unforgettable for all those who love animals in their natural habitat.
