Destiny Explorers means perfect Safari time
5/5

We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari with Destiny Explorers, and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! Communication with Issa was excellent, with prompt responses and helpful tips on how to prepare for the safari. His choice of accommodation was perfect – we couldn’t have done better ourselves. Our safari guide, David, was extraordinary: he had a perfect driving style, was highly knowledgeable about wildlife, shared many fascinating stories, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights. We always felt safe and made so many wonderful memories. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers, and our dream is to climb Kilimanjaro with them in the future.

Very friendly and responsible people, who know very well how to show you the best of Tanzania.
5/5

We were very happy to have Gilbert as our guide. He is responsible, funny and knows very well the savanna. We travelled around Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The last day we went to lake Nathron and a waterfall going in it. We swam in the waterfall. It was a great adventure.
Destiny Explorer are reliable company and there was nothing we were worried about.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
5/5

My wife and I went on a five-day safari with Destiny Explorers in late October, and it was truly unforgettable! The landscapes were beyond words, from the Serengeti's vast plains to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. We were thrilled to see all the "Big Five." Our guide, David, was friendly and knowledgeable, making every game drive exciting and informative. The company manager, Issa, helped us plan an itinerary with perfectly suited accommodations. Each lodge was comfortable and close to nature, blending comfort with authenticity. The food was delicious and adapted to our dietary needs, a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers for exploring Tanzania's remarkable wildlife and scenery!

The best experience! Fantastic communication with a local operator and excellent safari guide
5/5

We booked a 6-night safari with Destiny Explorers and have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience! The communication with Issa was great and he was very prompt with responses. We customised our trip a bit and really appreciate his efforts to accommodate some special requests. Then our safari guide, Tom, was extraordinary. He was so knowledgeable, and it was a real pleasure to spend a week with him. It became evident very quickly that he had a lot of experience predicting animals’ behaviours, finding the best spots to get close, and a chilled personality that made us feel so lucky that he was our safari guide. I have so many examples to share but some of the highlights were:
1. Stopping to wait for a large male elephant to get close to our vehicle. He told us what he thought the elephant was after and to stay quiet. It was an amazing experience. We got close to several other elephants in herds in the Serengeti and it seemed like Tom always predicted their next move, so we got first row viewing to them playing in the mud, etc. while other vehicles tried to get closer.
2. Late driving in the Serengeti on our way to our accommodation looking for adult male lions by the river. We didn't see any vehicles in this area, and it seemed to me that Tom made the effort to stay a bit later and knew the spots we would find animals resting by the river. He was very respectful and didn't disturb animals, whilst managing to get close and staying as long as we wanted observing them.
3. We found a cheetah and stayed close for about an hour while it kept looking for pray, and we kept trying to get the best picture. Tom also knows a lot about cameras and tried to help us with settings to get the best picture. That day we saw 2 cheetahs and the staff in our accommodation couldn’t believe it, since they are hard to come by but Tom was able to spot them from miles away without binoculars.
4. Every day Tom helped other guides (from different companies) with car troubles, and it seemed like everybody knew him. We always felt safe and that we got the best possible experience while out in the vehicle

Great life experience
5/5

The tour was a great experience that we will never forget. Uncomplicated pre-planning and pick-up as well as the great tour with our guide - easy, friendly and exciting, communicating in English was no problem. Our guide did his best to make sure we saw everything, so we went home with no wishes left unfulfilled. Big 5 ticked off! Accommodations were as expected and vegetarian meals by arrangement were no problem. We would recommend it to anyone.

Extreme Professionalism and Excellent Customer Service
5/5

Destiny Explorers have excellent customer service and experienced drivers. Destiny Explorers were very accommodating with our last-minute reservations and met all of our lodging expectations. Our driver, Peter, excelled at ensuring we saw "The Big 5", our favorite animals (Hippos & Giraffes), several species of birds, beautiful landscapes, and tons of amazing wildlife (including Brother Cheetahs, a Leopard Cub, and Hyenas). If you are planning a Safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, or Tarangire National Park, choose "Destiny Explorers" and ask for "Peter". You will experience memories of a lifetime, safely "Up Close & Personal".

Unforgettable experience - excellent guide
5/5

Me and my partner had the pleasure of going on a six-day private safari with Destiny Explorers at the beginning of September, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the organization and attention to detail were exceptional. We visited stunning locations including Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron, the northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each stop was breathtaking and offered unique wildlife encounters. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us ample time for game drives while also allowing for moments of relaxation.
Our guide, Gilbert was always friendly and fun, making the journey even more enjoyable. He is an impeccable driver, ensuring that we always felt safe on the roads. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and ecosystems, and we were amazed by the incredible variety of mammals, reptiles and birds we spotted. He provided fascinating explanations about each species and it was great to learn so much about the local ecosystem. Gilbert made sure we got the best views of the Big Five and wildebeests migration at Mara River, sharing insights about the animals and their behaviors. His passion for nature is evident and really enhanced our experience.
Issa, the company manager, was helpful in planning our itinerary and selecting accommodations that suited our mid-range budget. He was also flexible and made a small adjustment to our itinerary during the safari, allowing us to visit Olduvai Gorge and its museum, which was a highlight for us.
The accommodations provided by Destiny Explorers were comfortable and offered stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Each location was well-chosen, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania. The food throughout the trip was delicious and catered to our dietary preferences, which was a nice touch.
We chose Destiny Explorers mainly because they are a local Tanzanian company, and we believe it's important to support local businesses in our travel choices. The dedication and commitment to providing a great experience were evident in every aspect of our safari.
Overall, we highly recommend Destiny Explorers for anyone looking to explore the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania. A special thank you to Gilbert for making this experience so memorable; your kindness, peaceful nature, expertise, and driving skills made all the difference. This trip exceeded our expectations, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have at least once!

Perfect Safari Operator
5/5

We booked a 6d/5n Safari (tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake manyara) and we enjoyed the tour a lot. Our guide was awesome and we had a good time. He was perfectly connected with other guides and helped us to see the big 5 within the safari. We stoped whenever we wanted to take some pictures and also the lodges we're really nice. Would absolutely book again with destiny explorers!
