Issa was so helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had. He planned our perfect holiday.
5/5

Our 10 day Safari was just perfect. Issa was quick to answer any questions we had and our itinerary was amazing.
Our driver Tarimo was a great, calm, knowledgeable driver with many years experience, he seemed to know where to go to find the best animal encounters.
Our accommodation over the 10 days was top notch for our mid budget trip.
We did Arusha NP, Manyara NP, Serengeti , Natron, Lake Eyasi & Tarangire NP. They were all very different but we loved them all. Our cultural day with the Hadzabe & Datoga people was wonderful and we learnt alot.

Excellent choice.
5/5

My husband and I went on a private safari called "10 Day Twende"—eight full days of safari activities, plus one night upon arrival and another before departure. From our very first contact, Issa proved to be punctual, helpful, and reliable. The package he offered was extremely reasonably priced—almost half the cost of many other quotes we received. Everything was perfect: from our driver-guide Tarimo—who was highly experienced, kind, knowledgeable, and a safe driver—to the selected lodges and tented camps, which were beautiful and offered welcoming staff and excellent food, making us feel completely at ease. The itinerary was comprehensive and brilliantly planned, allowing us to visit stunning locations, witness breathtaking wildlife encounters, and interact with the Maasai, Hadzabe, and Datoga tribes—all truly fascinating experiences. Although the days were demanding and tiring, we always ended the evening feeling deeply satisfied. Thanks to Tarimo’s skill, we never experienced any vehicle trouble, whereas we saw dozens of broken-down cars with disappointed tourists losing precious safari time. Our greatest wish was to witness the Great Migration river crossing, and that wish came true. We are certainly delighted to have chosen Destiny Explorers.

5/5

We did the 7-day twende safari and it was well rounded providing both great wildlife and cultural experiences. We got to see many parks( as this was our goal instead of focusing on less main parks) but we didn’t feel like we were missing on wildlife action. It’s one of the best value for money as it offers very good accommodations as well as entries in the main parks of Tanzania in a very competitive price. Our local driver, Tarimo, was also very polite, sweet and patient as well as a professional and really tried to make our experience better.

accommodating & responsive
5/5

I designed my own tour & they were very accommodating, as well as provided useful advice. E.g. I didn't want to sit in a car for three whole days, and tried to include activities each day, including walking safari & canoeing. They responded to emails quickly. I went with them because amongst the companies I inquired with, they had the most attention to detail in addressing my request.

5/5

My wife and I had the most amazing trip with Destiny Explorers. From before we even arrived the service was brilliant, with Issa updating us with itineraries and any changes to the trip as necessary with plenty of notice.

When we arrived our guide, Hussein met us at the airport and we started our adventure. Hussein himself was fantastic. He was so friendly, accommodating and knowledgable about not just the wildlife but the surrounding areas as well. Hussein was a huge part of why we had such a brilliant time.

The accommodations provided for us by the company were all brilliant too, with the food exceeding expectations and the rooms/amenities all being great as well.

Overall a fantastic trip, running out of good things to say about it, would recommend this company whole-heartedly!!

Very quick response and organisation of our desired tour tailored to our needs.
5/5

This was such an amazing experience. We got a very quick response when asking for a quote, it was the cheapest one available for the exact trip that we wanted and it didn't disappoint.
We chose a 4 day tour through 4 different national parks. Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire to cover all of the potential animals we wanted to see and it was truly outstanding. Each park was so different from the others, it's own environment and really individual. We saw everything than we wanted to see minus the very elusive leopard but this was always a rare chance. Our guide Obed was excellent and very patient with my photo requests and stops. We often skipped the standard tourist lunch stop and just ate lunch in the jeep whilst enjoying the surroundings and watching animals walk past.
The organisation was really good and we made the most of each day.
Something to be mindful of with this particular trip though is that is does involve a lot of driving between the parks, this was our choice of course given we wanted all 4 in 4 days. The roads are as bumpy as they say, enough that your watch will register 2x your daily step count without leaving the vehicle, but that is all part of the experience.
We did a private tour for two of us and this was definitely the best choice meaning that we could move on or stay places we wanted as we desired and the trip was catered to us. We spent as much time as possible standing up with heads out of the roof to take in the beautiful environment.
An unforgettable trip, definitely recommended.

Perfekt 14-day Family Tour
5/5

"We wanted to go on a 14-day tour through Tanzania and had a specific budget in mind based on previous experiences. Within just two days, Issa put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Issa responded to every request immediately and replied right away. We then did the exact tour with a guide. Before our arrival, we had problems with a visa. Here, too, Issa was able to help immediately.
Our guide David was very experienced and excellent at spotting animals in all the national parks. Thanks to this, we truly saw everything. The absolute highlights were spotting a leopard, cheetahs, lions hunting, and a river crossing as part of the Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti. A balloon safari in the Northern Serengeti was also one of the ultimate highlights. The lodges were very well chosen. We were traveling as a group of three with our adult daughter and were always able to stay in triple tents or rooms to save costs. In return, we treated ourselves to the expensive balloon ride, which I can highly recommend. David was a very cautious driver. Because of this, we didn't have any flat tires or other problems with the car. We were very satisfied and would book with Destiny Explorers again at any time."

Afterwards, we spent another week on vacation in Zanzibar. However, we organized this week ourselves, including the flight.
