6 day safari with Destiny Explorers
Amazing 6-Day Safari with Destiny Explorers
Destiny Explorers and Issa Hamisi were very cooperative and put together a safari trip exactly according to our wishes.
We chose a 6-day tour with 5 overnight stays.
We had already spent four days in Stone Town, Zanzibar, and flew from there to Arusha.
Destiny arranged a nice hotel for us in Arusha, where we met a representative from Destiny Explorers to settle the payment details.
We stayed overnight, and the next morning we were picked up after breakfast — our adventure had begun!
First of all, we have to say this was an absolutely fantastic trip.
What incredible wildlife Tanzania’s national parks have to offer!
Serengeti and Ngorongoro gave us memories for a lifetime.
Our guide and driver, David, was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
What he didn’t know about nature and wildlife wasn’t worth knowing.
He also had full control of the vehicle, even though it was a bit old and worn.
Our Land Cruiser could definitely have been better maintained — the wipers, starter motor, and brakes were not in perfect condition, and the rear seat belts were missing.
Still, the car did its job well, and David handled it perfectly.
We truly think the trip was amazing, and we highly recommend that anyone planning a safari includes Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The lodges we stayed at were of good standard, and the food was excellent.
We chose a private tour, meaning we had the car and guide entirely to ourselves.
When it comes to payment, there’s one thing worth mentioning:
One-third of the total cost was paid electronically as a deposit when we booked the trip.
However, what we found quite challenging was that the remaining balance had to be paid in cash, in USD or EUR.
For us Europeans, this is unusual — and getting hold of that much foreign currency can be difficult.
In Norway, where we come from, it’s no longer possible to withdraw foreign currency directly from a bank.
You have to use ATMs with poor exchange rates or expensive services like Loomis, and there are also strict withdrawal limits due to anti–money laundering rules.
Had we known how difficult this would be, we would probably have chosen a company that allowed full electronic payment.
That being said, we absolutely loved this tour, and we’re sure Destiny Explorers will sort out the payment matter.

I would say that everything was great and I really enjoyed the experience.
My experience with Family Leisure Africa Safaris was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfectly organized, and I truly enjoyed every moment of the trip. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and patient — they did everything possible to make sure we saw all the animals up close. Thanks to them, we managed to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos and many more. They also shared a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife.
The hotels and lodges where we stayed were very comfortable and clean. The food was delicious and offering both local and international options.
I was also amazed by the variety of landscapes we got to see — from wide open savannas and green forests to lakes full of flamingos. Each day felt different.
Overall, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was well planned, safe, and full of unforgettable moments. I’m really grateful to Family Leisure Africa Safaris for making this experience so special, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Africa!

Kind, friendly and reserved in a way that made us feel comfortable
Booking was easy and good communication on reserving the package with accommodation etc. The tour was incredible, everything was taken care for us, we didn't have to worry about a single detail. Dickson went out of his way to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. Dickson also ensured we were cared for at every stage of the trip. Considering the duration we were there for, the hotels we stayed in and the amount of driving, the price was very good value for what we got.

Perfect safari holiday
Me and my husband spent 7 days around Kenya in early october. We booked our safari with Leopard Orchid Safari and, from the very first enquiry they were incredibly responsive and always available to accommodate every request.
When we arrived in Nairobi, our driver and guide Alex was waiting for us.
During our trip, we decided to focus on Kenya's main parks (Amboseli, Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha).
Alex was the perfect guide and driver: tireless, extremely passionate about wildlife, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating information about the animals we encountered and gave us unforgettable moments thanks to his sharp eye for spotting animals from afar and his deep understanding of the parks.
We also had the chance to talk with him about Kenyan culture and history, which made the experience even more enriching and memorable.
Overall, I 100% recommend this tour operator. Thank you for making a dream come true!

Awesome Eight Days Trekking (Kilimanjaro -Lemosho)
We have been wanting to do Kilimanjaro for the longest time and this October we made our way to Tanzania for the dream trek. Reaching Kilimanjaro's summit was a challenging feat because of the cold, low oxygen and terrain but crew from Zara Tanzania made it all happen. They supported us with all the aspects ranging with climbing strategy and protocols, provided conditions that made our time comfortable by taking care of the food, lodgings, movement of equipment camp to camp and above all they took excellent care of us. I appreciate the efforts put in by guide Lema and his team. They were outstanding and friendly professionals who put our needs and safety first. I highly recommend going with Zara Tanzania as they are the best!

You can find exciting, well-organized safaris at Msafiri.
We booked a tailor-made trip setup by Msafiri. First we stayed in the Nje Bush Camp for 3 nights. As the camp is located in the middle of the Nyerere National park, you don't waste any time traveling to and from the park. This is a huge advantage for optimizing your safari time and spotting all animals at the waterholes at sunrise early in the morning.
The tents are huge, nice and clean. The bathroom is under the open sky with a bush shower which was filled by the staff with hot water every evening. You are surrounded by the animals and really one with the nature. You can see a lot of birds in and around the camp, but we also saw a lioness passing in front of our tents, and another day we saw an elephant passing really nearby the camp.
The food in the Nje Bush Camp was amazing. We have never eaten a breakfast so overwhelming : pancakes, fresh bread, eggs, sausages, jam, fresh fruit, juices, ..... The lunches and dinners were also delicious and varied. In the evening there was also a nice campfire where you could sit and enjoy the noises of night life with a drink or a good talk. The camp crew was very friendly and helpful.
During the safari we saw a lot of animals (Lions, Kudus, Giraffes, Wildebeests, Impalas, Monkeys, Elephants, Hippos, Hyenas, Leopard, Zebras, Warthdogs, multiple bird species, butterflies, .....) . We were lucky that our driver had sharp eyes to spot even the smallest ones (birds) and point them out to us.
After the safari we did a trip to Kilwa, (Unesco site), which was a very interesting historical trip to the many ruins there. The place is also a dream for birdwatchers.
Leina was our guide. She is great, organised, helpful, pleasant to deal with, ... We can highly recommand her and her crew members.

Perfect Safari with Africa Marvel
We had a brilliant experience as a family of five on our 3 day Safari organised by Africa Marvel.
Mercy was so helpful providing different options until we were certain of which we would go with (Tsavo East and Taita Hills). Communication was excellent from booking through to the trip itself. It was so lovely to get to chat to Mercy on the phone while we were mid trip - as she checked in to see how we were getting on.
The Safari itself was amazing - better than we could have imagined. Our Safari guide and driver Francis was the best, a consummate professional! Our lodges were beautiful and we were extremely happy with the standard included in the very reasonably priced package. I would thoroughly recommend - thank you Mercy and the team for making it so special for us.
