Perfect organized Safari with the best driver
We did the budget 7 day safari and it was amazing! Paul the tour operator was responsive and reliable and all safari planning was smooth, seamless and without delays to respond to our emails with thousands of questions. James who was our driver guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of all the parks we visted. The camps and hotels were quite lovely for a budget option and the van was always clean. We had some issue mechanical issue on the last day but the team acted swiftly and provided an option to drop us at our diani hotel. All in all it was a great experience with the best team and very good value for money. I would definitely recommend them over and over!

Experience to Remember
We booked our safari which include various locations in Tanzania for game drives, and concluded in Zanzibar with a "blue safari" Prior to our arrival I was able to easily communicate with Destiny Explorers. They answered any questions we had. I did ask a question in regards to local currency (Tanzanian Shillings) if we would need to have some and I was told yes. So we did currency exchange upon arrival at the airport as it was not available in USA. Our guide, Nicholaus, or as he had us to call him "Nico" was AMAZING. He was with us the whole time of our game drives. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the tribes. We learned so many things about the animals and the cultures of the different areas we were in. Our guide only took us to local shops for souvenirs so the money stayed in the tribes, which we preferred. All of the accommodations through out our journey were great. All the staff at the various locations were very friend and helpful. We always felt safe. Throughout our trip it was easy to contact Destiny Explorers. They always responded quickly with any questions or concerns we had. The only negative things I have to say is we could have done without getting the shillings. It seemed like the preferred currency was USD that may be a result of the choices of our guide, I do not know, with that being said we would not have wasted the time and resources on shillings had we known this. We had such high expectations after spending so much time with Nico, we were quite disappointed the first day in Zanzibar when we were handed off to multiple people for roughly a 2 hour activity which did not go as described in our itinerary. I contacted Destiny Explorers and the next day we had the same guide throughout our 8 hour excursion that day. Overall we were very satisfied with Destiny Explorers.

They did a great job with everything.
The overall vale was great. And everything was great. They answered all our questions we had. Just wish they would have made sure we would have booked a flight that we needed before we got started on our tour. But bout tours Bush and beach was awesome

Amazing One in a Lifetime Experience!
An unforgettable safari experience!
This safari was a gift for my wife, and it turned out to be an experience we’ll never forget. Everything was organised for us, including the transfers, flights and food. We were picked up from our hotel early and on time, then met at the airport and guided all the way to security. Even the flight felt like an adventure, with the excitement of the safari ahead of us.
When we landed, our guide was already waiting and took us to the jeep. He told us we could take our time, skip anything we didn’t want to do and stay as long as we liked to watch the animals or enjoy the view. Pole pole—slowly, slowly. Within a minute, we saw our first monkeys! Our guide answered every question we had and chose his own routes instead of simply following the other vehicles.
We spotted elephants through the bushes and shared the sighting with the other guides. While trying to get a better photo, we had an incredible surprise: a herd of around 20 elephants walked right past us. Every vehicle switched off its engine. It was completely quiet, and everyone just listened to the animals. It was breathtaking.
Our guide knew the park so well. We saw monkeys, giraffes, elephants and zebras before he heard over the radio that lions had been spotted. Off we went—and soon we were sitting beside them as they rested under a tree. We could hardly believe what we were seeing.
Around lunchtime, the animals retreated from the heat, so we stopped for a meal and a break. Afterwards, we continued looking for a leopard. We didn’t find one, despite our guide’s best efforts, but that didn’t matter at all.
It was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. We would absolutely recommend this safari!

Couldn't ask for a better guide than James Gichina!
BREATHTAKING! I can't put into words how insanely good this trip was. From Ben who picked us up from our hotel, to James Gichina who honestly is the best guide you could ask for! He was so attentive, knowledgeable and was able to show us The Big Five on our first day! It was an out of body experience to witness how vast and full of life Masai Mara is. I've already recommended this trip to everyone I know, 100% worth it!

Fantastic Safari!
We did a 4 day safari as part of our honeymoon and couldn’t recommend Mountain Warriors highly enough.
Everything was sorted for us, including transfers, internal flights, food, drinks, and our fantastic guide, Victor.
Victor was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the wildlife, local geography and Tanzania itself. He was very friendly, chatty and helpful. He clearly had an expert knowledge of the parks and with him we were able to have some brilliant moments with a huge variety of animals.
This was an unforgettable experience and we hope to come back at some point soon!

Amazing Kilimanjaro summit with Charles, Isack and their incredible crew!!
I recently finished a 7-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho-route and I find no words for my experience. As me and my two friends booked the hike, we received an amazing price offer and access to an amazing communication crew ready to assist us from the very first beginning.
Our view of the company started at top, but got even better as we met our amazing crew as the trek started. We immidately got an incredibly professional view of our amazing main guide Charles, who came several times to our hotel to assist us in our preparations, being ready to show up whenever we wanted. With his long experience of the mountain, calm voice and knowledge about the trek, Charles was always there for us and made us feel safe even during the last tough days to the top!
Also, we had the amazing opportunity to meet our lovely Isack. With his positivity and motivating energy, Isack made us smile even when we felt at our lowest mode on the tough trek. I have seldom met someone so warm, serviceminded and motivating as him, a guide who made our vacation so much funnier than we could ever have expected! He and Charles were a real dream team to bring to the top!
In addition, we had an amazing crew of porters and an amazing chef! When we booked the trip, we were sure it was about to be a budget trek because of the affordable price. But our chef Dastan proved us wrong from the very first day. As we arrived at the first camp site, we were met by an amazing dining tent filled with one of the tastiest soups we had ever eaten. And it did not stop there. Right after the starter, we received incredibly tasty dishes with standards better than a hotel restaurant. With fresh fruit, a big variation of soups and tasty dishes of all kinds, Dastan gave us an culinary experience and energy that made our summit possible, I don’t know how to thank him enough.
Also, we would like to thank our patient and ambitious waitor Pita. Every morning, no matter the time, Pita came to our tents to serve us with amazing coffee and tea. With a big smile on his lips, he worked extremely hard carrying heavy equipment, before quickly being ready to serve us whenever we wanted.
And lastly, a big thank to the rest of the serviceminded, hard-working and positive porter crew, who everyday packed our stuff and prepared them for us before we arrived to every camp. With dance, big smiles and hard work, they made our Kilimanjaro trek all the way to the top possible, even making it feel easy for us. So a big thank you to Charles, Isack, Dastan, Pita and all amazing porters making our dream come true. It feels amazing being a part of your familiy :)

An Unforgettable Safari with Kush
We had an absolutely wonderful safari with Kush from JungleRoam. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease with him. He is calm, kind, and gentle, and his quiet, thoughtful way of communicating made every game drive feel relaxed and enjoyable.
Kush has an impressive knowledge of the Masai Mara and an incredible eye for wildlife. He is patient and never rushes a sighting. He takes the time to find the animals and, just as importantly, gives you the space to sit, observe, and fully appreciate each moment.
We also greatly appreciated his careful driving and the respect he consistently showed for the animals and their environment.
To us, Kush was much more than a driver and guide—he became an important part of our safari experience. His passion, patience, and warm personality made our time in the Mara truly special.
Thank you, Kush, for the wonderful memories. We will remember this safari for a very long time and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting the Masai Mara.
