Amazing
Sep 2024 • Couples
We travelled from the UK as a couple. We originally booked the 'Take a Cue from the Big 5' tour through Tanzania Go Adventures which is a sister company of Destiny Explorers. We booked around 9/10 months in advance. On arrival, it was Destiny Explorers who ran the tour. Prior to the tour, the company made sure they were aware of allergies and were on hand to answer any questions.

We had a private jeep as advertised which great, and I recommend getting private as you have more room to move around and can customise tour as you go.

Our guide Noely was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and he went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to! We never felt unsafe.

We were picked up from our hotel on time which was great. Our tour consisted of 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 1 day in Lake Manyara, 2 days in the Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater. I would suggest to others to skip Lake Manyara as much of it is shut because of flooding, and many animals have migrated. That said, we still had an amazing experience with the elephants coming close to the jeep so was worth it.

The accomodation was all really nice, and we were well fed throughout the trip. There is little downtime to enjoy the pool so if this is important to you, I'd recommend extending the trip to do shorter game drives across more days. The sun is hot during the day but it rapidly cools in the late afternoon when you return to the lodges. We loved the accomodation in the Serengeti (Tuakone serengeti camps) as we could hear and see hyenas at night!! We also heard lions.

We ticked off the big 5 which was amazing, and we saw so many animals.

We had a great time and would absolutely recommend this company!

6-day safari and best experience with a local company and guide
Oct 2024 • Couples
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 tour guide. We always felt safe and have so many wonderful memories. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers

Trust Destiny to go above and beyond-
Dec 2024 • Family
Northern circuit - Six day safari including lake Natron

Above and beyond- they surprised a member of our group celebrating a milestone birthday with a cake and entire hotel staff singing happy birthday. We also had a member with trouble getting up in the jeep, Destiny provided a step to make it easier for her! In addition. flight was two hours late. The owner waited and picked us up and welcomed us all with a smile.

Service- The owner Issa, is who you set up your safari with. He communicates very well and encourages questions to ensure the safari is what you are dreaming of! (I asked about 50 questions with courteous replies each time! )
We had a northern circuit 6 day safari. And it is a Full 6 days of awesome!

Tour- Our guide Denis was amazing, kind and caring! He was open to sharing information about the safari and Tanzanian culture. Denis listened to what we were looking for and allowed us time to watch nature while still getting us to see the Big 5 including the Lion King! The roads can be really rough, but Denis made sure to take care of us and the car. He is a very safe driver and just an awesome person to be around!

Value- we found this trip and price better than anything we could have imagined!! I compared prices from 8 companies and found many use the same hotels with Destiny providing the best value at each.

Vehicles- clean and comfortable. They are well cared for and when compared to other companies are the same in age and condition.

7days Safari + 4days trek on Mt. Meru
Aug 2024 • Couples
We had an amazing experience with Destiny Explorer.
We choosed them for a 7days Safari and for trekking on Mt. Meru and couldn’t be happier of our choice.
Issa organized everything for us taking into account all our requests. Communication with him has been fluid and efficient.
Our guides Gilbert and Houssein accompained us during the safari of a lifetime: they were very competent, ironic, supportive and funny. In a perfect english they explained everything we needed to know about animals and nature and shared stories and opinions. We felt like they were long term friends and enjoyed their company.
All accomodations satisfied our expectations and food was good and various.

Peter has been our guide during trekking on Mt. Meru. With huge patience he supported us all the way up to the peak of the mountain with a positive and encouraging attitude. We will always be thankful to him for giving us the chance of living one of the best experiences or our lives: see the sunrise behind mt. Kili. A big thanks also to the rest of the crew. Accomodations were not as good as we expected, but this is not imputable to Destiny Explorers as the two lodges are the only ones available on the way up and the rangers should take better care of them.

We would really reccomend Destiny Explorers for two reasons:
- it is founded and owned by local people and responsible travel should always support local realities
- it provides a top quality service with an excellent quality/price ratio.

Thank you!!!!

Perfect Safari
Oct 2024 • Couples
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!

Absolutely fabulous!
Dec 2024 • Family
We had an amazing experience with Destiny Explorers. We are picky travelers and wanted to make our own itinerary according to our previous research on the area and our interests, so Issa helped us find the best alternatives and we came up with a cool plan for our 7-day safari.

We had two guides (an English-speaking driver/guide and an extra guide that spoke Spanish, who we thought could help those of us not fluent in English during the trip). Both of them were very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions about the animal species and also gave us interesting facts about Tanzania, its geography and its culture.

The selection of tented camps and lodges was perfect and we enjoyed all of them. They were clean, nice, comfortable and the food was mostly amazing.

Finally, seeing the animals in their natural habitat was quite breathtaking. This was some of us’ long life dream and we were very satisfied with this trip.

Thank you so much for our great adventure!

Fantastic
Jan 2025 • Couples
We had a wonderful safari! Issa from Destiny explorers was very helpful in assisting us through the booking process and our driver Daniel Mrongi was fantastic and spoke great English - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and funny! We saw every animal we wanted to see. The accommodation was also great. When we return to Africa we will definitely book our safari through Destiny Explorers again.

Destiny Explorers is a very professional company
Sep 2024 • Couples
Destiny Explorers is very reliable. All the accomodation were good, especially the camp in Serengeti (Tukaone). Our tour guide Noel was very kind and friendly. With Noel we had the opportunity to see several animals (all the big five, many lions). The best parks regarding landscape and animal spotting was Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We would recommend Destiny Explorers to all the tourists. Have a good safari in magnificent Tanzania.

Compassionate and caretaking
Feb 2024 • Solo
I'm dreaming of a canoeing safari for a whole year now, so this was something special - but all my expectations were met.

The communication was good from the beginning. Unfortunately the date had to be postponed due to unstable weather, but Issa, the owner of the company, explained everything to me so I felt in good hands.

When finally the day arrived, he and Tom, the guide, picked me up early and we went to Lake Manyara for a game drive. Both, Tom and Issa, are really enthusiastic and funny guys, so we had a great time. When we met other clients spring the game drive, Issa always asked about their safari, he was really interested in all of his clients.

I'm not just interested in seeing the Big Five, so Tom also was looking for other animals. He knew and explained a lot, I appreciated it a lot.

Finally there was the canoeing safari. It was really hot that day but still the two guides managed to show us a hippo. We got life jackets and instructions what to do and not to do, so I felt safe during the whole trip and free to enjoy.

I had a great safari with Issa and Tom and with the guides from the canoeing

Exciting Adventure in Tanzania
Apr 2023
This was one of the best trips we've ever taken as family. We enjoyed exploring the parks in the private Jeep with Issa our personal guide. He took us to Serengeti NP where we saw the great migration. Tarangire and Ngorongoro were also special as he knew the best spots for game watching. Food was exceptionally good in the lodges and take aways that we took with us for game drives. The key highlight was following the migration on a hot air balloon. This was awesome. The walk on Ngorongoro rim with an armed guide was also special. So exciting because being in the open jungle.
I highly recommend Destiny Explorers
