Great Tour
Great Programm with a reliable tour operator. Unfortunately our car wasn't very well mentioned which made us worried about our safety at the end of the tour. Tour operator promised to give the car a detailed check up.
Reply from Destiny Explorers
Posted on Oct 16, 2024Dear Christopher,
We appreciate taking your time and review us. Again thank you for choosing Destiny Explorers to be your Tanzania Safari host.
We are happy that you had an amazing safari experience with us. We are sorry to hear about the vehicle and as we discussed after your safari, we have already maintained the vehicle as it had minor things to be fixed due to the rough road in Serengeti.
It was a great pleasure hosting you for this incredible experience.
Thank you so much for your support in our business.
Sincerely,
Issa

Perfect Safari Operator
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 fantastic experience
We booked the 6-day-romantic-bush-safari, as a private mid-range-tour for 2 adults, it was our first Safari.
We visited NP Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Olduvai Gorge.
We had an awesome time with our guide Joseph! He speaks very good english, he was always kind and helpful and we had a lot to laugh.
He is a very good driver, we felt always comfortable and safe.
The accomodations were excellent, especially in the Serengeti: what a magic feeling to wake up in the wild, in the middle of nowhere.
We would recommend 100% this tour and Destiny Explorers !!!

Take a Cue from the Big 5 tour
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!

A fantastic experience that fully met our expectations!
Destiny Explorers provided us with an amazing experience on our 6-day (5-night) safari to Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The guide is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to show you everything, with a few extra surprises along the way. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers!

Amazing! Cornel really showed us all the bush
The safaris was amazing, in 5 days we had the chance to see a lot of animals and amazing moments. We saw the great migration in Serengeti.. our guide had a lot of knowledge of the animals and he was flexible according to our wishes for the safari/timing.

Excellent
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!!!!

My first safari couldn't have been more perfect
It had always been a dream of mine, since childhood, to go on a safari in Africa, and I had the opportunity to do so in July 2024. We planned our safari for the months when the wildebeest migration takes place, and it was perfect from beginning to end. When we first contacted Destiny, we were looking for a 6-day mid-range private safari for 4 people, and the company adapted exactly to our needs with great value for money. The communication with Issa was excellent—always flexible, responding quickly, and being honest about everything. Our driver, Erastu, was the ultimate expert; he knew exactly where the animals were, and he was wonderful with us—always friendly, cheerful, and accommodating.
Thank you, Destiny and Erastu, for making our dream come true and exceeding our expectations. We will definitely return and go on another safari with Erastu, but this time all the way to Lake Mara to see the wildebeest crossing the water.

Allen was the best
We had a nice time in this safari have seen all of the animals, some of them have been sleeping. The Serengeti was amazing and if i would a safari again i would stay 4 nights in Serengeti. The jeep was really old and i can understand that it is not easy to have new ones, but this particular one was really bad! All the drivers drive like crazy through the area as the distances are really too long. The owner Issa is a nice young fellow who knows the business in and out!!!
