A memorable first safari
Our first ever safari experience with Destiny Explorers was excellent.
We booked a private 5 day, 4 night tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
I chose Destiny Explorers over other companies because of their detailed quote and reasonable pricing, as well as the prompt and professional responses from Issa.
Our guide Gilbert was professional, kind and discreet - perfectly suited to us. His flexibility and insights added so much to our trip.
All the accommodations exceeded our expectations. They were clean, spacious, and offered great facilities with warm hospitality. The food throughout the trip was delicious and plentiful.
Don’t overthink it - book with Destiny Explorers. Thank you Issa and Gilbert for organizing such a fantastic first safari for us.

Responsive
We had a wonderful 6-day safari experience with Destiny Explorers and our guide, Denis. The company was responsive and had consistent communication from initial inquiry, through payment, and during our travels. Issa and his team made excellent accommodation selections that provided opportunities for rest during the adventure of a lifetime. As a driver and guide, Denis was engaged, proactive, and safety-minded. I appreciated how Denis encouraged questions not just about animals and the environment, but also about culture, language, and customs. We were better travelers and guests because of his leadership -- plus we saw all the animals on our list and had moments of absolute wonder. Cannot imagine a better trip for the price. Destiny Explorers, Issa, and especially Denis, are just fabulous.

Trust Destiny Explorers to go above and beyond providing the best experience
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.

Destiny Explorers is absolutely the right choice for a safari in Tanzania!
We had a very good time with Destiny Explorers. Even before the safari, the boss Issa was always available to answer our questions.
The selection of national parks was perfect. We were very lucky to spot all of the Big Five. Our guide David was extremely friendly, polite and knew the answers to all our questions. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge about the animal world. It was fun to spend time with him. The visit to the Maasai was also very interesting and exciting. We also hiked to the Materuni waterfall and visited a coffee farm. We were very happy with the programme we had chosen.
The selected accommodations were also excellent. We were treated in a very friendly and courteous manner. We felt very welcome there. The accommodations were clean and the food was delicious.
Destiny Explorers was also willing to adapt the original itinerary to our ideas and wishes: in the end we were driven to the airport for another two hours - at no extra charge.
Overall, we would recommend Destiny Explorers in every respect! Destiny Explorers gave us an unforgettable time and a fantastic safari trip. The price-performance ratio is also absolutely right here.

The Safari was excellent
The Safari was excellent!
We took the Safari with Destiny Explorers, and the service we received was excellent. Although we had some issues during the planning with Issa, the communication was always appropriate. We were able to add some places we wanted to go and Issa accommodated them. The places he chose to stay overnight for the seven days of the Safari were excellent, the service was impeccable, the driver and guide were very good and excellent people. I think we got the best value for money. In summary I would definitely recommend Destiny Explorers, we were all very satisfied. The service was impeccable.

Safari first timer- this was an amazing experience!
This was my first time in Tanzania, and my first safari! We were picked up from the airport by Issa who brought us to our accommodation for the night. He was super responsive with communication and provided reliable transportation. Our safari trip started the next day with Noel- he was the best guide! We had so much fun everyday with Noel leading us through the parks. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro and saw so many amazing animals! We saw the big 5 and so much more, including numerous baby animals. Noel was a very accommodating, experienced, and knowledgeable guide. We were so lucky to have him for the 4 days!

Great experience all around!
Issa was super responsive and helpful in helping plan and book our safari, and he even picked us up from the airport and stopped to see us before we left! Our safari guide Noel was great as well! He guided us to finding two leopards, 5 cheetahs, so many lions, as well as all of the big 5! We had an amazing time and would book with Destiny again!

Well run operator - Ndutu region recommended - saw everything we wanted
We did a 5 day / 4 night Serengeti tour. Spent most of our time in the south in Ndutu. This proved to be wise in late December where we saw the wildebeest migration, multiple families of lions, a cheetah , slept amongst the animals at night . It’s a great area . Our guide , David, is a solid individual and I recommend him. We saw 6 rhinos in Ngorgorgoro. We also did a walking safari near there but I would skip as it takes time away from the crater and is a little underwhelming . Issa who runs the company is very responsive and organized and you should book with confidence .

Amazing Safari Trip
We went on a 4 day/ 3 night safari trip with Destiny Explorers. It was such an awesome experience. Issa was amazing to work with and always responded back professionally and promptly to all my questions. He even assisted me with non-safari related topics and provided additional insights for the entire vacation. The selection of the camped tent - Narundi, was great. We were in Kenya and Tanzania for 2 weeks, and that was one of the best accommodation and food we had the entire stay. Our driver David was a joy to spend time with. He was very professional, patient, kind, and we enjoyed spending 4 days with him as our driver/guide. Highly recommend booking with Destiny Explorers.
