The tour is completely worth doing! Our guide was helpful, attentive, could read tracks of animals and had a great sense of humor!
We saw all animals in two days and the food was also good!

Thank you for this stunning experience!

Reliable, Friendly, Professional – Fantastic Communication! Very happy with our choice!
5/5

We had a wonderful time on our quick 2-day tour from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi with Destiny Explorers! Gilbert was an incredible guide - he was great at spotting game, would stop whenever so we could get amazing pictures, is incredibly knowledgeable, and was fantastic all around. We saw so many animals (and some much closer than I expected, which was so wonderful!). As well while the drive up to Mikumi is intense (busy highway, pass various small towns), I felt very safe with Gilbert driving. A huge shout out to Issa as well – thank you so much for the great coordination of everything. Your strong communication skills were really appreciated. Issa would respond promptly, always answered all our questions, and was very facilitative when we unfortunately had to postpone our trip to another weekend given unforeseen circumstances. Initially when researching options for our safari, I was a bit nervous about selecting the right tour operator, but with Issa I was quickly reassured that we had made the right choice. He never left me guessing on anything. On top of the incredible service from beginning to end, we got a very competitive price. The lodge we stayed at (Camp Bastian) was also fantastic – clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, a lovely welcome and yummy food. Issa and Gilbert, thank you both very much for such a memorable experience!

They really care about you, the customer
5/5

We have just finished an amazing 6 day safari experience with Destiny Explorers. We got to see just about every animal you could hope to see on safari and conpleted the big 5, ut highlights included leopards, lions eating their prey, and great wildebeest migration amongst many more. We had some hiccups along the way, but the way in which Issa handled any issues we had, ensured that things were rectified, and we left with an incredibly positive experience that means we would recommend without fail Destiny Explorers. They really care about making sure that everything went well, that we were satisfied and enjoyed the trip. We loved the experience, and we will leave with the best memories of our time here. The people are so kind and happy to help.

Go with Destiny! A 10 Out of 10 Star Safari Experience with Destiny Explorer in Tanzania!
5/5

Our safari tour with Destiny Explorer in March was a truly unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. This adventure was meant to be part of our destiny, full of exploration and excitement. We highly recommend this safari to everyone—110%!

This was our first trip to Tanzania and our first safari, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our lives, thanks to Destiny Explorer. We put in a lot of time and effort doing extensive research, comparing different providers, prices, reviews, services, tours, guides, and more. Choosing Destiny Explorer was the best decision we made.

Issa, the owner and founder of Destiny Explorer, provided excellent communication from the start. He patiently answered our many questions and catered to our needs, offering a fantastic package that combined quality and value for a 5-day safari. Our itinerary included Tarangire, Ngorongoro Highlands, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The package covered accommodations, game drives, and a fantastic tour guide, making this an experience we will always cherish.

From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were warmly welcomed by both Issa and our experienced guide, Cornell. Their professionalism and friendly vibes immediately put us at ease. Cornell was, without a doubt, the best guide and person we could have hoped for to lead us through the stunning African savannah. His deep connection with nature, passion, and extensive knowledge about wildlife and its symbiosis enriched our journey immensely.

Throughout the trip, everything was flawless. We saw all of the Big Five, and even in the last 20 minutes of our game drive on the final day, we spotted the nearly extinct rhino! Cornell not only excelled as a tour guide but also became a good friend.

The accommodations, food, and service included in our package exceeded our expectations. Issa’s itinerary was perfect, giving us the unique opportunity to stay inside some of the parks—an experience that was the cherry on top of the cake!

We cannot recommend Destiny Explorer enough. If you want to make your safari the greatest experience imaginable, choose them. We wish Issa and Cornell much success in their future trips and thank them for creating such magical memories for us. We will definitely be back one day, and our choice will be the same.

Bravo, Destiny Explorer, for making our dream safari come true!

A very fun safari with a very helpful guide
5/5

The four days were incredibly fun with music and lots of excitement. The guide showed extensive knowledge about wildlife and helped us understand what we were seeing. He also gave us insight into life in Tanzania and some customs and traditions of the local people. We saw the Big 5 thanks to our guide's patience. We always had fresh water. The first hotel (Omega) didn't have hot water on the first night, which can happen in Africa. I recommend bringing binoculars.

Very well organised, good communication and accomodations.
5/5

Everything was well organised, and all the accomodations were good and clean. Ilbert, our guide, took care of us very well and he was super friendly. He drove the car very safely compared to some other operators. He was also very Funny. We gained a lot of information about almost every animal but also about the country and the people who live Here. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see and this from every angle (driving back and forward when animals were moving). Due to his knowledge we could see that he studied to be a tour guide in safari trips.

Amazing tour full of surprises with the best guide ever!
5/5

Where should I start?
We booked a 5 days safari trip with Destiny Explorers from Arusha and we were not disappointed! We really enjoyed our trip. We saw so many animals all day long and spent really great time with our guide: Gilbert. He explained us all we had to know about the wildlife and the Tanzanian culture. He was very nice and peaceful. He guided us perfectly toward the different national parks in Tanzania. It was really the trip that we were looking for: chill, exciting and full of good surprises!
The communication with Destiny Explorers was very smooth as well and they were quick to respond. We also spent nice time in the several lodges where we slept. Food was good and all the staff was nice and helpful.
Well, thanks you Gilbert for taking us on a freaking awesome adventure!
Hakuna Matata! ;)

Well organized safari and experienced guides!
5/5

We booked a 6-day safari with Destiny Explorer and were definitely not disappointed. Everything was well organized, we felt safe at all times and Erasto, our guide, was very knowledgeable and was able to pass on a lot of knowledge about the animals and Tanzania as a country to us. On our last day in the Serengeti, he did everything he could to ensure that we could see a cheetah. We can especially recommend Eileen's Trees Inn as a place to stay - great food!
