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

This was a very special tour! Great organization and all the time helpful communication!
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!

Excellent tour operator.
I am extremely happy that we chose destiny explorers after contacting number of operators. Issa was very responsive and answered all questions quickly and explicitly. He booked accommodation we wanted and adjusted safari to our needs. Our guide Cornel was excellent as well. Very knowledgeable and nice person to deal with. We highly recommend destiny explorers for safari in Tanzania.

Amazing experience, great tour guide
We went on a 3 day safari. Our absolute highlight was Ngorongoro Crater. Beautiful landscape and lots of animals - lions, elephants, rhinos, hyenas, flamingos, zebras, wilderbeasts and much more. Our tour guide Erasto was full of experience and stories about the wildlife. He was great and an absolute professional. We can absolutely recommend this tour operator.

Compassionate and caretaking
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.

Professional, thoughtful, experienced, friendly and promt.
We used Destiny Explorer for our guide/driver during our five day Safari package experience. It was a private tour mother-daughter trip. We covered, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyqra. We thoroughly enjoyed the mixed events which included game drives and the walking safaris. The additional cultural experience with the Hadzabe and Tonga tribes completed our unique and memorable 5-day experience in Tanzania. Our driver Bonniface, was the consummate professional: a thoughtful, experienced and knowledgeable driver and guide, he enlightened us not just about the wild mammals in the Safari but also the unique birds in the Savannah and in the Ngorongoro crater. We also had many great conversations with Bonni over meals on the culture and people of Tanzania. Last but not least we appreciated Bonni maintaining the jeep in great working and clean condition; especially when we passed a few vehicles with issues during our 5-day experience.
I highly encourage the Africa experience in Tanzania for everyone, and strongly recommend Bonniface and Destiny Explorer for your trip!! We did a lot of research and this tour operator is one of the most affordable and you will definitely get the bang for your buck.

An incredible experience with a wonderful guide.
Our tour was an incredible experience. We saw amazing animals, landscapes, and met amazing people. We loved every place we went to. The gems that stand out was Ngorongoro Crater (one of the most stunning places we have ever been to) and to our surprise, the visit to the Lake Eyasi and the Hadzabe tribe. We were able to learn about their culture and see how, despite the pressures of modernization, they continue to follow their old traditions. We even accompanied them on their hunt! Amazing. Our driver, Bonny, was a great resource during the tour. We had many interesting conversations with him as he taught us about the locations we were visiting, various cultures, and our questions. He also took very good care of us during the drive and at each of the lodgings, making sure we had everything we needed. During the drive itself over the sometimes rought terrain, he was well prepared and clearly an expert at taking care of the jeep and we never had any problems with the vehicle (although we did see quite a few!). In short, I would highly recommend both this tour and Destiny Explorers!

Excellent experience with a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide
Compared to other safari tours the price from Destiny Explorers seemed reasonable. Our tour guide Noel was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the many wild animals we saw during our safari expedition. Overall everyone in our group of 6 people had a fantastic safari experience.
