Beyond Expectations
5/5

After months of meticulous planning and a whirlwind of emotions, my decision to embark on a Tanzanian safari with Destiny Explorers turned out to be one of the most rewarding choices of my life. As someone deeply sensitive and cautious about the uncertainties of organizing adventures from afar, I understand the weight of entrusting your dreams to strangers over the internet. Yet, after an exhaustive month-long research, I followed my intuition—my "seventh feeling"—and chose Destiny Explorers. It felt like fate intervened when Noel became our tour guide, a decision that felt nothing short of divine intervention.

From the moment we met Noel, despite our 7-hour delayed arrival, we felt an immediate sense of ease and excitement. His kindness, enthusiasm, and attentiveness were unparalleled, setting the tone for what was to become an unforgettable journey. We arrived in Tanzania after heavy rains, greeted by lush green landscapes and the challenge of muddy, waterlogged terrains that could easily hide our awaited ones. However, Noel's professionalism, fearlessness, and expertise shone brightly as he navigated us directly to them.

Contrary to our initial concerns, the conditions did not hinder our experience. Thanks to Noel, we encountered an abundance of wildlife, observing every imaginable animal in great numbers, a testament to his profound knowledge and skill. By the second day, we were already overwhelmed with gratitude for the value we received for our investment, making the remaining four days feel like an extraordinary bonus.

This safari was not just a trip; it was a profound journey of discovery, love, and awe-inspiring moments facilitated by Destiny Explorers and immortalized by Noel's dedication. We are already planning our return, with Noel as our guide, to once again delve into the heart of Tanzania's wild beauty. To those on the fence about choosing a safari company, let our experience with Destiny Explorers and the exceptional Noel guide your decision. It's a choice that promises not just a journey, but a lifetime of memories.

5/5

Experiencing an incredible safari tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. From the majestic lions basking in the sun to the graceful giraffes wandering the plains, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. The knowledgeable guides, comfortable accommodations, and well-planned itinerary made the trip both exciting and relaxing. I'm leaving with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of wildlife. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and thrilling adventure in the wild!

My heart and my soul breathe
5/5

I compared thousands of agencies and this is the best and cheapest of all lodge agencies!
My heart, my soul, thanks you for what you made us see, what you made us feel. It is not a simple safari but a medicine. You have the gift of doing a difficult job but you make people dream. The best value for money, luxury lodges with food from elsewhere! They know the animals and there is a huge amount of respect between them, the Tanzanian hospitality and peace of mind is from another world. It’s hard not to embrace this energy. Thank you for reminding us that life is beautiful. And thank you for your professionalism! I would do Kilimanjaro with Issa!

Super! professional, and dedicated to the work
5/5

Firstly we were looking for 3-4 days tour, and sent more info request to some companies. Destiny explores had the fastest response.
They answered every questions so quick. So I decided to enjoy with them. One of my dreams of Safari is to see great migrations. They manage to do that, even offered changes to our itinerary. During Safari, our guide seemed having a lot of friends and exchanged latest info of appearance of animals. In conclusion, We saw the migration, as well as four of big five animals ( we didn’t see rhino, but there is very few rhinos at Serengeti), cheater hunting attempt, lion’s family gathering. I’m professional TV director back in my country Japan though this is my total holiday, I asked a lot to my guide to move our car back and forth to set my camera position, he managed to do that.
We stayed four accommodations, and all of them super. Last night, I stayed at Baobab Luxury camp, there is surrounded by bare nature, even hear the voice of animals very closely at night (24 hours security guard so it is safe) this was exciting experience.
One more good thing is clear instruction of tips. As a Japanese, we don’t have tips customs, I don’t get use to it. Our guide instructed at the first day, it is helpful.
It was great journey, and I think we are lucky enough to meet good guide.

Sarafi Tour with Destiny Explorer was excellent.
5/5

We started our journey from Arusha with Tour Guide Bisi. He is well informed regarding the Geography of the National parks plus navigating adventurous roads. Easily identify different animal species from a distance. Professional in every sense of the word with a good sense of humor. My husband and I enjoy every bit of the Safari.

We could not have wished for a better tour and a better operator than Destiny Explorers!
My wife and I booked the 3-Day Supreme Safari, and we really had an amazing experience of a lifetime. Everything from requesting a quote, transaction, planning, customer service, execution and follow-up was done in a friendly and professional manner, so all the preparations were smooth and easy. Managing director, Issa, and our guide, Nicholas, were also great – knowledgeable, professional and super-friendly.
Thanks to these guys, we felt safe and welcome and got a trip that exceeded all our expectations. We saw all the wildlife we had hoped for and more, and the accommodation used was impeccable.
I would without hesitation recommend Destiny Explorers to anyone I know who were considering a safari in Tanzania.
Thanks for a great adventure!

Kind and caring guide
5/5

Issa was taking me to a Massai village.
He wasn't only a driver but also a guide.
He showed me the environment on the way, told me about the cities we were passing by and the weather at our destination.
Whenever I wanted to take pictures he stopped or showed me a nice spot.
He told me what I could expect as soon as I would be there - without spoiling the surprise about my welcome there
