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!

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!!!

Beautiful safari experience
Beautiful safari experience in a wonderful land. Excellent guide, the only thing to improve is the fact that the lodges indicated in the guide have been changed, without informing us. For the rest we recommend everything!

Kind and caring guide
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

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
My wife and I went on a five-day safari with Destiny Explorers in late October, and it was truly unforgettable! The landscapes were beyond words, from the Serengeti's vast plains to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. We were thrilled to see all the "Big Five." Our guide, David, was friendly and knowledgeable, making every game drive exciting and informative. The company manager, Issa, helped us plan an itinerary with perfectly suited accommodations. Each lodge was comfortable and close to nature, blending comfort with authenticity. The food was delicious and adapted to our dietary needs, a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Destiny Explorers for exploring Tanzania's remarkable wildlife and scenery!

The best experience! Fantastic communication with a local operator and excellent safari guide
We booked a 6-night safari with Destiny Explorers and have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience! The communication with Issa was great and he was very prompt with responses. We customised our trip a bit and really appreciate his efforts to accommodate some special requests. Then our safari guide, Tom, was extraordinary. He was so knowledgeable, and it was a real pleasure to spend a week with him. It became evident very quickly that he had a lot of experience predicting animals’ behaviours, finding the best spots to get close, and a chilled personality that made us feel so lucky that he was our safari guide. I have so many examples to share but some of the highlights were:
1. Stopping to wait for a large male elephant to get close to our vehicle. He told us what he thought the elephant was after and to stay quiet. It was an amazing experience. We got close to several other elephants in herds in the Serengeti and it seemed like Tom always predicted their next move, so we got first row viewing to them playing in the mud, etc. while other vehicles tried to get closer.
2. Late driving in the Serengeti on our way to our accommodation looking for adult male lions by the river. We didn't see any vehicles in this area, and it seemed to me that Tom made the effort to stay a bit later and knew the spots we would find animals resting by the river. He was very respectful and didn't disturb animals, whilst managing to get close and staying as long as we wanted observing them.
3. We found a cheetah and stayed close for about an hour while it kept looking for pray, and we kept trying to get the best picture. Tom also knows a lot about cameras and tried to help us with settings to get the best picture. That day we saw 2 cheetahs and the staff in our accommodation couldn’t believe it, since they are hard to come by but Tom was able to spot them from miles away without binoculars.
4. Every day Tom helped other guides (from different companies) with car troubles, and it seemed like everybody knew him. We always felt safe and that we got the best possible experience while out in the vehicle

Great life experience
The tour was a great experience that we will never forget. Uncomplicated pre-planning and pick-up as well as the great tour with our guide - easy, friendly and exciting, communicating in English was no problem. Our guide did his best to make sure we saw everything, so we went home with no wishes left unfulfilled. Big 5 ticked off! Accommodations were as expected and vegetarian meals by arrangement were no problem. We would recommend it to anyone.

Extreme Professionalism and Excellent Customer Service
Destiny Explorers have excellent customer service and experienced drivers. Destiny Explorers were very accommodating with our last-minute reservations and met all of our lodging expectations. Our driver, Peter, excelled at ensuring we saw "The Big 5", our favorite animals (Hippos & Giraffes), several species of birds, beautiful landscapes, and tons of amazing wildlife (including Brother Cheetahs, a Leopard Cub, and Hyenas). If you are planning a Safari to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, or Tarangire National Park, choose "Destiny Explorers" and ask for "Peter". You will experience memories of a lifetime, safely "Up Close & Personal".

Unforgettable experience - excellent guide
Me and my partner had the pleasure of going on a six-day private safari with Destiny Explorers at the beginning of September, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the organization and attention to detail were exceptional. We visited stunning locations including Tarangire National Park, Lake Natron, the northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each stop was breathtaking and offered unique wildlife encounters. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us ample time for game drives while also allowing for moments of relaxation.
Our guide, Gilbert was always friendly and fun, making the journey even more enjoyable. He is an impeccable driver, ensuring that we always felt safe on the roads. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and ecosystems, and we were amazed by the incredible variety of mammals, reptiles and birds we spotted. He provided fascinating explanations about each species and it was great to learn so much about the local ecosystem. Gilbert made sure we got the best views of the Big Five and wildebeests migration at Mara River, sharing insights about the animals and their behaviors. His passion for nature is evident and really enhanced our experience.
Issa, the company manager, was helpful in planning our itinerary and selecting accommodations that suited our mid-range budget. He was also flexible and made a small adjustment to our itinerary during the safari, allowing us to visit Olduvai Gorge and its museum, which was a highlight for us.
The accommodations provided by Destiny Explorers were comfortable and offered stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Each location was well-chosen, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania. The food throughout the trip was delicious and catered to our dietary preferences, which was a nice touch.
We chose Destiny Explorers mainly because they are a local Tanzanian company, and we believe it's important to support local businesses in our travel choices. The dedication and commitment to providing a great experience were evident in every aspect of our safari.
Overall, we highly recommend Destiny Explorers for anyone looking to explore the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania. A special thank you to Gilbert for making this experience so memorable; your kindness, peaceful nature, expertise, and driving skills made all the difference. This trip exceeded our expectations, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have at least once!
