Great 6 d safari with an expert guide, amazing wildlife sightings and wonderful lodge accommodations
We have spent 6 days together with our tour guide David from Destiny Explorers.
First the jeep, since we spent most of our waking hours in it. The car was old but seemed to be just like all the other vehicles we saw in the parks. The ride can get a bit rough, but our guide seemed to handle the car well, and his knowledge of the vast area was impressive.
David answered all our questions about the flora and fauna and adjusted the tour according to our wishes and needs.
We had some doubts about the broken radio in the car. Other tourists mentioned the guides being in contact with each other to hear about animal sightings in the vicinity. We were told that this happens via smartphone as well. To what extent that was the case, we can’t tell. We did have good sightings, but we wonder if more communication could have improved it further. In the end, it is a game of luck and chance.
The hotels that Destiny Explorers chose for us were amazing. This is especially true for the lodges in the national parks themselves. We didn’t want to overspend, but the level of comfort, space, and style of our accommodations were a pleasant surprise. The food was always tasty and plentiful, sometimes extraordinary. A few breakfast items tend to be a bit repetitive after a couple of days, but the choice was there, and we felt well taken care of, Issa also made sure we got a nice birthday cake baked by one of the lodges.
The only thing we didn’t like was some miscommunication, which led us to book a slightly cheaper package that included less accommodation and transport than we had expected. As a result, we ended up arranging our own accommodation and taxis, which ended up costing more than the original quoted amount for those days. It was also difficult to be flexible on the go with our itinerary, we would have liked to spend more time in the Serengeti, but the price quoted for changing one day was extremely high. I would highly recommend having a phone call beforehand to clearly go over all the details before booking.
Other than these hiccups, we had a very good time overall.

Review about Nyerere National Park by Roman RdH
Rich wildlife, very nice diverse scenery with lakes, bush, forest, rivers
Forest like vegetation offer a lot of hide-outs animals like lions are sometimes difficult to spot

If there was one criticism it would be that our tour guide was booked into a hotel in Swakopmund and this caused some confusion because this is where he lived and he stayed at home for two nights. The savings of that unnecessary extra booking for our tour guide could have been given to us. Just a thought for your next customer.
Thank you for organising.

Beautiful
The tour was gourgeus, we got to sée so many Animals. We traveled a lot in the car but it was worthy. The money we spent was right for all the things we did and saw.

Friendly, straightforward.
On time pickup, lovely modern van with USB-C chargers. Good driving. Driver did his best to get us there on time despite being delayed by having to wait for some of our passengers.

Expectations met
Irene is really nice and helpful in organizing an individual tour. She is working with different tour operators and is answering all questions in advance or during the tour.
With my individual 9 days tour, I could join different tours with others. It was a one time experience and I really enjoyed it. I can recommend this agency 100%.

Experience of my life
We spent 6 days on safari and in contact with the culture of Tanzania, trusting Afrishare, and they were the most beautiful days of our lives so far. The most important part of this experience was our guide, Mosses, who from the first moment he picked us up from the airport until the last, did not stop taking care of our needs, our safety and of course, having fun. Although we had a car breakdown that delayed us for 3 hours, Mosses managed not to lose our day and to continue our program normally until the end. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and we hope to see you again soon!
