An unforgettable experience!!
My partner and I chose the 4 day option which included 2 nights in the Serengeti, then heading to the Ngorogoro Crater, before heading to our final accommodation for one more night. This was truly an unforgettable experience!
Prior to departing, Philip from Akondo Adventures consulting team did an outstanding job in helping us to design the perfect trip. He was very knowledgable, helpful and understanding of our budget and requirements, and his response time and communication was fantastic. He genuinely took the time to provide us with an outstanding itinerary and personalise a truly unforgettable trip. His recommendations were also perfect and thanks to him we have absolutely no regrets!! Our trip included flights in and out, all accommodation, food, game drives, and all transfers, and from the moment it started, everything was exceptionally organised.
In the Serengeti, we stayed in the Mbuni Luxury Tented Camp, which was a truly authentic and unique experience. In the heart of the Serengeti, the camp is unfenced, meaning any animals happening to wonder through were free to do so and made the experience really exciting! The rooms were beautiful, with private bathroom including a hot shower, double sinks and amenities, and a toilet. The food was great and all the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and provided us with an amazing stay. The dinner by the campfire was a real highlight!
I especially want to highlight our guide, Funika, who deserves the highest possible praise and recognition. From the moment he picked us up at the Seronera airstrip in central Serengeti, he was incredibly warm, welcoming, friendly, and attentive, and he immediately made us feel that we were in fantastic hands. Throughout the safari, Funika worked tirelessly to give us the best experience possible. Whatever animal we hoped to see, he was determined to find it for us and somehow, he always did! We were promised the big 5, and while nothing is guaranteed in the wild, thanks to Funika's dedication, knowledge, and incredible ability to locate wildlife, we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, as well as so much more, and we left feeling that we had seen absolutely everything we had hoped for. His knowledge of the Serengeti, its wildlife, animal behaviour, the environment, and where to find different species was exceptional. He was always happy to share what he knew, which made every sighting even more interesting and memorable. Beyond his expertise, he also kept the mood and energy at the highest level throughout the trip and catered to every request or wish we had. More than anything, Funika is simply one of the loveliest and friendliest people we have ever met. We genuinely missed him the moment he left us, which says everything about the impression he made. He played an enormous part in making our safari such an unforgettable experience, and we honestly could not have hoped for a better guide. Anyone booking with Akondo Adventures would be extremely fortunate to have Funika as their guide. We could not recommend him highly enough! 5 stars simply wouldn’t be enough or do him justice - he deserves 10 stars or more!!
Overall, the value for money was fantastic, all services were reliable, on time, and efficient, and anyone looking to book a safari in Tanzania should definitely book with Akondo Adventures. The entire process from start to finish was impeccably organised, and we truly had the most unforgettable time! Anyone looking to book, we definitely would recommend Akondo Adventures and consider yourselves lucky if Funika is your guide!

An incredible safari with akondo adventures, no words to say, only thank u guys 🫶🏻
Our safari experience in Tanzania with Akondo Adventures was simply exceptional and truly unforgettable! 🐘🦁🌿
From the very first contact, the entire team demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism. Akondo Adventures took care of everything, from the smallest detail to the biggest part of the trip, with a perfectly planned itinerary and flawless organization. We were able to fully enjoy every moment without ever having to worry about the logistics.
We would especially like to give a very special mention to Boris, who was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of us throughout our entire stay. His kindness, availability, attention to detail, and genuine care made our experience even more special.
And a huge thank you to Fonika, our driver-guide, with whom we had the privilege of experiencing this incredible adventure continuously across Tanzania’s three major national parks. Fonika is incredibly kind, always friendly, attentive, and professional, but above all, extremely knowledgeable and highly competent.
His experience, deep knowledge of the wildlife and nature, incredible ability to spot animals, and passion for his work made every safari truly magical. We felt completely safe and confident with him from beginning to end, and having him with us throughout the entire journey made a huge difference.
Thanks to the whole team, and especially to Boris and Fonika, we experienced much more than just a safari — we experienced a true adventure and created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. ❤️
We absolutely do not regret choosing Akondo Adventures for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. On the contrary, we highly recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to discover Tanzania in the best possible way.
Thank you, Akondo Adventures, for an unforgettable experience! 🇹🇿❤️

Very flexible and considerate of your requirements
We booked our safari through Akondo Adventures for our honeymoon. From the very beginning they were very flexible in accomodating our trip requirements and accomodations, we were after. Communication was prompt and they were flexible with phone calls, noting the time difference.
Some of the hotels which were booked for us were absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views and the tent escape we had in Serengeti definitely felt like being immersed in nature.
Unfortunely on the trip we fell unwell, however Akondo Adventures adjusted our itinerary and managed accomodations for us on a very last minute basis and we are so grateful for Tassiana and Boris for being so helpful and considerate.
Our safari driver Julius, was incredibly kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the geography and animals.
We would definitely recommend booking through Akondo Adventures!
Exceptional guide, seamless planning, and once-in-a-lifetime Serengeti wildlife encounters
Akondo Adventures exceeded every expectation for our Tanzania safari. Communication was excellent from the start — quick replies to every message, and a WhatsApp video call with Philip before booking, who organised our whole trip. He was fantastic to deal with, patient with all our questions, and put together an itinerary that delivered everything we hoped for. That early conversation gave us real confidence going in, and it was fully justified.
Our guide, Richard, made the whole trip. With 8 years of training as a safari guide, his knowledge was extraordinary — he could tell us the behaviour, distinguishing features, and fascinating stories behind almost every animal we saw, from hyenas and giraffes to secretary birds and lions. His respect and love for nature was obvious in everything he did. His eyesight was remarkable too — spotting animals we couldn’t even find with binoculars. He knew exactly where and when to position the vehicle, which meant we didn’t just tick off the Big Five — we saw cheetahs and lion cubs up close, a lion chasing buffalo, and he made sure we witnessed the wildebeest river crossing, which was truly out of this world. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, washed daily.
Richard also introduced us to the Maasai way of life, which was an unbelievably amazing experience. We visited a Maasai village, wore their traditional costumes, joined in their welcome dancing, and saw inside their mud huts to understand how they actually live. It was a real highlight and gave us a whole different perspective on the trip.
It even started before the trip properly began: on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, the immigration officer recognised Akondo Adventures by name and welcomed us warmly to Tanzania.
Every park delivered something special. At Tarangire, a leopard walked right past our vehicle and we watched giraffes fighting. Ngorongoro Crater gave us rhinos, flamingos, lions and huge concentrations of wildlife in one place. Serengeti National Park brought more cheetahs, lions with cubs, elephants, zebras and gazelles against classic acacia backdrops, while Northern Serengeti delivered the spectacular river crossing. We also took a hot air balloon ride with an experienced Spanish pilot, Abraham, giving us stunning views over the Mara River and savanna.
The accommodation was fabulous throughout — staff were incredibly helpful and the food was tasty everywhere we stayed. An added thrill was that animals came right up to the tents at night; hyenas even visited at midnight, which was surprising at first, but they’re naturally wary of people, so it was actually exciting to be that close to them. Clean water and toilets were never an issue either, even deep in the parks.
Huge thanks to Richard for making it unforgettable and to Philip for organising such a seamless trip. Outstanding value, reliability and expertise — highly recommended.

Richard is that rare guide who combines professionalism with humor, courtesy with genuine optimism.
This was a proposal journey, and Akondo helped my boyfriend prepare every single surprise — it was absolutely perfect. Our experience exceeded every expectation. A special thank you to our guide, Richard, whose incredible professionalism made our safari truly flawless.
