Unforgettable safari with Akondo, perfectly organized by Boris and guided by amazing Richi!
We went on a safari with Akondo through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Boris took care of every detail, organizing everything perfectly. Our guide Richi was simply amazing – friendly, fun, passionate about nature, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. Thanks to him, we saw animals we never imagined we’d encounter, always with respect for their environment and while making us feel safe and well taken care of. The itinerary, the service, and the atmosphere exceeded all our expectations. We would definitely do it all over again without a doubt!

Great Safari Experience, But Some Organizational Issues
The tour was customized to our preferences, which we really appreciated. For the safari portion, our guide Richard was excellent — incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and wildlife, which made the experience even more special.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any rhinos. In hindsight, we would recommend spending an extra day in the Ngorongoro Crater and skipping Lake Manyara, where there wasn’t much to see.
During the booking process, a few accommodations were suddenly unavailable and had to be changed, which was unexpected and a bit disappointing. That said, the safari accommodations that were arranged were well selected overall — some felt slightly overpriced, but the staff was always very friendly and the food was great.
Since it was our honeymoon, we were told all rooms would be upgraded to honeymoon suites, but it seems there was some miscommunication between Akondo and the hotels, as a few properties were not aware of this.
Our stay in Zanzibar, unfortunately, had a few issues. The original hotel was not worth the price — the rooms were not well maintained or clean, and the food was below average. Thankfully, Boris helped us find an alternative hotel, which we appreciated, but it did involve some hassle, difficult conversations, and another 1.5-hour drive across the island.
Additionally, we had booked full board for all accommodations, but upon arrival in Zanzibar, we were told only half board was included. For the premium price we paid, we expected everything to align with our booking confirmation.
Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience, but the organizational aspects could use some fine-tuning — particularly around booking accuracy and communication.
Perfect and reliable!
We recently completed a 3-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with Akondo Adventures, and the experience was extraordinary. We decided last minute to go on safari and from the first email with Boris to the final drop-off at the airport, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.
Also our guide, Victor, made this trip special. His sharp eye meant we saw far more than we expected — from a rare cheetah hunt, an amazing and exiting lions hunt to an incredible variety of wildlife. While we didn’t spot rhinos or leopards this time, we saw so much else that the experience still felt incredibly rich. Victor always knew when to wait, when to move, and seemed to anticipate where the action would happen. He was warm, respectful of the animals and environment, and made the entire journey feel personal and meaningful.
If we were to plan another 3-day safari, we might skip Tarangire NP and spend an extra day in the Serengeti — though Tarangire does have its own charm, especially with its beautiful landscapes, unique ecosystem, and iconic baobab trees.
The accommodations arranged by Akondo Adventures were excellent — especially the tented camp (Moyo) that let us feel immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. The meals were fresh and generous, and all logistics were smooth and seamless, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the experience.
If you’re looking for a reliable, ethical, and well-organized safari operator in Tanzania, I fully recommend Akondo Adventures. And if you’re lucky enough to have Victor as your guide — you're in for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Lifetime experience
We loved our 4-days incredibile safari experience with Akondo. From magical accomodations to breathtaking places, it has been an incredible experience all the way from Tarangire to Serengeti passing by Ngorongoro and Manyara. Special thanks to Boris for the continuous support to arrange the trip and last but not least to our special guide, Zubery, for driving us through an amazing country and culture with happiness and wisdom. I cannot recommend more a safari with these guys!

Perfect organization of the entire Safari from the very beginning of the booking stage
Perfect organisation of the entire safari by Boris, from pick-up and drop-off at the hotel on Zanzibar and actually from the very beginning of the booking stage. Our guide-driver, Evance tried very hard to provide us with amazing impression, succesfully of course. We started of every day safari in a clean 4x4 private safari vehicle and we stayed in comfortable and very clean lodges.

Perfect
We had the most incredible two-day safari experience in Tanzania with Akondo Adventure. From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The staff was kind, professional, and incredibly well-organized, and our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, efficient, and always ready to help with a smile. The itinerary was carefully planned down to the smallest detail. All schedules were respected, and we traveled in complete comfort throughout. We visited the breathtaking Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, both of which left us speechless. Akondo also took care of all our transfers, both at the beginning and end of the trip, which made everything smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was how the team went above and beyond when we had a personal issue with an external booking. Even though it wasn’t their responsibility, they stepped in immediately and helped us resolve everything without hesitation. Their genuine care and support made all the difference. To top it all off, the lodge where we stayed was absolutely charming—peaceful, beautifully set, and the perfect place to relax after a day in the wild. This was truly a dream experience, and we are so grateful to Akondo Adventure for making it so special. Highly recommended!

The big five in just two days
This was our first safari experience and we will never forget it. Everything was excellent, from the time we contacted Boris we have been followed step by step with all our requests. When we arrived at Seronera Airstrip we met Jose, our driver and tour guide. He went far and beyond to meet our needs, from the service received during the trip to the organizational aspects. We managed to see all the big five within
just two days (out of three). Really recommended. Be sure we will choose Akondo Adventure again for another Safari trip. Thank you!
Highly reliable partner, very knowledgeable, prompt in communicating and flexible
Akondo has been an exceptional and reliable partner, guiding us step by step in organizing and making our trip a reality. We are a family of five (children aged 8 to 13), and after thoroughly evaluating numerous agencies, we chose them. What impressed us was their in-depth knowledge of the area, transparency, prompt communication, punctuality, and willingness to create an itinerary tailored to our needs. Boris, the agency's manager, developed a personalized proposal, promptly addressing all our questions during the quotation phase, trip preparation, route planning, selection of accommodations, local guide arrangements, and providing all the necessary advice to prepare for this unique adventure. Our 15-day trip to Tanzania began with a stay in Zanzibar, where we enjoyed snorkeling in the coral reef and relaxing on white sandy beaches, followed by an 8-day safari in the northern parks. Akondo assisted us in choosing the best routes, activities, and places to stay, allowing us to safely enjoy a truly magnificent experience for the entire family.
In particular, the second part of the trip involved exploring the northern parks of Tanzania: Arusha Park, Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and NgoroNgoro Crater. Richard, our guide, was an outstanding companion. His extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife, along with his experience as a guide in the parks and with children, allowed us to fully enjoy the safari. Throughout the week, we encountered the Big 5, the Shiny 5, some of the Small and Impossible 5, along with various other animals such as rhinos, black monkeys, baboons, monitor lizards, and eagles. All of this was delivered with detailed explanations, utmost safety, full comfort, and excellent accommodations, including campsites within the Serengeti. We highly recommend this agency, and we will certainly contact them again for our next trip to this beautiful country.

Friendly, very intelligent and experienced🙂
We went for a two day safari trip.
The stuff was waiting for us in front of airport to welcome us.
After the friendly introduction we started our safari journey straight ahead to the Tarangire national park.
Due to the experienced tour guide we were able to finish the BIG five within 2 days. While seeing these animals we get known lots of interesting facts about other hidden animals. I highly recommend them and Mr. Richard. (our tour guide)
