A Special and Unforgettable Safari
We had the most incredible week-long safari experience in Tanzania with Zara Tanzania Adventures. The trip was flawless and incredibly well-organized down to the last detail, and our guide Joseph was outstanding in all ways; knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely interested in giving us a wonderful time. Our safari took us through Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater, which left us dazed with brilliance. Joseph went out of his way to find all the animals that we wanted, and being with him made all the difference. To top it all off, the lodges and tented camps that we stayed in were absolutely charming—peaceful, beautifully set, and the perfect places to relax after a day in the wild. We are so happy with Zara Adventure Tanzania for making the experience so special and unforgettable.

A unique, must-see experience with perfect organization!
The tour was tailored to our wishes by the chef, Boris – Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater – Tarangire National Park.
We were also able to express our dietary preferences.
Everything – tour, meals, accommodations, flights, hotel pickup and drop-off – was perfectly organized. The accommodations were perfect.
We would especially like to mention Evans, our driver, and our German-speaking guide, Amani.
Both of them really made sure we saw as much as possible, explained a lot to us, and gave us a wonderful time.
Boris personally came to the airport and said goodbye to us.

Fantastic experience
We went on a safari in Tanzania with a group of 10 friends and it was an unforgettable experience. The organization was flawless: everything was taken care of in detail, from transfers to the accommodations, which were beautiful and very comfortable. The guides were professional and helpful, allowing us to see so many animals and fully enjoy the magic of the safari, always in safety.
A trip that exceeded our expectations and that I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Tanzania without worries.
Many thanks to our guide Richard and Jo that helps us for everything

Amazing three days Safari experience
We went on a three-day safari visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. It was a fantastic experience. There were 10 of us in two different jeeps with two fantastic rangers, Richard and Joe. Boris, who organized this fantastic experience, was also perfect. They allowed us to see so many animals in all three parks. I highly recommend Akondo Adventure. They were also perfect in choosing the accommodations, which were fantastic, and at night we heard the sounds of various animals.

The drivers were exceptional, super kind and very well informed. They Made experience unforgettable
We had a 3 day Safari with AKONDO, our drivers were Joe and Richard. It was a beatiful experience, the car was super comfortable, the accomodations for the night were really beautiful. We saw a lot of animals and the drivers explained everything about the parks, the environment and the animals. Inside of the car there were water and drinks, so We had everything we needed. I suggest this experience with this agency, AKONDO, to everyone!

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.
