Magical experience!
5/5

We booked a 3 day safari across Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We were really struggling to decide who to book through as the amount of safari companies out there was overwhelming. We didn't know anyone that had been on a safari previously to recommend us, and so we did our research and looked through the reviews of a lot of different companies, and to us Akondo stuck out. And we're so glad we went with them!
Boris helped us organise it from the beginning and answered any questions that I had. He helped put a personalised package together with our wishes and needs. Boris met us at the airport at the start of the tour, and he met us again at the airport as we were leaving to say goodbye.
Our tour guide was Laurian and he was amazing! We booked a private tour, so it was just the three of us for the 3 days and Laurian became a friend, we laughed and joked and had such a great time!
Laurian was able to recommend us places to get certain gifts and items which we wanted to buy.
We were able to see 4 of the Big 5! We had some extremely close encounters with Elephants and Lions!
It was a truly magical experience and having Laurian as our tour guide completed it for us!
Laurian was extremely knowledgeable. We learnt so much from him and he was able to spot animals, even from so far away! For example, he spotted a black rhino in the distance! Many animals we wouldn't have spotted if it wasn't for Laurian!
The ride was comfortable and we have no complaints whatsoever!
We will be back, and we'll be using Akondo again, especially asking for Laurian!!!! We would love to see the great migration at Serengeti next time!

AMAZING
5/5

We chose Akondo Adventures, and what a great choice it was! Boris handled the organization beautifully; he was attentive from the very start, tailoring everything to my vision of a safari adventure—prioritizing our comfort and optimizing our routes to see the most wildlife and make the most of our time. We needed a Spanish-speaking guide, and we certainly got one! His name was Richard; he was friendly, funny, attentive, and highly professional. He managed to fulfill our wishes regarding what we wanted to see throughout the safari. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories and explaining the "whys" behind everything we saw—from animal feeding habits to other fascinating details. For our final night, Akondo treated us to luxury accommodation as a honeymoon surprise—just as they had welcomed us with a beautiful photo of us mounted on the spare tire. We stayed in a luxury cabin surrounded by wildlife. We even visited a Maasai tribe and saw how they live—an extraordinary experience! To top it all off, our final day featured the "Miracle Experience," which was INCREDIBLE. We were surprised to have a personal photographer, Samuel, with us for the entire safari. He became another friend—so kind, attentive, and professional. I’m giving 5 stars, but I’d love to give 10✨. We’ll be back with them another year to explore the Serengeti.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, "AKONDO ADVENTURES" 🫶🏼

Fantastic
5/5

A very good experience, excellent service, the guide was very attentive and friendly, and there were many amenities. I would definitely repeat the experience, but preferably in July, as we came in June and the grass was very long, making it a bit difficult for us to see the animals.

The Glovo experience has been fantastic, everything is very beautiful and above all super friendly. We leave very happy and wanting to repeat. We are Spanish and we don't speak English but we have communicated perfectly

An Unforgettable Safari Experience - Highly Recommended
5/5

My girlfriend and I just returned from a safari with Akondo Adventures and it genuinely exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very first day, the team showed us what kind of company they are - I lost my wallet shortly after arrival and Boris went out of his way to help me sort everything out. That kind of personal care and genuine support is rare and it set the tone for the entire trip.
The camps were absolutely stunning. Beautifully located, comfortable and with a real sense of being immersed in the wilderness rather than just visiting it.
Our guide Richard and his driver were outstanding - deeply knowledgeable about the wildlife, ecosystems and local culture, while remaining respectful, patient and great company throughout. You could tell this wasn't just a job for them.
Communication before and during the trip was smooth and reliable and the value for what was delivered was excellent. Every detail felt considered.
If you're looking for a safari experience that combines professionalism with genuine warmth, Akondo Adventures is the one. We are already talking about coming back.

Beyond exceptional – A flawless luxury honeymoon experience!
5/5

​I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from Akondo Adventures was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For our honeymoon, we did a 3-day tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.

​Boris, the owner, handles the organization with incredible precision and attention to detail. His pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. He took it upon himself to add some magical touches for our honeymoon, including a complete surprise—our wedding photo beautifully displayed on the back of our safari jeep! Boris is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury lodges he lined up for us were outstanding, and the staff at each property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.

​Then there was our guide, Richard, who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. He was waiting for us right at the airport with cold drinks and refreshments, setting the tone for the entire trip. Richard’s knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

​If you want a flawless, high-end, and deeply personal safari experience, Akondo Adventures is the gold standard. Thank you, Boris and Richard, for making our honeymoon unforgettable!

An unforgettable safari
5/5

Our safari experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of the entire time. The parks were breathtaking, and we were lucky to see so much wildlife — truly unforgettable moments.

Our Richard was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we had the best experience possible. Every detail, from the accommodations to the daily planning, exceeded our expectations.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an amazing safari adventure.

Thank you again for everything — we will definitely remember this forever!

A really nice and helpful operator, can only recommend!
5/5

We booked a 2-day safari during the low season, including one night at the Escarpment Lodge. We were really lucky with the weather—every time we arrived at the park, the rain stopped. For the low season, we actually saw a lot of animals.
The lodge was breathtaking. We were upgraded to the Executive Suite, had a private pool, a bathtub in the room, and an unforgettable dinner. At the end of the evening, they even sang for me and brought me a birthday cake. It was a bit embarrassing, but still a very nice gesture. The service was flawless—absolutely 10/10.
Back to the safari: Richard was our guide. We had originally been promised a German-speaking guide, which we didn’t get, but Richard was absolutely excellent. He is very knowledgeable and shares lots of interesting little details. The two days with him were truly enjoyable, and overall we had an unforgettable experience despite it being the low season.

Richard is the best guide
5/5

We booked a safari with Akondo Safari’s, which was well organized, but what truly made our trip unforgettable was our tour guide, Richard. He is not only incredibly experienced but also friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Richard went above and beyond to ensure we saw as many animals as possible, and thanks to his keen eye and knowledge, we had an unforgettable experience.

What really sets him apart is his combination of expertise and enthusiasm. He shared fascinating facts about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, making the safari both fun and educational. On top of that, he made the journey incredibly enjoyable with his stories and warm personality.

In short: if you want a safari where you get the most out of your day, Richard is the guide to choose. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Magnificent
5/5

Our two-day safari with Akondo Adventures was flawlessly organized and exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Boris handled all the details — transportation, flights, and lodging — with incredible efficiency. Everything was clearly arranged and communicated before we even arrived, making the entire experience completely stress-free.

Our guide, David, was absolutely outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw the Big Five and so much more, and his skill behind the wheel was unmatched across every type of terrain. His deep knowledge of wildlife, the environment, and animal behavior truly enhanced the safari and made each sighting even more meaningful.

If you’re looking for a well-organized, expertly coordinated safari adventure with exceptional guides, Akondo Adventures is the company to book. Highly, highly recommended!
