We had an absolutely incredible experience with Akondo Adventures!
From the very beginning, Tassiana provided us with outstanding 360-degree support, tailoring every single detail of the trip to our needs with amazing flexibility. She truly designed the perfect custom itinerary for us. The accommodations and meals were fantastic and perfectly suited to our preferences.
Once on the road, our driver Rama made our safari unforgettable. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, we got to see all the animals and enjoy the experience to the absolute fullest. He managed every moment of the trip perfectly. Additionally, our Toyota Land Cruiser was exceptionally comfortable and fully equipped with every amenity we could need.
We couldn't have asked for a better team. We highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone looking for a seamless, personalized, and magical adventure!
Incredible, perfect, everything we dreamed a Safari could be and more
Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!
Our driver and guide, Julius, went above and beyond our expectations from the very beginning. He was kind, friendly, professional, and always took the time to ask us what we wanted to see and how we wanted to spend each day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he genuinely cared about making our experience as special as possible.
Julius' knowledge of the wildlife, the parks, and the surrounding environment was exceptional. We spent hours talking about the animals, conservation, and his experiences as a guide, and he was able to answer every question we had.
Thanks to Julius' incredible tracking skills and determination, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. He somehow managed to find every animal we hoped to see—often multiple times! He also made sure we were always in the best position for incredible photographs and constantly checked that we were happy and enjoying every moment. His attention to detail and genuine commitment to providing an unforgettable experience was outstanding.
A huge thank you as well to Tassiana, who made the booking process so easy.
From start to finish, the service we received was exceptional. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better safari experience and will be recommending both this company and Julius to everyone we know.

Knowledgeable
Richard is very knowledgeable and knows how and where to see each animal! He’s a great driver and nice person. The jeep is comfortable and Escarpment Luxury Lodge, which comes with the safari package, was incredible. Amazing food, kind people, and gorgeous views.

Professional, well-organized safari from a local operator with excellent personal service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an excellent safari experience with Akondo Adventures and would happily recommend them to others.
From our first inquiry until the end of the trip, communication was friendly, prompt, and professional. Tassiana was always available to answer our questions and proactively checked in during the safari to make sure everything was going well.
Our guide Richard was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and clearly passionate about wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we saw an incredible variety of animals, including all of the Big Five, and learned a lot about Tanzania’s national parks and ecosystems along the way. He was also flexible, patient, and made every day enjoyable.
The itinerary was well planned, with comfortable accommodation and unforgettable experiences throughout. One particularly memorable surprise was a beautifully arranged bush lunch as well as the walking Safari, which was a real highlight of the trip. We also appreciated the small personal touches and the care taken to ensure everything ran smoothly.
One point that could be communicated more clearly is the payment process. Credit card payments through their payment provider incur a processing fee, which reduced the amount received by the operator. Although this was mentioned in the booking terms and clearly highlighted via E-Mail, we would have preferred if the invoices had reflected the final amount due from the beginning to avoid any confusion.
Overall, however, this was a fantastic safari that exceeded our expectations. We felt well looked after from start to finish and returned home with unforgettable memories. Thank you to Tassiana, Richard, and the entire Akondo Adventures team for making our first safari such a special experience.

An Extraordinary Adventure with Akondo Adventures
Magnificent experience. We booked everything remotely from Italy with ease because Boris supported us throughout the entire booking process. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, we always had someone available to assist us.
Our guide, David, was fantastic and took us to see some truly spectacular places. All the lodges where we stayed were beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
Overall, I highly recommend booking with Akondo Adventures because you will have the opportunity to enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience.

Your perfect choice for Tanzania Safari
We booked our entire safari from Italy, and the process was incredibly smooth thanks to Boris. He accommodated all of our requests and was always available to assist us. Given the uncertainty of the current global situation and potential flight disruptions, we especially appreciated his support and flexibility in case our flights were affected.
Upon arriving in Arusha, the Akondo team welcomed us and gave us a great introduction to the city. The real adventure began the following day, when David picked us up for an unforgettable 4-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks.
David was an exceptional guide. His English was excellent, and his many years of safari experience allowed him to take us to the best wildlife viewing spots. We felt very fortunate to have him leading our journey.
Everything was perfectly organized by the Akondo team. The hotels were comfortable and well-maintained, while the lodges exceeded all expectations—an outstanding selection that made the experience even more special.
We highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent service made this a truly unforgettable experience.
AMAZING
I am so glad I went with Akondo adventures. From the start to finish they were very nice and professional. Our tour guide Richard was excellent and very knowledgeable. He taught me so many things about the animals that I never knew. I felt safe the entire time and he made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. I recommend Akondo adventures to anyone wanting the best safari experience.

Amazing 4 days Safari with Julius
We just finished a 4 days / 5 nights private safari journey with Akondo Adventures and our amazing guide Julius. We did Serengeti (2), Tarangire (1) and Ngongoro crater (1) and got to see the big 5.
I was really able to disconnect and enjoy every moments of the safari, since Julius was taking care of everything. No worries (Hakuna Matata) with him which is exactly what I needed.
He was very knowledgeable, safe driving, caring and we couldn't have asked for a better guide for our first safari. He made sure to ask if everything was okay, at every accomodation, at every meal, every spots we visisted, to make our experience the best. We learned so much through Julius experience and passion and he made sure to stop at the very best spot every time for me to get the perfect pictures.
Our car was very comfortable, clean and perfect for animal sighting.
From the company, the journey was great, well-planed even though we were on a tight schedule and planned this trip last minute.
Every accomodations was amazing and every meal (breakfast,lunch and dinner) was excellent which is a big plus for me on a trip.
Also s/o to Ezequiel our driver to and from the airport, who made us feel much welcomed as soon as we stepped in Tanzania, which made our journey great.
