Very efficient company that listened to our needs.
We had a great experience with Akondo Adventures. Richard, our guide, was very good and managed to show us all big 5 animals! We know it isn’t easy to see rhinos, but we did! The accommodations were all great. They do not have WiFi in the rooms though. I wasn’t sure about the food since I wear braces, but it was really good everywhere. Highly recommend!

Everything was amazing
They arranged everything for us (transfer to one accomodation to another), they picked us from our hotel in Arusha and made our safari very comfortable and tailored for our needs and desires. Our very kind guide, Richard, informed us about the wild life, he asked us what was important for us and he made the possible and beyond to allow us to see the big 5 (and we did!also the rhino that is very rare to see). At the same time we were very safe for the whole time.
The accomodations were very beautiful with good food and they were careful about food allergies. We slept surrounded by buffalos and other animals.
Very recommended!
Amazing experience

AKONDO Adventure
Great experience, our driver and guide Baraka took great care of us. 3-day safari for couples, 2 days at the Tarangire reserve and 1 day at the N'gorongoro crater. Thanks to Boris for his organization.

Simply amazing, truly unforgettable
We booked a two-day luxury honeymoon safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with Akondo Adventures, and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
The booking process was super easy and Boris organised everything perfectly and gave us all the details we needed. Unfortunately there is an additional charge for card payment which meant an overall higher cost, but not a big issue. We were collected from our hotel in Zanzibar, took a short flight to Arusha, and were met by our amazing guide Richard, who looked after us for the full two days.
Richard was an excellent driver with immense knowledge of wildlife, birds, and plants. He spoke perfect English. He made sure we always had plenty of time for photos and did everything possible to help us spot as many animals as we could. The highlight for us was seeing a black rhino in Ngorongoro and witnessing two ostriches mating up close, quite the spectacle! We also saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, cougars, and so, so much more. He taught us so much about the Maasai people and life in Tanzania, and was such a pleasure to spend time with.
The hot picnic lunches were delicious, a tasty curry with side dishes, plus a selection of drinks. Richard made sure we were always comfortable and could stop for the WC whenever needed.
Our overnight stay at Escarpment Luxury Lodge was very special. The setting was breathtaking, the staff were so kind and attentive, and our lodge suite with its freestanding bath was stunning. The food was top-notch, and the evening Maasai entertainment made it even more special, the whole atmosphere was unforgettable.
This trip truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, yet we already want to come back to explore the Serengeti and luxury camping safari next time, and we wouldn’t choose anyone other than Akondo Adventures to guide us again!

3 Day Serengeti Safari with Balloon
What an incredible experience.
This was our first safari and Akondo made it truly special.
Boris was extremely helpful and prompt with the whole booking process. I had numerous questions about the experience and he was quick to respond and also provided pictures so we knew what to expect. It also helped we communicated via WhatsApp so any last minute questions he could answer.
Our tour guide was David, he was phenomenal. David was clearly very experienced with the Serengeti and managed to find all the animals we wanted to see and allowed us to get some really great photos. He also provided a delicious lunch in which we ate under the tree in the national park.
We chose to stay in the Moyo tents which were clean, spacious and aesthetically pleasing. The tents included separate bathroom esq areas so you could shower and use the toilet when needed.
The vehicle was a large 4x4 in which had an adjustable roof so you can stand whilst driving which was an amazing experience.
Overall, I can’t express how good of a trip Akondo made our safari. Would highly recommend.
