Richard was very accommodating, was knowledgeable about all wildlife, and made us feel right at home
5/5

This was our first trip to Tanzania. We booked our safari with Alonso Adventures with Boris, who went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. this trip was for my mom‘s birthday and Boris helped me plan the perfect birthday trip for my mom. We met Richard, our tour guide, right as we got off the plane. Richard was the absolute best. We highly recommend him as your tour guide. He not only made us laugh and helped us enjoy our time, he was very very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, especially the birds! We learned so much from him. Boris also helped us plan a birthday cake surprise for my mom, and they all sang the birthday song in a group for her, including Richard! Richard was like family. We also made friends at the hotel, including Rocky. Rocky made sure we had everything we possibly needed. We love Rocky. Then Boris helped us along the way with transfers and flights to Zanzibar. We had an amazing time on the island and the resort Boris had on the itinerary was top notch. We booked excursions on the island and all transfers included in the excursions were very pleasant. At the hotel, we met Pedro, who was extremely helpful with all excursions and other things to do on the island and any other thing that we needed. Pedro was consistently checking in with us, making sure everything was perfect for us. He also helped us plan a birthday cake for my mom and sang to her as well. Boris helped us along the way and with our flight back to Kilimanjaro from Zanzibar. The transfer from Arusha airport to Kilimanjaro airport was extremely nice! His name was Ezekiel. He was 23 and was learning English and was doing very well! We loved how eager he was to learn more English, and he was teaching us Swahili! We will never forget this trip thanks to Boris, Richard, Pedro, Rocky and Ezekiel and everyone else in between. If you’re thinking about booking a trip to Tanzania, you must use a condo adventures with Boris!!

Unbelievable experience
5/5

We had the absolute time of our lives with Akondo Adventures and our amazing guide Dave!

The trip was perfectly organized, filled with unforgettable moments, the accommodations were incredibly comfortable and had the best staff on site.

But what really has made our safari exceptional was our guide and now also friend, Dave!
He is the best, kindest, coolest and funniest guide we could ever have hoped for.
Furthermore, his 17 years safari experienced ensured us a lot of rare and incredible moments during our game drive!!

Dave’s knowledge, energy and warm personality turned every game drive into an adventure we’ll never forget.
He made us feel safe, welcome and constantly entertained (ask him about the recipe for mashed potatoes)!

Thanks to him, we not only saw amazing wildlife but also laughed more than we did in ages :).

If you’re looking for a safari experience that goes above and beyond, Akondo Adventures is the way to go and if you’re lucky enough to get Dave as your guide, you’re in for something very special.

Highly, highly recommended and Hakuna Matata :)

EXCELLENT!
5/5

We chose Akondo Adventures for our honeymoon and it was a great choice. From the very beginning, Boris made sure we had an itinerary tailored to our needs. Then Richard became our guide and he was excellent! We're so happy because Richard made sure we saw the Big Five! Plus, my dream was to see lion cubs and a baby elephant, and we did it thanks to him! He explained everything to us; our English isn't very good, but he spoke Spanish and we were able to communicate very well. He even taught us some Swahili words! We 100% recommend Akondo. They also helped us book the hot air balloon safari, which is a truly unique experience!
THANK YOU for everything! Hakuna Matata!

Very professional, great prices and knowledgeable tour guides
5/5

I would highly recommend using this tour company for several reasons. From
The first time I reached out for a quote Boris was extremely professional and efficient. I appreciated his quick communication even with the time difference. He was even able to offer a car transfer to our hotel for a reasonable price. Richard was our guide on the tour and he was friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. I would highly recommend using them to book your next trip.
