An Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our 5-day private safari with Akondo Adventures was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded all our expectations.
From the very beginning, the communication and planning were outstanding. The team always responded quickly, was incredibly friendly, and took all of our wishes into account. Our safari was completely customized to our preferences, and everything was organized perfectly.
We spent one day in Tarangire National Park, one day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and three days in the Serengeti. Our guide was exceptional – knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about his work. He answered every question we had, shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and nature, and always adapted the experience to our interests. Thanks to him, we had countless incredible wildlife sightings.
One of the biggest surprises was that a photographer accompanied us during the safari. We had no idea this was included. He captured beautiful photos of both the wildlife and us throughout the trip and is even creating a documentary-style video from the footage and photos. This was such a special and unexpected addition to our experience.
The accommodations were outstanding. Every lodge and camp was beautiful, comfortable, and of very high quality. One of our lodges even had a private pool, which was an amazing surprise. The food throughout the safari was excellent, and the staff at every accommodation made us feel genuinely welcome.
Another unforgettable highlight was a day in an open safari vehicle that was specially arranged for us. This was never mentioned beforehand and was an incredible surprise. It made the wildlife experience even more immersive and exciting. On that day, the photographer even traveled in a separate vehicle with his own driver to capture photos of us while we were out on safari – a level of service we never expected.
We also enjoyed a bush lunch right in the middle of the wilderness, another wonderful surprise that became one of our favorite memories from the trip.
Just two days before arriving, we decided to book a hot air balloon safari. Despite the short notice, Akondo organized everything seamlessly. The coordination was perfect, and the balloon safari itself was worth every penny. It was one of the most breathtaking experiences we have ever had and is something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Serengeti.
We would also like to give special thanks to the owner of Akondo Adventures. He personally welcomed us at the beginning of our safari and even came to the airport on our final day to say goodbye and ask for feedback. This level of personal care and dedication is incredibly rare and left a lasting impression on us.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt completely taken care of. Everything was professional, smooth, and perfectly organized, while still feeling warm, personal, and authentic.
Thank you to everyone at Akondo Adventures for creating such an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend this company highly enough and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Adventure with Akondo Adventures
My husband and I recently completed an incredible Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach vacation with Akondo Adventures in June 2026, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we started planning until the day we flew home, everything was seamless, professional, and unforgettable.
A huge thank you to Philip, our travel agent, who was incredibly responsive throughout the entire booking process. Despite the time difference between California and Tanzania, he always replied quickly, answered every question thoroughly, and even helped with last-minute packing questions just days before departure. His excellent communication gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by our transfer driver, Ezekiel, who made us feel welcome immediately. He was friendly, punctual, and ensured every transfer was smooth and comfortable.
Our safari guide, Richard, was truly exceptional and played a huge role in making this trip so memorable. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, local culture, and animal behavior was remarkable. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from great distances and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for viewing and photography. Thanks to Richard, we enjoyed unforgettable game drives and incredible wildlife encounters throughout our journey.
The itinerary itself was perfectly designed, combining some of Tanzania's most iconic safari destinations with a relaxing beach getaway in Zanzibar. We experienced the beauty of Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before ending our adventure on the stunning beaches of Zanzibar. It was the perfect balance of excitement, wildlife, scenery, and relaxation.
The accommodations throughout the trip were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. We never had to worry about logistics, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience and focus on creating lifelong memories.
What stood out most was Akondo Adventures' attention to detail and genuine commitment to providing exceptional service. Every aspect of the trip felt personalized, organized, and stress-free.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Akondo Adventures. Thank you, Philip, Ezekiel, and Richard, for giving us the trip of a lifetime. We returned home with unforgettable memories, amazing photographs, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Tanzania. We would not hesitate to travel with Akondo Adventures again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars all around!

Truly Unforgettable
My wife and I recently completed an incredible 11-day safari adventure in Tanzania with Akondo Adventures, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
From the very beginning, Philip was an outstanding travel agent. He was responsive, professional, and helped create an itinerary that made our anniversary trip truly unforgettable. His attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything went smoothly gave us confidence throughout the entire planning process.
Our safari guide, Richard, was absolutely exceptional. His passion for wildlife and love for his job were evident every single day. We were amazed by his knowledge of the animals we viewed throughout the trip. Most importantly, he was determined to help us achieve our bucket-list goal of seeing the Big Five, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we successfully saw all of the big five! Richard’s experience gave up incredible viewing opportunities made the safari experience even more special.
We also experienced an unexpected challenge when our luggage was delayed and didn’t arrive until two days after we landed. Thankfully, our transfer driver Ezekiel was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. What could have been a stressful situation became much easier to manage because of his caring attitude and willingness to assist us every step of the way.
The entire Akondo Adventures team went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. From the planning stage to the final day of our trip, we felt genuinely cared for and well taken care of. We highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget!
