Professional, well-organized safari from a local operator with excellent personal service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5/5

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.

5/5

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.

Incredible, perfect, everything we dreamed a Safari could be and more
5/5

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.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Akondo Adventures!
5/5

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!

Super safari experience
5/5

We had a great time with Akondo Adventures on our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and I definitely recommend them!
From the very beginning, communication with the team was smooth, prompt, and reassuring. They handled all the details effortlessly,
the service and reliability throughout the tour were professional. Our guide Richard helped us locate wildlife and ensuring we had the best possible views. His knowledge of the parks, animal behavior, and keen eye made all the difference!
The accommodation was another huge highlight—we stayed at a truly awesome lodge that provided comfort and wonderful hospitality after long days out on the game drives.
Overall, the trip offered value for money. Everything ran smoothly, on time, and lived up to our expectations.
