A passionate guide, with exemplary organization and great attention to detail
We were a group of 14 and the company managed to organize everything very well. We had an extraordinary experience. The guides were clearly passionate about what they were doing and, above all, showed great respect for the animals. Everything went smoothly, which made the whole experience magnificent, and we all left wanting to do it again. Thank you!

Everything was perfect
An Unforgettable Safari with Akondo Adventures!
Everything was absolutely perfect from the very first day to the last! The entire trip was incredibly well organized, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was smooth, professional, and so enjoyable – we would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
We can highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide Richard was amazing – knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. He knew everything about the wildlife, nature, and the local area. We felt safe, informed, and inspired every step of the way.
We would book with this agency again without hesitation and recommend it to everyone we know. Thank you for everything – it couldn’t have been better!

Adventure of a lifetime.
Akondo Adventures have gone above and beyond in our experience. Boris, the Managing Director, planned a wonderful trip with different touch-points around Arusha.
Richard, the best guide we have ever had, made the trip even more memorable. It genuinely felt like we had a friend with us on the trip, and he added different stops to our trip based on our requests and interests. He was super attentive and taught us a lot about the culture and did his best to make sure we had the best experience — from finding animals in the game drives to Masai villages for us to visit. He was incredibly fun and we would recommend him (Richard is the man) and Akondo Adventures to anyone wanting an unforgettable time in Tanzania.
Thank you Richard, Boris and Akondo Adventures for making our honeymoon the best trip!

One of the best experiences we have ever had
In April 2025, we went on a 3-day safari in Tanzania with Akondo Adventures – and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! From the start, everything was organized perfectly: We received our domestic flight tickets even before our journey began, and the hotel transfer was punctual and smooth – we were picked up early to make the most of the day.
Our guide, Mr. Rama, was absolutely fantastic. He shared so much knowledge, took the time to stop wherever there were animals to observe, and made the whole experience incredibly special. We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five, and Mr. Rama answered every single question our 10-year-old son had with great care and joy. He really went above and beyond for us.
One of the absolute highlights was the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti – a breathtaking, magical experience! The lodges selected by the agency were stunning – every one of them comfortable, clean, and full of warm, welcoming people. We felt safe and at home the entire time.
I celebrated my birthday on April 9th, and in the evening the team at the lodge surprised me with a cake and sang for me – all arranged by Akondo Adventures. It was incredibly touching and unforgettable.
We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater – each one unique and awe-inspiring. On the final day, my husband wasn't feeling well, and Mr. Rama kindly took us to a pharmacy, helped with translation, and made sure we got the right medication – such personal care is rare and so appreciated!
To top it all off, the agency’s director personally came to the airport in Arusha to check in with us and say goodbye before we returned to Zanzibar – a truly special gesture.
Great value, fantastic communication, unforgettable memories.
We wholeheartedly recommend Akondo Adventures – thank you for this incredible journey!
Very informative and responsive
So happy we booked with akondo adventures Boris helped us customise our own private safari with flights and transfers from Zanzibar. He was quick to respond with any questions we had.
Our guide Richard was fantastic made us feel very welcome and comfortable and was very informative about the animals around the park. We would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a bespoke safari.

Always positive impression, well organized & professional
From the start it went well!
Boris was proactive & helped us to choose the right trips for 2 days.
First day, we almost caught up the big 5.
Then went to accommodation, that feels indeed comfy, refreshing & most important that it was clean.
The food was good quality, which exceeded our expectations.
Nevertheless, Boris checked on us in the end of the day to assure that all went well.
We met up at the airport, when we learnt that he double checked regarding the flight changes or any updates…
All in all, we enjoyed.
I can recommend Akondo for its excellent customer services.

Excellent safari and accomodations
Our trip was really amazing. The fact that Akondo organized everything initially according to our time and budget was really an asset. On the first day communication was not so good because the tour programme said we had breakfast included on that day and it wasn't, and so we tried to explain them that they should exclude that from the programme, which I hope they do to get it clear. But other than that, Boris was available to answer all our questions and communication any time,since the first moment . The hotels and lodge they work with have really good quality. We did 3-day safari with our guide Richard that revealed a lot of knowledge about the national parks, tha masaaai, and biodiversity on the region. He was also very gentle, respectful, sensitive and funny, and tried to provide the best experience to us every minute

THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE!
Im writing this because I really want to share how pleased I am after my safari trip with Akondo Adventures.
Starting with all the organization of Boris, he planned the whole trip, he answered all my doubts at any time, my job is very difficult for me to take the time to plan everything ahead and that wasn’t needed because he did all the job.
I was travelling with my mom and my auntie, we are from Argentina and I am the only English speaker, our guide Richard he put all efforts in speaking ALL THE TIME in Spanish, he made my vacation waaay more easier since otherwise I needed to translate every single word for them, thanks to him I enjoyed 100% as well since I could rely on him, I knew that they were having so much fun and understanding everything at the same time, he was answering their questions (and they had tons) and he gave us the most amazing experience ever!
Talking about the safari itself we managed to see everything, Richard was putting a lot of effort for us to see the Big Five, AND WE SAW THEM ALL!!! We did Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, one place better than the previous one.
The accommodations were great, Boris did an amazing job choosing every single them, everyone was super helpful and kind with the three of us.
Definitely the best decision I’ve ever made, I cannot wait to have another adventure in Tanzania and I would certainly choose Akondo Adventures again!
Thank you so much Richard and Boris, you made these 3 women extremely happy :)
