Perfect oraganitation.
Assad Guda has been the best guide we could have ever had. We had the chance to see all the animals thanks to his eyesight. We couldn't wish more.

awesome tour!!!
The guide was very friendly and explained Tanzania's tribes and animals in detail, so it was a very fulfilling day! I had fun seeing a lot of animals in Ngorongoro (^^)

Best of the Best
We booked our safari with Susan and I'd say everything was above the standard we expected thanks to the team at Epic Star Holidays.
Our guide David was the best and ensured we spotted the Big 5 and gave us loads of information about the animals in our 5 days safari.
I highly recommend Epic Star Holidays.

Wonderful 3 days Safari-Tour
We did Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in three days and it has been wonderful. These three places have been a good combination to see many animals and even various types of vegetation. Our guide Elisante could provide us interesting information about all these places and the life/behavioir of its animals. Due to many years of experience he always knew where to go.

This was an excellent tour. I highly recommend it.
Booking this tour with Akondo Adventures was easy and seemless from beginning to end. Boris, our booking agent, covered everything in detail and was very responsive to any questions I had. He responded within minutes, sometimes seconds. Everything was flawless, from booking the lodge, the flight to and from Zanzibar, and the game drive. Our driver, Simon, was friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw the big five although I was not expecting to see any leopards or rhinos, but to my amazement we spotted both. Special thank you to Boris and Simon who went above and beyond to make our safari a memorable experience that we will never forget. I would definitely book with Akondo Adventures for our next safari.

Awesome, excellent, superb, engaging and energizing experience
Very well organized tour and the food was excellent as it was our fear being vegetarian. The drivers Jerry and Abby rocked and they knew every little thing about the places. Our children enjoyed a lot engaging conversation with them about the animals and the surroundings and learned a lot from them. Will be very happy to recommend this company for our friends and who ever wishes to take the trip.

Super organised, courteous, efficient and helpful in all respects
We hired a 4 x 4 from Land & Lake for 17 days for our self-drive, lodge-based holiday in Zambia and Malawi, and also used them for transport to and from the airport and our Lilongwe accommodation. The planning and booking process by email, spread over several weeks, was most efficient with all queries answered promptly and thoroughly.
The service we received on arrival and throughout our stay was excellent in all respects: quick, courteous, thorough and clear. Jim was at the airport to meet us and help with getting a local Airtel sim (excellent value at £5 for 25 GB, valid 30 days!) and currency from an ATM. He gave us a very clear and thorough briefing on the vehicle, whilst Khama dealt with insurance, documentation and suchlike including setting up a WhatsApp group to allow contact with all relevant parties as the trip progressed, and providing a “fixer” at the Zambian border in both directions to deal with all formalities: a real boon.
The Toyota Hilux was almost new and thus in excellent condition and just perfect for the trip. It had an excellent ‘fridge for cooling drinks and a basket of essential picnic items etc. Its return was equally efficient as collection and all transport arrangements reassuringly reliable and cheerfully conducted. All in all, we would – as very seasoned Africa self-drive travellers - have no hesitation in using Land & Lake again, or recommending them to others, whether they are first-timers or most experienced.

Accommodations and experiences were fabulous.
Our rooms at Kensington Palace were lovely, as were the hotel staff. Cape Town is an amazing city with many wonderful sites to see, including Lion's Head and Table Mountain, and the Mojo Market. Kruger was amazing and the accommodations at the Lukimbi Safari Lodge were top-notch in every way. The guides put us where the wild animals were sure to be, and the cuisine was simply amazing. Finally, Victoria Falls was a must-do. The Falls are spectacular, and the Gorge-Swing was exhilarating! Staying at the Old Drift Lodge was also marvelous, again staffed with wonderful people and amazing meals. All-in-all, it was a five-star vacation for all of us (ages from 20 to 60).

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. The weather was great every day. We experienced beautiful scenery and the Falls are breathtaking. We had an excellent guide and lodging were wonderful.
