Fantastic Memories Thanks to Suricata
We had a fantastic experience on many levels. For starters, our guide, Damian Daniel, was exceptional. He has a vast knowledge of the wildlife and geography in the areas we toured, he is fun, friendly, and welcoming, he is flexible and was able to take us to banks and shops as requested, and he managed to find an assortment of wildlife for us to see, including the big five!!
Also, the food was extraordinary. We had hot, flavourful meals every lunch, made by our cook, James - who is a delightful human! And there was always lots of food to go around.
Finally, the accommodations were some of the best we have experienced because of the charm, the dinners, and the quality of the service. At every lodge, we were greeted with small cloths to clean our face and wash our hands, we were given freshly squeezed juice to drink, and we were formally greeted by the management, not to mention every evening the chef came to our table to ensure that the menu was satisfactory. And our rooms were clean and very functional. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you, Suricata, for giving us incredible memories to take home!!!
If possible, I will try and attach some pictures. Keep in mind, the pictures were taken with an iPhone -which should give you some idea of how close we were to the wildlife.

Amazing Tour of Addis Ababa
First visit to Ethiopia was not sure whether to stay in airport for layover or visit city. Contacted Etio Top Tours to ask about possible day trip. Lamesgn, the tour guide himself, messaged me back immediately and shared all details. He was regularly in touch up until my flight. Lamesgn picked me up at the airport as expected and helped ensure I saw all the good places in Addis Ababa. He also ensured I got nice, fresh vegetarian breakfast & lunch as per my request. Coffee was out of this world good. Felt more like having a new friend for a day, than a simple guided tour. I wish to come back for a longer tour. Had a great time and highly recommend this tour guide and company. My driver Silabat was also cautious and helpful.

Willow was excellent, she made every arrangement and had excellent communication!
We had a great safari all arranged and coordinated by Willow. She handled all the logistics from purchasing airline tickets to booking the lodge and guided tour (Lion Sands resort). We saw ALL the animals we were hoping to see and the service and food were outstanding! I would highly recommend Willow for anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in South Africa!

Truly Extraordinary
If you want to experience the true wonders of Ethiopia, you need an extraordinary guide like Maereg and his team.
Their knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail made for an amazing experience.
Maereg was very attentive and accommodating. It’s apparent that he wanted to make sure we were comfortable and felt secure.
All we had to do was relax and enjoy this incredible country.
I would highly recommend Maereg and his team.

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!

Incredible experience and better service
Aron took care of us from our inquiry about the gorilla trekking to the very end. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and was very prompt when responding to our questions over WhatsApp. He made us feel very comfortable the whole way through. We were taken Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, apparently this one is the hidden gem. We found the family in an hour and a half hour to stay with them for 40 minutes or so. But the whole experience was incredible. We got lucky and saw a Golden Monkey as well!

5 days safari in mara and Naivasha.
I was referred to African landmark safaris by a friend from Kenya. Communication from Jesse and Kim was perfect. Booking and payment options were good. The safari was good. The guide Paul was informative and knowledgeable. The jeep was always clean. I highly recommend this team. I will do it again!
