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 :)

Outstanding attention to detail!
Right from our first inquiry Gail was right on board! She helped us plan our trip and made sure all the small details were attended to. Accommodation was spot on, transfers and drivers were on time and informative. Gail kept in touch with us constantly and answered all our questions as the day to departure approached. Could not fault Gail from Pembury tours. Highly recommend them.

It has been an unforgettable experience. A dream trip.
Everything was ok.
The guide and the driver have been very attentive and the coordinador quickly resolved our doubts. We saw the big five, increíble. We paid in dolars. The lodges are well equipped and the food is good.

Best hiking experience ever!
Best hiking experience ever! I did the 7-day lemosho hiking route at Kilimanjaro, our guide Charles has been amazing, giving all kinds of useful information, making sure I have everything I need and well prepared for all kinds of situations. He’s pretty encouraging as well, constantly giving me momentum and keeping a really good pace. We also have a nice team with our chef Nicolas, and porters Peter, Julius, Dominic and Riziki, super grateful for all the efforts they’ve put in. Anyway, this has been the most amazing experience ever, I’ll definitely consider taking my family and friends with me next time. Thank u guys.

9 days of wonderful adventure with superb guide, Philipo
I travel solo and consequently the price was accordingly, but basically with great acommodation, wonderful food and amazing adventure, it was amazing. I found that something happened pretty much all the time, it is more now at home that I realise how amazing this was. I included 2 night excurtions, which were really extraordinary. You see lions just lying on the dirt road, chilling out.
Wile I did see the big 5, and many more beautiful animals & birds, I do recommend bringing some sort og binoculars / zoom lens. You also need a certain amount of patience, as it may take a while for the leopard to pose, as in my experience.
I recommend it 100 %, everything was organised as intended. Acommodation was great and the food likewise. Most importantly was that my guide / drive Philipo was able and willing to go the extra mile. His knowledge was passed on freely and basically, I had a fabulous time.

Wonderful Hike On Kilimanjaro
I booked an 8-day Lemosho hike up Kilimanjaro with Migration Venture Africa and it was awesome. Communication with Amos was easy and I joined a group with three other climbers and it all went smoothly, actually better than I expected.
The actual trek was very well organized. We started off by confirming that I had proper equipment and enough warm layers for the cold sections. Amos helped me get some of the items I did not have.
We had two excellent guides; Kim and Joseph with us. They took excellent care of us as we trekked up the mountain, and closely monitored our response to the high altitude. They maintained very excellent conditions for us, with excellent camping equipment, plentiful food, and above all great people to be around. The four of us all made it to the summit and our success heavily relied on the wonderful support from our crew.
I cannot forget to appreciate the porters for all the heavy lifting and our cook Brian. You were all awesome.
Asante sana!

Good
I think it's very good. I saw a lot of animals, and the driver is also very nice. I look forward to seeing more animals next time.

Exceptional tour operator
Just returned from a magnificent 3 day Serengeti safari with Goldfinch Adventures .The communication from Brenda was from the beginning was 10/10, I thought, attentive and quick to answer any questions, she happily helped us with everything we needed, Our excellent guide Walanga was there to meet us on arrival at Arusha Airport. The safari started that morning and was a true marvel. Our guide Walanga had over 17 years of experience in his work and it was amazing how with his eyes he could see many animals in the distance. We were able to see all the big five over the 3 days. The accommodation on both nights was exceptional with great food, I would definitely recommend staying in a luxury tented accommodation in Serengeti as loved listening to the animals at night. It was great and felt so safe with the Masai keeping an eye on things.
It's definitely worth the price you pay. There are many companies that offer even less and are more expensive. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Goldfinch Adventures and I will recommend it to anyone who asks, as everything went fantastically beyond our expectations
