Beyond exceptional – A flawless luxury honeymoon experience!
I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from Akondo Adventures was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For our honeymoon, we did a 3-day tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.
Boris, the owner, handles the organization with incredible precision and attention to detail. His pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. He took it upon himself to add some magical touches for our honeymoon, including a complete surprise—our wedding photo beautifully displayed on the back of our safari jeep! Boris is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury lodges he lined up for us were outstanding, and the staff at each property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.
Then there was our guide, Richard, who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. He was waiting for us right at the airport with cold drinks and refreshments, setting the tone for the entire trip. Richard’s knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
If you want a flawless, high-end, and deeply personal safari experience, Akondo Adventures is the gold standard. Thank you, Boris and Richard, for making our honeymoon unforgettable!

A trip organized by solid professionals
We traveled for over two weeks from north to south of Ethiopia, coinciding with the Easter rites and visiting sites of major historical, religious, and ethnic significance. Our overall assessment is largely positive.
Excellent organization, well-timed, interesting stops, and appropriate rest stops.
The entire staff, from trip preparation to communication, from the welcome to the intermediate, final, and post-trip phases, demonstrated extreme professionalism and preparation. Everyone proved to be excellent professionals, and even all the drivers were very friendly!
And yet, throughout the trip, we felt supported at all times by a superb guide, to whom we can only pay tribute and applaud for his preparation, his never dull conversations, and his wide-ranging expertise, which demands knowledge and passion for this work and for the country that hosted us. The country's richness of nuances would otherwise be difficult to grasp without such a solid and attentive partner, attentive to our desires and requests. Such well-organized trips make you want to return soon!

Explore Plus supported by Predator Safari’s exceeded all expectations and is your no 1 safari
Our Serengeti experience with Explore Plus was a once in a life time Wow experience!
Dennis our guide was the best we could ever have asked for. He took us on roads less traveled and made us feel so special. His knowledge of the fauna and flora were so enlightening and gave us a great perspective of Serengeti and its inhabitants. The arrangements at the lodges, the transportation and the surprise breakfast on our last day at Serena Serengeti were seamless and beyond professional! Communication was excellent, 24 hour support, best value for money (great accommodations and fabulous meals) and the tour was well planned. We were treated like royalty,
Thank you so very very much! You are the best agency we ever booked with.
You shall see us again, hopefully soon 👏

Unforgettable Safari Experience - 10/10 with Beacon Safaris
We had a 💯 experience with Beacon Safaris from start to finish.
The booking process was smooth and personal. Elaine took time to understand our needs and tailored our itinerary perfectly. Our tour guide, Carlos, was absolutely amazing. He made the trip exciting, adventurous, and unforgettable.
The wildlife encounters were mind-blowing. We had front-row views of a lioness and her cubs, lions mating, elephants up close, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, and buffalo in their herds. We also got to see the Big 5 across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hell’s Gate National Park.
Beacon Safaris made our stay in Kenya truly beautiful. It was an awesome experience for my wife and me, and one we’ll always cherish. I highly recommend Beacon Safaris for anyone looking for an enriching and well-organized safari.
