Professional and welcoming
We had a 3 day safari with Balu Travel, our tour guides were Jonathan and Jackson, they were both amazing. Jonathan was very knowledgable about the animals we saw, told us a lot about everything we saw, one note worthy mention was that giraffes do not emit any noise and communicate via eye sight. He also engaged in conversations with us and was very passionate about his culture and teaching us about what is means to be a Masaai man, and how they see the world. He was also very curious about our culture and really enjoyed learning about us. Jackson was the driver during the safari, he was always on point with spotting the wild animals and helping us see them, positioning the vehicle so we can have the beat view, and never rushing us so we can enjoy the moment. A noteworthy moment was that for our second day safari Jackson wore traditional Masaai attire which added a very nice atmosphere to our safari, he was as well very enthusiastic about sharing his culture and learning about us. All in all, he safari was amazing, I honestly think we got the best tour guides in the industry, their friendliness and professionalism allowed us to not only see all the animals we wanted, but also learn so much about their culture and customs. Thank you very much, I recommend this company for really good value for money and amazing tour guides.

Very flexible and considerate of your requirements
We booked our safari through Akondo Adventures for our honeymoon. From the very beginning they were very flexible in accomodating our trip requirements and accomodations, we were after. Communication was prompt and they were flexible with phone calls, noting the time difference.
Some of the hotels which were booked for us were absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views and the tent escape we had in Serengeti definitely felt like being immersed in nature.
Unfortunely on the trip we fell unwell, however Akondo Adventures adjusted our itinerary and managed accomodations for us on a very last minute basis and we are so grateful for Tassiana and Boris for being so helpful and considerate.
Our safari driver Julius, was incredibly kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the geography and animals.
We would definitely recommend booking through Akondo Adventures!

Best Safari we had
We had an amazing safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Suricata. Our guide, Anton, was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and always determined to give us the best possible view. Thanks to his effort, we saw every animal we had hoped to see. Anton made us feel comfortable through all the tour. We highly recommend Anton and Suricata!

Fantastic
Antony accompanied us on our 5-day safari—including 2 days in the Serengeti, 2 days in the Ngorongoro Crater, and 1 day in Tarangire—and he did a fantastic job.
You could tell immediately that he genuinely loves what he does. He brings over 10 years of experience as a safari driver, and that routine showed in every situation: he knew exactly where to find the wildlife, stayed completely calm, and made sure we got to see the best spots across all three parks. We jokingly called him Mister Sunshine because he has such a positive vibe and went out of his way to make sure all our wishes were met.
Aside from speaking decent German, he is also completely fluent in English, which made communication completely seamless throughout the entire trip.
Anyone looking for an experienced, relaxed, and dedicated guide will be in the best hands with Antony. Thanks for the great time!

Wonderful big 5 experience!!!
An excellent safari experience in the Masai Mara. Raimond was a fantastic driver—professional, experienced, attentive, knowledgeable, and always helpful.
Both the afternoon game drive and the one the following day were highly successful; we saw the "Big Five" while maintaining a respectful and cautious approach toward the environment.
AXIS Agency proved to be professional, reliable, and well-organized. Highly recommended for a Masai Mara safari.
