A Legendary Adventure with Akondo Adventure and the Incredible Richard 🐘
If you’re looking for the perfect safari, look no further: Akondo Adventure is the ultimate choice.
I first discovered Richard through some emotional videos on TikTok. I checked online reviews and even reached out to some girls on Instagram who had previously traveled with them. Everyone spoke so highly of the agency and their guide, Richard, that I decided to ask for a quote. I was immediately impressed by how professional, clear, and detailed the daily itinerary was—it was so well-curated that I could already visualize the magic.
Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire
My 3-day/2-night safari was flawless:
* The Accommodations: We stayed in tented lodges that were absolutely fantastic. They were modern and spotless, yet completely immersed in nature, allowing us to fully live the wild experience.
* The Food: The quality was fantastic and far exceeded my expectations!
Our Guide: Richard, the Expert
The real highlight of our trip was our guide, Richard. His professionalism and expertise are truly next-level. Thanks to his keen eye and deep knowledge of the bush, we saw millions of animals and successfully spotted all of the Big Five! He truly made the difference.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will remember forever. I couldn't have made a better choice. If you want an unforgettable, professional, and authentic safari, I highly recommend Akondo Adventure. I would choose them again in a heartbeat! 10/10 highly recommended.
I was so thrilled with the experience that I’ve already decided to send my sister and my parents to Akondo Adventure for their future safari. I wouldn’t trust my family with anyone else, as I know that with Richard and this team, they would be in safe hands and would experience a total dream, just like I did.

The boss of the savanna!!! 4x4 off-road vehicle
Our safari experience was simply incredible, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, the great Raymond. He was an excellent driver, very punctual and always attentive. He explained everything with great enthusiasm, and you could genuinely tell that he wanted us to see as many animals as possible.
From the very first day he showed impressive leadership; he even moved quickly across the savannah so we could spot a leopard, which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He made us feel safe, excited, and very well taken care of at all times. Without a doubt, a world-class experience that we will always remember. Highly recommended — truly the best driver in the whole wide world! ✨

An Unforgettable African Adventure – 5-Star Experience!
If you are looking for a seamless, breathtaking, and truly authentic safari experience in Kenya, look no further! From the very first contact to the final drop-off, everything was handled with world-class professionalism.
The Game Drives: Simply mind-blowing. Our guide was an absolute expert with a 'eagle eye' for spotting wildlife. We saw everything we dreamed of and more, all while learning so much about the ecosystem. The timing and pace of the drives were perfect, ensuring we were always at the right spot at the right moment.
The Camp: The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and perfectly integrated into nature. The staff at the camp made us feel really good, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere at night was magical.
The Logistics: Everything ran like clockwork, not a single worry. Even the small details (like helping us secure and print our SGR train tickets) were handled for us. It’s rare to find this level of care and reliability.. Highly recommended!

Incredible!
We had an incredible two-day safari experience. Our driver and guide, Raymond, was excellent: very professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the animals; it was a completely successful safari.
The rest stop/lodge was spectacular, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting, which made the experience even better. I recommend this company 100%. I would definitely do it again.

Magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience
Osman and Alfons welcomed us with open arms and wide smiles, giving us the opportunity to see a lot of what Tanzania has to offer. Teaching us about local wildlife, vegetation and culture. We were lucky enough to see a huge variety of animals when on safari, which will stay with us forever. The travel days also gave us the opportunity to see many local villages and their way of life. Throughout the whole trip we were able to stay at beautiful hotels with incredibly kind staff.
Thank you Osman, Alfons and everyone else who made this trip extra special! Asante sana!

Amazing experice, unforgettable
This safari was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Day 1 – Serengeti: We were blown away by the incredible landscapes and the sheer number of animals we saw. Truly breathtaking scenery everywhere we looked.
Day 2 – Ngorongoro Crater: An amazing day where we were lucky enough to see rhinos as well, which made the experience even more special.
Day 3 – Tarangire: Watching the sunrise surrounded by nature was magical, and seeing large groups of elephants so close was unforgettable.
In just three days, we managed to see everything and experience the very best of Tanzania’s wildlife. We were incredibly lucky to see all of the Big Five: lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino, and leopard.
A special mention goes to our guide Richard, who was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Nice but improvable value for money
Good-meaning agency, especially Silence who took a lot of care of us pre-departure, and we went during the green season
Overall a few critical points we observed:
1. the list of payed add-ons has low value for money, and we believe it catered specifically to a particular type of (red, white & blue) tourists
2. We don’t understand why so many meals were excluded: they could add it on top of the Safari package price for an additional +10% difference, a risk we feel not worth the major extra bother of autonomy imposed onto the customers itself.
3. WhatsApp comms with the agency didn’t work while on tour, relied on agency guide on tour (when available). Had to arrange to a cab ourselves go for dinner in VFalls, owing to miscommunication.
4. Little proactivity from agency guide on tour, available mainly when prompted, clarity with briefing can improve significantly.
5. Overall, it’s quite poor in terms of game drives, we added 2 extra bringing the total to 4 drives, to extract maximum wildlife exposure time. The game drives plan per se needs revisiting, as they planned a jeopardisingly-late departure at 8am instead of common practice ~5.30-6am for a morning game drive. We also felt that 2 days in VFalls were too many as we only cared for the falls there.
6. On the bright side, the Hwange Safari Lodge accommodation was magnificent and highly recommended for a stay, and the last-mile guides (on game drives, at the falls, on the Zambezi cruise) were very well prepared, kind and available.
