The best safari experience I could ever have - Highly recommended
After a lot of research, we chose to do our safari in the Serengeti with Wakanda Tours and Safari — and it was the best decision we could’ve made!
Right from the start, during the quote and planning phase, Goodluck (more than just a salesperson) helped us design an itinerary that would make the most of our time on safari. When we arrived in Arusha — after a delayed bus ride from Nairobi — the Wakanda team, especially our driver Joshua, not only picked us up but also took us to lunch, helped us get coffee, exchange money, and supported us with everything we needed upon arrival in Tanzania. Ben, the company manager, gave us a full briefing for the days ahead.
Our guide, Willy, was simply outstanding! Incredibly experienced and deeply knowledgeable, he guided us through the savannah for five days, showing us an astonishing number and variety of animals — far more than I ever imagined possible in such a short time. What truly set Willy apart was his passion for wildlife, his sharp eye for spotting animals from a distance, and his remarkable ability to predict their movements. Patient, respectful, and always in good spirits, he made us feel safe, inspired, and fully immersed in the experience. Willy didn’t just lead our safari — he made it unforgettable.
And then there was Dula, our personal chef, who completely won us over! Always cheerful and attentive, he prepared the most delicious meals imaginable — without a doubt, one of the highlights of the trip.
I’m so grateful to the entire Wakanda team for making this dream come true. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone!

Jartan Laizer was professional and friendly.
Traveling with a group ranging in age from 13 to 81 means one has to be able to make all the experiences work for all of us. This isn't an easy task, but Jartan made it work. From the minute we arrived to the moment we departed he was there to make sure everything ran smoothly. The drivers he selected were fantastic and worked well with our group. We got to have many cultural experiences by interacting with many of the people on our travels learning about rice farming, actually getting to take part in purchasing products in the local market, visiting a banana plantation, checking out several tribes including the bushmen with their amazing click language, a Masai tribe, and even a tribe that were expert metal workers. The safari portion was exciting and filled with the wonder of the great migration. Accommodations were good and actually quite impressive in how well they were appointed. Everything about the tour was well executed and ran like clockwork. The service everywhere we went was well done with friendly helpful folks and feel this was a good trip for our group.

Amazing experience from beginning to end
We participated the 2-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Karibu Tena helped us all along and provided unforgettable memories! Communcation was easy, departures were on time, travelling was smooth. The jeeps looked safe and well-maintained. Our guide was really friendly, talkative and had a great knowledge of National Parks. Food and water was well enough, accomodation was unique and located with amazing view. While Tarangire is more like the "classic" safari, Ngorongoro is truly a uniqe experience with varying flora and fauna.
All in all, Karibu Tena Tours is a very reliable safari operator I highly suggest, well worth the price!

Professional and reliable
We booked our gorilla trekking activity with Magical Gorilla Adventures on the recommendation of a friend who had previously used their services. We worked with Kolo, who was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the planning process. He was always accessible via WhatsApp and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed advice.
Everything - from the gorilla trekking itself to the lodge accommodation was seamlessly arranged and exceeded our expectations. We had a truly memorable and well-organized experience.
We highly recommend Magical Gorilla Adventures to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced agency to handle their gorilla trekking adventure.

Helpful, Communicative, Friendly, Knowledgeable and Great Value company - perfect in every way
Ozon Light Tours were superb from start to finish. Have no worries about booking with this Tanzanian travel company instead of one in your own country that will just double the price and add their own margin. Ozon were excellent value and arranged a superb holiday for us.
My initial contact with Yohana when we were working out the details of our trip to Tanzania was excellent. He gave me an initial tour itinerary and then we amended it slightly until we were happy with everything. He was helpful and knowledgeable and got back to us really quickly with prices and changes. It seemed too good to be true but, in truth, he is just really really good.
We went with Ozon's recommendations for all our accommodation and every single hotel was excellent - we couldn't quite believe how nice they were for what we paid and all transport, half or full board meals, etc were all included too. We particularly liked the tented accommodation in the middle of the Serengeti where we heard lions, zebra and hyena nearby at night. But the Marera Lodge, Tembo hotel in Zanzibar Stone twon and also Mahali Zanzibar beach hotel were also great. The whole trip went without a hitch, including all airport pickups, transport, food, etc.
And our 5 days of safari were out of this world. Be prepared for quite long days of driving but we had the amazing Karim as our guide and jeep driver for the whole trip. Karim worked incredibly hard all the time - getting us up and away early in the morning and then driving all day, spotting animals and finding us great places to stop for snacks and game viewing. And in the evening when we got to the hotel and just wanted to crash out, he took time to clean the jeep and restock it with drinks for the next day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with at all times and we became good friends by the end of the trip. Absolutely fantastic.
Tanzania is a special and beautiful country to visit and you will definitely be in safe hands and have a brilliant time if you choose Ozon Light tours.

Perfect and reliable!
We recently completed a 3-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park with Akondo Adventures, and the experience was extraordinary. We decided last minute to go on safari and from the first email with Boris to the final drop-off at the airport, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.
Also our guide, Victor, made this trip special. His sharp eye meant we saw far more than we expected — from a rare cheetah hunt, an amazing and exiting lions hunt to an incredible variety of wildlife. While we didn’t spot rhinos or leopards this time, we saw so much else that the experience still felt incredibly rich. Victor always knew when to wait, when to move, and seemed to anticipate where the action would happen. He was warm, respectful of the animals and environment, and made the entire journey feel personal and meaningful.
If we were to plan another 3-day safari, we might skip Tarangire NP and spend an extra day in the Serengeti — though Tarangire does have its own charm, especially with its beautiful landscapes, unique ecosystem, and iconic baobab trees.
The accommodations arranged by Akondo Adventures were excellent — especially the tented camp (Moyo) that let us feel immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort. The meals were fresh and generous, and all logistics were smooth and seamless, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the experience.
If you’re looking for a reliable, ethical, and well-organized safari operator in Tanzania, I fully recommend Akondo Adventures. And if you’re lucky enough to have Victor as your guide — you're in for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Excellent tour guide and smooth booking process
I booked the tour 6 months ago and the communication was smooth. Payment was secured and easy to do, only 10% downpayment needed.
From day 1 of the safari to the end our tour guide Peter ensured we had the time of our life. Clear in communication about expectations for the next day (start time, program, duration), friendly and professional. Car was kept in good maintenance, also during the rests. We made every effort that we would see the Big Five, which we did and more much!
Would highly recommend using JOAGRO Safari for your next Safari.

Reliable, dedicated, and highly recommended!
Daniel was a very reliable tour coordinator – everything he promised was delivered on time and as agreed. The tour was well organized, and his explanations were clear and helpful. Looking back, we could have coordinated a bit more closely during the planning, especially regarding the balance between Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti. In our case, more time in Serengeti might have been the better fit. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic experience with excellent support – highly recommended!
