We recently booked a 3-day/2-night fly-in safari to Kogatende (Northern Serengeti) with Akondo Adventures, and it exceeded every single expectation we had! Since this was part of our honeymoon, we were looking for something truly extraordinary, and Akondo delivered from start to finish.
Flying directly into Kogatende saved us so much travel time and put us right in the heart of the action from day one. The absolute highlight of the trip was witnessing the Great Migration—seeing the wildebeest river crossings in person was an intense, breathtaking experience that we will never forget.
The tented camps were incredible—combining an authentic "out in the wild" feel with surprising comfort, great food, and the magical experience of falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti.
A massive shoutout to our guide, Fonika! Fonika was simply outstanding. His knowledge of the park, animal behavior, and keen eye for spotting wildlife made all the difference. He knew exactly where to position us for the best views without being intrusive, and his warm energy and professional driving made every game drive a joy.
Everything—from the flight logistics to the game drives and camp arrangements—was executed seamlessly. If you are looking for an action-packed, unforgettable Serengeti experience, we cannot recommend Akondo Adventures and Fonika enough. Asante sana!

Attention to detaila
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Adventure Safaris on our trip to Victoria Falls and Hluhluwe Game Reserve.
From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Everything was well organised, hassle-free, and taken care of with great attention to detail. We never had to worry about the logistics because the team made sure everything ran smoothly.
The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and they went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable and memorable. Their knowledge of the destinations and wildlife really added to the experience.
We truly appreciated the personal attention and excellent service throughout the trip. It was a fantastic adventure, and we would happily recommend Adventure Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organised, stress-free safari experience.

Exceptional safari, great guide
My husband and I did 2 nights in Samburu, 1 night in Nakuru, and 3 nights in Masai Mara, and it was a memorable experience.
Our guide was John, and he played an important role in making the trip exceptional. John is knowledgeable, knows the parks and wildlife well, is a great spotter, and an excellent driver.
At Samburu, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, and most of Samburu’s Special Five. Only because of his judgment did we have a great sighting of a cheetah at Samburu. At Nakuru, we saw a pride of lions feeding, black and white rhinos, and many birds. At Masai Mara, we saw countless lions (more than 20 every day), cheetahs, leopards feeding, lions feeding, and lions with small cubs. And to top it all, we even saw a river crossing at Sand River, again because of John’s judgment. He never rushed us at any sighting and never got tired of showing us animals, even when it was a long day of driving for him.
He was very pleasant and informative, and he was friends with most of the other guides, which helped with sightings. Above all, he was very kind to everyone around him, both animals and humans.
We stayed at Sopa lodges at Samburu and Nakuru, both were excellent, at Masai Mara we stayed at Jambo mara, rooms were good but food was not.
Moses from Jockey helped us in planning, email replies were quick. Only thing to note is that Jocky charges extra for card payments, clarify this. They gave us best deal.

Well organized & best experience
Three months prior to our safari tour we started communicating with Savannah and until the end of our Safari, we noticed that the entire process went very well & smoothly, the tour guide was so polite & making adjustments as per our needs. Their knowledge & experience was excellent. We are very impressed with their ability. We will definitely recommend Savannah tours for Safari.

The best possible safari experience we could have imaginged!
We were a group of four. Our safari was 10 days in September. We visited Sinya and stayed at Kambi ya Tembo camp in Amboseli Nation al Park, Tarangire National Park and stayed at Lake Burunge Baobab Lodge. We visited lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro Crater and stayed at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. We visited The Serengeti and stayed in Dove Serengeti Camp and Maramara Tented Lodge.
Our personal tour guide was amazing. He was experienced, very knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats/behaviors. He was very patient and kind, not just with us but with the other tour providers/guides. He was always with us and he made sure all of our needs were met. We had water and other drinks available to us in our safari vehicle and the picnic lunches were plentiful and very tasty.
We saw enormous amount of animals and were able to see the wildebeest and zebras migrate across the Mara river.
The accommodations were wonderful. Clean, well equipped and appointed. My husband and I go camping, but these tented camps and lodges were glamping plus! The staff at all of the camps were very personable and we felt well cared for.
The food was delicious and plentiful, even in the most remote camps. Meals were prepared for us and most nights were four courses, soup, salad, main (meat, fish, chicken) vegetables ( usually four) and dessert.
Many of the camps had pools and fire pits we could enjoy.
We ended our safari trip with a three day stay in Zanzibar which was at the lovely Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort. This was also arranged for us by African Big Cats Safari.

Rioba was absolutely wonderful- incredibly helpful, caring, and supportive throughout our entire tr
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Rioba Safaris from start to finish. Communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the planning process and during the trip itself.
The entire safari was very well organized, and whenever we needed any help or had a question, the team was always available and supportive. Everything felt thoughtfully planned, from the accommodations and transfers to the overall safari experience. We especially appreciated how attentive and reliable the team was throughout the journey — it gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We visited some incredible places, stayed at beautiful camps and lodges, and had so many memorable wildlife experiences. Our driver-guide- Hakeem, Francis, Soi, and Jacob were also excellent- knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible experience.
Considering the quality of the arrangements, service, accommodations, and personalized support, we felt the trip offered very good value for money. What stood out most to us was the personal care and assistance throughout the entire journey. It never felt like we were just another booking.
We are extremely happy that we chose Rioba Safaris and would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so smooth, special, and memorable.

Wilson is the best!
This is the second time that we have coordinated with Wilson and we were not disappointed. In December of 2025 we did a 3 day safari and it was amazing. We saw everything on our list. We were back again in August and didn’t have a lot of time to do anything so Wilson planned a beautiful day trip to the equator and to Mt Kenya, where he planned a delicious meal and we hiked around the mountain.
5 stars all the way from us.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We had a great time! Matt at Tapestry of Africa promised an amazing adventure and the team did not disappoint. We saw all the animals we wanted to see in their natural habitats, including the Big Five more than once, zebras, giraffes, warthogs with babies, crocodiles, flamingos, Topi, Thomson gazelles, baboons, birds, and birds and birds!. Travel was seamless. We were well taken care of at all times. We cannot say enough about the staff and the service from Tapestry of Africa.
The driver/guides were fantastic – we had Joseph in Kenya, Vincent in Tanzania and Johannes in Zanzibar. These guys were over the top great at their jobs. They were prompt, communicative, knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. In particular, they made us feel safe, secure and confident. Several times we would mention an animal (rhino, male lion) that we hadn’t seen yet, and lo and behold, Joseph or Vincent would find it. Amazing!
We will never forget our breath-taking trip with Tapestry of Africa
