Big 5 in 3 days!
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Akondo Adventures, thanks in large part to our guide, Richard. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable journey. Richard’s extensive knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes made each moment informative and exciting, and his infectious good humor kept our spirits high. In just three days, he expertly led us to see the Big Five—a thrilling highlight of our trip!

The Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Parks were especially breathtaking, with countless unforgettable moments observing the animals up close. While Lake Manyara National Park didn’t quite match the excitement of the other parks, it was still a nice addition to our itinerary. We can recommend Richard, highly enough for anyone looking to experience Tanzania’s beauty to the fullest.

5/5

We travelled with our 4 year old daughter and it was carefully designed to fit us. The hotels were chosen well, the food was very good, picnic hampers each day were excellent with beer and wine. The driver was very knowledgeable and would answer any questions we had. Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend Akondo to others too.

Akondo Adventures: A Perfectly Crafted Safari Experience
5/5

I recently went on a 3-day safari with Akondo Adventures, visiting Ngorongoro Crater and the southern part of Serengeti (Lake Ndutu area). We had a tight schedule, and I reached out to Akondo just two weeks before our trip to Tanzania. Boris from Akondo got in touch with me and was extremely responsive, answering all of my questions clearly and promptly. I shared my budget with him, and he tailored the itinerary to fit it perfectly.
Boris took care of everything, arranging flights to Arusha and back, as well as pick-up and drop-off in Dar es Salaam. He also made a thoughtful recommendation for our accommodation, suggesting we stay one night in a camp and the other in a lodge. Since I am a bit scared of insects, especially in open jungle areas, this compromise worked wonderfully. The Niyanki Camp was an unforgettable experience, and my parents loved the recommended Serena Lodge. Both options were fantastic, but I personally think that staying in the camp really immerses you in the wilderness experience.
Boris even took the time to meet us in person both when we arrived and set off on our safari as well as before we left for Dar es Salam which was a nice, personal touch and made us more comfortable. Our guide, David, was exceptional. He was always punctual, knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and the parks, and maintained a great attitude throughout. His skill at spotting animals, even while driving, was remarkable. Thanks to him, we saw a lot of wildlife, including part of the migration in the southern Serengeti, and even spotted 4 out of the Big 5 (lion, rhino, buffalo, and elephant). David always made sure we had what we needed and patiently took the time to ensure we had the best experience possible.
Akondo Adventures was well-organized, communicative, and transparent with no hidden fees or unpleasant surprises. From start to finish, they were professional yet personal, making us feel like part of the family. If you're looking for a safari experience that combines expertise with a friendly, personal touch, I highly recommend Akondo Adventures!

The tour was absolutely fantastic! It was a two day tour, the first day was dedicated to exploring the terrain, while the second focused on an incredible mountain adventure. Each day offered unique and enriching experiences. The tour guide was friendly, accommodating, and highly informative, which added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this experience!

Amazing safari
5/5

We chose Akondo Adventures to do a 2-day safari. Boris took care of all the organization, truly excellent. We didn't have to think about anything. He organized the flight and internal transfers very well. Once we left for the safari we met Richard, our safari driver, who turned out to be an excellent and very competent guide, both in pointing out animals that were initially difficult for us to see and in the explanations and always available to answer all our questions and curiosities. They were 2 unforgettable days!!!

Akando, with Mr. Richard as a guide, was professional and friendly.
5/5

We had an amazing 3-day safari, wisiting both Serengeti and Ngororo. The guide, Mr. Richard was truly professional and made us feel very welcome. We got to see 4 of "the big 5" even though the grass at this time of year makes it difficult. We also got to encounter lions from very close, and our guide did his very best to make our safari memorable. The accomodation on this trip (Serena Hotel) couldn't have been better. Amazing atmosphere, great food and great people.

3-day safari with Akondo Adventures: great guide, seamless transfers, stunning parks, and top lodges
5/5

The safari organized by Akondo Adventures was absolutely outstanding! We were a group of 7 people, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The trip included seamless transfers from Zanzibar to Arusha and visits to the breathtaking Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Parks. Our guide, David, accompanied us throughout the three days of the safari, and he was exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always attentive to every detail. The accommodations were fantastic: we stayed at Tarangire Simba Lodge in Tarangire and Baghayo Lodge near the Ngorongoro Gate. The organization was truly exemplary, making this an unforgettable experience.
