Very good
4/5

I had an amazing experience with Akini Safari Tour! The driver was absolutely perfect—he was not only professional but also genuinely enthusiastic about the safari. He actively participated in searching for animals with us, which made the experience even more special.

The food provided was excellent, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible accommodations. The overall ambience of the tour was fantastic, creating a perfect blend of excitement and comfort.

I highly recommend Akini Safari Tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari experience.

Excellent tour
5/5

Very good safari. We saw everything we wanted and more. The food was very good and the driver was very helpful. He was really making his best to give us the best views on the animals and helped us also to buy some souvenirs.

Unforgettable Safari trip
5/5

Nicely organised 6 days safari. We enjoyed every day of the journey

Overwhelmed by how well the safari went and by how good value it was.
5/5

The safari was great, tents comfortable and tour guide far exceeded expectations.

I wanted to see predators and we saw all three major ones plenty of times (lion, cheetah and leopard) including two hunting. The guide (Godfrey) always made sure to take us somewhere new and was able to spot animals beyond the horizon somehow, like a sixth sense. Of course we saw elephants, hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, vultures, hippos, crocs, ostriches, mongeese, zebras and loads of birds. We even saw a few rhinos from a distance.

The tents and food were all arranged without fuss, and we were never hungry, nor cold or uncomfortable besides driving the dirt roads on safari but even luxury safaris use those same roads and vehicles.

The vehicle was clean and suitable, no one ever was without a view of an animal and we changed orderly to make sure front seat was evenly used.

I was sceptical of the whole arrangement after my time elsewhere in Africa but the whole thing went off as well as expected or better. The price didn't change from the quote, everything they said was included was true and the office staff checked in daily in case anything needed extra help (it didn't).

I highly recommend Makini and will be recommending them to friends if they go to Tanzania. I don't know what other tours were like or the price they paid but I couldn't find anything cheaper for the inclusions and even as a dodgy budget backpacker was extremely happy with the whole experience.

Organised reasonably well but should have given more safari time in Serengeti and ngorongoro
4/5

The tour started with Tarangire safari which is a decent experience, with some large herds of elephants and buffaloes. We did see lions and giraffes. The stay at a resort on the way to Serengeti was ok. Serengeti was wonderful and the guide made every effort to take us wherever there were interesting sightings. The camp site at Serengeti was bearable at most and we spent just one night there. We could hear hyenas and a lion roar at night, which was quite exciting. The next half day is all we got at Serengeti though we did see a lion hunting a zebra. After a quick lunch we headed back towards ngorongoro. Considering the distance we had to cover both ways, the stay at Serengeti was far too short (you require at least 3 nights and 3 days for a relaxing Serengeti safari) . We reached ngorongoro before sunset. The tents, stay and the weather were very comfortable. The next half day is all we got (again too short) at ngorongoro. The park though small still requires a full day if you wish to relax and go around at your pace. There again it was found wanting as we just completed everything hurriedly. I feel the guide stopped at too many places on the way to the parks and we spent unnecessary time at stops. The operator (Makini) who organised the tour tried to squeeze in too many things in a short span. We could easily have skipped Tarangire and added another day to Serengeti. The food was great at times and mediocre at times. The guide and chef I would say did their best but as I said we moved too often from one place to the other leaving very little time for them to do their job properly and for us to relax. In the end we did cover a lot of distance which could have been avoided giving us more time for safari.
