The best experience of my life, outstanding!
The Agent was very helpful when booking, even though I left it until the day before our safari to book our needs were met in every way. We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, flew to Arusha and was met by Boris and our Guide Richard to start our adventure. Richard was an amazing, very knowledgeable about all the animals we encounted. We stayed the night in an amazing camping lodge, then started another safari the following day, starting with a sunrise balloon ride, which was spellbinding. We see many many animals. Richard then dropped us to the airport, where we flew back to Zanzibar, was met by a taxi the other end and back to our hotel to finish our holiday.
The whole experience was perfect. I was celebrating my 50th Birthday, Akonda Safari arranged a beautiful celebration with cake for me also. I can not thank them enough for such an amazing trip of a life time.
Richard our guide educated us so much by sharing his knowledge of the African bush. I will never forget this experience and highly recommend them to others in the future
Absolute Excellence
We booked a 3 day/2 night package with Akondo Adventures from Zanzibar.
Given the short notice we gave for our booking, we were extremely impressed with Boris' communication, quick responses to our enquiries with clear and precise information. During the course of our tour, Boris kept in contact making follow ups on us as well.
We had a great guide Ayoub who shared his passion for wildlife with us and we learnt a lot from him about the local people, the parks we visited (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara). We also loved that we had an exclusive tour.
We enjoyed all the Parks we visited but the Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro were the best.
Our accommodation, Heart and Soul, was a good spot, we loved it. The staff were welcoming, we enjoyed the meals, the room was neat, great shower, the bed mattress could have been a little more thicker.
Because we were celebrating our 1st year anniversary ( which we communicated with Boris) Our room was set up with a suiting theme on arrival and the staff sang for us on our first night dinner and we were surprised with a cake they made for us.
We had a pleasure to meet Boris and his Akondo team at their offices in Arusha after our last safari.
It was a special moment for us, after having had 3 days of safari, to meet the team that made our experience in Tanzania a memorable one and to hear the story of their journey.
Lastly before we were taken to the airport for our flight back to Zanzibar and while this may have not been part of the normal tour routine. Our guide took us to a local food spot in Arusha where we had a taste of their local meal nyama choma naugali which is polenta and BBQ meat. It was special to us as we love to try local meals everywhere we travel to.
I will book with Akondo again, great service indeed. Thank you Boris and your team.

Helpful friendly tour operator
Boring arranged for our 3 day safari at Nyerere National Park. He planned a boat safari, a game drive, a bush walk and a Masai village visit and arranged transportation, hotels and meals from Dar es Salaam. We had English speaking guides throughout the trip and he even arranged a private fireside dinner for us on the second night. We highly recommend Akondo Adventures.

Great communication!
We went on a 3-day safari tour of the Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara parks travelling from Zanzibar. It was an amazing experience. Boris made the communication process very smooth so that we knew at all times where to go and what to do. Can highly recommend!
10/10 for the elephants
Me and my two friends decided to visit Tanzania. We wanted to go on safari to see the elephants and other wild animals. :)
It was our dream for a long time. In June 2024 we finally arrived in Tanzania. In Arusha the team of Akondo Adventures picked us up and our journey started. We went together to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw a lot of wild animals and beautiful landscapes. Our highlight was to see the elephants in their natural habitat. We recommend a safari with Akondo Adventures. It was a pleasure for us and we're sure it wasn't the last time, we visited beautiful Tanzania.

This was an excellent tour. I highly recommend it.
Booking this tour with Akondo Adventures was easy and seemless from beginning to end. Boris, our booking agent, covered everything in detail and was very responsive to any questions I had. He responded within minutes, sometimes seconds. Everything was flawless, from booking the lodge, the flight to and from Zanzibar, and the game drive. Our driver, Simon, was friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw the big five although I was not expecting to see any leopards or rhinos, but to my amazement we spotted both. Special thank you to Boris and Simon who went above and beyond to make our safari a memorable experience that we will never forget. I would definitely book with Akondo Adventures for our next safari.

great safari experience
Our group of friends had an unforgettable safari experience. Our guide Mbwana knew every possible road through the vast Serengeti and knew where to take us to make sure we saw every type of animals there in the park. The camps in the bush were all quite good with tasty food and basic but good facilities. Every day was an adventure. We had two small children in our group and Francis paid special care to make sure they were comfortable and happy. Our trip could not have gone better and we highly recommend this tour company and especially our guide Mbwana.

Amazing experience
Booking our dream Safari to Tanzania was such a pleasure thanks to all the hard work from Boris! We were in touch with little itinerary changes and she sorted them for us with absolutely no problem and with such a quick turnaround. Every part of the experience felt awesome, bespoke and extremely filled with expertise and knowledge. I would recommend working with Akondo Adventures to absolutely everyone!!
