Big 5 in 3 days!
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.

Fantastic trip, only bettered by the service!
From the outset of the booking process and throughout, Boris was incredibly attentive and helpful. Boris was very responsive and helpful in providing additional details and information, allowing my girlfriend and I to pick an option which was best suited to what we needed.
Our trip involved flying from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, which involved the organisation of transfers from our hotel, flights, pick up and of course accommodation. The whole trip ran perfectly. There were no issues at any point and there was always someone waiting for us. Additionally, Boris was incredibly attentive throughout our trip to make sure things were running smoothly.
Our guide for the safari was fantastic. He had been working in the Serengeti for several years and his understanding of the National Park, its animals etc was fantastic. He was very friendly, and was always looking to try and find as many animals as possible, which resulted in us being able to see all the Big 5 and their cubs as well as a number of other fantastic animals.
We also booked the Balloon Safari experience through Akondo. Given we booked this very last minute, I have to commend Boris for how helpful he was in helping us book the experience, which was truly a once in a lifetime event.
On the whole our Safari trip was incredible and the highlight of our holiday. Boris and Akondo were incredible in organising such a trip, but also in how they looked after myself and my girlfriend from start to finish. I would highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone looking for a similar trip.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with A Personal Touch
We recently went on a 4-day safari with Akondo Adventures, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very start, Boris, the owner, was extremely responsive and quick with his answers. He addressed all of our questions clearly and to the point. What really stood out was the personal touch—Boris took the time to meet us in person both when we arrived and before we set off for our safari, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel really welcomed.
Our guide, Rich (Richard) was amazing. He was always in a great mood, making sure we had everything we needed and asking lots of questions about what we wanted to see or experience. He was incredibly patient, never rushed us, and took his time to ensure we had the best possible experience. On top of that, his knowledge about the animals and parks was impressive, and he gave us valuable insights not only about the wildlife but also about life in Tanzania. Richard also had an incredible eye for spotting animals—even while driving, he knew where to look and spotted many animals for us. Thanks to him, we saw really a lot of what the wildlife in Serengeti and the other parks can offer!
Akondo Adventures was very well-organized, responsive, and well-prepared from start to finish. If you’re looking for a safari experience that combines professionalism with a personal, friendly touch, I can highly recommend them!

Incredible memories!
When I started planning a safari for my wife, our 7 year old son and me, I requested quotes from several companies. Boris from Akondo Adventures contacted me shortly to discuss our wishes and best options available and define a plan that best suited our dreams and at a very reasonable price. His patience and honesty conviced us to trust him. And when our flight got distrupted and we arrived a day late and without our luggage, he proved us right as he adapted the plans, even the pick-up location, to avoid us loosing all the investment, and even supported us to get our missing luggage.
Our guide Richard was great, thanks to his extensive knowledge of wildlife and instinct, we were able to see 4 out of the big 5 closeby, and many other animals. His communicative hapiness made our trip even more enjoyable. He even played with our son whenever he had a chance.
We leave with incredible memories if a dream come true. Heartful thanks Boris and Richard for this incredible adventure!

An Unforgettable Journey with Akondo in Tanzania
I had an incredible experience in Tanzania this October, witnessing the majestic wildlife and the awe-inspiring Great Migration. Akondo Travel Agency served as our local guide, exceeding our expectations in every way. Everything was flawlessly organised From start to finish, and we felt well taken care of throughout the journey.
One of our trip's highlights was celebrating a friend's birthday during the safari. Akondo went the extra mile by arranging a surprise cake and singing the birthday song, making it an unforgettable and heartwarming moment.
The team's attention to detail, their professionalism, and the genuine care they showed for us made this adventure one of the best I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Akondo Travel Agency enough for anyone looking to explore Tanzania’s wonders. Thank you, Akondo, for an unforgettable journey!
And Africa is great! People are passionate and lovely.

Their boss Boris is really friendly and professional.
This is a new company established soon, so the service is done in detail, we use the car all the way to compare the other is also the top, the most important thing is to pay the full amount of money in advance there is no volume running (Red Book a lot of hard life users were pit [捂脸] ), their boss Boris is actively exploring the market, so it will be more friendly to tourists.

AMAZING SAFARI!!!!!!
We just got back from an amazing 3-day fly-in fly-out safari with Okondo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Everything was so well-organized from start to finish. The pickups to and from our hotels in Zanzibar were perfectly on time, and the flights to and from Arusha went smoothly.
Our guide, MGonja, deserves a big shoutout – he went above and beyond to make sure we saw the best wildlife. He shared so much knowledge about the animals, parks, and local culture, which made the trip even more special.
We saw lions in action, a rhino from afar, tons of wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, and even a massive herd of elephants that crossed the road just half a meter from our jeep! We also got up close to many giraffes – absolutely unforgettable. The jeep was super comfortable, which made the long days in the parks even more enjoyable.
We stayed at a beautiful lodge overlooking Lake Manyara, the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. Boris, our agent, was incredibly professional and ensured everything ran smoothly – and he even surprised us with a thoughtful present at the end of our trip! If you’re looking for an incredible safari experience, we highly recommend Okondo. Thanks again to MGonja for making it so special!

Amazing
Boris choice of lodges were amazing, truly beautiful places. The accommodations at Escarpment Luxury and Serengeti Serena Lodge were impeccable, both highly spacious and luxurious. The food, service, and staff were all top-notch and there was never anything that was too much to ask. The game viewing at both lodges surpassed our expectations. A difficult trip made easy, a seamless booking experience. I will be booking my next safari with Akondo Adventures.

This company met and exceeded my expectations, I can only recommend it, you can’t go wron
We had an amazing experience with Acondo Adventures, we did a 3 day safari from Zanzibar. Everything was well organized and accurate, the plane was on time, the driver was always waiting for us earlier than agreed, the vehicle was always clean, a refrigerator with water, beer, wine and juices was always available in the car... Every day we had a real lunch in nature, not only sandwiches, as I have seen at some other companies. I have no complaints about the whole trip. The accommodation they organized for us was like in a fairy tale, a true oasis far from the main road where one can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature and a beautiful sunset. The food was like in the best restaurants, one of the best lambs I have ever eaten. Our driver Julius made a special effort to see the big 5, he fulfilled all our wishes and brought us closer to the animal world of Tanzania. All recommendations for this company and I wish them to maintain this standard in the future
