Wonderful safari experience
We hired a 2 days safari between Serengeti and ngorongoro crater ! Boris from Akondo adventures was very supportive and reliable throughout the planning process and during the actual safari via phone! The services provided throughout the safari trip( safari cars, refreshments, lunches and dinners) were all up to the expectation ! We managed to see so many animals and our drivers really worked hard to provide us the most of our of drive through the parks and knew what they were doing ! The hotel was spectacular and really great value for money ! There were some setbacks about the communication in relation to our flights on the second day, however Boris and team made sure to help us in adjusting the bookings and our taxi in Zanzibar airport on our way back even though it was a big delay by the airline! Overall we were a satisfied group of 10 customers, we had a blast and we recommend Akondo adventures

Amazing safari
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!!!

He was very accommodating to our needs, punctual, organized and informative
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!

Akondo Adventures: A Perfectly Crafted Safari Experience
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!

Excellent, innovative tour operator agency with amazing staff and very organzied!
Akondo Adventures is more a new agency in the wide sea of agencies here in Arusha. When my husband and myself decided to do a Safari in Tanzania (we first stayed a few days in Zanzibar) I was overwhelmed with agencies offering exactly the same tours. We have asked for 3 offers on Safaribooking.com from three different agencies. As it was our first Safari we just wanted to do a 3-day Safari and see as many different regions as possible hence we have chosen the Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Manyara Lake Safari. We received three different offers from three different agencies, I have chosen some more expensive once and some more affordable once. Why we have chosen Akondo adventures was the value of money, the stay during the Safari and the well organized and clear planning. The PDF offer was well done and very clear. Obviously I started to check the reviews about Akondo Adventures at I only could read positive feedbacks especially of Richard our personal guide to be. Anyways for me it was clear that I will go with that Agency as Boris (the owner) was assisting us just brilliantly. The payment was done over Bank transfer which we first were not sure about either but everything was legit. Boris sent us all the flight tickets and everything we needed for our tour. Boris also arranged all wake up and pick up timings from the place we stayed in Zanzibar and made sure we are awake for our trip to Arusha. Everything was well organized from A to B, well done Boris! All the people which took care of us were just warm and caring! Anyways we arrived in Arusha (our flight with Flightlink was a very good flight!!) Boris then welcomed us in Arusha, explained to us how the next three days will look like and handed us over to our guide Richard. What a lovely guy, lots of knowledge, 13years plus as guide in all the parks around Tanzania! What a gem! And he even speaks Spanish and some words in German (my husband is Spanish speaker and myself German speaker). We started in Tarangire Park which we basically have seen all the animals we wanted to see followed by a drive closer to Ngorongoro to our lodge which by the was was just fantastic! That lodge has several chalets (super big!) which you have one for your own just out in the nature looking towards the lake Manyara! Stunning! The staff were just brilliantly beautiful to us! Next day we visited the Crater which was the best day of all three as it was just so beautiful and we even have seen the Rhino! Which is very difficult to see at the moment. Next day we were at lake Manyara which was just beautiful as well! Everything was just mind blowing for us hence the long review for them. Thank you for making these three days unforgettable! Richard, thanks a lot for all your wisdom and knowledge sharing (super cool guide, very you g for his expertise and experience!). Thank you Boris for being so flexible and patient! Tanzania we will be back! ❤️🇹🇿🇹🇿

AKONDO ADVENTURES Safari trip of a lifetime to Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara
AKONDO ADVENTURES are simply the best!!
Words are not enough to sum up the truly amazing adventure that we have been on - but I will try!!
We are from U.K. and booked online a last minute 3 day adventure to Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Manyara.
Boris booked us our dream itinerary at a very competitive price. It was a luxury private tour and I would advise everyone to book with him and his company. He is totally honest and professional. He arranged our whole trip from pick up at our Zanzibar hotel, flights to Arusha and met and welcomed us at Arusha Airport.
Our guide Richard was AMAZING. He was such a nice local guy and gave us the trip of a lifetime. Nothing was too much trouble, he was knowledgeable on everything we asked him and he was always happy 😊
In summary we would love to return another year and book a Serengeti tour and will 100% book this with Boris, Richard and AKONDO ADVENTURES.
Don’t search anymore- BOOK IT NOW!!🐘🐆🦒🦁

Excellent organizer. Personalised tour.
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.
They are very professional and good at what they do
I have done many researches before booking with them. After the adventure is finished I made sure it was the best choice. Very supportive and nice people.
