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

An unforgettable Safari !
What can I say about this fantastic adventure organized by Akondo Adventures!
A perfect organization, full support from our hotel in Zanzibar until our return to it, accommodation in unimaginable lodges, a very experienced guide, knowing all the parks to perfection, he allowed us, in three days, to approach as closely as possible, all the animals and especially the Big Five which are difficult to spot.
We wanted an unforgettable Safari ... we did it with Akondo Adventures!
Thank you Boris !!!
Best Experience ever with Akondo Adventures!
One day before the safari started, I asked Akondo Adventures about the tour, at around 2 p.m.
From Zanzibar we had a 2-day safari in Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the airport. Then we flew to Arusha. Our guide and Boris were already waiting for us. On the first day we went to Tarangire National Park. There we saw most of the animals. Elephants, giraffes, baboons, ostriches, wildebeests, antelopes, zebras, warthogs and even a leopard - sleeping on a baobab tree!
At the end of the day we spent the night in a beautiful, luxurious lodge near Lake Manyara.
On the second day, the Ngorongoro Crater was on the agenda. The way there was very foggy. First we visited a Masai village. It was quite cold there early in the morning. Then we went into the crater. . We saw the large lake with its alkaline water. In addition to the day before, we finally saw the lions, several times. There were also flamingos, hippos and buffalo.
At the end we went back to the airport, where we saw Boris again.
Boris managed the whole trip very well and was responsive to our wishes and needs. And all this despite the fact that we had booked the tour one day before! We can recommend everyone to book a tour with Akondo Adventures.

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.
