Memories for life
We chose to go on safari with Top Selected and our guide John for our honeymoon and couldn’t be happier. We saw more animals than we could have dreamt of (including the Big Five), and thanks to John’s knowledge and expertise we always had the best view. He was incredibly knowledgeable, making every sighting even more fascinating. The food and accommodation were also very, very good. Higly recommend!

An Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our 5-day private safari with Akondo Adventures was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded all our expectations.
From the very beginning, the communication and planning were outstanding. The team always responded quickly, was incredibly friendly, and took all of our wishes into account. Our safari was completely customized to our preferences, and everything was organized perfectly.
We spent one day in Tarangire National Park, one day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and three days in the Serengeti. Our guide was exceptional – knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about his work. He answered every question we had, shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and nature, and always adapted the experience to our interests. Thanks to him, we had countless incredible wildlife sightings.
One of the biggest surprises was that a photographer accompanied us during the safari. We had no idea this was included. He captured beautiful photos of both the wildlife and us throughout the trip and is even creating a documentary-style video from the footage and photos. This was such a special and unexpected addition to our experience.
The accommodations were outstanding. Every lodge and camp was beautiful, comfortable, and of very high quality. One of our lodges even had a private pool, which was an amazing surprise. The food throughout the safari was excellent, and the staff at every accommodation made us feel genuinely welcome.
Another unforgettable highlight was a day in an open safari vehicle that was specially arranged for us. This was never mentioned beforehand and was an incredible surprise. It made the wildlife experience even more immersive and exciting. On that day, the photographer even traveled in a separate vehicle with his own driver to capture photos of us while we were out on safari – a level of service we never expected.
We also enjoyed a bush lunch right in the middle of the wilderness, another wonderful surprise that became one of our favorite memories from the trip.
Just two days before arriving, we decided to book a hot air balloon safari. Despite the short notice, Akondo organized everything seamlessly. The coordination was perfect, and the balloon safari itself was worth every penny. It was one of the most breathtaking experiences we have ever had and is something we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Serengeti.
We would also like to give special thanks to the owner of Akondo Adventures. He personally welcomed us at the beginning of our safari and even came to the airport on our final day to say goodbye and ask for feedback. This level of personal care and dedication is incredibly rare and left a lasting impression on us.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt completely taken care of. Everything was professional, smooth, and perfectly organized, while still feeling warm, personal, and authentic.
Thank you to everyone at Akondo Adventures for creating such an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend this company highly enough and would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.
Thuba was very helpful and knowledgeable.
Thuba was an outstanding guide at Victoria Falls. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer all of our questions. His passion for the area and its history made the experience even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great visit, pointing out the best viewpoints and sharing interesting facts throughout the tour. I highly recommend Thuba to anyone visiting Victoria Falls!

It was very good organized and we felt very appreciated.
When we booked our safari tour, we had many questions, but we could clear every open question per whats app. We got a complimentary accomodation before our safari started, a complimentary transfer to the hotel after the safari and a complimentary transfer from our accomodation to the airport. In addition we received tshirts and some other gifts. We also got as much briefings for the safari as we wanted, so we really knew what will happen during the safari. We felt like special guests and are very happy with the organization and the services we received. I also want to mention, that we liked the personal contact with the company as soon as we were in arusha, we felt very safe.

It was just perfect
I can’t imagine a better tour honestly. 6 safari cars of my friends. I’ve never seen animals so close, it was my dream to see baby animals. We were lucky to see all the animals!
The food was actually good, and the accommodation was great, clean and cozy.
I’d love to come back

An Unforgettable Family Safari in Kenya – May 2026
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Eric and his team in Kenya in May 2026. Together with my family, we visited five different national parks, and every single day exceeded our expectations.
Eric speaks perfect Spanish, which made communication effortless, and throughout the entire trip he was exceptionally kind, professional, reliable, and attentive to every detail. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture greatly enriched our experience.
The organization was flawless, the accommodations were excellent, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. Seeing so many amazing animals in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
These were some of the most memorable days of our lives, and my family will never forget this adventure. We are deeply grateful to Eric for making our dream safari a reality.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend Eric highly enough. He is passionate about what he does and goes above and beyond to ensure an exceptional experience. Five stars without hesitation!

Proper Safari Experience
We have just come back from safari where part of it was with Drumbeat Safari. I think this was my favourite part as was right in the heart of things. We stayed in a tent which had a fabulous bed and we had our own ensuite bathroom, be it a drop toilet and bucket shower. We had everything we needed. Our Guide Salani was amazing, he just instinctively knew where the wildlife was hiding and he drove thoughtfully and pointed out numerous animals and birds and gave us so many special moments.
Annalise, our host was so thoughtful and warm and welcoming and great company. The food which was prepared by Honor was very good and varied and plenty of it. Freshly baked bread every day which is no mean feat when camping. Jimmy was on hand to lay the fire the table and bring hot water for our shower and hot water bottle for the early morning safari. I don`t think I saw him stop smiling. I loved having breakfast around the campfire on a morning and again sitting on an evening chatting and finding out about local life and the wildlife. We had a hyena wander through camp one night and borrow a sandal which was left out but thankfully we got it back. The lions, elephants and hyenas etc were a bit noisy sometimes at night but I loved looking out of the tent if I woke up to see if I could see any animals wandering through.
I would definately recommend Drumbeat as they were all so friendly, happy and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I loved it!

Amazing from start to end
We had an amazing experience with Said. This was my second safari with him, and both trips were exceptional.
On our most recent visit, I travelled with my two children, aged 11 and 15, and from the moment we arrived, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Said organised everything for us, including booking our lodges, recommending hotels, and arranging all airport transfers. His attention to detail made the whole trip completely stress-free.
We had a private safari jeep throughout the trip, which made the experience even more special. Said worked incredibly hard to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, and thanks to him we were lucky enough to see a huge variety of animals.
Most importantly, we felt safe, well looked after, and genuinely cared for at all times. Said is professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable safari experience.
I would highly recommend Said to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. We wouldn't hesitate to travel with him again.

Great day trip with great guides and wildlife sightings
I had a great experience with Visit Creation Safaris in Arusha National Park. Everything was well organized and communication was easy from the start.
Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we got the most out of the day. We saw plenty of wildlife, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and never felt rushed. The park is incredible.
It was a memorable experience and I would definitely recommend Visit Creation Safaris to anyone.
