Truly Unforgettable
My wife and I recently completed an incredible 11-day safari adventure in Tanzania with Akondo Adventures, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
From the very beginning, Philip was an outstanding travel agent. He was responsive, professional, and helped create an itinerary that made our anniversary trip truly unforgettable. His attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything went smoothly gave us confidence throughout the entire planning process.
Our safari guide, Richard, was absolutely exceptional. His passion for wildlife and love for his job were evident every single day. We were amazed by his knowledge of the animals we viewed throughout the trip. Most importantly, he was determined to help us achieve our bucket-list goal of seeing the Big Five, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we successfully saw all of the big five! Richard’s experience gave up incredible viewing opportunities made the safari experience even more special.
We also experienced an unexpected challenge when our luggage was delayed and didn’t arrive until two days after we landed. Thankfully, our transfer driver Ezekiel was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. What could have been a stressful situation became much easier to manage because of his caring attitude and willingness to assist us every step of the way.
The entire Akondo Adventures team went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. From the planning stage to the final day of our trip, we felt genuinely cared for and well taken care of. We highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget!

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Adventure with Akondo Adventures
My husband and I recently completed an incredible Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach vacation with Akondo Adventures in June 2026, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we started planning until the day we flew home, everything was seamless, professional, and unforgettable.
A huge thank you to Philip, our travel agent, who was incredibly responsive throughout the entire booking process. Despite the time difference between California and Tanzania, he always replied quickly, answered every question thoroughly, and even helped with last-minute packing questions just days before departure. His excellent communication gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by our transfer driver, Ezekiel, who made us feel welcome immediately. He was friendly, punctual, and ensured every transfer was smooth and comfortable.
Our safari guide, Richard, was truly exceptional and played a huge role in making this trip so memorable. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, local culture, and animal behavior was remarkable. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from great distances and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for viewing and photography. Thanks to Richard, we enjoyed unforgettable game drives and incredible wildlife encounters throughout our journey.
The itinerary itself was perfectly designed, combining some of Tanzania's most iconic safari destinations with a relaxing beach getaway in Zanzibar. We experienced the beauty of Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before ending our adventure on the stunning beaches of Zanzibar. It was the perfect balance of excitement, wildlife, scenery, and relaxation.
The accommodations throughout the trip were excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. We never had to worry about logistics, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience and focus on creating lifelong memories.
What stood out most was Akondo Adventures' attention to detail and genuine commitment to providing exceptional service. Every aspect of the trip felt personalized, organized, and stress-free.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Akondo Adventures. Thank you, Philip, Ezekiel, and Richard, for giving us the trip of a lifetime. We returned home with unforgettable memories, amazing photographs, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Tanzania. We would not hesitate to travel with Akondo Adventures again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars all around!

A Truly Personal Experience in Tanzania.
I heard of this company after getting a good word from the only member of my extended family who's ever traveled to Africa. They had a wonderful experience with Tanzania Explorer, and with so many companies and questions when trying to plan these massive vacations, I chose to go with a known company.
I am so glad I did. From the very beginning, the process was incredibly transparent and customizable to fit our desires, needs, and comfort. After the initial draft itinerary, we were given ample opportunity to make changes, offer suggestions, and consider all the options in front of us to make sure we left Africa satisfied.
While in Tanzania, all the staff was so accommodating, communicative, and fun to be around. No stone was left unturned to ensure our experience was the best it could be.
I ended up having a health scare while in Zanzibar. And Tanzania Explorer was there every step of the way checking in on me (both in person at the hospital and over messages constantly) and ensuring I felt safe, comfortable, and that I was going to be on my feet as soon as possible. The warmth they showed me, along with the staff of the hotel I stayed at which partners closely with Tanzania Explorer, is something I'll never forget.
If you want to really customize your trip, have fun on these long game drives, and feel the kindness of Africa, go with these guys!

Edward and Harrison are both extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the local Kenyan wildlife
10/10 experience with Edward and Harrison from Peaks & Safaris! They have loads of knowledge to share about the animals, clearly love the wildlife, and are a blast to go on game drives with! They always managed to get us the very best experiences (i.e. leopard hunting a thomson’s gazelle) and know how to get you the best angle for fantastic photos. They also made sure we were taken care of from the moment we landed in Kenya to the moment we were heading back home - so we never felt unsure of what was going on or where we needed to be. The absolute best guides!

An unforgettable Uganda adventure with gorillas and chimpanzees
We had an amazing experience in Uganda thanks to Beyond travel . Everything was very well organized from start to finish, making our trip completely stress-free.
We enjoyed chimpanzee tracking, gorilla trekking, and a half-day game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Each activity was unique and unforgettable specially Seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, while the chimpanzee tracking was equally exciting and rewarding.
Our guide was professional and arrangeant. The entire trip exceeded our expectations.

Incredible
I booked my safari trip solely based on SafariBooking.com reviews and recommendations from previous guests. To be honest, I was a little hesitant at first because it was my first time visiting South Africa and I didn’t know what to expect.
However, everything turned out wonderfully. The entire safari itinerary ran smoothly from start to finish. Although there was a small misunderstanding at the beginning, the SafariLink SA team responded immediately and handled it professionally. Their customer service exceeded my expectations.
What impressed me most was their flexibility in creating a customized trip. When I mentioned that I wanted to experience different safari lodges, they managed to arrange stays at two different lodges seamlessly, without causing me any inconvenience at all. I honestly don’t think I could have received such personalized service elsewhere.
Every member of the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. From the safari guides and drivers to the administrative staff, everyone went above and beyond to ensure I had an enjoyable experience.
A special thank you to Pednely, who picked me up in Johannesburg and shared so many interesting stories and insights about South Africa during the journey. Thank you also to Gustav, my safari guide, whose enthusiasm and extensive knowledge about wildlife made every game drive fascinating and memorable. Clement was incredibly kind and always made sure we were comfortable throughout the safari. And a huge thank you to Nebuloh, who was always available whenever I needed assistance. No matter the time of day, my messages were answered promptly. and last but not least, thankyou Tiyani for safely driving us back to airport.
The level of service provided by SafariLink SA was truly exceptional. Their dedication, responsiveness, and attention to detail made my first safari experience in South Africa unforgettable.

Absolutely fantastic!!
Every part of this experience as incredible and could not have been easier or gone more smoothly. From fantastic contact and communication regarding all details, to a speedy pick up and driving with King David as we now call him every part has been incredible. The safari itself was obviously exceptional, definitely a once in a lifetime experience and we were lucky enough to see the big 5! David had so much knowledge on all of the animals we saw even tiny ones we didn’t expect to see. The transport was so comfortable, drinks kept ice cold with a little on board fridge, snacks provided as well, the lunch we had on both days was also amazing! On the first day of our safari we had an entire spread of cooked food that I must say was even better than the dinner buffet in the safari lodge. I could go on but I have so many positive things to say I would be here for hours! I wish I could give them 10 stars!!!
