Beyond exceptional – A flawless luxury honeymoon experience!
5/5

​I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from Akondo Adventures was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For our honeymoon, we did a 3-day tour covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.

​Boris, the owner, handles the organization with incredible precision and attention to detail. His pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. He took it upon himself to add some magical touches for our honeymoon, including a complete surprise—our wedding photo beautifully displayed on the back of our safari jeep! Boris is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury lodges he lined up for us were outstanding, and the staff at each property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.

​Then there was our guide, Richard, who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. He was waiting for us right at the airport with cold drinks and refreshments, setting the tone for the entire trip. Richard’s knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

​If you want a flawless, high-end, and deeply personal safari experience, Akondo Adventures is the gold standard. Thank you, Boris and Richard, for making our honeymoon unforgettable!

An unforgettable safari
5/5

Our safari experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of the entire time. The parks were breathtaking, and we were lucky to see so much wildlife — truly unforgettable moments.

Our Richard was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we had the best experience possible. Every detail, from the accommodations to the daily planning, exceeded our expectations.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an amazing safari adventure.

Thank you again for everything — we will definitely remember this forever!

A really nice and helpful operator, can only recommend!
5/5

We booked a 2-day safari during the low season, including one night at the Escarpment Lodge. We were really lucky with the weather—every time we arrived at the park, the rain stopped. For the low season, we actually saw a lot of animals.
The lodge was breathtaking. We were upgraded to the Executive Suite, had a private pool, a bathtub in the room, and an unforgettable dinner. At the end of the evening, they even sang for me and brought me a birthday cake. It was a bit embarrassing, but still a very nice gesture. The service was flawless—absolutely 10/10.
Back to the safari: Richard was our guide. We had originally been promised a German-speaking guide, which we didn’t get, but Richard was absolutely excellent. He is very knowledgeable and shares lots of interesting little details. The two days with him were truly enjoyable, and overall we had an unforgettable experience despite it being the low season.

Richard is the best guide
5/5

We booked a safari with Akondo Safari’s, which was well organized, but what truly made our trip unforgettable was our tour guide, Richard. He is not only incredibly experienced but also friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Richard went above and beyond to ensure we saw as many animals as possible, and thanks to his keen eye and knowledge, we had an unforgettable experience.

What really sets him apart is his combination of expertise and enthusiasm. He shared fascinating facts about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, making the safari both fun and educational. On top of that, he made the journey incredibly enjoyable with his stories and warm personality.

In short: if you want a safari where you get the most out of your day, Richard is the guide to choose. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Magnificent
5/5

Our two-day safari with Akondo Adventures was flawlessly organized and exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Boris handled all the details — transportation, flights, and lodging — with incredible efficiency. Everything was clearly arranged and communicated before we even arrived, making the entire experience completely stress-free.

Our guide, David, was absolutely outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw the Big Five and so much more, and his skill behind the wheel was unmatched across every type of terrain. His deep knowledge of wildlife, the environment, and animal behavior truly enhanced the safari and made each sighting even more meaningful.

If you’re looking for a well-organized, expertly coordinated safari adventure with exceptional guides, Akondo Adventures is the company to book. Highly, highly recommended!

Great organisation. Excellent guides
5/5

Akondo adventures organised a trip to Gombe National Park for me including air travel from Dar es Salaam. Omari was a great guide not only did he look after accommodation but he knew all about the chimps, knew their family tree and could identify individuals. He also identified birds and other monkey species. We went kayaking and swimming together. He was always enthusiastic. A great guide. Thanks

Amazing private safari
5/5

We went on a wonderful three-day private safari in Tanzania, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara with Richard. He was an excellent, knowledgeable, and helpful guide. The jeep was very comfortable and clean, with drinks provided. We saw so many animals. I recommend Akondo Adventures to everyone. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Super reliable, created a tailor made plan with an amazing guide. Reccomend!
5/5

Great safari, we were a couple we had four days Safari with Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater and on the fourth day we had a trip to Materuni waterfall and coffee plantation. I would suggest sticking to Serengeti and Ngorogoro if you are short on time but if you have a bit more time than this is a perfect plan. Our guide Richard was amazing. He was a super good driver. He knew all about the animal, spoke very good English also spoke other languages,was very friendly, flexible, knew a lot of facts and was very experienced ,knew all the spots where the animals are and knew all the guides so he was a real expert- really recommend! Amazing experience, beautiful accommodations- especially the Serengeti Heaven Lodge. Really recommend, you cannot go wrong with a AKONDO

Truly Amazing Experience
5/5


We had the most amazing experience with Akondo Adventures from start to finish. Everything was organised seamlessly, including our 3-day, 2-night safari, and the attention to detail throughout was exceptional.

The safari itself exceeded every expectation. From flying into the reserve on a small plane to staying in a beautiful, peaceful lodge, the whole experience felt exclusive and completely non-touristy. At times it genuinely felt like we were the only people there.

The wildlife was extraordinary. We saw so many animals, including lions, giraffes and elephants, often at very close range, and never felt rushed or surrounded by other vehicles. Every game drive felt thoughtful, calm and incredibly special.

Akondo Adventures truly understands how to create an authentic safari experience rather than a mass-market one. It was beautifully curated, personal and unforgettable from beginning to end. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would absolutely use them again.
