 Verified Great safari
David is a great guide. He was excellent to figure out which direction the animals were moving so we always had the best spot.

 Verified Very good experience!
Great experience! Very professional and accessible during the preparation, and everything went according to planned. The accommodations were very comfortable. The only criticism is that the food during lunch was not very good - perhaps more variety and asking us what would be our preferences. Also the guide, while very kind and trustworthy, got a little too comfortable and unprofessional through the end of the tour - but a very good guide, in the majority of the safari. All in all, great experience and would recommend it.

 Verified Our Unforgettable Tanzania Honeymoon with Akondo Adventures! 🇹🇿❤️
My wife Melissa and I recently travelled to Tanzania for our honeymoon, combining an incredible safari experience with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar. Looking back, we can honestly say that this was an amazing experience, and we are so grateful to Akondo Adventures for helping make our honeymoon so special! Booking and Organisation – Tassiana ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked our trip through Akondo and communicated with Tassiana throughout the planning process. From the very beginning to the end of our trip, she was incredibly responsive, helpful and attentive. She essentially arranged our entire honeymoon, including both the safari and our resort stay in Zanzibar. Having someone who was willing to help organise everything made the experience much easier, and we really appreciated her support. Thank you, Tassiana, for helping us put together such a wonderful honeymoon! Our Safari Adventure Begins – Tarangire National Park 🐘 After spending our first night at Forest Hill Hotel, we headed to Tarangire National Park the following morning. We were picked up at around 8 a.m. and had some food that had been prepared for us before setting off. The drive wasn’t too long, and we spent much of the journey getting to know our fantastic guide, Julius, while enjoying the scenery and stopping at various viewpoints. Once we arrived at Tarangire, the experience was simply awesome! Melissa and I had a wonderful time seeing the animals in their natural habitat. It was the perfect introduction to our safari adventure, and we were already excited about what the coming days would bring. A quick note about Forest Hill Hotel: unfortunately, this wasn’t one of the highlights of our trip. We weren’t particularly impressed with the food, and we found the repeated expectations for tips a little uncomfortable. We were more than happy to tip people for good service, but we prefer tipping to feel voluntary rather than expected. Best View Hotel We spent the night at Best View Hotel, which certainly offered some fantastic views. However, while the scenery was lovely, the overall stay wasn’t among our favourites. Once again, the food could have been better, and cold chicken wasn’t particularly appealing! We also experienced similar expectations around tipping. To be clear, we completely understand the importance of tipping and were happy to give generously throughout our holiday. It was simply the feeling of being watched or waited on for a tip that occasionally made things uncomfortable. Ngorongoro Crater – Another Incredible Day 🦁🦏 The following day, we visited Ngorongoro Crater, and what an experience it was! We were fortunate enough to see lions, rhinos, flamingos and so much more. The scenery was breathtaking, and being able to witness such a variety of wildlife in one place was truly special. We didn’t spend the entire day in the crater, as we felt we’d seen a fantastic range of animals and were ready to continue our journey towards the Serengeti. Serengeti National Park – The Highlight of Our Honeymoon! 🐆❤️ After a long drive, we finally made our way to the Serengeti, and this is where our safari experience went from amazing to absolutely unforgettable! First, we stayed at Moyo Tented Camp for two nights, and the staff here deserve a massive shout-out. Their warmth, hospitality and genuine friendliness made such a difference to our experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. A special mention must go to Emmanuel, who was an absolute star! He helped make our stay memorable, and I genuinely wish him nothing but blessings and success in the future. One of the loveliest moments was when the staff sang to us as we left on our final morning. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a beautiful way to end our stay. Moments like that remind you that it’s not just the places you visit, but also the people you meet along the way who make a holiday truly special. And then came our big day in the Serengeti! Julius, our safari guide, was absolutely magnificent. I honestly never imagined that we would get so close to some of Africa’s most incredible animals. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards and lionesses with their families, all in their natural environment. And when I say close, I mean CLOSE! 😂 Julius had an incredible ability to find the animals and position us where we could observe them properly. He made us feel like genuine explorers, out in the wild, experiencing nature in a way that neither Melissa nor I will ever forget. There is something truly special about seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat rather than simply watching them on television. Those moments are difficult to put into words, and we have memories from that day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you are considering booking with Akondo Adventures, I would wholeheartedly recommend asking for Julius as your guide. His knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to make the experience so special were second to none. Melissa agrees with me entirely! 😊 Our final day involved travelling back through the Serengeti towards Arusha to catch our flights. Although we had to keep an eye on the time, we still managed to see even more wildlife along the way, giving us one last taste of the incredible experience we’d had. A Few Tips for Future Travellers 🚙 If you’re planning a Tanzanian safari, here are a couple of things worth knowing: * Prepare for a bumpy ride! The roads can be rough, and the journeys between parks can be long. * Bring a face mask or face covering. The dust can be intense, particularly when travelling along the safari roads. * Keep an open mind. Every accommodation experience is different, but the wildlife, scenery and people you meet can make the journey incredibly rewarding. * Budget for tips. We were happy to tip throughout our trip, but it’s worth being prepared for tipping expectations at some locations. Zanzibar – The Perfect Way to Finish Our Honeymoon 🌴☀️ After the excitement of our safari, Melissa and I headed to Tembo Kiwengwa Resort in Zanzibar to relax and enjoy the final part of our honeymoon. The resort was beautiful and provided a lovely change of pace after our adventures on the mainland. We were able to unwind, enjoy our surroundings and spend some much-needed quality time together as newlyweds. I’ve written a separate review of the resort on Tripadvisor, so I won’t go into too much detail here, but it was a wonderful way to round off our trip. Final Thoughts – Would We Recommend Akondo Adventures? Absolutely! ❤️ Without hesitation, we would recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone considering a Tanzanian safari and Zanzibar holiday. From the organisation and communication with Tassiana to the incredible wildlife experiences with Julius and the outstanding hospitality at Moyo Tented Camp, our honeymoon gave us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. There were a few aspects of the accommodation and tipping expectations that we felt could have been better, but these did not take away from the incredible experiences we had overall. Most importantly, Melissa and I travelled to Tanzania hoping to have a special honeymoon, and we came away with something even better: unforgettable adventures, incredible wildlife encounters and memories that we will be talking about for years to come. A massive thank you to Tassiana, Julius, Emmanuel and everyone at Akondo Adventures and Moyo Tented Camp who helped make our honeymoon so special. We are incredibly grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Thank you for helping make the beginning of our married life together so memorable. ❤️🇹🇿

 Verified A phenomenal experience - highly recommend
A phenomenal trip with Akondo Adventures. I highly recommend this company. Liaising with Boris to book the trip was so easy. He was so responsive and answered all of my questions. A very trustworthy company. I ended up booking very late but Boris was so helpful and went above and beyond to get our trip booked and arranged. Our guide - Julius, was exceptional. We wished we had more time with him. His knowledge of the animals, his eye for finding them and his kind nature. He looked after us and our son to make sure we were happy throughout the safari. He was fantastic and he really made our trip magical and special. He answered all our questions and we learnt so much from Julius. He is a credit to the Akondo team. He made sure he got us to see the Big Five! Thank you Julius! I really hope to be able to visit again in the future with Julius and Akondo. Thank you

We had an amazing safari experience with Akondo Adventures, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Zuberi.

His professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and passion made the whole experience truly special. He was always helpful, friendly, and happy to share his knowledge about the wildlife and nature. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire safari.

My wife and I were very happy to have Zuberi as our guide. He made our safari unforgettable, and we would definitely choose him again if we decide to go on another safari in the future.

We highly recommend Zuberi and Akondo Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. Thank you, Zuberi, for everything!
