Our home. Your Tanzania.

A little closer
to the real Tanzania.

We are Akondo Adventures. A local Tanzania team connecting wildlife, wilderness, mountain trails and island days with the people who come to discover them.

Serengeti National Park — Tanzania

Serengeti / Where the idea began

The story behind the journey

It began with
a feeling.

In 2019, a first visit to the Serengeti inspired an idea: to help other people experience the wonder of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.

That feeling became Akondo Adventures. Today, the team creates personal safaris, mountain adventures, beach holidays and cultural experiences, with thoughtfully chosen places to stay and a commitment to the communities and nature around us.

From our home in Arusha, we help bring the beautiful details together.

The Akondo difference

Personal, by nature.

Local knowledge. Thoughtful choices.
A journey made around you.
