Akorn Destination Management is the world's most comprehensive network of high-quality DMCs.Founded in Kenya in 1962, Akorn has been a pioneer of luxury safaris in East Africa. Today their operations have expanded to a network of over 55 offices and 2,500 employees on the ground in more than 30 countries. Yet, while Akorn has grown and diversified, they have remained true to its core philosophies: uncompromising service and inspiring travel experiences.
A deep-rooted concern for responsible travel infuses each and every Akorn-organised journey. For more than 25 years, we have worked passionately to ensure that the people and wildlife whose lands we visit continue to survive and coexist successfully.
From the first project in 1982 to raise funds for conservation efforts in Kenya’s Masai Mara, to more recently providing essential assistance to the people of Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Delta after the area was devastated by Cyclone Nargis – Akorn is committed to supporting social and environmental projects on a global scale.
With offices in over 25 countries, we are able to work in conjunction with local experts to actively sponsor proven grassroots projects that benefit local communities and habitats, as well as offer Akorn agents and their clients the opportunity to become involved in these efforts.
Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
