3 day Safari from zanzibar
We went on a 3 day, 2 night safari from Zanzibar. First of all the communication with the Organisator was very very good! He wrote us in advance to make sure we are aware of everything for our trip and also on a daily basis to check on us! We felt very safe all the time due to their organisation of our trip. We had a pretty early flight from Zanzibar to Arusha and after a short wait we met with our driver Jeff and drove to tarangire Nationalpark with four other people. We had a great long day of safari there with drinks and lunch included. Then we returned to our accommodation where we first got a room in which we absolutely did not want to sleep in.., we complained to the organisation and got a new room still not very hygienic but that seemed more like a budget lodge as we booked. The next day we started early to go ngorongoro crater and had the best day there, we would definitely recommend going there! After another day of safari we went on the way back to the accommodation which took a while but that was ok. At the next day it was only us two going to lake manyara, very short ride there but this national park didn’t really convinced us because the animals we were looking forward to see weren’t showing but that has nothing to do with the organisation just nature! Then we made some stops at different shops and Jeff drove us to places we asked him to, which was very nice of him. In general the driver was very very friendly, he explained about each Nationalpark, animals and plants you could see there. After a day of safari and shopping we returned to Arusha met with the organisation and they drove us to Kilimanjaro airport for our flight back to Zanzibar. I would definitely recommend doing this tour, but with another accommodation and maybe staying a little bit longer in the Nationalpark on the last day, but that’s probably because we were unlucky with seeing rare animals…

Incredible Safari experience
The safari to Tarangire exceeded our expectations. We were picked up on time and the vehicle was comfortable and clean. Our guide was enthusiastic and had a deep knowledge. We saw an abundance of wildlife, including elephants , giraffes, and zebras.

5 Day Safari
I had an amazing time on my 5 day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Everything was perfect from start to finish and truly I have nothing bad to say about the entire experience. From the tour guide, to the food, to the transport to the accommodation, everything was great! We managed to see everything on my ticklish including the big 5 which of course was a once in a lifetime experience which I am so grateful for! If you’re looking to book a safari I would truly recommend fondness vacations and the 5 day tour!

Experience was magical
Fondness Vacations were very responsive and professional when we were looking for a safari adventure. The whole communication went fast and smooth, and I was calm about transfers and accommodation. Our only job was to enjoy the wildlife and rich experience in the Mikumi park.

Wonderful experience!
I had a wonderful experience on my first safari, and it was made even more special thanks to the warmth and professionalism of the people who accompanied us. The owner of the company Steven, the guide, Jephter, was incredibly kind and approachable, always willing to share his vast knowledge of the local wildlife and flora. He made us feel like we were part of the environment, providing an authentic and exciting experience. Additionally, Mr.Paul, the cook, took care of surprising us with delicious meals in the middle of nature, always with a smile and a helpful attitude. It was an unforgettable trip, full of magical moments, and all of this was possible thanks to Steven, Jephter and Paul's dedication and care. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to have an authentic safari filled with details that make all the difference.
