It was one of the best experiences of my life! 😊
Steven from Fondness helped us a lot with the organization of our safari and always answered our questions quickly. We received a very warm welcome in Arusha. Our guide Haji spoke excellent german, which was very helpful on the safaris. He was able to tell us a lot about the animals, the parks and Tanzania. Our driver Steven was fantastic and he has a lot of experience. A fantastic team! We saw many animals and even the Big Five. Highly recommended! If we come back, we‘d definitly love to go with Haji and Steven! We had a great and funny time!

The tour was well organised, full of fun and an incredible experience
This tour is a great all inclusive package, they arrange transport from the airport before conducting a pre-briefing with a competent and insightful staff member who went above and beyond to help me to pick up some additional supplies that I needed. The next day you are picked up by an experienced tour guide who gives you all the required context, arranges your meals and accomodation and shows you all the best spots to take quality photos of the big 5 animals. Our guide Jojo did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and we bonded as a group over the incredible animals we saw. We were lucky to see baby lions, cheetahs and leopards as well as elephants brushing past our vehicle. I wasn’t sure a safari would be worthwhile for me but I’m so glad I did one and the customer support and value provided by this company was second to none.

a wonderful experience
We had a great Family Safari for Four days. Stefan, the owner, is a very reliable and competent person. He is personable and trustworthy. His driver Stephan was very save driver. You only realize later why this is so important. Thanks, Stephan.
Our guide, Haji, was the best thing that could have happened to us. Not only does he speak German and find every animal, he also has incredible knowledge of all the parks. He's funny, and we're so glad he was our guide. Thank you, Haji.
I would book with Stephan again anytime. Unlike the big companies, he takes care of everything!

The brightest choice for Safari!
The best trip of my life!
Choosing Fondness Vacations was the most right decision for this journey to Africa.
First of all, a huge thanks to the reliable manager, Steve, and also the best partner Janeth, who arranged a perfect itinerary based on our needs: a well-planned and diverse safari schedule, walking safari, airport transfers, and more. Steve always provided extremely prompt and thoughtful responses throughout.
Secondly, thank you to our professional guide, Stanley, who accompanied us for four days. With his expertise, he led us to explore the beauty of the Serengeti. We were incredibly lucky to witness the Great Migration, river crossings, lions up close, and even rare leopard. Without him, we wouldn’t have had such a flawless experience.
Lastly, all the accommodations throughout the trip exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed comfortable and clean rest every night. A lot of Thanks to Steve’s team for all the effort they put into making this journey unforgettable. It was because of them that we felt the beauty of Africa, as well as the kindness and warmth of its people.
I will definitely return and choose Fondness Vacations again!

Beyond Expectations
Everything is beyond expectations.
My friend and I went on a mid-range 4 day Serengeti safari with Steve’s team. Now thanking back, the route Steve planned is very smart, with no time wasted. We flew to Northern Serengeti first, then drove through central Serengeti and all the way back to Arusha.
Every accommodation is beyond expectation. You can feel the efforts Steve put in picking the hotels.
During the trip, we saw Great Migration crossing, big fives. I have to say we are quite lucky but also thanks to our guide/driver’s excellent driving skill and abundant knowledge of animals.
Last but not least, our car is loaded with free beer every day! And cold beer! A biiiiiig bonus!!
The whole trip is a good balance between chill and adventure. So just trust Steve and his team. He will guarantee you a unforgettable experience!
