Stephen is reliable, courteous, friendly, and highly competent.
This safari was our first adventure of its kind, and it exceeded all our expectations. It delivered everything we had dreamed of and everything that had been promised in the tour description.
The natural beauty and wildlife were breathtaking in every way. The accommodations organized by Stephen were outstanding, with each one being a highlight in its own right. The overnight stay at the luxury tented camp Safari Heaven was especially unforgettable.
Last but not least, our guide Gilbert made the experience truly special. Thanks to his knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality, we enjoyed three wonderful and memorable days.

Attentive to every detail, highly efficient, and always available and helpful throughout the safari.
We had an incredible experience with Fondness Vacations! Stephen was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He arranged our transfer from Kenya and was incredibly flexible, adapting the tour to our needs. He was always attentive, helpful and quick to reply whenever we contacted him. He even went the extra mile and arranged a lovely surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the experience even more special. Everything was well organised and reliable, and we truly felt looked after throughout the whole trip. We highly recommend Fondness Vacations and would definitely book with them again!

Best experience in my life
One of the best experiences of my life.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The agency did an outstanding job, taking care of every detail.
A very special thanks goes to Malaki, our guide. He was an amazing person—always kind, helpful, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy the safari to the fullest and experience every moment in the best possible way.
The combination of the agency’s excellent organization and Malaki’s outstanding guidance made this trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience!

5D Private Safari Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeti
Stephen (Fondness Vacations) did an outstanding job planning our family safari 5D in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central and North Serengeti, pick up from Kilimanjaro Airport upon arrival, organizing our flight out from N Serengeti to Zanzibar resort, paying a great attention to details, comfort, understanding and meeting our needs, a big care - such as a clean and nice smelling jeep every morning, snacks and drinks always ready in the jeep, noticing my husband’s birthday and organizing a surprise before even me asking about it, lovely unforgettable stays in quality lodges and camps with some of them being surrounded by wild animal sounds at night and early morning (surreal!), beautiful safari picnics - just a few among many benefits and bonuses to mention. Always responsive to every my email or text. During the 2nd week of July we saw big 5 (in three parks combined, not one), many other animals and birds, spitting cobra, Mara River crossing (no crocodiles hunting, though). Sadly, no active predator hunting we saw, even though I asked the driver several times that we want to see it, but just we saw predators eating the meat after the hunt - I guess because we did not insist the driver to leave the camps in Serengeti around 6am, but agreed with his suggested leaving at 8:30 am that was too late for the predator behavior. Probably, you have to ask in advance for an experienced in Central and North Serengeti animal behavior guide/driver with 10-15+ years of experience, and give proactive insisting requests to the driver about your needs. Apart from this , everything was excellent with the Fondness Vacations , I will highly recommend it to everyone and we will surely use it for our next trip, just with some tweaks that we learned from our mistakes (described above). Big thanks to Stephen!

The experience exceeded expectations.
The whole experience was excellent. The travel agency was very attentive and promptly resolved all the issues we raised. Another interesting thing was that we met other Chinese tourists at the camp. We found that complimentary drinks, alcohol and refrigerator service in our vehicle were not offered by other travel agencies.
