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!

Excellent safari experience
Well organised trip by Stephen who was excellent with his communication and friendliness. We managed to see the best of the 3 parks, including the Great Migration and the Big 5!
All transfers to and from Zanzibar and during the trip were perfectly taken care off, I highly recommend Fondness Vacations for your Tanzania safari experience

Very friendly and accommodating.
Brilliant 5 day safari experience of Serengeti, Ngrongoro and Tangire. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and had an unforgettable time at safari. I really wanted to see a leopard but didn't have high hopes as I know they are very rare, but got to see them three times during my safari. Had a brilliant driver who was very knowledgable about the animals and was a big part of our great experience.

Top-Notch Experience, Highly Recommended!
We chose Fondness Vacation for our 4-day safari and couldn't have made a better choice. The itinerary through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was perfect, with tons of animal sightings, thanks in large part to our guide, Freddy, who was excellent and very knowledgeable.
The organization was top-notch: Stephen contacted us every day to check in, the jeep was comfortable and always fully stocked, and the food—both the packed lunches and at the accommodations—was genuinely great. We really appreciated the mix of one night in a lodge and two nights camping, which made the savanna atmosphere even more immersive. A serious, competent agency that truly takes care of its clients. Well done!

AMAZING! Everything has been perfect
My boyfriend and I went on a budget safari for 3 nights and 4 days. We spent the first night in a Lodge and the other two nights camping. We loved everything! The food was great and the people of the accommodation were super nice. Also our coordinator Stephen checked on us every day ☺️ the safari was perfectly organized and we got to see many animals in all the parks visited ( Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater)! The jeep was cleaned and comfortable with unlimited water and other soft drinks.
Also the food during the safari was super tasty!
It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend Fondness Vacation to organise it ✨
