Perfect organisation, great experiances with animals, amazing lodges and delicious food.
We were very enthusiastic about the safari. The people are very hospitable and try hard to ensure you have a nice trip. We saw all the animals except the lion and the leopard, which are very difficult to find. The lodges are a dream, there is very good food and even a pool. It's really impressive what they can do in the middle of the bush! I would repeat the safari at any time, it is worth every euro.

It is a very well organized tour operator
We choose the massai Mara and lake Nakuru safaris (3 night 4 days trip from Nairobi). Our tour guide Roger was very well prepared and he love to share his insight about the animals and landscape that we visited. We had the chance to spot all the big 5 and two times the Leopard ( it is a such rare events). Our trip from since the organization was amazing I strongly recommend it

Excellent Safari Experience
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 4 day safari with African Big Cats Safaris. All of the logistics were organised very smoothly ahead of our trip. It was an incredible experience to visit Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater, the Serengeti, and Tarangire. We were able to see the big 5 (black rhino from a distance) and even witness lions hunting their prey. Our guide Venance was amazing. Without his sharp eye we would have missed out on numerous sightings of rare animals. His knowledge was also extremely impressive and his comments added to each sighting of a new animal or even native trees/flowers. I can't stress enough the importance of a good guide.
Thank you Big Cats Safaris, and in particular Venace, for an unforgettable trip!

Reliable, stress resistant, attentive to details
First of all, safari - this is a must do at least once in your life, especially in Tanzania, which is #1 on the list of countries for safari.
This is not a zoo, it is a real life, which is protected - you can't feed animals, you can't touch them, only see. Of course the crowds from cars on the paths is not something good, but seems animals accept them as part of the savanna and do not pay attention.
Beauty is expetional - we've been in the beginning of July to Tarangire (after lunch) - full of wild life and wonderful landscapes with baobabs, Ngorongoro (whole day) - unbelievable place (after lunch animals are sleepy, but before it is just wow), and Manyara - here we haven't seen a lot, I wouldn't go there if I knew that bigger part of savanna is covered by water that time and the road there is not accessible, that was a dissapointment. But altogether we saw herds of zebras, divers antilopas, giraffes, elephants, lions, buffalos, plenty of birds (small and big), hippos and (far away) rhinos, fantastique!
Secondly, about arrangements.
I found out about Fondness vacations from a friend, and Steven was very attentive to details, changes in the itinerary (as I wanted a tour different from their standard ones). After we agreed about all, it appeared to be impossible to book a trip from Ukraine – all bank transfers are blocked. I don’t know if we would ever get on safari without advanced payment with another agency, but Steven arranged everything, we tried out so many ways, so the patience of this person is endless Communication was smooth and in all important moments we had a connection – transfers, trip, doesn’t matter early morning or late evening, very safe and reliable company. Another doubt for me was travelling with two kids who don’t eat almost anything – but the staff addressed this problem, children were not hungry but happy.
So, to sum up – safari with Fondness vacation was an unforgettable experience!

Proactive, reliable and communicative
We were a large family party (6 families), including teenagers and children so, it was 'complex operation'. The holiday would take us from Nairobi to Tsavo West, Tsavo East, Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi and back to Nairobi, with various people joining and leaving (because of work and school, etc) at different points in the 3-week Odessey - Complex operation.
With all that, Award Tours and Safaris came through magnificently. They were proactive, responsive and effective. At the end of the day we all thought the organisation of the holiday was superb.

Amazing
What an amazing experience just as I hoped it would be ever since I was a child. I really liked my guide (Loth) who was not only patient with me but also hospitable, friendly, and knew exactly where to possibly spot the animals!
A Really amazing adventure that I would cherish for the years to come

Excellent
Our guide Hamis is super nice and knowledgeable and he has a super gps in his head and he has eagle eyes to spot any animals. We are so lucky to collect big five in 4 days and a live lion hunting session. We even saw a lion lying on a rock like the lion king. The rhino was miles away but he still can spot it. Peter is sweet and gave us really special souvenir and help us arrange night game and all itinerary. Frank was very responsive when we were doing enquiry and help us tailor make the most exceptional holiday. Every meal is delicious and authentic local food. Everything is excellent.

Organised operator, unforgettable experience with an incredible guide!
We had the most wonderful time in Kenya on the trip of a life time!
We did a five night safari and visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (walking safari) and Amboseli parks then headed the Diani Beach Resort for a week of relaxation!
Right from the beginning of the experience, Silas was prompt and informative when trying to book our trip. He made adjustments to our itinerary to suit our flights exactly and was able to answer any questions we had.
Our driver and guide Gibson was incredible and helped us see a whole range of incredible wildlife up close. He always checked in with what was best for us along the way and we just cannot believe how much we saw! A particular highlight was seeing the great migration of the wildebeests, elephants at Amboseli and RHINO in Lake Nakuru.
All accommodation (arranged by Apodiformes Adventures) were brilliant! Staff were always friendly and polite, and food was delicious!
We are so grateful for such an amazing experience in Kenya!
Thank you Silas & Gibson
