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.

Fondness Vacations provided THE BEST SAFARI experience for me!
Everything was exceptional. Flawless service since the beginning. Stephen understood my needs as a traveler & photographer and crafted the BEST SAFARI experience Iâve ever had; and this was my tenth! Me and my family were treated with so much love and care by everyone, specially Jephter, our amazing guide who did everything to make our safari dream so mesmerizing. Special thanks to Dr. Po, our incredible chef, who cared for us during the whole experience cooking with so much dedication the most delicious meals weâve had in Tanzania.

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 â all bank transfers are blocked. I donât 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 endlessď Communication was smooth and in all important moments we had a connection â transfers, trip, doesnât matter early morning or late evening, very safe and reliable company. Another doubt for me was travelling with two kids who donât eat almost anything â but the staff addressed this problem, children were not hungry but happy.
So, to sum up â safari with Fondness vacation was an unforgettable experience!
