Exceptional safari with passionate guides and percect service
5/5

We are a group of four people from Italy — two couples.
From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. Upon arrival and departure, we received thoughtful gifts, which we truly appreciated.

Thanks to our driver Malaki deep knowledge of the land and animal behavior, we were able to spot nearly all the wildlife — even rhinos! Malaki always knew the right spots and showed great intuition throughout the drives. He was also always punctual, respectful, and very professional, contributing hugely to the success of the trip.

Our guide, Abdul, who speaks Italian very well, was incredibly well-informed about the savannah’s fauna. His deep passion for this job was clear in every explanation and interaction. His enthusiasm made every moment more engaging and educational.

We shared breakfast, lunch and dinner with both of them every day, making the experience even more personal and enjoyable.

The safari we arranged before arrival included a variety of accommodations, giving us the chance to experience both luxury lodges and more authentic tented camps — a perfect balance of comfort and adventure.

A special mention goes to Stephen the head of the agency, who contacted us every evening via WhatsApp to check in and make sure everything was going well and that we were happy with the day.

I highly recommend this experience with Fondness Vacation to anyone!

Experience was magical
5/5

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!
5/5

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.

5/5

It was my first safari and the experience was great. The treatment was great and very close Esteve, the owner, and our guide Jephtee, a great connoisseur of the national parks and the cook Dr. Paul, with his homemade meals, God, you have to try them! We were very well looked after at all times and it was a pleasure! Great job guys!!

It was very good organized and we felt very appreciated.
5/5

When we booked our safari tour, we had many questions, but we could clear every open question per whats app. We got a complimentary accomodation before our safari started, a complimentary transfer to the hotel after the safari and a complimentary transfer from our accomodation to the airport. In addition we received tshirts and some other gifts. We also got as much briefings for the safari as we wanted, so we really knew what will happen during the safari. We felt like special guests and are very happy with the organization and the services we received. I also want to mention, that we liked the personal contact with the company as soon as we were in arusha, we felt very safe.

We couldn't have asked for anything better!
5/5

The Fondness team was excellent from the first minute! The entire booking and organization process was seamless, with direct and continuous contact.

Before leaving, Martin and Irene stopped by our hotel for a detailed briefing on the coming days, answering all our questions.

The safari, conducted in collaboration with another tour operator (Suricata), was spectacular! Our guide Lewis and our chef Pius (I hope that's how it's spelled) were both excellent. We spent three days between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, staying in tents, a decision I highly recommend for even more contact with nature and waking up among the animals. During the game drives, we were able to see all the main animals, including the Big Five, at close range. In addition to the local wildlife, we were also enchanted by Tanzania's landscapes, from the endless plains and vast skies of the Serengeti to the incredible variety and uniqueness of the Ngorongoro Crater.

A special thank you to the entire team for helping me make this trip even more special, helping me plan the proposal to my future wife. (She said yes!)

Wild adventure

These past few days have been special for me, filled with wild adventures. I was truly surprised; I was able to see the animals up close, and it was breathtaking. Thanks to the entire team behind this.
