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 I’ve 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 we’ve had in Tanzania.
Stephen & Fondness Vacation Team, Asante Sana!

Incredible Safari experience
The safari to Tarangire exceeded our expectations. We were picked up on time and the vehicle was comfortable and clean. Our guide was enthusiastic and had a deep knowledge. We saw an abundance of wildlife, including elephants , giraffes, and zebras.

Fondness Vacations offers smooth, memorable safaris with great service and amazing guides.
Just got back from an unforgettable 3-day safari organized by Fondness Vacations, and I can’t recommend them enough. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. We flew from Zanzibar to Arusha, where we were picked up and taken to a comfortable hotel for the night before the safari started.
The safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Kisamo, was amazing — super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wildlife. He made the experience fun, relaxed, and full of great information. We saw lions, elephants, zebras, buffalo, and even a rhino.
I stayed in a beautiful lodge during the safari with lush gardens and a peaceful view of the surrounding hills. There was even a pool, which was perfect for unwinding after a day out in the parks.
A big thank you to Stephen, who was our main contact at Fondness Vacations — he handled all the details, from flights and transfers to accommodation. Communication was clear, and he made the whole booking process easy and stress-free.
If you’re planning a safari from Zanzibar or anywhere in Tanzania, Fondness Vacations is an excellent choice.

Amazing tour and experience
I had an amazing time on the four day safari with fondness vacations, Steven was amazing he was checking on me all throughout ensuring I had a great experience they were also very accommodating as I am vegan and ensured I had delicious food throughout the trip. our guide simba was great we were able to see almost all animals and he had a great eye so we were first at the location most of the time. I highly recommend booking with them.

Great Safari from Zanzibar
We went on a 3-day, 2-night safari from Zanzibar – and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Communication with the organizer was excellent from the very beginning. He reached out in advance to make sure we had all the information we needed, and during the trip, he checked in with us daily, which made us feel very safe and well taken care of.
Our adventure started early with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. After a short wait, we met our driver Jeff and joined four other travelers for our first safari day in Tarangire National Park. We had a fantastic and exciting day with lots of animal sightings, and drinks and lunch were included, which made it a comfortable experience.
In the evening, we arrived at our accommodation. The first room we were given didn’t meet our expectations, but after reaching out to the organizer, we were quickly offered a different one. It was still quite basic, but in line with the budget-friendly nature of the lodge. We really appreciated how fast and professionally our concerns were addressed.
The next morning, we headed to the Ngorongoro Crater – the absolute highlight of our trip! The landscape and wildlife there were breathtaking, and we would highly recommend visiting this stunning place. After another long but incredible day, we returned to our accommodation.
On the third day, we visited Lake Manyara National Park. This time it was just the two of us with Jeff, which made it a very personal and relaxed experience. While we didn’t see as many animals in this park, the scenery was beautiful and peaceful – and of course, spotting wildlife is never guaranteed, as it’s all part of nature. Jeff was kind enough to stop at a few shops and places we wanted to visit on the way back, which we really appreciated.
Jeff was a fantastic driver and guide – very friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to share interesting facts about the parks, animals, and plants. At the end of the tour, we met with the organizer again in Arusha, and they arranged a smooth transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for our flight back to Zanzibar.
All in all, we would definitely recommend this safari tour – especially because of the excellent organization and our amazing guide. A different accommodation would have made the trip even better, and perhaps a bit more time in the park on the last day, but overall, it was a memorable and rewarding adventure!

Safari from Zanzibar
We did a 3-day, 2-night safari from Zanzibar and had a truly great experience! The communication with the organizer was excellent – he kept in touch before and during the trip, which made us feel well taken care of and safe.
Our guide Jeff was fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater (our highlight!), and Lake Manyara. Each park offered something different, and even though we didn’t see as many animals in Lake Manyara, the overall experience was amazing.
All in all, we’d absolutely recommend this safari – well-organized, full of wildlife, and led by a great guide. With better accommodation and a bit more time on the last day, it would’ve been perfect!

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.
