Met on a safari in Tanzania in 2021
Vacation Friends began with a simple idea: travel is better when shared with others. In 2021, our founders met on a safari in Tanzania and formed an instant connection that changed their lives.
They realized that many solo travelers were seeking not just adventure, but meaningful connections. Today, we've helped thousands of travelers find their "vacation friends" – companions who turn great experiences into unforgettable memories.
