Amazing Safari Experience
Had a 5D/4N safari trip with my wife and 2 y.o son in November.
Philemon was fast response and very helpful in arranging our family trip.
Our guide and driver Julio was amazing and took a very good care of us during the trip.
Highly recommended.

Our tour operator with very knowledgable about the animals in the safari and kept us entertained!
This was quite a wonderful experience! It was well worth the cost, and we saw so many animals in Tarangire National Park (leopards, lions, zebras, elephants, monkeys, giraffes, etc.). We were picked up on-time, and we had a whole tour for just the two of us, which made the experience feel personal and intimate. It was quite easy to communicate with Philemon about the itinerary, cost, and expectations. We received round-trip transportation and lunch. I would highly recommend anyone interested to go with Aardvark Expeditions when choosing a tour company! I would also recommend for people to think deeply about when they are choosing to travel and visit a safari as well as which safari to visit because different animals will be present at different safari locations at different times of the year, just to keep in mind!

Fantastic
It was amazing trip. We were nicely suprised about our tour guide. He was really friendly and helpfull. Whole trip was really fun. We saw so many plants and wild animals. This was our first time in Africa and he told us about culture. We will go to Tanzania one more time for sure.

Very knowledgeable of all aspects of the tour
We had a great time,we were able to see all the wildlife close up. The driver was very knowledgeable of all the animals that that we were able to see. I would recommend this company if you are in the area and thinking about safari. Thank you Philemon.

He was very knowledgeable and very professional
I went to the Ngorongoro Crater. It was absolutely amazing. There were plenty of animals in the Crater. We were able to get some amazing pictures.
Philmont delivered everything he said he would and more. I am planning on returning to see the Serengeti. Can't wait to return

They made it happen!
At age 60 with bad knees, Aardvark Expeditions was able to make it possible for me to reach the summit with no problems and no delays. The team all the way from the tour operator Philemon, all the way through the Guide, the Cook and the porters were all excellent and attentive to my needs. They even anticipated needs that I didn’t even know I had. The planning and security from the moment I arrived at the airport all the way through my drop off back at the airport was taken care of with excellent courtesy. While on the climb to the summit, the food was fantastic my guide, Freddie was available and attentive to all that was required to attend the goal which was to get me to the summit. I was successful! Bottom line …they got me there.

Life changing experience
Had an incredible experience with our guide donatus he didn’t stop until we had seen every animal possible even got to see a leopard with a fresh kill in a tree also found Philemon great to deal with and he even met with us when we arrived to make sure we were ok and met us at the airport when we were leaving to make sure we had a good time which was a really nice touch I wouldn’t use anyone else in the future.

Great Safari with experienced guide
After Kenia and Namibia this was our third safari which we did as a family. Luckily, we got a very experienced and sympathetic guide (Donatus) who made this journey unforgettable for us. Philemon was flexible enough to adjust the safari based on our needs and wishes and helped us work out a wonderful 10-days route throughout the Northern part of Tanzania. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting to see as much of the country, it's people and animals as possible. All our accomodations worked out according to our prior plan and we're wonderful. Thanks a lot to Donatus, who spent these 10 days with us and let us make these safari so memorable to us! And thanks to Philemon for staying flexible and meeting our needs.

Excellent service
It was one of my dream trips, it finally came true. We took a private tour which was by far the best option for us. Thanks to the extraordinary effort of our guide Moison, we were able to see the big 5 in one morning. I recommend Aardvark because the organization was excellent and they gave us all the help to minimize the impact of our luggage not arriving on time.

Amazing, trustworthy, and professional operator!!!
My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Tanzania and Zanzibar in August 2022 for 2.5 weeks.
When researching luxury safari options, I found Aadvark Expeditions run by Philemon Joel. They offered pretty much the same luxury packages as other operators but for a more reasonable price and is being run by locals rather than a US company.
Speaking and arranging the plan for the 6/7 day safari was seamless, with Philemon Joel super cooperative and extremely responsive over WhatsApp. I was initially concerned with sending money over a wire 30 days before arriving, but after some more research I found this to be typical for this industry (as they need the money to book the Safari). In fact, Philemon Joel, agreed to accept 50% wire and the other 50% in cash on arrival. Philemon Joel also provided references from other tourists from my country which was great!
In addition, Philemon Joel was super flexible when it came to creating the perfect trip for our honeymoon.
Donatas, our driver, was incredible! He was super flexible with regards to times leaving for game drives and made a lot of extra effort to ensure we saw the best animals (including the elusive cheetahs and leopards) and had the best experience possible.
Also when our trip ended Philemon Joel was eager to collect feedback for how he can improve the experience for future tourists.
I can’t recommend enough using these guys! This was an unforgettable experience!!! If we get the chance to do this again, we will certainly go with Aadvark Expeditions!
