A great experience
4/5

Me and my boyfriend had a great safari experience thanks to Aardvark. We did a privat budget camping safari and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro (if I remember well, we did it in 6 nights, and 7 days). Definitely something to recommend if you are looking for a near nature experience! Our guide Godfreay was very knowledgable and made the whole experience even more interesting and fun. With him onboard you don't need a binoculars or to worry that you'll not see all hidden animals - he spotted animals from miles away! We could observe the nature and animals in our own pace, which we really appreciated. Our chef Moses was a real magician and made simple but very tasteful food.

Unforgettable Experience
5/5

This was my first time ever going on a Safari so I didn't know what to expect. Everything about the experience was great and easy. First, they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Second, everyone at Aardvark was very helpful and make sure we were enjoying our time. The driver's were very knowledgeable and knew how to handle the dirt roads. The meals were delicious and had much variety, who knew cooking at campsites could be so good?

Let's not forget they made sure we saw the Big Five animals (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino)!

Enjoyable and fun
5/5

It is hard to compare Aardvark Expeditions services to others since this is the only trip like this I have taken. My trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro was the budget (camping) trip. Next time I may pick the stepped up tour since I am 60 years old. I have to say the trip went as scheduled. The food was not only good but remarkable. Drivers / tour guides very knowlegable and friendly and a pleasure to to travel with. I would highly recommend them.

Highly Recommend for Safari
5/5

A group of 7 of us from the United States participated in the 5 day/4 night camping safari in July 2015. The highlight of the trip was seeing the big 5! The guides and cook were also excellent and very knowledgeable. Aardvark did an amazing job coordinating everything beforehand and actively communicating and answering our numerous questions before arriving. I would highly recommend Aardvark Expeditions for any of your Tanzania travel needs!

Aardvark expedition- best tour operator in Tanzania
5/5

We had the pleasure to go on a 4-days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks with Aardvark Expeditions. I can really recommend the company, and. Mr. Philemon, that runs the company, really offers what he promises and can design the trip after your preferences.

We had a experienced guide that took us around, and we were very happy with the accommodation, services and food that was offered.

In Serengeti, we stayed at a luxury tented camp, Katikati tented camp, which was really comfortable with good beds etc. at the same time as we were in the middle of the park and zebras walked outside the tent when went out in the morning. The staff were very service-minded and the food really good, the breakfast buffet excellent. In Ngorongoro we stayed at a lodge with great view over the crater, and the trip down into the crater is something of the most beautiful I've ever seen!

Philemon also offered airport transfer and hotel in Arusha for the first and last night, which was very convenient.

I would definitely go with Aardvark expeditions again if doing another trip in Tanzania!

Excellent Value for Money with Aardvark Expeditions!
4/5

My husband and I did a 4 night Mt Meru trek with Aardvark Expeditions. We were very happy with the service that we received. Philemon went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the service provided by Aardvark Expeditions. He arrived at Arusha Airport to pick us up 1 hour early than our expected arrival time, and was not perturbed in the least when our flight landed more than an hour late. He was available to help us navigate through Arusha, even offering to pick us up and drop us off a few times to help us out. We were also able to rent gear for our climb from Philemon for a very reasonable price. As for the trek itself, we found that the food provided was probably not quite a 'fancy' as some of the (considerably) more expensive tour operators, but it was more than filling and was able to satisfy our picky tastebuds! Overall, we were very satisfied. We would trek with Aardvard Expeditions again, and we would highly recommend them if you are looking for a tour operator that provides excellent value for money.

great hike to Mt. Meru, Tanzania
5/5

my mom, one of my brothers and I went to Mt. Meru with Aardvark Expeditions and had a great time. It was sometimes a tough hiking but beeing at the top with our guide Conrad was so great that all the suffering was worth it :-). Great food and cool porters.... next time we make the Kili tour - with Aardvark Expeditions :-)

Trustable company with good value for money and personal service
5/5

We booked our safari (5 days 4 nights - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and our Mt Meru trekking with Aardvark. From booking untill now, owner Philemon Joel has taken care of our trip with great care and personal interest, providing excellent service (even in difficult circumstances).
The safari was a budget safari, having arrangements at public campsites. Cooking was excellent (better than most hotel/lodges) and guiding was good. We saw all of the big 5!! Material provided (tents and matras were of good quality ensuring good night rest). Washrooms of the public sites could be better but that s beyond Aardvark control.
Mount Meru climbing started perfectly, with good English speaking guide and excellent cooking at first night but we had to stop our trekking unfortunately due to forest fire blocking the track. Aardvark took the right decision by ensuring our safety and going down again. Philemon immediatly looked for an alternative stay when the lodge we were before was fully booked, which was a great help and much appreciated. He also refunded the costs for the days we didn t have!

Overall we are extremely happy with the service profided and can recommend Aardvark as a trusthworthy and good partner!
