Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Peta
This self-contained ecosystem guaranteed the opportunity to definitely view animals and bird life - and the highlight was the black rhino. We saw elephants, lion, hyena, warthog, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, impala, gazelle, flamingoes, ibis, secretary birds, heron and more. Good weather enabled some great pictures and there weren't a huge number of vehicles vying for best viewing, at this time. Excepting the rare closeup sighting of the shy black rhino where about 20 vehicles lined the road to get a snap.

🌟 Exceptional 7-Day Safari Experience with Aardvark Expeditions! 🌟
We recently completed a 7-day safari in Tanzania with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, safe, and incredibly rewarding.
A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Philemon, the visionary behind Aardvark Expeditions, for personally briefing us and ensuring every detail was taken care of. His professionalism, responsiveness, and passion for showcasing Tanzania’s natural beauty were evident in every aspect of the tour.
Special appreciation goes to our guide and driver, Mr. Joshua. With years of experience and an exceptional understanding of wildlife behavior and the terrain, Joshua made every game drive both exciting and educational. His patience, sharp eye for spotting animals (even from a distance!), and deep respect for nature made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were able to witness the Big Five, the great migration, and so many other breathtaking moments up close — all while feeling completely safe and cared for.
One of the most unexpected and delightful parts of this safari was how they sparked in me a new passion for bird watching. With Joshua’s enthusiastic knowledge of avian species, I found myself completely drawn into this beautiful and often-overlooked aspect of the Tanzanian wilderness. It has become a hobby I will carry with me far beyond this trip.
The accommodations were well chosen, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was thoughtfully crafted to give us a rich and varied experience across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.
If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, Aardvark Expeditions is the team to trust. Ask for Joshua as your guide — you’ll be in the best hands.
Asante sana to the entire Aardvark team — we’ll cherish these memories forever! 🐘🦁🦓🦒🦜

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Safari Experience with Aardvark Expeditions!
We recently completed a 7-day private safari in Tanzania with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was an incredible journey from start to finish.
From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we were met with warm hospitality and seamless coordination. Our itinerary took us through Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire — each destination offering its own unique charm and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Our safari guide was outstanding — deeply knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about nature and conservation. Whether it was spotting elusive big cats or sharing insights into animal behavior, he elevated our experience to another level. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, ensuring a smooth ride throughout.
Aardvark’s choice of accommodations was excellent. We especially loved the atmosphere at Eileen’s Trees Inn, and the immersive experience of staying at Hippo Trails and Embalakai Luxury Tented Camps in the heart of the Serengeti. The service, food, and views at each lodge were top-notch.
Every detail was taken care of — from timely pickups to well-organized game drives and thoughtful touches throughout the trip. Aardvark Expeditions provided us with a safe, enriching, and truly memorable adventure through Tanzania’s most iconic parks. Highly recommended!

Incredible first safari experience
My friends and I had a fantastic experience with Axis Africa. Booking was seamless. Our guide, Peter, was extremely accommodating and knowledgable, and made sure our group had a great time. Highly recommend this company!

Martin was a quiet guy but got us to the animals very efficiently.
Daisy was very nice and thoroughly explained the tour during the debriefing.
Our driver was experienced and helped all the people who we passed stuck in the mud. He found lions for us as well.
two members of our party forgot things, and he went back for them. Very nice of him.
Unfortunately, if you're in the back of the car, you cannot hear him. Maybe speakers and intercom system would be helpful. Also wifi.

Very good experience. Our tour guide was also very good. It was really great. I really liked this trip. There were seven of us in total. We saw a lot of animals and had a different experience every day.

Excellent! Very professional and organized with great safari guides!
This was the trip of a lifetime and we owe it all to John! From the moment we touched down in Kilimanjaro, John had someone pick us up at the airport and drive us to our hotel in Arusha. The next morning we headed to the Serengeti and had an excellent safari guide, Emmanuel. He is Maasai and knew so much about everything! The nature, the history and the animals. He could spot an animal from a mile away which helped us see all the big five and so much more! We felt safe with our guide and he was always happy and pleasant. We did a luxury safari and the accommodations were excellent, great food and service. They sent us off on game drives everyday with a delicious lunch which our guide set up for us. From the Serengeti, we went on to Ngorongoro Crater which was amazing! On the way our guide stopped to show us sites, tell us about the history, let us take photos and found a clean, nice bathroom for us to use within 20 minutes of us asking for a bathroom break. We then drove back to Kilimanjaro for our flight to Zanzibar. John also had a driver pick us up in Zanzibar and take us to our hotel for the night in Stone Town and then picked us up again the next morning to take us to our second hotel farther north in Nungwi Beach. The whole trip was amazing and John is very professional, friendly and trustworthy. He listened to our every need and made it happen! We would not have been able to navigate this amazing trip to Tanzania without him. He had everything planned and organized and did an excellent job. We learned so much on this trip and saw so many amazing things! I definitely plan to come back to Tanzania and my first call will be to John at Serengeti Wildlife Safaris. During the whole trip he was just a phone call or text away to help or answer any question we had. It was like having a good friend in Tanzania that was ready to help with whatever you need. Highly recommend!

Polite, who thinks and organizes all the details
This is our first time on safari, everything was very well thought out, it felt safe and special. The accommodations, the luxury we had in the middle of nowhere were very valuable. You definitely get a lot for your money.
