Reviews
Highly Recommend for Safari
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
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!

great hike to Mt. Meru, Tanzania
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
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!

Awesome Safari Experience with Aardvark Expeditions
We did a 5 day (6 night) safari with Aardvark Expeditions. It was an awesome experience. Philmon made sure that everything was handled ahead of time, so that there weren't any surprises and we got exactly what we wanted. We saw the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Parks and they were amazing. Our Tour Guide, Amani, did a great job driving us around and answering all the questions we had. He was also really good at finding the animals. Our locations were great (we did the luxury tents) and the food was wonderful. I would highly recommend Aardvark Expeditions to anyone going to Tanzania, they do a great job!

Knowledgeable drivers/guides, excellent cooking, friendly and helpful staff - memorable experience
This was fabulous experience for my family. Aardvark made the safari easy, knowledgeable, safe, and memorable. The guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and safe drivers. They understood our needs and how to make the safari pleasant and enjoyable. They made sure we saw as many animals as possible and educated us on their habits. They also saw to our needs and comfort. The cooking was excellent. The meals were plentiful and tasty! I highly recommend Aardvark Expeditions.

From booking to actual safari an excellent experience.
When contacting Aardvark Expeditions, Philemon was very responsive and all my questions were answered quickly. He picked us up at the airport, briefed us before and debriefed us after the safari, he showed real interest in our experiences and valued us as customers.
I think, that they offer real great value, all our expectations where more than fullfilled. Safaris are not cheap but I think, that Aardvark has very good offers on a lower budget. We went on a 6D5N lodge safari to Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had an exceptionally nice and good driver who showed us all the views an Animals we wanted to see and even more. All accomodations were very good and some were outstanding.
