Professional and organised and offering a good deal
Did a three days safari at the end of November. It has a wonderful experience! In the first day I arrived from Sar es Salaam and after been greeted by the personnel at the Selous River View Lodge, I went to the boat safari on the Rufiji river. The second day I did a car safari all day long and the last day I did the walking safari and came back to Dar. Everyone has always been professional and the food was really good and the guides were always fun and engaging!

Our group included 14 climbers—some who flew in from the US and others from India
Beginning our Kilimanjaro trek on the Machame Route on October 18, 2025, we had a group of 13 trekkers from India, along with some friends from England. Once we connected with Aardvark Expeditions, everything fell into place. Their sales team was the fastest to respond to our requests, providing us with straight answers, clear pricing, and zero confusion; this led us to choose them.
On the mountain, our guides (Bariki, Gabriel and the whole crew) were absolutely AMAZING! They provided us with patient guidance even during our most difficult moments. They monitored our oxygen levels each day and gave us all the encouragement we needed when we reached the steep Barranco Wall ascent. Cook Eric created unique and delicious meals for us every night; his soups provided us with the energy needed to continue trekking.
We heard about Aardvark Expeditions through our friends who had previously summited with them, and we can see why Aardvark Expeditions maintained a high degree of professionalism throughout the entire trek, from tents and pacing to safety. When all thirteen of us reached Uhuru Peak as a group, we felt a shared achievement with the entire crew. I can confidently recommend Aardvark Expeditions for anyone planning a Kilimanjaro climb.

We loved Swahibu’s enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had.
From start to finish, Kelvin was incredibly attentive in accommodating all of our changes, and every part of the trip felt hassle-free, with plenty of food, drinks, bathroom and photo stops, opportunities to grab gifts, a different comfy lodge every night, and even a night drive arranged with another operator so we never felt we were missing out.
Our guide, Swahibu, was fantastic—his enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had, his deep knowledge and clear love for the Serengeti, plus great binoculars and a real eye for positioning the vehicle, meant that even with a lot of driving every day felt packed, purposeful, and helped us discover our own love for the park. He confidently planned each next move and coordinated with other guides to find the best sightings. Goldfinch handled all logistics excellently—every flight, transfer, pickup, baggage hold, and drop-off was smooth, responses were fast whenever we needed anything, the itinerary was very customizable, and the trip was extremely well priced (we compared multiple quotes and Goldfinch was by far the most affordable for the same inclusions, plus the perk of unlimited liquor), making this an amazing option for a couple like us but equally great for families or any group.
Our only real regrets were being unable to do the Nogrongro descent as said in the itinerary and permit issues on last-day game drive which caused us to miss the few fleeting migration sightings and dramatic moments (like a lion kill) other guests caught pictures of that morning even though it was a difficult late-November window. I guess that just means we will have to come back! It was clear that the team, especially Swahibu and Kelvin, truly did their best to make it all happen. Overall, it was a wonderfully organized, stress-free, and memorable safari experience that we would happily recommend to anyone.

Tarangire–Ngorongoro–Manyara: A great safari trip, a memorable night drive!
The 3-Day Fly-in Safari with Bavuma Wild Quest was memorable and enjoyable. Upon arrival in Arusha, the guide took us straight to Tarangire, where we were amazed by the incredible presence of elephants and giraffes. The Ngorongoro Crater was full of wildlife, and the peaceful, green environment of Lake Manyara was truly breathtaking.
The highlight was the complimentary night game drive, which made our entire trip even more special. Overall, the experience was great—there were only a few places we felt we could have enjoyed more if we had had more time.
Nevertheless, the team’s sincerity, the guide’s expertise, and the tour’s beautiful organization are truly commendable.

We have no hesitation in recommending Grassrootz to anyone wanting to tour in Uganda.
After doing thorough research into numerous tour companies, we chose Grassrootz based on communication, flexibility with itinerary, accommodation etc and competitive pricing. It was a great decision. Our driver and guide was Barnice who was excellent. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and if you have time, it is worth going to Uganda not just for Gorillas but for multiple other amazing wildlife and nature experiences.
Breathtaking, amazing, and worth the $!
I went with a few friends and we had the best time! Everything was super smooth from the start, we got picked up from the airport and were driven right to the accommodations. The service throughout was top tier, every driver we had was amazing! The food was also amazing, and they gave us good portions. The communication was fast and easy, we communicated through email and then through whatsapp once we got there. The wildlife we got to see was breathtaking, and all of our guides put in the effort to make sure we saw everything we could. Highly recommend!

Review about Nyerere National Park by Francesco Romagnoli
all animals seen, very good roads, natural sceneries. Fully recommended.
watch out: Rhinos are not seen in the park since ever, basically no one remembers to have seen one. rest of animals are present and abundant.
Nyerere is a good option for those travelling from DAR and Zanzibar.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Dineia Pereira
Tarangire is a beautiful park known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds. The scenery is unique compared to other parks, and the wildlife viewing is excellent, especially during the dry season when animals gather around the river. It’s less crowded than Serengeti or Ngorongoro, which makes for a more peaceful safari experience. A great choice if you enjoy nature and want something a bit off the beaten path.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Dineia Pereira
Serengeti is the ultimate safari destination! The vast plains, incredible sunsets, and the chance to witness the Great Migration make it truly special. Wildlife sightings are abundant, and the feeling of being in such an expansive, untouched wilderness is unforgettable. Be prepared for long drives, but every moment is worth it.
