Africa Tours in December 2026

I think the stilted village could be dropped. Maybe another night on the coast. A lot of us had been to Benin where the stilted village is awesome. Went on the 13 Dec departure. I think Xmas day masquerade could be built into itinerary and also a visit to a church-there are enough of them!

This was an exceptional tour in Morocco that really connected us to the culture and history of this beautiful country. Our tour leader, Nabil, was excellent and made the experience fun and enriching. The pre-tour to Chefchaouen and Tangier was a real highlight, the North of Morocco should not be missed. And of course the desert was amazing, loved the 4WD vehicles, the desert camp, even the camel ride! A true highlight was tea with a Nomad family at their now-permanent home in what seemed to be the middle of the desert. The tour was full of special cultural moments that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to arrange independently.

In late November 2025, four friends and I from India did the Marangu Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was a great experience every step of the way. In the weeks leading up to our climb, we exchanged many emails with the Aardvark Expeditions sales staff. Their quick responses and thorough explanations were what persuaded us to book with them. While climbing, our guide (Gabriel and Fred) were extremely professional. They adapted their pace to ours, provided encouraging words and advice to help us acclimatise, and made sure we were safe at all times. The food that Erik and Abuu prepared was another highlight. The meals were fresh, filling and served to us with a smile. Aardvark Expeditions made our first Kili attempt feel possible, secure and fun. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend this Morocco trip. It is a full-on pace, so be prepared, but absolutely worth it to see as much of this wonderful country as possible in a relatively short time. I was very lucky to travel with a great group and our guide, Nabil, was fantastic! He made sure that the trip was filled with highlights and adventure, as well as a lot of fun! If you are considering this trip then all I can say is…..just go!

Our 8-day Lemosho Route Climb was a wonderful opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with our companions from India and family members from the United States of America. The Sales Team supports a high level of responsiveness to customers' needs during the booking process. We felt an immediate connection with the Aardvark Expeditions Limited because of the quick response times and open and honest communication etc. Our head guide, Fred and assistant guide Bariki were excellent leaders who provided good guidance and concern for all climbers throughout the entire Kilimanjaro Trek. They kept climbers safe, happy and comfortable throughout each stage of the trek. We reached the summit of Kilimanjaro with a sense of accomplishment, confidence and pride. For us, this climb was about the journey and the people who helped us along the way to reach the summit. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro.

A group of 4 climbers from India, along with 3 friends from the UK, completed an arduous climb via the 7-day Machame Route with Aardvark Expeditions, and they exceeded our every expectation along the way. The first impression we had of Aardvark Expeditions (Philemon Joel) was one of speed in responding to our requests, providing clear directions, and making truthful declarations about what to expect when we booked. Booking our climb was made easy due to the assistance provided by the sales team. During the actual climb, the guiding team of Bariki and Jonathan performed exceptionally well. They were vigilant in their monitoring of climbers, supported us when altitude sickness hit, and continuously provided motivation throughout our trek on the mountain. The summit day was incredibly emotional, and all Aardvark Expeditions staff were there at the summit to celebrate with us for achieving our goal. This is a company that genuinely cares about every person who climbs for them. A five-star rating does not do enough justice for the value provided by the staff at Aardvark Expeditions.
