"The most breathtaking experiences courtesy of this local tour operator. The safari gave my family an opportunity to connect with local communities. We visited a nearby village and had the chance to interact with the friendly locals, learning about their culture, traditions, and way of life. It was a humbling experience that enriched our understanding of the region.
The sunset game drive was incredible, as the golden sun dipped below the horizon, we found ourselves surrounded by the enchanting sounds of nature. The air was filled with the calls of birds, the distant roar of lions, and the rustling of leaves as animals emerged for their evening activities. It was a truly magical moment that I will cherish forever.
Finally, the food and hospitality throughout the safari were exceptional. From delicious traditional meals to refreshing sundowner drinks in the bush, every aspect of our stay was meticulously taken care of. The combination of incredible wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality made this safari experience truly unforgettable.

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!

We climbed the Kilimajaro by the Rongai Route. It was an amazing experience. 6 days there, walking, talking, eating, sharing... Es una ruta asequible, con un último dia de ascensión de dificultad media debido a la altitud y el frío. Hay que tomárselo con calma, disfrutar "pole pole", para saborear en las mejores condiciones la conquista de la cima.
Wow - not even sure where to begin. We did a 5-night 6 day safari with the local tour operator. It was difficult for us to select which company we were going to safari with and we couldn't have been more happy with our choice. We were always comparing our vehicle, food and guide info with others along the way and it seemed like we were always better off then those we met! :) Our guide Azaria has a true passion for wildlife and ensuring his guests are happy. He went above and beyond for us in many ways including helping us to buy bus tickets upon our return back to Arusha. Our chef Benjamin surprised us daily with his delicious meals. Peter (the owner) was very patient and answered my many emails with lots of details and quickly. We received quotes from a lot of companies and the one we picked is extremely competitive and we felt in the end priced very fair for the services provided. We camped for 4 nights and then headed to a mid-luxury lodge for our final night. Camping in the middle of the Serengeti was so cool and it was nice to end the adventure in a fancy place!
One thing that is very important when considering a company is having unlimited driving KM's. We didn't even know how important this was until we were chasing after a Cheetah and 2 other vehicles wouldn't follow as they were limited to the number of kilometres they could drive each day. Nothing stoped Azaria from trying to show us all the animals! :)
I would not hesitate to recommend this tour operator to anyone - working with a smaller company who us truly committed to customer satisfaction is totally the way to go for an expensive activity like a safari.

If you’re dreaming of conquering Africa’s highest peak, the "Mt. Kilimanjaro Climbing: 6 Days Marangu Route" tour is the classic choice. Known as the "Coca-Cola" route, Marangu is celebrated for its gentle gradient, direct path, and dormitory-style sleeping huts—making it popular among first-time trekkers. Ascend and descend the same trail, resting at Mandara, Horombo, and Kibo Huts. Although considered the easiest route, the six-day duration is recommended for better acclimatization and summit success. The tour’s unique selling point is its blend of comfort and tradition, offering the only hut accommodation on Kilimanjaro, making it a favorite for those seeking a straightforward trek with a touch of history.

First of all, hats off to our guides, Albert (first 3 days) and Benjamin (last 3 days). They were both EXCELLENT drivers and very good at spotting the animals. We were able to see all of the big five, and the places we stayed were nice. You can't beat this tour for the price.
"My safari experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was a perfect blend of adventure, wildlife, and cultural immersion. If you ever have the opportunity to go on a safari, I highly recommend this local tour operator. They will offer you an experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime, worth every penny you pay.
