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.
This tour company gave us the best experience as we trekked up Kilimanjaro to the summit, followed by four days of exploration to Lake Manyra, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Our guides were all amazing and all very experienced on Kilimanjaro and safari as well. They gave us the exceptionally great service and made us feel comfortable and safe at all times.
The company had made excellent arrangements so that the trip was flawless and stress free.
Madagascar is a beautiful country and we were so lucky to see so much wildlife...including lots of endangered lemurs. The CEO and tour group made the entire experience. My only complaint is that it was too short, I could have stayed longer!

I recently had a trip on 10th September, 2025 and was one of the most attractive and lovely
trip I had ever since, because they are well-organized with well trained, punctual and knowledgeable tour guides. I booked a 4-day travel package to the coastal region through their office and from the beginning everything was handled professionally and friendly. The company arranged my transportation, accommodation and my all daily activities, making my trip more interesting and enjoyable.
The journey began early in the morning, with a comfortable tour Bus that was neat, air-conditioned and well-maintained and
serviced. Along the way the tour guide shared many interesting facts about the different places we went through, which made the long trip more enjoyable and unforgettable. When we arrived at our destination, the company had already reserved our hotel rooms and check-in was quick and easy.
Each day of the trip had a well-planned travel plan. We visited popular tourist attractions, including historical sites, beaches, and local markets that were available there. One of the favorite moments was the visit to a marine park, where we took a boat ride and saw dolphins, shark, Star fish. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he was making sure always everyone was comfortable and having a good time on the trip.
The company also included group activities for example evening beach walks, cultural dances, and traditional dinners, which made experience even more memorable and unforgettable. I was really impressed by how organized everything was because
transportation was always on time, meals were delicious and safety measures were strictly followed.
What stood out most was the company’s attention to detail and care for their clients. They constantly checked in to ensure that we were satisfied and even provided assistance for anyone with special needs. To be honest I had a wonderful experience travelling with the travel team. Their excellent planning, friendly staff, and commitment to customer satisfaction made the
trip unforgettable. I would definitely travel with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable tour experience.

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.
I had the best experience ever! The climbing day is tough but it's so worth it to be on the highest point of Africa! The marangu route is very comfortable but still is an experience that gets you out off your comfort zone

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!
