This was most definitley the best trip of my entire life! What an amazing adventure. I was in two minds as to whether this was the trip for me, right up until I arrived I guess. The whole experience, from the people I travelled with, the inspirational guides and porters who looked after us, to the incredible feeling of reaching the summit, was just one that I will never, ever forget. Both Exodus and The African Walking Company inspired complete trust and confidence. Nothing was left to chance and, despite feelings of intrepidation about various points of the trip, I felt completely safe and thoroughly looked after. This is definitely a trip of a lifetime.

Best price guaranteed

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.

My husband and I recently returned from a eight days safari in Tanzania, the wildlife was really exciting. We saw many animals in the nature. This was one of the best experiences we ever had. Everything was organised perfectly. Accommodation was superb and the game drives were exceptional. A special mention to our guide for being amazing. He was very friendly, but at the same time he also allowed us plenty of time to ourselves. I really suggest to you to do this.

My wife and I did an 8-day private safari - Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. Our guide Focus is a real Maasai community man, so it's not book knowledge, it's the forest in his blood. He took us to his village, Maasai women sang and welcomed us, children jumped and danced - this was not a show, this was their real life. And what touched my heart - a large part of the money from the tour goes directly to the Maasai orphan girls' school and shelter. It's comforting to know that I didn't just come to visit, I was able to help a little bit. Accommodation was very comfortable, food was good and the car was very clean. The price may seem a little high, but it's a lot less than what I got. I'll be back with the kids next year. Hakuna matata!🙏 Thank you very much.

Thanks to the tour operator flexibility, we actually did a 12-day tour of Kenya and Tanzania and it was fabulous. Our two guides, Brian and Elly, were fun, friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. We shared a lot of laughs and developed a strong bond in our short time together, and we saw every animal we'd hoped to see (plus some) thanks to them. Customer service was excellent. They responded to emails in a timely manner, changed the schedule around a bit so that we could fly into and out of Nairobi, booked a hotel for the night we arrived without even being asked, and upgraded our accommodations.

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Are you ready to conquer Africa’s highest summit? The 8-Day Mt Kilimanjaro Summit Climb (Machame Route) is tailor-made for adventurous travelers with a passion for pushing their limits. Known as the 'Whiskey' route, Machame is favored by trekkers seeking a physically demanding but highly rewarding ascent. Over eight days, you will traverse diverse landscapes—from lush rainforest and moorland to the stark alpine desert—each offering its own set of breathtaking vistas and challenges. The journey begins with an approach from Kilimanjaro’s southwest, ascending through rich vegetation before opening onto the expansive Shira Plateau. The path is steeper and the days longer than on the Marangu route, ensuring the trek rewards those with some prior hiking or backpacking experience. High elevation and shifting terrain test both endurance and determination, making every step towards the summit a true accomplishment. A highlight of this tour package is the descent via the scenic Mweka route, offering climbers new perspectives of the mountain’s varied habitats. Along the way, you’ll witness dramatic transitions in flora and fauna, with each camp bringing you closer to the ultimate goal: Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. What makes this trip unique is its combination of challenging adventure and awe-inspiring scenery—ideal for those who crave both physical achievement and natural beauty. Join fellow climbers on this unforgettable journey, and experience firsthand why Machame is considered one of the mountain’s most spectacular routes.
