This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park.

Serengeti National Park
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend another night at Embalakai Tented Camp on Full Board basis.

Fantastic safari

5.00We are a couple from Italy and can highly recommend the Arusha based company Advaark Ltd. and the manager Philemon. We did a wonderful one week safari in the Serengeti and Tarangire national park, manyara lake, Ngorongoro crater etc. He organized the entire trip in every detail following exactly our needs and wishes. Especially we can recommend the guide and driver Donatus. He was a really special guy and we became friends after very short time. Not only his notions about the regions and nature where exceptional, he never hesitated to realize all our special wishes and to give us every thinkable help and information . He did everything possible to drive us so close as possible to all interesting sites and animals, his unbelieavable good eyes allowed him to discover even little animals from such al long distance we could not even imagine before that it would be possible. At the end everything was perfect and an unforgettable life experience. Thank you so much Herta and Claudio

5.00Hands-down, this was the trip of a lifetime. Aardvark Exp. was exceptionally responsive, trustworthy and informative. All of our pre-travel questions were answered promptly, and we had no worries that the Aardvark team would be at the airport waiting for us. The drivers were very professional, very safe on the road and extremely informative. Everyone we encountered spoke English and greeted us with a smile. Philemon took care of everything for our family (3 children ages 11 to 6) from hotel accommodations to boxed lunches (SO GOOD!) to transportation to and from the airport. The lodges/tents that we stayed in were some of the nicest places I've ever been in my life! Amazingly beautiful, hot showers, bottled water, pool, air conditioning, bug spray if needed, and the staff! Oh my the staff were fantastic everywhere we went, big smiles, songs, helping hands and very friendly. We always felt safe and never worried about our belongings being stolen or lost (except for a rogue baboon or two). Aardvark Expeditions is highly recommended for all of your travel needs in Tanzania! You will not be disappointed.
Family of 17 (76-4 years old) enjoy the holiday of a life time thanks to Aardvark Expeditions.

Family Safari with Aardvark Expedition

5.00Oh my goodness! From the booking date of this safari, prompt responses to multiple questions, pick up at JRO airport, 7 days packed with the most spectacular animals, birds, trees, and scenic drives through markets and countryside, Aardvark Expeditions and Philemon gave their best for our family gathering of 17. Philemon addressed the diet restrictions of a grandchild with celiac. Our 3 drivers, Uriel, Bryson, and Moses were absolutely the BEST and well trained in knowledge of the animals and terrain. They made sure the 9 children, ages 4-16, and adults had all the time needed to observe and photo shoot action packed days filled with elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, rhino’s, hippos, baboons, Cape buffalo, Dic dik’s, many birds of all kinds, ostrich’s, lilac breasted rollers and secretary birds! The night lodges were located in scenic countryside and were upper level comfortable. The chefs provided Many food selections for all ages. Our family has forever happy experiences of this safari with Aardvark Expeditions. Philemon was a pleasure to work with.
The Best Tour Company in Tanzania!

5.00I can unequivocally say that Aardvark Expeditions is the BEST Safari option money can buy! We just finished a 7 day safari with a group of 17 family members! The trip was absolutely amazing from the pick-up at the airport to the final dropoff! The guides (Moses, Uriel, Brayson) were fantastic guides. They were super friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Their knowledge extended much beyond the wildlife and included geology, history and politics. All three of them spoke fantastic English. They were SUPER patient with our group of 17 which included 9 kids! I am convinced these guys are some of the safest drivers in Tanzania! Many of the other tour companies had drivers that were clearly driving way too fast and out of control. We saw the ENTIRE big 5 including multiple leopards, hunting cheetahs, and even 4 Black Rhinos! Before I booked with Philemon , I researched many tour companies and got quotes from at least 5 different companies. The price was unbeatable compared to the US and European based travel agents that apparently DOUBLE the price of the tour for their commission. The booking process was super easy! The lodges we stayed at were top tier lodges with unbelievable service, food, professionalism and views! We stayed at Mawe Mawe, Embalakai, Rhino Lodge, And Marera Valley Lodge. I want to personally thank Philemon and the Aardvark team for the most fantastic family trip of a lifetime!
Excellent experience!

5.00We were very pleased with the service we received from Philemon at Aardvark Expeditions. We booked a 7-day safari with visits to Tarangire, Manyarra, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Because our stay in Tanzania was longer than that, we relied on Philemon to book extra accommodation at the beginning and end of our trip. He was flexible enough to make changes to the schedule to accommodate us. We enjoyed the company of our driver/guide and were able to see most of the animals one expects to see in these game parks. The accommodations and meals provided were excellent bearing in mind the locations we visited. A couple of our stays were in truly luxurious surroundings. Others brought us as close to nature as we would probably care to be! When we found we needed extra cash, our credit card was able to provide a cash advance at every ATM we tried in Arusha and Karatu. You will find yourself in good hands with Philemon and Aardvark Expeditions.
