The Absolute Best Team on 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.

Operator response

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Trek and Safari with Aardvark Expeditions (Dec 2024 – Jan 2025)

Aardvark Expeditions made our Tanzania adventure truly unforgettable! From the moment we landed in Arusha to summiting Kilimanjaro, their team was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Our guide Fred ensured our safety while making the trek enjoyable with their expertise and encouragement. The safari that followed was equally magical—seeing the Big Five up close was a dream come true. Highly recommend Aardvark for anyone looking for an authentic and seamless African adventure! By the way our trip happened from 26th of December, 2024 to 15th of January, 2025.
