African safaris from Aardvark

The Ultimate African Safari Solution

With time spent living and working in Africa and more than 20 years in the travel industry, Aardvark Safaris are able to combine our expertise with your African dreams to create a perfect safari.

Tailor Made Safari Vacations

At Aardvark Safaris, we listen to your needs and desires rather than imposing our own ideas. Your ultimate safari will be unique to you, a product of cooperation using our knowledge of the options available.

Honeymoon Safaris and Small Private Groups

A honeymoon is perhaps the most important vacation you'll ever plan. Our experience of travel in Africa let us arrange a safari that combines excitement, adventure and romance: our travel plans work on every level.

Family Safaris

At Aardvark, many of us have children of our own, and we have all taken them to Africa: whether on safari in the bush, family vacations in Indian Ocean islands or journeys into the wilds of Madagascar. We have the knowledge and experience to plan a trip to suit children of all ages.From

 

We know Africa, from north to south. We have walked with the Masai and tracked lion in Luangwa. We have dined at top Cape Town restaurants and cooked our own food over camp-fires in the Okavango. We've rolled out “star beds” in Loisaba and stayed in tree houses in South Africa. Whether you're an individual, couple, family or group, we can help you plan an African vacation and ensure you enjoy an authentic safari in complete confidence and security.

Honeymoon Safari Challenge
We plan a lot of honeymoon safaris in Africa and love a challenge. A recent enquiry saw us plan a long honeymoon safari to Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.

Tongabezi Lodge, close to the magnificent Victoria Falls in Zambia and Xakanaxa in the Botswana's game rich Okavango Delta were just two stops on this incredible trip which ended with a few nights on the beach at Rocktail Bay on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa.
