African safaris from Aardvark

The Ultimate Safari Solution

With over twenty years' experience planning safaris, plus time spent living in Africa, we will marry our expertise with your wishes to create the perfect African safari.

Our approach at Aardvark Safaris is to listen to your desires rather than to impose our own ideas allowing you to create your dream African safari holiday.

Honeymoon Safaris and Small Private Groups

We arrange honeymoons all over Africa. We appreciate that this is the most important holiday you are likely to plan and that expectations are high.

Family safaris in Africa and family holidays to the Indian Ocean and Madagascar are becoming increasingly popular. We have lots of African family holiday ideas and the knowledge and experience to plan a great family safari holiday whatever the age of your children.

We create ‘Quality Holidays Honestly Priced’.  See what we mean by this on our Aardvark Guarantee page and see if our clients agree on our Testimonials page.

From Kenya to South Africa and beyond we have been there. During our many African safaris we have walked with the Masai guides in the Masai Mara and with Robin Pope in the South Luangwa, eaten the food in top Cape Town restaurants or cooked over the fire on a mobile safari in the Okavango Delta, and slept on the 'star beds' at Loisaba, in a tree house at Jaci's Camp and under the stars at Sand Rivers. Whether you are an individual, couple, family or a group, we can help you plan your safari holiday and ensure that you enjoy the real Africa with absolute confidence and security.

Charlotte Opperman has two active boys and a husband, Peter, who loves fishing. The whole family enjoyed their Kenya safari over Christmas.

The holiday included game drives at Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara and camel and horse riding as well as walks and river swims at Ol Malo in Laikipia. The family safari ended on the beach at Manda Bay where Peter disappeared saltwater fishing, the boys enjoyed watersports and Charlotte relaxed with a book.

We plan a lot of honeymoon safaris in Africa and love a challenge. A recent enquiry saw us come up with lots of African honeymoon ideas and then 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 holiday which ended with a few nights on the beach at Rocktail Bay on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa.
