WORLD’S HIGHEST FREE-STANDING MOUNTAIN

Explore the Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano in Tanzania, Africa, and the highest peak on the continent at 5,895 meters. It has three volcanic cones, with Kibo being the highest. It is world’s highest free standing mountain in the words. Kilimanjaro is a popular destination for hikers and climbers, with various routes available. It has a unique ecosystem that includes rainforest, alpine desert, and glaciers. The mountain is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park and holds cultural significance to the Chagga people.

EXPLORE SERENGETI

Witness the Greatest show on Earth

The Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is a yearly event that occurs in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It involves millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traveling across the park in search of fresh grazing and water. The migration follows a circular route, covering around 1,800 miles, and occurs in response to seasonal rainfall patterns. The migration is a significant natural phenomenon that attracts tourists from around the world to witness the spectacle of millions of animals moving in unison. It is also a crucial event for the local ecosystem, as the migration helps distribute nutrients and supports the diverse wildlife in the area.

BEST TIME TO GO

When and where to go?

January

There is a chance of rain, the temperature is getting higher and the humidity is building. It’s still a good time to go as rates are lower and safari is excellent. At this time of year the migration herds are in the southeast of the Serengeti for calving season, so the Ndutu Plains are busy but it is amazing to see so many animals in one place.

February

Migration is still occurring in Ndutu. The weather is hot and humid with a chance of rain.

March

Migrating herds are starting to leave Ndutu, heading west toward Grumeti. This is truly low season, before the heavy rains but with humidity building. Great rates can be taken advantage of at this time of year.

April

This is a period of heavy rain, so we would advise against traveling at this time.

May

This is also a period of heavy rain, so we would advise against traveling at this time.

June

This is the green season, bringing lush grasses and bush that can make spotting game more difficult. However, this is still a wonderful time to travel — particularly for bird watchers as parks are full of migratory birds; especially in the south. Migration should be in the Grumeti area of the Serengeti heading north.

July

This is the start of the peak season. The Migration is in the north of the Serengeti moving toward Kenya, and elephant start to gather in Tarangire. The land is getting drier and spotting game is becoming easier. Temperatures are in the 80°Fs and the humidity is low.

August

This is Tanzania travel peak season. Migration is still in the north. As the land becomes more parched, the animals’ behavior becomes more predictable. The dense bush in Ruaha is drying out so game spotting here becomes much easier.

September

Peak season. The end of the migration is still in the north, with herds on both sides of the Kenya and Tanzania borders and high numbers of elephant in Tarangire. The northern circuit can be very busy, but it is less busy in the south, so for those who want to avoid crowds it’s best to visit the southern parks.

October

Peak season. The migration is now in Kenya, but the game viewing in central Serengeti is still very good. Southern parks are particularly rewarding at this time of year.

November

Short rains. This is a great time to take advantage of low season rates and is still a popular time to travel. The rains tend to be overnight, but there is a risk of rain during the day as well. Migrating herds are starting to travel south from Kenya, so crossings can be seen in the north of the Serengeti.

December

There is a chance of rain, but this is generally overnight. Temperatures and humidity start to build. Safari is good, with migrating herds in the north traveling south to Ndutu. The festive season can be very busy and needs to be planned well in advance to ensure availability.

🌟 Exceptional 7-Day Safari Experience with Aardvark Expeditions! 🌟 We recently completed a 7-day safari in Tanzania with Aardvark Expeditions, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, safe, and incredibly rewarding.A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Philemon, the visionary behind Aardvark Expeditions, for personally briefing us and ensuring every detail was taken care of. His professionalism, responsiveness, and passion for showcasing Tanzania’s natural beauty were evident in every aspect of the tour.Special appreciation goes to our guide and driver, Mr. Joshua. With years of experience and an exceptional understanding of wildlife behavior and the terrain, Joshua made every game drive both exciting and educational. His patience, sharp eye for spotting animals (even from a distance!), and deep respect for nature made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were able to witness the Big Five, the great migration, and so many other breathtaking moments up close — all while feeling completely safe and cared for.One of the most unexpected and delightful parts of this safari was how they sparked in me a new passion for bird watching. With Joshua’s enthusiastic knowledge of avian species, I found myself completely drawn into this beautiful and often-overlooked aspect of the Tanzanian wilderness. It has become a hobby I will carry with me far beyond this trip.The accommodations were well chosen, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was thoughtfully crafted to give us a rich and varied experience across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, Aardvark Expeditions is the team to trust. Ask for Joshua as your guide — you’ll be in the best hands.Asante sana to the entire Aardvark team — we’ll cherish these memories forever! 🐘🦁🦓🦒🦜

I want to express my gratitude to our guides, who were truly remarkable individuals. We are grateful to the guide who spent a few days in Arusha with us. Among the many creatures we saw were the Big Five and wildebeest. Many thanks.

My life's greatest journey My life's greatest journey with Aardvark Expeditions Limited Our journey was exciting, instructive, and breathtaking. Every detail was considered, the food was excellent, and our accommodations were opulent and spotless. I will always remember the experience of seeing all the creatures up close. With Louis as our guide, we always felt secure and in the best possible hands. Having a guide in the car who is so knowledgeable about the animals was a pleasure, and both of them relished every second!

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.

Visiting the Serengeti is great ! This lodge is well located in the Serengeti to see the migration of animals. The ledge consists of tents with beds, bathrooms and is very comfortable. It has zebras and wildebeests walking in the camp. They are harmless and exciting to see. Game drive shows a lot of activities with animals lining up for the migration.

6 days classic lodge safari, adventure holiday This was a once in a lifetime experience and has been on our wish list for a long time. From the first contact with Philemon everything has been smooth. Communication is prompt via whatsapp and email. Philemon arranged a great 6 days safari for us, starting around Arusha NP, then Lake Manyara , Serengeti and the crater. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport Philemon was personally there to pick us up together with our guide Amani. Amani turned out to be a great guide, knowledgeable, crazy navigation and driving skills and showed us Tanzania’s wildlife and nature. After the safari Philemon dropped us at airport, making sure everything was arranged. From start to finish this has been a great adventure, very well organised. @Amani: many thanks for everything, all the best with your future endeavours and we hope your dreams will come true@Philemon: thanks again for arranging this holiday for us, well done 👍
