1:
Despite years of trying Alice is
the only one at Aardvark to have
actually seen one of these shy,
nocturnal animals. We chose the
name to appear at the top of lists
and catalogues.
2:
Along with bespoke safaris, we
plan wonderful beach holidays on
the African coast and Indian
Ocean islands.
3:
It costs no more to use us to
organise your holiday than it would
if you planned it yourself. Really!
4:
Last year we organised a wedding
on an island in the middle of the
Zambezi River. This year’s challenge
is a blessing in a hot air balloon
above the Masai Mara. Our wedding
list service is a great way to add
memorable one-offs to a honeymoon.
5:
Between us, we have children ranging in age from 5 to 21.
This lucky bunch have travelled to Africa a fair bit, so when we
say we’ve checked the guides’ stamina and enthusiasm and the
child friendliness of the activities, you can be sure we really have.
6:
We’ve had over 200 clients reach the top of Mount
Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest freestanding mountain. Four of the
Aardvark team have reached the top as well.
7:
We’ve organised over 3,000 holidays since 1999, and six of
the Aardvark team have been with us for over ten years.
8:
Richard was once a raft guide on the Zambezi River below
Victoria Falls and Francis led overland African trips for six years.
In fact, all of our sales team have lived and worked in Africa.
9:
With seven horses between us, we cover everything from side
saddle to 2*eventing, and have tested out all the riding safari
operators in Southern and East Africa.
10:
Over three years – that’s the combined length of ‘African
educational’ trips of the current sales team. Don’t just take our
word for it that they really know what they’re talking about – over
80
%
our bookings come from word of mouth or repeat business.
