Drumbeat Spring 2022

1. WHERE, WHEN AND WHY? We’ve kept in touch with all our friends and colleagues throughout Africa over the past two years. We’ve travelled (Mauritius, Maldives, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Kenya) and kept in touch by phone and video call. You can be sure we will offer you the best advice and guide you to a country, an area or an experience that will suit you. You will also recognise the names of those in our offices in Tidworth and Musselburgh as they are the experts who’ve been with us for many years, both on the phones or at shows, and behind the scenes making sure everything is booked and the bills are paid. From your first call the planning will be easy and the experience seamless. 2. HAND HOLDING IN AFRICA Simple things make big differences. Whether that’s having someone to meet you at the airport gate to guide you through immigration and customs, or quizzing you on your favourite drinks before you travel so that camps deep in the African bush can be prepared. We’ve been doing this at Aardvark Safaris for over 22 years and many of us have worked in travel for even longer. We’ll use our experience to make sure you come back and tell us your holiday was your ‘best ever.’ 3. UNDERSTANDING THE PAPERWORK Our team of paperwork geeks extracts the key information into bite-sized chunks and draws together a personalised document for each set of travellers. We’ve tested the online forms and can guide our clients through how the system works. If you’re keen to go, we’re ready to help. 4. WORKING FAST If you’ve got some leave saved up, or suddenly find yourself longing for tropical temperatures, we can work quickly and get everything arranged for you to head somewhere exciting and sunny within a short period. Until recently our record was 72 hours from the first phone call to stepping onto the plane, but that was beaten by a rearranged honeymoon which was all put back in place in under 48 hours. If you have the time to get away, we can make it happen.
