What a Day Looks like with Aardvark

day with Aardvark Tanzania Safaris starts with an exciting morning game drive, followed by a relaxing midday break or picnic. The afternoon brings more wildlife exploration or cultural experiences, guided by experts. End the day with a beautiful sunset and dinner under the stars, creating unforgettable memories.

Early-Morning Game Drive

As the sun rises over the savannah, we start our day with tea, coffee, and pre-breakfast snacks. Inspired by Peter Beard's description of Africa as "a paradise caressed by light and air," we embark on an early-morning game drive.

Breakfast in the Bush

Returning to the lodge, we enjoy a hearty English-style breakfast or a charming acacia-shaded picnic in the bush.

Cultural Visit

Interact with local communities and learn about their traditions and way of life.

Exploring Tanzania’s Landscapes

Peter Matthiessen’s words, "Whole landscapes seem alert," capture our safari experience. Each sighting, from a majestic cheetah to a herd of elephants, transforms the land from mere scenery to a living, engaging entity, fostering a deep affection for the wilderness.

Sundowners and Sunsets

After a festive lunch filled with stories of the morning’s sightings and delicious safari cuisine, we relax with reading, music, or a refreshing nap and swim. Our afternoon game drive leads into a serene evening.

Evening Campfire and Sleep

Following a delightful dinner back at camp, we gather around the campfire before heading to bed. By morning, we agree with Elspeth Huxley: there is no "sleep so perfect as that stirred but not broken by the thrilling vibrance of a lion’s roar."
