Aardvark Safaris is a vibrant company specialising in organising tailor made holidays in 18 countries throughout Southern and East Africa.

Company Background

Aardvark Safaris was started in 1999 and is privately owned. This means we are completely independent in choosing the camps and countries we promote. Alice Gully, the owner is very much involved in running the company, with the help of a great team.

Aardvark Safaris has two offices in the UK, in Tidworth on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border and in Musselburgh on the outskirts of Edinburgh.

We strive to provide our clients with truly exceptional service and holidays which surpass all expectations. Many of our clients return to us year on year, and much of our business comes via word of mouth recommendations. Our staff are key to the very personal service we provide, so we choose only dedicated, passionate professionals to work with us.

Since 1999 we have had numerous newspaper articles praising our holidays to Africa. We have very high levels of customer satisfaction and new sales currently comprise 70% repeat business and word of mouth bookings. We were awarded four stars by AITO in recognition of our responsible tourism policies.

Whether or not we have current vacancies we always have an ear to the ground for great people to join us. Aardvark is known for having some of the most highly trained, professional, passionate and knowledgeable staff in the travel industry. We keep records on file and when we do have jobs to fill, we get in touch with those who’ve expressed an interest – we’d rather be in touch with those who’ve looked at our site and want to work for Aardvark Safaris, than those who’ve read an advert in the local paper. Contact us and tell us a bit about yourself and what you think you’d like to do for us.
