Awesome 2 day/1 night Tarangire/Ngorongoro safari
5/5

I did 2 day Tarangire/Ngorongoro safari with Cubs Expeditions. I have had in past many safaris in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya , but this one with Cubs went beyond my expectations. I saw so many animals in both places - far more wrt concentrations than any other national park i have been in Africa. Tarangire was awesome to see so many elephants to no surprise as Tarangire is considered the home of elephants. I also saw jiraffs, zebras, wildebeasts, lionesses. In Ngorongoro I saw in far distance the black rhino - a unique for this site. In addition, I saw big prides of lions, buffalos, elephants, birds, hyenas, and more. Ngorongoro is the biggest crater in the world and as such accommodates so many animals. The view of the crater from the wall edges will blow your mind.

The selection of lodge for the night was also excellent luxurious place.

In regards to communication and planning, Humphrey and Mr. T were very quick to respond to my questions . It went very smooth and their reliability assured me to come back in near future and bring more people with me to experience the other safaris Cubs Expedition could offer.

Aa such, I highly recommend Cubs Expedition for your future safaris in Tanzania!

Good organization and very friendly
5/5

Very good organization, Cubs Expeditions does a good job as an intermediary organization! They offer safari and Kilimanjaro tours, which I both booked and was very satisfied. The price is okay, there are organizations with higher but also some with lower prices, here you are roughly in the middle of the field. The organization of the tours is very good and especially before and after the tours you get a lot of support from the friendly "Mr. T". The Kilimanjaro tours are led by a guide named William, whom I can warmly recommend! He is extremely experienced, friendly and makes sure that you survive the tour on the highest mountain in Africa. All in all I am very satisfied!

The best team to make your dreams come true!
5/5

The trip was organized at a high level. All points of the program implemented in every detail. Amazing views. My husband and I both felt special. Thank you very much for the opportunity to see great views, birds, animals. Sunrise - a view like opening the door to paradise. Travel comfort is 100% guaranteed. The guide and cook are exceptional people. They cared for us a lot. Food while traveling was great. Everything fresh and cooked during Safari. Fun nights in tents. Very safe. After the tour, Twalbu took us to the very remote place where our hotel was located. On the way to Moshi, he easily took us to Tengeru to the Polish Exile Cemetery. The road was not easy. There are no words to show how much we enjoy the company's care and great experience. Anyone who wants to be pampered should take advantage of this company. Twalbu you are special. Thank you for everything. Boss, you have exceptional, wonderful employees. Thank you very much!

Best time in my life!
5/5

We had a 5 day Safari Tour with Cub expedition in Tansania.
Communication before the trip began was perfect and smooth.
Hamphry was always nice to us and gave us all needed information. He even called us to inform us clearly.
When we arrived in Tanzania, Arusha he picked us up and briefed us quickly.
The next day our Safari started with our AMAZING AND MOST SMARTED guide in the world! We did Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guid Amani showed us the Big 5 IN ONE DAY!!! He was able to answer all questions we asked very well. I really profited from his knowledge. He has a biiiiiig knowledge about wildlife! We saw soo many animals: lions, Leopards, hyenas,cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, gnus and much more animals. Also he was sooo open minded, patient and sooooo funny! While the 5 day tour we had a chef who joined us to cook for us. Our cook Ally is crazy in cooking. His meals are not from this world! We never had lunchboxes! He always cooked fresh in our wildlife Lodges for us. This trip was not only a Safari tour but also a food tour for us! He also was so nice and funny! We loved Allys food so much that I was so sad when it was time to say goodbye.
Our Lodges where always so nice and clean. We even woke up in Serengeti with a giant Giraffe infront our door.
The trip was so amazing that i would do it 1000 times again! Thank you Hamphry, thank you Mr. T, thank you Amani and thank you Ally!
We had the best time with you guys! We will never forget you and this trip! We really love you!
Hopefully ANOTHER ONE in future!

Fantastic!
5/5

We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The accomodations were comfortable and charming. Everything was well organized. Humphrey is the head of the company and he did a great job in taking care of everything. He is super friendly and helpful.

We went to Tarangire, Serengeti (3 days) and Ngorongoro.

Most importantly, the staff on our tour was amazing!
Amany, the tour guide and driver is very very knowlegeable: a real expert when it comes to any aspects of wildlife. Absolutely amazing! He explains things very well and knows exactly what to do in order to spot animals. Sometimes he spots a little thing that we didnt even perceive and in the end we saw incredible things like Leopards dragging prey on a tree. A fantastic guide! Also Ally, our chef was simply fantastic. He cooked fantastic food: absolutely delicious, the best food we had during our entire vacation. Moreover, he is also an expert in wildlife. Ally and Amany are both super nice guys with a great personality. It is nice to have them around. We had so much fun and became real friends. In total, there was nothing left to be desired! We saw loads of animals (the big 5 of course, and many more) in many different situations and learnt so many things. Wonderful! Thank you!

Greatest experience
5/5

One of the greatest experience in my life.

We booked a 4 days Safari Tour with Cubs Expeditions (1 Day Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti, 1 Day Ngorongoro) and it was great. Everything was perfectly organized and the organisator (Humphrey) was always available (before we arrived in Arusha and during our Safari).
Our Safsri Tour was also great because of our Personal Chef (Ally) and our Tourguide & Driver Amani. We had so much fun with these two guys.

Amani is not only a good driver. He has also a big knowledge about the parks and the animals. You realize that he loves his job and he has more than 10 years of experience. With his experience and his patience we saw the big 5 in one day.

Ally is also a great person (funny) and a really good Cook. He cooked 3 times a day for us and the food was always fantastic.

I can only recommend cub expeditions and if you have the opportunity try to book the combination of Amani & Ally.

Great experience. Would book it again!
5/5

I went to this safari with my husband and two of our friends. All of us were so glad that we booked this tour. It was so amazing. I really can recommend this to everyone who want to have a great safaritour! Also other clients that we met on this Safari were very happy and satisfied. This showed me that also other people were happy and that this company is very good!

Humphrey is the head of this Company. He is very polite and take a lot of time to answer all of our questions to give us a good feeling.

Amany was our tour guide and driver. This man is amazing. If you come to safari you have to book this trip with him!
He is an expert and his knowlodge about wildlife is fantastic. Amany answers all of our questions. He put a lot of effort to make sure that we spot all the animals (also the BIG 5). We had 5 great days with him and enjoyed every moment.
We will come back again to see the big migration. But we would do this just with him! No one else!

Last but not least i have to write something about our personal chef in this 5 days. Oh my god. Ally is a genius when it comes to food. During our five days we had fantastic food. It was by far the best food we had during our vacation! We all wanted to take Ally with us to Germany in order to enjoy his food everyday. We will miss his delicious food.

I CAN RECOMMEND TO BOOK THESE TWO GUYS (AMANY AND ALLY) IN COMBINATION. They are such a good team. We loved them!

Inoubliable expérience - organisation parfaite, staff professionnel, expérimenté et passionné
5/5

Amazing experience! Wonderful organisation, experienced guide and chief we called Mr Delicious! We had a 5 days safari my girlfriend and I and saw the big 5 in beautiful landscapes. After a benchmark of all guides we selected Cubs Expedition for the proposed tour and competitive prices. The organiser answered all the questions we had (and more) and arranged everything for us: accommodation, foods & beverage, airports transit - everything we needed ! During the safari our experienced and joyful guides shared with us all the history, tips and knowledge about the animals, vegetation and local people (the Maasai but not not only). He made us discovered the big 5, the ugly 5 and more, always arranging the experience based on our desire without following all the other tour cars that were running fast and grouping.. The chief made for us exceptional traditional breakfasts, meals and dinners (not the lunch boxes..) with passion to give us all the energy we needed - his smile and laugh was always so good to hear and see. Can you imagine having hot traditional beef sauce & fresh vegetables in the middle of Serengeti? :)
It’s not easy to choose a safari tour but with Cubs Expedition we were very very satisfied and this is an experience we will remember all our life! We recommend without any hesitation Cubs Expedition

Perfect Safari
5/5

Amazing safari ! We did a 5 days private safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara)
First of all, Humphrey is very professional and will answer all your questions very quickly before doing the safari.
And regarding the safari itself everything was perfect. Our guide was very friendly and knew everything about wildlife ! We learned many things and he was always happy to answer our questions. The game drives were perfect and our guide went beyond our desires.
The food was made by a chef and was very tasty (no lunch boxes but hot meals every day for lunch and dinner and we are talking about typical meals : beef stew, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits…). The accommodations were amazing. We slept inside Serengeti National Park and woke up next to girafe…
We saw many animals and the big 5! You can book with this company eyes closed.
What else to say ? Thank you again Cubs Expeditions we will remember this safari for the rest of our lifes.
