Stunning!
Humphrey organized everything for us very last minute! He even prepared a safari schedule for us that would accommodate our time and finances perfectly. He organized accommodation with food included for three nights including the nights before and after the safari days. We felt very safe and taken care of. We were picked up immediately from the bus station in Arusha and taken to our hotel where Humphrey gave us a run down of what the days would look like. We went to Tarangire National Park and Ngorogoro Crater and had a great time at both parks and saw so much! I would definitely recommend booking your safari with Cubs expeditions, you won’t regret it.

Experience that exceeded our expectations
Parks visited: Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro.
My friend and I booked this trip to celebrate my bday as I'd always been keen to do a safari in Tanzania and it was amazing. The team for the safari, the people, landscapes, food, and the animals were all greeeat. It was a 6-people group tour, we found out who the other 4 people were once we arrived to Arusha, but it was a match! Our guide (Julius) and cook (Nixon), made the trip a wonderful moment too. They were both really arranging, both for finding the animals that interested us and for the choice of food. You wont be disappointed by the food (even if it consists of +/- the same elements every day, the sauces they make are delicious).
We slept in tents for the nights between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro game drives and the fact that you sleep in tents close to/in the national parks is an experience on its own! Not because you couldn't do it anywhere else, but because you go to sleep or wake up and there are all sort of wild animals around! (which you don't get in Paris, where we live). We even had a toilet-blocking elephant for a day who was eating up all the trees around our tents (luckily none fell on top of our tent). It also gives you the chance of looking at the animals for longer than in the game drives and take some more pics 😉
We managed to see the famous "big five". I don't know if it's because of the period of the year we visited (oct 29-nov 6), but there are cubs of all animals everywhere (so expect to see baby animals around). We loved photographing those cuties!
The parks are all different. Although people say that Tarangire and Lake Manyara are similar, the distribution of animals is different and you get to see more Baobabs in Tarangire. Serengeti definitely needs a visit of at least 2 full days, the place is huge, and the more time spent there, the more chances of finding leopards and cheetahs (there are less easy to find than lions)! Ngorongoro is magical, but it is definitely colder than the other parks (so don't forget your warm clothes for when the sun isn't there).
We had to stay over a whole extra day in Arusha before our flight back home (just because the flights were cheaper ^^) and the people from Cubs Exp. were super arranging for that too. The price is excellent for what you get and Tanzania is a perfect place for a first safari!
Our final message to all the people we met: Thanks for the experience, we keep a warm memory in our hearts!

Perfect adventure
Great safari !!
Top organization from the start of our pick-up at Kilimanjaro airport until our drop-off on return
Careful driver and very knowledgeable about parks and animals
Always at our disposal to help us discover this beautiful country
Very good food and prepared on site by our cook
Accommodation in tents is rudimentary but with showers, toilets, and especially in the environment of animals
A very beautiful adventure which allowed us to discover the parks and the animals for a reasonable budget
For me and my daughter, surely the best way to discover Tanzania and its magnificent parks
To advise without hesitation !!!!

The best team to make your dreams come true!
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!

Mandela was so kind and knowledgeable!
Twalbu and Humphrey were amazing hosts from start to finish. We were picked up at the airport and they made sure we had a place to stay and dropped us with our guide the next morning for the safari. Afterwards, they even got us bus tickets to our next location and waited with us at the bus depot to make sure we boarded okay! The safari itself was great as well. Our guide made sure we saw so much and the chef kept us very well fed. It was a great experience and I can’t recommend this company highly enough!

The safari was awesome, and Twalbu and Humphrey were so helpful from start to finish. They really care about their customers and made it an incredible experience we will never forget. Mandela, our guide, was a great dude and very knowledgeable - would recommend him and the company to anyone.

Unforgettable
As a first-timer on an African safari, I can not compare my experience to any other. I can only say that I enjoyed it a lot, I saw many unbelievable scenes involving African wildlife, and was treated like a VIP by our hosts. It was a lot of value for a reasonable amount of money. In one word: unforgettable!
