It is everything you expect and more!
Before we even arrived in Tanzania I had conversations with Humphrey who was very accessible for all our questions.
They listen carefully to your needs and put that first.
We were picked up on time late in the evening and brought to the hotel.
From this moment our safari started. We have been able to experience fantastic game drives. Amani is very professional in what he does. He has a lot of knowledge and a pleasant personality.
Everyday again, Isa ensured that we could try tasty traditional food.
We have been able to admire many beautiful animals up close.
A trip you will never forget, thanks to you guys. Thanks again and hope to see you next time!

Great human being
I had good experience with Cubs Expedition. They were always friendly and smiling. Laterally every day! That makes the journey also great. Besides that they were really experienced and the serves were great. When I had questions about places for buying gifts, best food and other stuff they helped me a lot with it. For all those reason I recommend Cubs Expediton!

Well versed in all aspects of wildlife.
The safari was an adventure....we got a chance to see almost all of the Big 5 minus the great rhino. We also witnessed a Leopard prey upon a gazelle, we were very lucky to witness this. I would definitely do this safari again & recommend it to all seeking an exciting adventure.

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 !!!!

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!

Great safari
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.

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!

Excellent but ask about tips!
7 day Machame route on Kilimanjaro followed by 3 day safari at Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Trek was excellent. Guide was great, food fantastic (especially given we were camping on a mountain!). We finished in 6 days which we appreciated (as we were all able to summit successfully). Only issue here was with tips. We tipped the recommended amount according to the Tanzanian Porters Association but the guides and porters had been told to expect two-three times more. I would encourage speaking to Cubs when booking to clarify what exactly the expected tipping situation is. Especially as the staff were all so fantastic!
Safari was great. We didn’t see as many of the rare animals as we had been hoping but not through any fault of our guide. The camping was fine, but be aware that if you are in a group with an odd number of people you will be asked to share a tent with someone else. Perhaps to be expected for a shared safari but I think worth mentioning upfront.
Overall, we definitely recommend Cubs for both trekking and safaris (especially given their low price compared to most other companies) and it would have been 5/5 if the above issues had been mentioned to us beforehand so we knew better what to expect.
