Perfectly organized safari at an unbeatable price
We did a 3-day safari through the Serengeti and the Ngrongoro Crater with this organization, including an overnight stay in a hotel before and after the safari. From the beginning, communication with Humphrey was fast, all our questions were answered in detail and he always tried to make all requests possible. We were picked up and returned on time from the airport of our choice. The Venice Hotel is the only point of criticism for us. The staff were very friendly and the room was nice. However, we had our laundry done there and ended up paying $100 for 2 machines of laundry. An absolutely utopian price. We agreed on 40$, although even this price is absolutely unjustified. The safari was very well organized and the guide had an answer to every question. Above all, the cook Joachim conjured up extremely tasty food, was infinitely attentive and always tried to fulfill our every wish. We spent one night in the lodge and one night in a tent. The lodge was excellent. The camping was very adventurous. You should have done it once, but only for one night at most. Unfortunately, the mattress and sleeping bag were not very hygienic. Due to the fact that we were very satisfied with the entire organization, we spontaneously decided to book a 1-day tour to the Chemka Hotsprings and the Materuni Waterfall. Here, too, we were picked up on time. The guide Nassibu was also very attentive and was able to answer all our questions.
Overall, we would definitely recommend booking through this organization. We are very satisfied and the prices are unbeatable!

Day hike in Shira Plateau and day bike trip to Lake Myanara
We did a one day hike in Shira Plateau and a one day bike trip in Lake Myanara/ Mto Wu Mba village and had a great time on both trips. Everything was well organised, Humphrey was very responsive to all messages before and after the trips, we had fantastic guides on both trips and thought we got a very good value for what we paid. The bike tour didn’t actually go to lake Myanara park but the outskirts, but the guide did give us the option to pay for the entrance fees which we didn’t decide to do as we still saw lots of animals on the outskirts. Would definitely recommend Cubs Expeditions and would use them again

Amazing
Cubs Expeditions managed to organize us a beautiful trip, including 6 days climbing kilimanjaro and 9 days of safari. The team that accompanied us to kilimanjaro was amazing, we felt safe all along the ascent, with always very good meals and of course incredible landscapes. Many thanks to Rama and Eli, our two guides.
Humphrey organized a tailor-made 9-day safari for us, allowing us to enjoy the different natural parks of the country, each as magnificent as the other (including Serengeti, Tagangire, Ngorongogo). Amani, our guide during the safari was really great, we were able to admire the great migration and a lot of wild animals, once again with good meals ans good vibes.
Thank you again to Humphrey who was really adaptable and answered all of our questions.
It was an amazing experience, we recommend!

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.
