Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful 6 days thanks to the whole team at Cubs Expeditions!
Humphrey, the manager, is very attentive, available and responsive. The welcome in the hotel in Arusha was great and we’ve been placed in a quiet hotel with a lovely staff, green surroundings and a swimming pool. We had a small preparatory meeting before our safari trip with Humphrey who answered all our questions and even organised us a small tour around Arusha as a bonus prior to our safari trip.
With our guide Fedelis we travelled around Arusha and did an additional trip to Materuni waterfalls and coffee plantation. Fedelis was very kind, humble and friendly and gave us Swahili lessons to familiarise us with Tanzanian customs. He was always on time and going an extra mile to show us the additional points of interests along the way.
As a main part of our safari trip we covered 4 beautiful national parks: Tangarire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara. The experience of the crew allowed us to discover the best of each park while seeing almost every animal in a Big Five and many others! The guide explained us a lot of things about the fauna and flora and the cook prepared a hot, delicious meal for us every day at lunchtime and every evening (unlike other operators who were providing some lunch boxes). The breakfasts were enormous and all meals were done in a beautiful settings of nature.
There is the possibility to charge the phones in the jeep and a wifi is also available in some campsites, although the camps are rather spartan but the essentials are present. The magic of these camps is to sleep in the middle of the parks and animals just passing by your tents. It is necessary to bring a torch for the camps and warm clothes for the crater but all the material for the camping is provided. The hint is also to bring your binocluars to have the best visibility during the safari.
You can pay for the trip in USD or TZS via bank transfer without any commmission fees which was a great solution for us as we didn’t have the option to withdraw so much cash in both currencies.
In addition, the transfer from/to Kilimanjaro or Arusha airports are included as well as hotel accommodation and breakfast in Arusha so there are no last minute surprises and everything is on time.
Our stay was truly exceptional and will be remembered for a long time. Thank you again / Asante sana and we recommend the entire team of Cubs Expeditions!

4 adorable days in contact with a wild nature
It was an awesome experience to get to the safari with Cubs Expeditions! Many thanks to Humphrey, he was in touch every time when I was asking him for anything. Everything was well-coordinated: airport transfers, hotel check-in, safari itself. The food was varied every day :) Our guide was a real professional, i think that he knows everything about Africa nature and history.
A lot of animals we saw really close, just in 2 meters of our car. Zebras and baboons are came to the Simba camp, and they almost didn't afraid of humans. The car was comfortable, it has a few binoculars and everyone can use it. We were surprised that there were no mosquitos. On the way to Serengeti park, Ngorongoro and Tarangire we met a lot of masai childrens and treated them with some sweets through the opened car window.
Many thanks to Cubs Expeditions!

We booked the day trip to Materuni Waterfalls, and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you Humphrey for organizing this day for us, and also making possible to add the hot springs, we loved it. Most important, the company and guide from great Mr. T!! He went far and beyond to make everything perfect, 10 out of 10 it was, we totally recommend this day to everyone.

Materuni waterfalls and hot springs
We booked with cubs expeditions and it couldn't have been a better decision! Humphrey advised us on everything and detailed the itinerary of the day, and our driver and guide was the best we had in all our experiences. Thank you MR. T!!
I recommend this company without a doubt, everything came out perfect and we had a beautiful day with my girlfriend where in the morning we visited materuni waterfalls and then experienced the process of how coffee is made (by the way it is delicious), and in the afternoon we relaxed in the warm waters of hot springs (highly recommended).
Next time in Tanzania I already know who to take the tours with.

One week experience
We really liked the experience, I think you have to do it once in your lifetime, Amani (the safari guide) really did his best to give us the best possible views, which were really amazing. I recommend to go in the low season so you can have few people and you can enjoy the parks.

Best Kilimanjaro experience - 8 day Lemosho
We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Cubs Expedition in July 2023 and I can highly recommend Humphreys company for the climb. Everything was perfectly prepared.
Even before we have booked the climb, Humphrey communicated with me through WhatsApp and answered all my questions (and there were a lot of questions) within minutes. Nothing was problem for Humphrey. He gave us all information we needed for preparing the climb. After we arrived in Tanzania he took a great care of us, from picking us from airport, to secure hotel for us, providing driver for us to ran errands etc.
Climbing Kilimanjaro with Humphreys crew was very smooth. We climbed with two guides, Izadin and Joseph and I can highly recommend their crew. Very reliable, well organized, knowledgeable, helpful and always friendly. The services were top notch, they even went beyond our expectations.
For a medium size company they provided well quality tents and sleeping bags, amazing crew of people and absolutely amazing food. We have not seen any difference in service between our company and other much, much more expensive companies. We were literary blown away by how amazing the food was during our climb, we even got popcorn as a snack every day :)
Our two guides Izadin and Joseph made sure that we feel safe all the time and that we exactly know what was going on. Always extremely helpful and caring. During one night I experienced symptoms of high altitude sickness and they made sure I know what to do, they took great care of me, coming to check up on me regularly and overall made sure I feel safe.
However the biggest advantage of choosing a really great guides came with summit night. We successfully finished the climbed just because of our amazing guides, who motivated us during the whole climb, helped us with all bags and literally dragged us to the top. Their main priority was our safety and finishing our goal. And as they said, their job is to do anything possible, so we can reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
I cannot be happier for choosing Tanzanian based company for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and I would definitely recommend Cubs Expeditions for your Mount Kilimanjaro experience, you will not be disappointed.
