A totally amazing experience
5/5

The safari has been great: we saw all the animals in the Serengeti Park and Ngorogoro Crater. The guide and driver did an excellent job, as well as the chefs and the rest of the staff. Campings and accomodations were also appropriated and allow us to enjoy an unforgettable experience. Totally recommendable!!!

really well organized
5/5

I did a three day group sharing safari with this company and it was really nice. The communication with Humphrey was really good and alway, when I had questions or a little problem, he was always by my side and helped me. If you are searching for a low budget safari, in which you have al the efforts, a safari can have, this company is a really good choice!

Absolute amazing!
5/5

Had an absolute amazing experience with Cubs, would definitely recommend booking with them. Humphrey is really great, answer all your questions within minutes and want to make sure you have the best time. He even met up with me at my hotel both before the safari tour, to ensure I had everything I needed and had a driver taking me to the closest ATM and shop. And after to ask me about my trip and if i enjoyed everything.

The safari itself was mind blowing, we saw all big 5 and our guide went the extra mile making sure we saw all of them. Our chef made delicious food and we all had a great time.

I would recommend everyone to book with Cubs!

Great Safari Experience
5/5

After climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Cubs Expedition we book 4 day Safari with Humphrey. We could not choose a better company for our Safari tour. We visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro crater and everything went according to plan. We had two different guides during our Safari but both made sure we enjoyed our time as much as possible. They made sure we see as many animals as possible and went beyond our expectations to try to find the big 5. In the end, we succeeded in finding BIG 5, which would never have happened without our guide. The plan was well executed, the camping was very nice, and the guides are very knowledgeable about animals. They will answer all your questions, and when you stop to see animals they will give you extended information about animals you see. Even the schedule of the Safari was up for discussion, one day we asked our guide to start very early, so we could be game driving before sunrise and nothing was a problem. Amazing service.

Overall, our experience with Humphrey was perfect. He helped us in every way during our stay. Not just with booking Safari and climbing Kilimanjaro, but with everything, including running errands around Arusha, helping us with withdraw money from trusted ATMs, buying food, visiting markets to buy souvenirs, late check-out in the hotel, etc. Humphrey really loves what he does and he is a good and trusted representative of the Tanzanian community.

Last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious, we could not believe what our chef could cook for us in the middle of nowhere in Savana. Overall we would choose Cubs Expedition again for our Safari and climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. I can highly recommend Humphrey´s company Cubs Expedition.

Friendly, personal, amazing experience
5/5

The second half of our experience with Cubs Expeditions (after a week climbing Kilimanjaro) was a 5-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.

After a week of camping, we opted for the midrange to stay in lodges. The lodges in the Serengeti (Heritage Tented Lodge) and Ngorongoro (Rhino Lodge) were such cool experiences being right in the nature and even seeing animals by our rooms. The amenities are somewhat basic, but nice beds and sheets and a shower! Plus good food. Following in line with our experience climbing Kili, the food even for lunch each day was delicious. Others has boxed lunches, we had real meals!

Now, onto the good stuff. We saw EVERYTHING you could want to see. Even after losing some time due to an accident that blocked the road to Serengeti and some other car mishaps, I didn’t feel at all that we missed out. The days can be long and the roads can be tiring, but our guide/driver Amani was so experienced, he dealt with every issue and found us every animal you can imagine! He got us insanely close to some amazing wildlife - tons of lions, lion cubs, cheetahs and cheetah cubs, elephants, Buffalo, hyenas, ostriches, hippos, giraffes, zebras, baboons, Wildebeest, and on and on. We even saw a leopard. And a few rhinos (from afar) in Ngorongoro! I am not sure there was any type of animal that we didn’t see. We also appreciated that he also took some opportunities to get away from all the other safari vehicles and explore on our own. Sometimes it’s worth getting into the big line of cars to see something interesting, but it’s definitely nice to just soak in the beauty and maybe even see some animals without a bunch of cars around!

For two weeks of our honeymoon we were completely in the hands of Cubs Expeditions and we couldn’t be happier. Humphrey was extremely responsive and it was such a relief to have someone there for us the whole time.

Best Kilimanjaro experience - 8 day Lemosho
5/5

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.

One week experience
5/5

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.

Materuni waterfalls and hot springs
5/5

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.
