Friendly, personal, amazing experience
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.

Great Safari Experience
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.

Absolute amazing!
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!

really well organized
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!

A totally amazing experience
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!!!

Amazing experience with four days tour
They picked us from airport and next day, we started the four days tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We could see various animals including five stars. It was spectacular experience. Our stay in camp site was comfortable, we could use electricity and hot water.
The guides (Humphrey and Amos) were kind and flexible for our request and I enjoyed a lot.

Experience unique
We got Humphrey's contact on the recommendation of a friend. We wanted a 5 days safari and I have to say he was very good organizing our tour. Always present, he is ready to answer all our questions, he has helped us in times of difficulty and I highly recommend him. As for the safari, it's a very unique experience and blew us away. The guide, Walhoo, accommodated us and managed to show us everything we dreamed of, not to mention the truly excellent cuisine.
