Spectacular Safari with Cubs Expeditions thanks to Brayson and Elis
I came to my safari trip in Tanzania with very high expectations and, without a doubt, thanks to Cubs Expeditions, these have even been exceeded. The cook makes delicious food, the experience of listening to the animals of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro at night has been spectacular and very peaceful, but without a doubt Brayson and Elis have made everything even better, as they have treated us as if we were part of their family from the first moment and, in the end, we have almost become so, after so many hours and jokes together and I can say that, if one day they travel to Spain, they have their home in Spain. Brayson explains everything perfectly in Spanish, with all the details and answers all the questions in a very illustrative way. Elia is the essence of everything, cheerful, friendly and willing to make you enjoy the whole time. In addition, with him you will also practice your English and he ends up speaking more Spanish than he knows, as it was both on the days we went in a group and on the day we traveled with just the two of them (our safari was 3 days with a group of Spaniards in 2 jeeps and the last day we were alone). Do not hesitate to do the safari with this company by asking Humprey, who manages the trip and is also very attentive, to do it with Brayson and Elis.

Amazing experience
This safari with Cubs Expedition has been incredible. I really wanted to go on a safari and everything went great with them. They were very attentive at all times. We contacted this safari through Humprey, who was very attentive and friendly at all times. We had a cook who makes delicious food, with flavour and good quantities, and two guides, Brayson and Elis, who made everything even better, as they were attentive to us at all times and helped us with everything. They were two very friendly and approachable people who made us feel at home. Brayson speaks perfect Spanish and explains everything very well, making him a good guide in Spanish. Elis is a person who is open to everything and, above all, very approachable, who will brighten up your days with her jokes and joy.

Dan and Ian are haven't been honest with us. We were scammed over $20,000 US dollars!
Our family of 6 members booked an 11 day safari in Kenya for $21,400 US dollars. 10 days before leaving they said they were bankrupt and cancelled our trip. We were promised a full refund if we were patient. Over 22 months we were refunded $1380, but now Dan is missing and no longer answering emails or making any pretense of refunding us. It was pump and dump right up to the time of leaving for the holiday. We have lost over $20,000 and want to warn any further potential clients to STAY AWAY!!

A beautiful country with exceptional service industry and private wildlife encounters
We travelled through Uganda and Tanzania over three weeks. The time we spent in Uganda was incredible. The country is a lot quieter to travel through, which makes the game drives feel intimate when you have the wildlife all to yourself during encounters. Though it is not as popular as other destinations in Africa, it should be. The wildlife viewing was amazing, the accommodations (we stayed mid range) were way above anything we could have dreamed, and the service and kindness we experienced from locals was unmatched. The scenery was gorgeous, the varying landscapes accross the country were awe inspiring. My husband and I had the most memorable trip of our lives here and would recommend it to anyone.

Avoid this travel agency!
Our family was prepared for a Kenyan safari and 10 days before the trip, Denhum cancelled. 22 months later we received $1380 (of a total of $20,000). We believe Denhum's owner is a liar and scammer. Avoid this travel agency!

Very pleasant to deal with
Overall was very good. A bit of confusion about a few things at the accommodation we stayed at that they booked for us as part of a package, but I think this was probably related to the fact that the resort was new and a bit disorganized. I would book with Viatu again for sure. Well done.

Incredible
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari in Uganda led by our incredible guide, Nathan, and his wife, Guilian. From the moment we set out, it was clear that they were passionate about wildlife and dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience in this stunning country.
Nathan had an impressive depth of knowledge about Uganda's unique ecosystems, sharing fascinating insights about the diverse animals, plants, and landscapes we encountered. His keen eye for spotting wildlife allowed us to see a variety of animals up close, including majestic elephants, playful chimpanzees, and even the elusive mountain gorillas.
Guilian complemented Nathan perfectly, bringing her warmth and enthusiasm to the experience. Together, they created a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging questions and fostering engaging discussions among the group. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our experience, ensuring we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the journey.
The itinerary was well-planned, balancing thrilling game drives with opportunities to learn about local cultures and conservation efforts. The entire experience felt immersive and enriching, showcasing the best of Uganda’s natural beauty.
I highly recommend Nathan and Guilian to anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure in Uganda. Their passion, expertise, and warmth made our trip truly special. Thank you both for an amazing experience!

My Safari tour was such a value with excellence in coordination and communication.
Wines created the most beautiful memorable Safari for me (a solo female traveler) with superb communication and professionalism. She made sure every detail was looked after and went to extra efforts when my balloon company cancelled- she found another behind the scenes which I’d highly recommend doing. The balloon company was called Miracle experience over the Serengeti. Five stars for them too. I upgraded to sleep in hotels instead of tents and I was not disappointed with the hotels they set me up at They were all absolutely amazing. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe in their hands. May main driver was Simba who definitely knows where to find the animals. The only thing that I would dare to complain about is that there wasn’t air-conditioning and it was very hot. You could not have the windows up and it was dusty in the Serengeti. I brought a fan to try to share with everyone, but it just isn’t enough in the hot desert. Simba was amazing though, safe driver, and very friendly and we saw the Big 5 and plenty more!! . They coordinated everything. And the communication was completely clear. Thank you to Wines, Simba and everyone. Trip of a lifetime!!

Better than I could have imagined
These safaris were far better than I imagined. Francis had a great schedule helping us make the most of the time we had. We saw so many animals… chimpanzees, giraffes, elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles. I definitely recommend and hope to do more safaris again with them.
