Amazing safari experience with Cubs Expeditions - We just came back from a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Cubs Expedition, and it was amazing and unforgettable. Our trip included Tarangire, Serengeti East, Center and North (where we were lucky enough to see the Great Migration – absolutely breathtaking!) - sleeping 2 nights at Seronera - and the Ngorongoro Crater.
After asking for several offers from different companies, and reading a lot about the companies on internet, Trip Advisor, and SafariBookings website, we've decided to make our group safari with Cubs Expeditions, which is a reliable company. Being in contact with Humphrey has always been easy and stress-free. He always answered to our messages very quickly and at any time, be it via E-mail or WhatsApp, which gave us a lot of confidence and helped us to organize everything for our trip.
Our guide Said was fantastic – always helpful, very knowledgeable about the animals, nature, and local culture. He really made every day special, making all efforts to ensure we could spot, among others, the Big 5, as well as the wildbeests and zebras crossing the Mara River - both activities successful. Moreover, he organized with us a visit to a Masai community, which was a great and full of culture experience, too.
We also want to thank our chef Moses, who cooked tasty, fresh, and different meals every day, even out in the wild. The quality and care in every meal were far beyond what we expected.
The Cubs Expedition team was also super reliable: when our flight changed and we arrived much later at the more distant Kilimanjaro airport, they still arranged the transfer perfectly and greeted us with a smile.
A few extra tips for future travelers:
* If you are coming from Europe: We recommend paying the rest amount in US dollars instead of Euros, because the exchange rate is usually better. So, try to organize dollars in your home country, and bring them with you.
* Remember that, since this is a group safari, some people in the car might be from another agency, but that’s really not a problem for us – it all works smoothly.
I can truly recommend Cubs Expedition to anyone wanting to enjoy a true safari adventure. Thank you Humphrey, Said, Moses, and the whole Cubs Expeditions team for giving us memories that will last forever!

Amazing Safari with the Best Guide! - The safari was an unforgettable experience, but what really made it special was our guide Eli. He was incredibly funny, knowledgeable and passionate, pointing out animals we never would have spotted on our own. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, but even beyond that, the diversity of wildlife was breathtaking. He did everything he could to take us to the best spots, always making sure we had the perfect angle for photos and the best chance to see as many animals as possible. Spotting a ryno in the bushes just for us is a memory I’ll cherish forever.
The whole trip was well organized, and the scenery was just stunning. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience - This was our first time in Africa and definitely an unforgettable trip for us. Our guide Elii was very knowledgeable about the animal and the local cultures and very patient explaining them to us. He was also very passionate and drove us far away from the crowds to search for different animals. We saw quite a number of unique species and also the big five. We saw over 50 lions in this trip! If anyone is looking for a great time in Tanzania, I would definitely recommend this company and Elii to you!

Great safari experience - This was a great safari experience. We booked a budget safari and got to see most of what we wanted to see for an amazing price compared to other companies I looked at. We saw the big 5. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the great migration due to it happening a little late this year.
Eli is a great guide and very funny. Definitely worth booking just from the price alone.

Absolutely recommendable - I booked the 6 days camping safari in Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. A true adventure! Everything went smoothly – something I’ve unfortunately experienced differently in other countries on similar tours.
Eli was available before and after the tour to answer any questions and explained everything clearly. Our guide Edgar, who was our driver, caretaker, and listener all in one, made sure we got to see the Big Five. With a lot of patience and humor, he endured our group of young and diverse people (we were really more than crazy and super silly 😀).
The campsites were basic, equipped with the essentials, and sometimes had no power outlets or only cold water. That’s not for everyone, and it’s something to be aware of. For me, it was just part of the adventure!
We had plenty of food and drinks — and thankfully, no boring lunch boxes like other tour operators offer. The food was excellent and perfectly suitable for me as a vegetarian.
I recommend this safari to anyone who wants an authentic experience at a great price-performance ratio. I, for one, can’t stop raving about it and definitely want to come back again!

Unforgettable safari trip! - We had a really unforgettable time! The organization was perfect. From airport pickup to all tours to the various national parks to communication, everything was really straightforward and we could enjoy the trip completely relaxed. We had a contact person at all times who was at our side with advice and deeds. Our tour guide David was super friendly, funny and told us a lot about the different animals and areas. We've learned a lot! All were very competent, courteous and friendly. When my friend forgot his power bank and binoculars in the car at the end of the tour, both were brought directly to the hotel after a short time.
It was also no problem at all to adjust the trip a bit - for example, we arrived very late in the evening on the first day and could not make the city tour in Arusha that day. It was no problem at all to postpone this until our last day.
Overall, we are totally satisfied and enthusiastic! Thanks for this great experience!

Alles on point - We were in Africa for the first time and could not have imagined the safari better.
We arrived very late in the evening and were able to put the city trip on another day. We were picked up on time and prepared that night.
The safari was very good, we will never forget the impressions.
Everyone was very nice and also the food was very good for Europeans.
I would recommend it to anyone!

Great safari company! - We had a great time on this Safari, the organization was top, food was plenty and most importantly we saw many animals every day. Special thanks to Humphrey for always reacting quickly on questions and also short notice requests from our side, can't express how grateful we are.
