5.00We had an amazing experience on our safari. When I saw how vast the Serengeti is, I thought it would be very difficult to spot animals — but we saw almost all of them! We saw around 20 lions in just two days, some of them incredibly close, which was truly unforgettable. Our guide, Eliis, was fantastic. At first, he seemed a bit serious, but once he realized he could be part of our group, everything changed. We laughed a lot together, and he shared so much interesting information about the animals. This really shows how adaptable he is — if you just want a quiet driver, he’ll respect that. But we wanted someone to share the experience with us, and he became a great part of it. The cook was also excellent. The food was tasty, and we always had enough water and even some Coke with our meals.
Best experience - best tour organiser ever!

5.00I cant reckon Humphrey and his amazing team (shout out to Eli) enough. Humphrey is so responsive, organised & available to answer ANY & ALL of your questions. He was able to help us change accommodation to suit our budget (we camped 1 night and lodged 2 nights) and he organised our transport from Arusha Tanzania back to nairobi Kenya. The tour itself - i don't know where to begin. Our guides were amazing, Saleh & Robert were experts in finding the most elusive animals - we got to see the big 5 and more!!! Two different leopard sitings, three cheetah brothers + a mum & her two cubs cheetahs, lionesses with their 8 cubs after a kill, rhinos in the ngoro crater. It was honestly one of the best experiences we have had - the guides were great, friendly, we laughed alot & we learnt alot. There was no silly question. The food cooked by Ghadia was amazing, some local Tanzanian curry's plus stewed veggies and rice, then some pizza, chicken, soups and always the best breakfast. Our itinerary was (fully organised by Humphrey): - 1st night in Arusha Hotel - drive to & enter Tarangire National Park (freaking awesome for elephants & Giraffes) - stayed locally that night - enter the Serengetti! - stayed INSIDE the Serengeti in a lodge and was scary & exciting - heard lions roar and hyenas calling to each other. They come up to your lodging!! But they have Masai guarding the camp. This was something else - we were recommended to this and im glad we did, but it was scary listening to that all night even though you are 100% safe. - game drive in the morning then head to the Ngoro Crater rim - game drive through the Ngoro crater - it feels like Jurassic Park. You go through so many different areas that range from wetlands to bush to fields. Stunning + amazing at the same time - then back to Arusha for the night - bus over the border back to nairobi to the airport Only thing we would of done differently - went to Zanzibar after the tour to relax. It's a jam packed 4 days but it is worth it. Ps a small tip: do plan to tip your tour guide 10 usd per day per person. And 5 usd per day per person for the chef. Get Tanzanian shillings out to tip other service providers through out your travels + your lodges/hotels. Example: we tipped 10k shillings to the bus bag loader as a thanks, we also tipped 10 usd to the lodge in the Serengeti for all the service workers they provided.

5.00This was truly a great experience. We were put in a nice hotel for the night before and after the safari in Arusha. The safari itself was wonderful. Our guide was incredible and was great at helping us spot animals both in Serengeti and in Ngorongoro crater. Our chef was amazing and the food was really delicious throughout. The camping was great too with the tents set up for us and the campsites having washrooms Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely recommend

5.00Humphrey's Team are true professionals, I highly recommend Cubs Expeditions to anyone who wants to see the animals of Africa and have an unforgettable trip. We had a four day adventure with Cubs Expedions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks, the driver/guide showed us these magical lands, and childhood dreams from Grzimek’s books finally became a reality! The trip was perfectly organized and the chef is a wizard =)
