5.00I had the chance to have an absolutely exceptional safari experience. Our guide, Fisso, was remarkably kind and professional. Always smiling and attentive, he made us discover all animals with passion and precision. I recommend it without any hesitation! The food was also perfect: Chef Issa is a real master in the kitchen, every meal was a delight. The accommodation, meanwhile, combined comfort and quality, making the stay even more enjoyable. In short, this safari will remain etched in my memory as the best experience of my life.
Excellent experience with excellent team

5.00I would like to thank Humphrey on behalf of myself and all my family for hosting us. The team was extremely professional and kind. We felt safe and enjoyed a combination of deep understanding of respect to hospitality and being professional at the same time. Eli is super guide with real passion to sharing his knowledge and guided us safely to the best sites in a very smart way. Khaled spoiled us with his cooking and always kept saying yes with a smile to anything we asked for. Moreover, I will personally recommend all my friends to use their services.
What an amazing experience!

5.00Our safari experience with Cub Expeditions was magnificent. The booking process was very smooth, thanks to the prompt service, flexibility, and advice of the tour manager, Humphrey, who helped us define the safari months before our trip to Tanzania, adapting it without any problem to our dates, circumstances, and requests (we wanted a guide who spoke Spanish). The entire agency staff has been very professional, from Humphrey himself to the drivers who took us from the airport and served as our guides in Arusha. We would like to make special mention of the two people who accompanied us during the five-day safari: Halidy (the chef) and Samuel (the guide and driver) Regarding the Spanish-speaking guide and driver of the safari jeep, Samuel, his work has been excellent: he knows the parks, the animals, their habits perfectly... he looked after us with patience, prudence, and kindness. Cub Expeditions is fortunate to have him. As for Chef Halidy, he has been a fantastic cook, who has also been very empathetic and concerned about us at all times. The meals (all: breakfast, lunch, dinner): meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, soups, rice, pasta, fresh fruit, crepes... spectacular. He has even taken an interest in our preferences, allergies, and eating habits. Our safari took place in the parks of Tarangine, Serengeti, Norongoro and Lake Manyara. Totally recommended. We saw almost every animal possible except Rhino and Leopard. In conclusion, Cub Expeditions is a perfect agency, managed by professionals, offering an excellent value safari experience. Totally recommended.

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Cubs Expeditions. They were brilliant at replying and organizing airport transfer. They also organised accomodation at the beginning and end of the tour, which was included in the price. The price overall was very reasonable. We visited 4 national parks over 5 days with our excellent guide Eli! Eli was amazing! He spoke really good English, explained everything well and was great at helping to navigate the parks for us to see all the animals. He was so friendly and we really felt this added to the experience massively. The food was good and we got hot lunches and dinners which was great. Overall, I would highly recommend Cubs and out guide Eli for a safari in Tanzania!
Exceptional Safari with Eli

5.00The trip was outstanding! Our guide Eli was excellent, he was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. The trip covered 3 national parks and was a mix of camping and lodges, we had 3 great meals a day including hot lunch and dinner prepared by the chef. We saw many amazing views of animals including over 30 lions in total, some cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and many more. I would highly recommend Cubs and Eli to anyone, the price is very competitive and if you don't fancy the camping you can ask for a more premium accommodation.

Five days in Tanzanian Safari Parks

5.00Great experience. We visited 4 different safari park and saw all sorts of local fauna. Organization with Humphrey was easy. He was available for any question we had and helped us planning as we wished. The tour was with a guide/driver and a group of 6 tourists. The guide was helpful, may be the only note is that he could have provided more insights on the animals and local culture. Food was really nice, we had a private chef for our group who stayed with us during the days in Serengeti and Gorongoro, where we have been camping. Other days were in a lodge, also quite nice. We are generally happy with the experience and we would certainly recommend!
