A great experience with a great team!
We really enjoyed this experience, a great team! Our guide, Samuel, was very good, and he also had a Spanish banana, so it was perfect. We also had a chef who cooked very well! I highly recommend it if you want to experience an unforgettable adventure seeing the Big 5!
Hiking Mount Meru and 3 Day Safari
Humphrey, the manager of Cubs Expeditions, from the first contact worked on making our trip unforgettable. He customized our travel to our needs. All of this at a fair price, with the money staying locally instead of funding European travel agencies. All pick-ups, transfers, and lodging included.
We had a three day hike onto Mount Meru, where David and his team did an incredible job to take us to the summit and back safely, in spite of our average fitness. Watching the sun rise behind Mt Kilimanjaro - a once in a lifetime moment.
In the following three days, Eli was a wonderful safari guide. He showed us three National Parks, each with its special nature and different animals. Both David and Eli were experienced and knowledgeable guides, always helpful, always great to talk to, and to have fun together.
We highly recommend Humphrey and his team.

Great value for money
Great experience- well organised tour and our driver Godwin really knew how to get us in the right place at the right time to see Cheetahs, Leopards, Rhinos and Lions. You could pay twice as much for a tour and see much less than we did!

Better than expected
I was a little afraid about the tour because I didn't know anybody that has done the tours with them before.
I look for reviews online from different sources and that make me confident enough to take the "risk"
Before the trip: Humphrey always answered any doubt I had, and communication was great even when our time zones were completely different, expectations were clear about the prices and things included.
Arriving at Tanzania: Hudhaifa was waiting for me, I didn't have internet connection at the moment, but finding him took me less than 5min, we drove to the hotel and again he was helping me with any doubt, ir need I had.
Safari: One of the best experiences of my life, Eli was our guide/driver and he was amazing, his knowledge about the place is great, but he is also fun, relaxed and helpful, he could tell us what was going to happen before it happened (regarding animal behaviour), which is a good proof of all the experience he has, we were able to see a lot of different animals in just 3 days, car was comfortable and the food was so good, and different each time, we didn't eat the same thing every meal which is something I appreciate, unfortunately I forgot our chef name but he did also great.
The place is magical and it was more than I could have which and having all the wildlife so close is a surreal experience I will always remember.
Finally we head back to the hotel, next day Francis drove me to the airport (he also helped me the first day when I needed Tanzanian cash and took me to the ATM and back to the hotel)
A 5 star experience and worth all the time, money and effort I put into this trip.

Amazing 2 day Tanzania safari adventure (Tarangire + Ngorongoro)
Communication and booking with Humphrey was great and easy-going. Our driver Hudhaifa Hassan picked us up at our lodge near Kilimanjaro and brought us the Arusha where our 2 say safari to Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater started. From there our guide took over and we experienced an overall great safari with lots of animals sightings from lion to water buffalo. We especially liked Ngorongoro for its beautiful landscape and animal variety and quantity. The food we got served was always home coked and delicious. Our stay in Fanaka Lodge was comfortable. And the 4WD was spacious and modern and had an open roof for nice views. Generally, when doing such tours mind that the distances are longer than they seem and plan enough time between safari and flight or make sure to confirm your flight schedule with the tour operator as this caused quite some stress for us after the safari because we needed to catch an evening flight to Zanzibar after the safari and our guide didn’t plan enough time for the way back. Also, our guide was a good and safe driver but not the best guide because he merely provided any information about flora and fauna and preferred to speak Spanish with the other people on our tour. We would still recommend Humphrey’s agency and tours because the experience it gave us was just unique and all that at very reasonable fares. A very special thanks goes to our lovely driver Hudhaifa as he was a super friendly and safe driver who helped us catch our flight to Zanzibar in the end.

Great safari and a fantastic guide!
The safari was great. The pick-up went smoothly. The group was great. There were six guests in total. They were able to see all the animals. Dennis, our tour guide, took great care of us and explained a lot. The food on the safari was good. For me as a vegetarian, it was a bit monotonous, as I often got the same thing. But as a non-meat eater, I'm used to that. Only the breakfast at the Venice Hotel in Arusha was very meager.

Perfect for seeing Tanzania
The experience was perfectly fitting the price of the travel.
We had staff focused on making our experience unforgettable.
The accomodations were all right.
Really appreciated the camp sites where you really live with the animals.
We slept with a huge buffalo eating grass 3 meters away from our tent and we arrived Simba's campsite with an Elefant in the middle of the tents.
