#1 tour guide operator out of them all - price, people, experience & transparency ✨️
I 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.

Unforgettable
As a first-timer on an African safari, I can not compare my experience to any other. I can only say that I enjoyed it a lot, I saw many unbelievable scenes involving African wildlife, and was treated like a VIP by our hosts. It was a lot of value for a reasonable amount of money. In one word: unforgettable!

Great safari
The safari was awesome, and Twalbu and Humphrey were so helpful from start to finish. They really care about their customers and made it an incredible experience we will never forget. Mandela, our guide, was a great dude and very knowledgeable - would recommend him and the company to anyone.

Mandela was so kind and knowledgeable!
Twalbu and Humphrey were amazing hosts from start to finish. We were picked up at the airport and they made sure we had a place to stay and dropped us with our guide the next morning for the safari. Afterwards, they even got us bus tickets to our next location and waited with us at the bus depot to make sure we boarded okay! The safari itself was great as well. Our guide made sure we saw so much and the chef kept us very well fed. It was a great experience and I can’t recommend this company highly enough!

The best ever will never forget it
I booked a seven-day safari trip with Humphrey. At first, I was hesitant and had some concerns, but from the moment we arrived at the airport, I was amazed by the level of organization and care shown by Humphrey and his team.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to do so—because this wasn’t just an ordinary safari trip; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in every detail.
From the start, Humphrey’s attention, assistance, and incredibly detailed advice were impressive. Then came the highlight of our trip—our amazing guide Godwin, with whom we spent six unforgettable days. My phone and camera memories were filled with stunning shots and breathtaking moments. The information he shared about nature and wildlife was fascinating. His calm demeanor and attentiveness to our safety were exceptional.
Khalid was also with us during the trip, preparing delicious meals every day. The food was simply wonderful. On our final day, when we visited the Materuni Waterfalls, we were accompanied by Hudhaifa, whose energy and liveliness made the day even more joyful—it was filled with incredible moments.
In the end, I must say I will never forget the moment we saw a group of leopards, a herd of elephants, or how each national park had its own unique natural charm. Even the animals that visited our camp in Ngorongoro were part of this unforgettable adventure.
Thank you to everyone for the memories you’ve etched into our hearts. I’m sure they’ll stay with us for a very long time.

Amanzing
It was an incredible experience the fours days of safari.
We saw lots of wild animals, in the three parks we were. Our guide Eliis is amanzing: he has lots knowledge about the flora and fauna of the savannah. He always tried to find differents animals, so we could see all of them. The accommodations were very good, as we pretend. The food was very good also.
Finally Eliis has talent to be a guide.

One of the best experiences of our lives.
It was an amazing experience. THANKS Clubs Expeditions, and the people behind the organization of the safari, because it is been a 10. Humphrey from the first time we contacted him to inform us was super helpful and friendly explaining all kinds of details. When we spoke to him, we had no doubt that we were going to do the safari with them. Elis met us at the airport as soon as we arrived and he was very nice, gave us the best welcome and made us a tour of Arusha the day before we started the safari. Godwill was our guide for the 3 safari days, he speaks Spanish perfectly, and it has been a luck and a wonderful experience to do this safari with him. We have learnt a lot of things and we have enjoyed a lot. And last but not least, a 10 for the chef with his so delicious and complete menus. Also the lodge where we stayed was great. We will never get tire of recommending them :)

It has been an incredible experience, we saw a lot of animals and our guide had a lot of knowledge about the area and the animals and was giving us a lot of super interesting information, plus he knew how to find the animals super fast! The food was also delicious and the people were all lovely with us and always made our trip super easy. The tents were very comfortable and the organizer (Eli) is the best!

Unforgettable experience between Safari and Kilimanjaro
We spent four days on a tented safari with a group, followed by five days on the Marangu Route for our ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. What can I say? It was an experience that completely captivated us - not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but more importantly, because of the deep bond we formed with our guides, William, David, and Alex, as well as the porters. We arrived as clients and left as friends.
The adventure was intense and, naturally, quite spartan, but those who opt for experiences like these know exactly what to expect. The food was surprisingly good, even for us vegetarians, and the team was always highly professional, responding quickly and attentively to all our needs.
In terms of value for money, we feel confident saying it’s unbeatable, especially considering the market prices. One aspect worth mentioning is tipping: after spending so many days with the team and witnessing firsthand their daily reality, we realized that no amount of tipping would ever feel enough. Tipping is a crucial part of their income and is essential to showing appreciation for their hard work.
Ultimately, this is an experience that will stay in our hearts forever. An adventure that goes beyond a simple vacation, a journey that changes you and binds you to places and people in a profound way.
