Hiking Mount Meru and 3 Day Safari
5/5

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.

5/5

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!

Awesome safari trip, highly recommend
5/5

Highly recommend this tour operator for safari!!!

I did the 3-day 6 person shared Ngorongoro /Serengeti tour with Cubs Expeditions and had an awesome experience. Zero complaints. Definitely great value for money, highly professional and reliable. They handled everything well from start to finish including airport transfer, accommodations, meals and the actual tour.


Kudos to Humphrey for handling the admin side of things very well. He was always available to assist with the arrangements including airport transfers, questions and changes!

The tour guide (Bakari) was just awesome - very knowledgeable, personable and good eye for spotting animals. Shout out to the chef (Kevin) that traveled with us and kept us happily fed with some very delicious meals. Final shout out to Hudhaifa for an excellent airport transfer service with some good laughs.

Overall, awesome safari trip through Cubs Expeditions. Highly recommend 👌

Unforgettable experience, 3-day safari
5/5

A 100% recommended experience that you will remember all your life.

We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
I really liked visiting a different park every day, since it allows you to see a variety of environments and animals.

Every day we had a different guide, all of them really great. They care that the visit is unforgettable and that you see the largest number of animals in a respectful way. During the tour they explain a lot of things about the fauna of the place and try to answer any questions you may have.

The lodge where we stayed (Marera Valley) is wonderful, I totally recommend it

As for the chef, Issa, a 10/10 chef, the organization and the scenery were incredible, the service was perfect, and I'm telling you, it's more than worth it. Go for it.

Wonderful
5/5

I was fortunate enough to have an absolutely exceptional safari experience. Our guide, Fisso, was remarkably kind and professional. Always smiling and attentive, he introduced us to all the animals with passion and precision. I recommend him without hesitation!

The food was also perfect: Chef Issa is a true culinary master, and 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.

Amazing safari experience with Cubs Expeditions
5/5

We just came back from a 5-day budget group 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 for 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!

Excellent experience from excellent team
5/5

I 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.
