Great experience, tour in spanish!
We did the 4-day Safari Lodge Experience with Cubs Expeditions and it was an extraordinary trip. From the moment we were picked up at the airport until we were dropped off, everything was well organised and deeply memorable.
Our guide Sam was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife and conservation. He spoke perfect spanish and had an amazing eye for spotting animals, making sure we didn’t miss a thing. Thanks to him we got to see lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and many more!
Thanks Humphrey and team for such a nice experience!

Informative, personable and engaging.
From the get go, we have been at ease with the abundance of preparation that was organised for us from the taxi from the airport, to the room that was kindly booked for us to simply shower and ready ourselves for the return flight.
We were well entertained, well fed, and well informed on the animals. Not once did we feel like we were with a safari guide, we felt we were on a great adventure with a new found friend.
Value for money, for me you can’t put a price on the quality of the experience we had, but yes worth every penny and more.
Not once did we have any second to doubt anything about the safari, the service or our guide, Eli was so welcoming from the get go.
No doubt you’d be comparing safari companies and tours, but I can assure you that the time we spent on this experience is incomparable, apples and oranges. Night and day.
I can’t stress enough how amazing and unforgettable this safari trip was, thanks to Eli and ‘the belly doctor’

Seamless, accommodating, personable and worth every penny!
Our experience with Cubs Expeditions was seamless from start to finish. Humphrey was fantastic during the booking process and so responsive to all of our questions. When we arrived at Arusha the taxi was there to meet us and then at the hotel Eli our guide met us to discuss our dietary requirements and the itinerary for the next few days.
Eli was the most amazing guide, ensuring we were comfortable the whole trip and making sure we saw the big 5 plus more! His knowledge of the animals and respect for them was incredible and we are so glad to have had him as a guide.
Not only was he personable during the game drives but he also sat with us at breakfast, lunch and dinners, sharing his knowledge and personal experience of living in Tanzania. He even joined us for a game of UNO!
Eli’s team work with the chef Halidi “the belly doctor” was phenomenal, they had a great rapport and that meant the atmosphere was always fantastic. The food was wonderful and we felt very well looked after. We wish we could bring the belly doctor home, not even a black mamba in the kitchen could put him off! (We are very thankful to the team and Maasai that saved us from the black mamba!)
The guys made the trip the best it could have been, never missing a beat and ensuring we saw the buffalo even at 10pm in the camp!
Returning to the airport was again seamless and there was someone waiting for us each step of the way.
We would highly recommend Cubs to anyone wanting to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro! It’s also great if you have a tight budget for the Serengeti!
Asante sana Eli and Halidi the belly doctor!

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Perfect in Every Way!
Unforgettable Safari Experience – Perfect in Every Way!
I recently had the most incredible safari experience, and I can’t recommend this company enough! From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized — every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed without a hitch.
Our guide, Godwin, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly kind. He made the entire journey even more special, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. You can truly tell he loves what he does.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, the legendary Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Each location was unique and stunning in its own way. We saw a huge variety of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and even a leopard — truly a dream come true!
The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, with gorgeous lodges set in scenic locations. The food was delicious throughout the trip — fresh, flavorful, and catered to our tastes.
If you’re thinking about going on a safari, I wholeheartedly recommend this company. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, made perfect by their attention to detail, wonderful hospitality, and, of course, our amazing guide Godwin.
Thank you for the memories! 🌍🦁🐘

Nothing to complain about. It was an unforgettable experience. I received a warm welcome from Ellis. Afterward, I went on safari with guide Adam and chef Salim.
We had a lot of fun with our guide, and he was very knowledgeable. Everything was well planned, and the food was delicious. It was a huge adventure that I would recommend to everyone.
Best Safaris I ever did!! I saw all of the big 5!

Brilliant safari in Tanzania
We 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!

Ellis is the Best!!!
Ellis is the best!!! Anticipated needs and made sure everyone had everything they needed to have the best time possible. Very knowledgeable, answered every question and went out of his way to make sure we experienced the wonderful world of the Serengeti. One that I will cherish for a lifetime. Shout out to the our taxi driver and the chef that made sure we were more than fed with some good food that kept us satisfied the whole trip.

Ely did a wonderful job. He was very informative, our personal photographer and very helpful!! We saw doo many animals 4 out of the big 5. Couldn’t find the leopard, he as hiding lol. We even saw some animals outside our tent, but they didn’t come near us. We loved our experience and would definitely do it again!!

Friendly, reliable and good value.
The 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. The tour was run exceptionally well, it was well organised and communication was excellent. 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.
