Excellent Safari for photographers
I spent three nights reading all safari companies reviews on internet and finally I chose Cubs Expeditions. And I can say it was a really great choice. In comparison with other two companies (on Safaribooking, you can contact three only), Cubs Expeditions represented by Mr. Humphrey had very transparent and open communication. We were picked up at the airport and transferred to our hotel where we spent two nights before safari and this service was included in the safari price. The safari itself was really extraordinary, specially for me as a photographer. Our guide and driver Mr. Amani is a real gemstone among guides. He is very experienced and you can see he’s doing his job by his heart. He is an excellent driver and you feel really safe even if he’s driving very fast, for example because of he had information about some interesting animals somewhere on the plain. He is very attentive to needs of his clients and for me as a photographer, it was perfect because he was very patient and stopping on spots really good for photographing. Based on his experience, he knows what positions are the best for making the best pictures. And early waking up for sunrises is no problem for him. So going with him is like being in a photographer’s paradise. I also have to mention our cook Innocent because he was preparing very tasty meals and we weren’t starving at all. So I can honestly recommend going to safari with Cubs Expeditions.

Extraordinary safari
I’m really happy I chose Cubs Expeditions for our safari tour. The communication with Mr. Humphrey was transparent from the first moment, no surprises after arrival to Arusha. We were picked up at the airport and then they took us to the hotel. Since we had a spare day before the safari, Cubs Expeditions provided us with two guides (Fidelis and Nickson) who showed us the town, took us to the Duluti lake and to a sunset hill in Arusha. But it wasn’t about pushing us to buying any souvenirs. Just a nice time with them. Next morning we set out to the Safari. During the following six days in four different areas (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), we saw all the animals from the big five and much more. Our guide and driver Mr. Amani is probably one of the best guides and drivers in Tanzania. He’s doing his job by heart and you can see that on the style of his work. He’s listening to his clients and adjust the safari tour in accordance with their needs and wishes. He’s very patient and helpful. And if you are afraid of being hungry, it is not necessary, you won’t be starving. Our chef Innocent was preparing really tasty meals and portions were more than enough. I really can recommend going to safari with Cubs Expeditions.

Efficient and very thoughtful
Reliable and we got value for money too. They were prompt in responding to our enquiry. Thank you. God willing, I would go on a safari with them again and again in future.

Amazing, definitely coming back!
This tour was absolutely amazing, we saw so many animals including baboons, rhinos, lions, lots of zebras, elephants, cheetahs and more. The scenic views were incredible and we learned so much about the Masai tribe. Our guide/driver Fredrick is awesome, he was so knowledgeable and knew the answers to all of our questions. The cook, Chaz was the best!! Breakfast, lunch and dinner never disappointed. 10/10 recommendation to everyone, we are already planning our return trip. I do recommend bringing toilet paper just incase the restrooms are out and a jacket because it can get cold at night in the tent and in the game drive.

the best safari I’ve ever been on!
We had the absolute best time on our safari. Airport pickup and drop off were smooth, our guide, Fredrick, was absolutely amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and so fun. He answered every single question we had and managed to find every animal we wanted to see (lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, etc). Our chef, Chaz, was THE BEST. Every meal was amazing. Camping was warm and comfortable and we had zebras hanging around our tent all night in Ngorogoro. I honestly can’t think of anyway our trip could have been better. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a fun, safe, exciting safari trip. We are already talking about how soon we can come back and do it again.

Professional
Such an amazing safari! Our guide was Phillip and he showed us everything in 3 days including the serengeti, ngorogogro crater and a massai village. Overall we had a great time. Only complaint would be the amount of food we got but then again remember it’s africa!

Amazing safari experience and Max is a great guide!
How to describe the perfect safari?! We had limited time, and Max was able to accommodate our needs so that we could make the most of it. The safari experience was amazing, we saw all the animals even lions, Max was very knowledge about them and had a good eye to spot them. We felt very safe and comfortable the whole time. Max is super friendly, kind, intelligent, relaxed and professional. Also the value for money is excellent. If you are looking for a personalized safari experience and a lot of fun, I would highly recommend Nisha Safaris. I hope to be back soon!

Supercool
I did the 7-day Machame route (in the end it was 6) to climb Kilimanjaro and a 7-day safari with them, both private tours. Kilimanjaro has been the best experience of my life, everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, great. the guides, porters and cook are cracks. the incredible safari accommodations, and the best, the price and the direct treatment with the owner and the guides. a family member is going this year and of course we will book everything with them.

Great man, nice soul
The tour was perfect. They picked us up in the hotel in Kampala and we started the tour stopping in the Equator. Nice pics and good lunch. After that, we went to Bwindi in a long road laughing and telling stories about the past. We figured out that you could avoid eating chickens, but you can eat the cousins LOL Augustine helped us all the time. We could see the gorillas and keep going to Ruanda. Full experience.

An amazing and most enjoyable experience from the very start of my journey
I was very fortunate to find this very nice company and I knew that I was in very good hands from my first email contact with Mathew and Newton. They took meticulous care with planning my trip (1 week) and were so flexible and accommodating to all my tweaks to the itinerary even when I reached Kenya and a few changes were needed. They warmly welcomed me to Kenya on Day 1, then met me again before the safari and finally on Day 7 to say goodbye and have a debrief. I spent two days on the wonderful Diani beach and four days on safari. I had an amazing time and was fortunate to see plenty of wildlife in the various National Parks that we visited. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my excellent driver and guide, Jackson for making the safaris so enjoyable. Also thanks to Daniel who met me at Nairobi airport. I had originally only intended to spend three days in Kenya but owing to amendments to other travel plans, managed to spend a full week thereby experiencing both the coast and the National Parks. The hotels, lodges and other facilities were of a very high standard throughout. I hope I will have an opportunity to meet all my rafikis from Bateleur Eagle Safaris as soon as another opportunity arises in the near future. Asante sana
