GREAT SAFARI EXPERIENCE!
Our safari experience with Cub Expeditions was magnificent. Booking was very smooth, thanks to the prompt service, flexibility, and advice of its manager, Humphrey, who helped us plan the safari months before our trip to Tanzania, adapting it without any problem to our dates, circumstances, and requirements (we wanted a Spanish-speaking guide).
The entire agency staff was very professional, from Humphrey himself to the drivers who transferred us from the airport and served as our guides in Arusha.
We would like to give special mention to the two people who accompanied us during the five-day safari: Halidy (the chef) and Samuel (the guide and driver).
Regarding the Spanish-speaking guide and jeep driver for the safari, Samuel, his work was excellent: he knows the parks, the animals, their habits perfectly, and he took care of us with patience, prudence, and kindness. Cub Expeditions is fortunate to have him on board.
Regarding Chef Halidy, he was a fantastic cook, who was also very empathetic and caring about us at all times. The meals (all of them: breakfast, lunch, dinner): meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, soups, rice, pasta, fresh fruit, crepes... were spectacular. He even took an interest in our food preferences, allergies, and habits.
Our safari took place in the Tarangire, Serengeti, Norongoro Conservation Areas, and Lake Manyara. Highly recommended. We saw almost every animal possible except the rhino and leopard.
In conclusion, Cub Expeditions is a perfect agency, run by professionals, offering an excellent value safari experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing Tanzania Safari experience
We had an excellent safari experience in Tanzania thanks to Victor (planner) and Sami (driver/guide). From start to finish, the trip was thoughtfully organized, staying fully aligned with our budget, preferences, and expectations.
The route and accommodations were spot-on — exactly as we requested. Each location was carefully chosen, offering both comfort and a strong connection to nature. The price was more than fair, and we felt we received excellent value for our money.
A special thank you to Victor, who was incredibly generous and flexible with last-minute changes. He supported us throughout the planning and execution, making sure everything ran smoothly.
Sami, our guide, was not only knowledgeable (fluent English speaker) but also warm and professional. Thanks to him, we saw everything we hoped for — including the Big Five and the incredible wildebeest migration — and explored a variety of beautiful national parks and locations.
We would warmly recommend this team for anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Victor and Sami made it an unforgettable and seamless experience.

Congratulations to the entire Cubs Expeditions team, Humphrey, Sam, Hasam, Halidy, thank you very much, friends.
Humphrey and his agency, Cub Expeditions, provided us with unsurpassed service. Before the trip to Tanzania, he helped us plan our safari. He quickly resolved any changes we made, and his service was very professional and friendly, even though he was in Tanzania and we were in Bilbao, Spain. 10/10 for Humphrey.
Regarding the driver from the airport to our hotel in Arusha, everything went smoothly.
Regarding the English-speaking guide and driver for Arusha, Hasam was wonderful. He took us in the van to the sites we were visiting. He took us up to see the views of Mount Meru, a food market, a Maasai market, and cultural heritage sites. He ate at a very nice place, and he dropped us off at our hotel.
Regarding the Spanish-speaking guide and driver for the Safari, Samuel is an incredible person, and his 24-hour service was unsurpassed. He helped us with everything, took care of us at all times, and was patient, prudent, and kind, despite the work and fatigue of driving for so long. I hope he's lucky and highly valued because he's a hard worker everyone would want to have in their company.
Regarding Chef Halidy, he was also a 10-star cook. We ate better than at home: meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, creams, fruit, avocados, crepes, tortillas, etc. He was very friendly, and we were very well looked after at mealtimes.
Regarding the safari through Tarangine, Serengeti, Norongoro, and Manyara, it was impressive, and we saw every possible animal except rhinos and leopards, because they're difficult to see. The Serengeti Park is a bit challenging to drive in a jeep, and the most beautiful, for me, is Norongoro; the scenery was incredible.
Regarding the accommodations, we booked a lodge and a campsite, and we adapted to them. Camping is always limited in amenities, and it's important to assess whether it's suitable for us before booking.
Congratulations, friends, we will always recommend you!

Outstanding customer service and guide = outstanding safari
Everything about this experience was amazing. Gift was incredibly helpful in working out plans and details like my husband’s CPAP. Florian, our guide, was so knowledgeable and helpful and knew how to find wildlife, position us for best photos, answer endless questions, and tailor Safari to our interested which included birds and lizards and plants in addition to major fauna. The lodgings were all amazing and such good food. The Serengeti safari camp was our favorite. Such warm welcoming people and the location was beyond belief. Meru Slopes did an amazing job from start to finish and I highly recommend them.

Israel was very kind and welcoming. We really appreciate his work and his kind and courteous nature!
We had a wonderful trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro! It was worth every penny and the price was really fair for what we got. We learned a lot about Tanzanias wildlife, nature and culture and saw all the big 5 up close! Everything was well organized and communicated and it felt just like a trip with a good friend :)

Incredible, unique and authentic experience
The safari was magical. We left Kigali (me, Anna the organizer and Gerrar the guide) at 4:30 a.m. heading to Akagera Park. We arrived at 7 a.m. and immediately started the safari. I was lucky enough to see the Big 5 and other animals up close thanks to the open roof allowing you to stand up in the car. Then, we had a picnic at a "rest area" in the heart of the park. We finished around 2 p.m. after admiring many animals. We arrived in Kigali at sunset. An excellent day that I will remember for a long time!
