Amazing Experience with reliable and attentive personnel - The safari was amazing! We booked an offer for a 4-day safari (6 days including arrival and departure in Arusha) by Oasis Wildlife Tours, which was pooled with other operators due to lower demand in the off-season. Pick-up and drop-off from and to the airport worked perfectly. Our driver was very kind and also flexible regarding the arrival and departure times of our flights.
After the arrival day with a city tour, our four-day safari started. Our driver Alli from Simbaland Magic Tours did an amazing job. He knew exactly where to look for the different animals, where to stop to get great pictures, and how to handle the rough terrain without ever getting lost on the endless small paths. Thanks to him, we not only saw all of the Big Five animals but also giraffes, zebras, gnus, ostriches, baboons, different antelopes, flamingos, eagles, all of the “Ugly Five,” and many more. Many of them could be seen from a very close distance, but our driver allways respected their space to not disturb them.
The accommodations during the trip were always appropriate. During the four safari days, three meals per day were provided by our chef Joseph, who was traveling with us from camp to camp and cooking for our group. The food was very good, and he always tried to teach us a few words in Swahili. He also allways provided a vegetarian option for us.
Everything was taken care of, the experience was great, we got far more than we expected, and we would definitely recommend it.

Amazing Experience - The experience was perfectly fitting the price of the travel.
We had staff focused on making our experience unforgettable.
The accomodations were all right.
Really appreciated the camp sites where you really live with the animals.
We slept with a huge buffalo eating grass 3 meters away from our tent and we arrived Simba's campsite with an Elefant in the middle of the tents.

Very Enjoyable safari experience - Safari experience was amazing our driver simba was very knowledgeable and friendly and put in alot of effort to ensure we had the best opportunity to see everything we wanted to.
The company were quick to respond to all of our queries and were friendly to deal with. The chef they provided for us was great, he cooked us some fab dishes all fresh and scratch!
All accommodation was as expected for the budget safari, was clean and pleasant. Our only down fall would be the Venice hotel which we would not be keen to stay in again.

Best trip to date! Amazing experience - We had such an amazing time with Cubs Expedition. From the beginning to the end, everything was handled so well. The whole trip was smooth, stress-free, and even better than we expected. I would honestly recommend them to anyone thinking of going on a safari.
Our guide Eli was incredible. He really cared about giving us the best experience. He was patient, friendly, and full of knowledge, and he always made sure we were safe and comfortable. Thanks to him we got to see so many animals and enjoy every moment. His dedication really stood out.
And we can’t forget Khaled our chef. He made some of the tastiest meals we’ve ever had on a trip. Everything was fresh and full of flavour, and he always welcomed us with so much warmth. His cooking and kindness made the experience even better.
Overall Cubs Expedition truly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation, the service, the food, the guiding everything was excellent. We left with beautiful memories, and we’d happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari.
Thank you to the amazing team at Cubs for all that they did for us Humphrey, Eli, Khaled and Francis. You all were amazing.

Great Safari - Absolutely magical experience. I did a camping safari with my girlfriend, of course the campsites are not very modern or clean, but i think thats what you expect when booking a camping safari in an african national park. The organisation was great, everything worked perfectly from beginning to end. The Guide and everybody else involved is incredibly friendly. Also the food was good. We saw all big 5 and lots of other animals. In one campsite there were zebras all night. It’s very much driving on often very bumpy roads, especially from ngorongoro to serengeti but it’s definitely worth it.

Amazing safari experience with Cubs Expeditions - We just came back from a 5-day 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 with 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!

Amazing Safari with the Best Guide! - The safari was an unforgettable experience, but what really made it special was our guide Eli. He was incredibly funny, knowledgeable and passionate, pointing out animals we never would have spotted on our own. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, but even beyond that, the diversity of wildlife was breathtaking. He did everything he could to take us to the best spots, always making sure we had the perfect angle for photos and the best chance to see as many animals as possible. Spotting a ryno in the bushes just for us is a memory I’ll cherish forever.
The whole trip was well organized, and the scenery was just stunning. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience - This was our first time in Africa and definitely an unforgettable trip for us. Our guide Elii was very knowledgeable about the animal and the local cultures and very patient explaining them to us. He was also very passionate and drove us far away from the crowds to search for different animals. We saw quite a number of unique species and also the big five. We saw over 50 lions in this trip! If anyone is looking for a great time in Tanzania, I would definitely recommend this company and Elii to you!

Great safari experience - This was a great safari experience. We booked a budget safari and got to see most of what we wanted to see for an amazing price compared to other companies I looked at. We saw the big 5. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the great migration due to it happening a little late this year.
Eli is a great guide and very funny. Definitely worth booking just from the price alone.
