We had a wonderful time. So stress free and super well organised. Really enjoyed being able to visit the local village in addition to the park safaris. Our driver was really excellent with stopping and manoeuvring into good positions for us to see the animals for as long as we needed. Everyone was helpful and courteous. I also found our tour really affordable, which was important for me.

We had an amazing safari with Cubs Expeditions. All the staff was wonderful and professional. Our driver and cook were both friendly and caring and they made sure we saw the Big 5 plus numerous other amazing animals. The tour exceeded our expectations. Definitely recommended.
The best safari ever!! Ellis who was a guy took us safari guided us perfectly and showed many angles to watch animals well!! Also, I have to mention that a chef called Steve cooked meals during the tour. Taste was amazing!! You won’t regret your once in a lifetime experience, “safari”, with these two!!
The stay was amazing, we saw all the animals, the accommodations were very well adapted, and the food was excellent. Our guide Fiso and the cook Issa were perfect.
We had an amazing experience on our safari. When I saw how vast the Serengeti is, I thought it would be very difficult to spot animals — but we saw almost all of them! We saw around 20 lions in just two days, some of them incredibly close, which was truly unforgettable. Our guide, Eliis, was fantastic. At first, he seemed a bit serious, but once he realized he could be part of our group, everything changed. We laughed a lot together, and he shared so much interesting information about the animals. This really shows how adaptable he is — if you just want a quiet driver, he’ll respect that. But we wanted someone to share the experience with us, and he became a great part of it. The cook was also excellent. The food was tasty, and we always had enough water and even some Coke with our meals.
I cant reckon Humphrey and his amazing team (shout out to Eli) enough. Humphrey is so responsive, organised & available to answer ANY & ALL of your questions. He was able to help us change accommodation to suit our budget (we camped 1 night and lodged 2 nights) and he organised our transport from Arusha Tanzania back to nairobi Kenya. The tour itself - i don't know where to begin. Our guides were amazing, Saleh & Robert were experts in finding the most elusive animals - we got to see the big 5 and more!!! Two different leopard sitings, three cheetah brothers + a mum & her two cubs cheetahs, lionesses with their 8 cubs after a kill, rhinos in the ngoro crater. It was honestly one of the best experiences we have had - the guides were great, friendly, we laughed alot & we learnt alot. There was no silly question. The food cooked by Ghadia was amazing, some local Tanzanian curry's plus stewed veggies and rice, then some pizza, chicken, soups and always the best breakfast. Our itinerary was (fully organised by Humphrey): - 1st night in Arusha Hotel - drive to & enter Tarangire National Park (freaking awesome for elephants & Giraffes) - stayed locally that night - enter the Serengetti! - stayed INSIDE the Serengeti in a lodge and was scary & exciting - heard lions roar and hyenas calling to each other. They come up to your lodging!! But they have Masai guarding the camp. This was something else - we were recommended to this and im glad we did, but it was scary listening to that all night even though you are 100% safe. - game drive in the morning then head to the Ngoro Crater rim - game drive through the Ngoro crater - it feels like Jurassic Park. You go through so many different areas that range from wetlands to bush to fields. Stunning + amazing at the same time - then back to Arusha for the night - bus over the border back to nairobi to the airport Only thing we would of done differently - went to Zanzibar after the tour to relax. It's a jam packed 4 days but it is worth it. Ps a small tip: do plan to tip your tour guide 10 usd per day per person. And 5 usd per day per person for the chef. Get Tanzanian shillings out to tip other service providers through out your travels + your lodges/hotels. Example: we tipped 10k shillings to the bus bag loader as a thanks, we also tipped 10 usd to the lodge in the Serengeti for all the service workers they provided.
Cubs provided us really good deal, the tor guide also very professional, exploring animals all the time, we really had a great time
We were 4 days, beginning in serengueti 2 days, following Ngorongoro and finishing in Taranguire. The experience was incredible and the people as well. Very well organised without any problem at all. We could see all big 5, between the 3 parks, so 5 stars for this company
This was truly a great experience. We were put in a nice hotel for the night before and after the safari in Arusha. The safari itself was wonderful. Our guide was incredible and was great at helping us spot animals both in Serengeti and in Ngorongoro crater. Our chef was amazing and the food was really delicious throughout. The camping was great too with the tents set up for us and the campsites having washrooms Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely recommend
Humphrey's Team are true professionals, I highly recommend Cubs Expeditions to anyone who wants to see the animals of Africa and have an unforgettable trip. We had a four day adventure with Cubs Expedions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks, the driver/guide showed us these magical lands, and childhood dreams from Grzimek’s books finally became a reality! The trip was perfectly organized and the chef is a wizard =)
We had a four day mid range lodge Safari to Tarangiri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The booking with Humphrey was uncomplicated, we could always ask on WhatsApp or mail if we had any questions. Make sure to ask in advance how to pay the Safari! Our driver Godwin was very reliable and due to his long experience, we always felt in good hands. He knew some really good spots off the main routes! The lodges we had were also very good, the food was delicious and the staff attentive.
I would strongly recommend this Safari. Humphrey and his team was excellent and we were able to see the ‘big 5 animals in the wild.’ Shoutout to our driver Solomon and Chef Khalil. It was an amazing experience to see the surreal landscapes and animals with friends.
We enjoyed a brilliant safari Tour in the three national parks and saw the complete Big Five. We were guided by Arno who is very nice and funny person. He explained everything well in English/ German. The food was very delicious and fresh made by Halid who accompanied us as a cook for the group. Furthermore, organisation including airport transfer and hotel at first and last day was well organised.
Very Nice trip with very friendly people. Good food, good organisation! We saw a lot of animals very close to us. We will be back!!!
The friendliest crew ever who will make sure you enjoy your trip to the max - they’re flexible and willing to help you out Humphrey will make sure everything is properly managed and taken care of
I was thinking often times, what I have to write about this wonderful trip. Really I can't found the words to explain my pleasure and my happiness what I get. ONE of the best trip I had in my life. It took me out of this world what we have. My mind was out of thinking about any things, just relaxing and enjoying like never I had. I Can not forget DANIEL and AMFREY who help my to book this trip. Really thank you guys so much I will never forget you suggested to me and your kind way of booking. This both guys was amazing and super professional. For sure I can't forget our best guid ARON, he have really big experience he did his best to let us enjoy watching all animal in nice way without to disturbing an animal. He gave us even full positive Energie. Thanks guys from my heart. I saw all animal special the 5 big . Not just one time but many time what was for me mote than amazing.
It was a great experience for me maybe the best trip of my life so far especially with mr Humphrey ! Who was a very helpful personne for me i felt really safe with him everything was all right and we were also very lucky too see all most all wild animals and we had also a veryy good driver and great chief for sure i will come back inchallah in Serengeti another time and it will be for sure with tjis company
Amani, our phenomenal guide, has connections with nearly everybody there and his expertise allowed us to see 2 leopards mating (plus another gigantic one), 33 lions including males that nearly brushed against our car, a family of 3 rhinos which is quite rare, elephants, Buffalo, hippos, elands, and drove us into the middle of a sea of wildebeests. Truly expert level guidance. Humphrey managed the entire thing on short notice, and our drivers, service, and chefs were accommodating the entire time. A big thank you to Cubs Expeditions!
We had a great safari and saw all the animals of the big 5 (and more). Camping is very budget, so don’t expect much from that. The nature and animals are on the other hand so amazing, that it is all worth it. I would definitely recommend to go for a couple of days on safari, because if you have 1 or 2 days with bad weather you will see less animals. So it is worthwhile going for 3-4 days, in my opinion.
It was a nice experience with great service from the guide, cook, and overall the people you meet around the camp. Seen lot's of animals, which I have to say is very dependent on the weather. Rain season/ dry season. But we've come across all that we wanted to see (The big five) Hence the lucky season :). So also think about that in regards of the amount of days you want to go on safari. Also since you're going into the wild, while ofcourse there is luxury like clean toilets, bathrooms, sometimes warm water. It's still back to basics! And you're still in the wild so be prepared for that as well. Read in before you go (lonely planet) plan ahead and you'll experience a nice trip.
Nice car, the best Driver, roof open, music loud, good vibes and animals - awesome trip with awesome people.
Great guides with a smile on their face and insights/knowledge about the area and nature! Amazing nature and experiences with all covered as in food, drinks, tents etc.
We really enjoyed our trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks! And would like to thanks Humphrey for an excellent organization and friendly treatment during all our stay in Tanzania.
Nice, friendly and safe even with wildebeests feeding on grass just next to your head why you are trying to sleep in a tent in the middle of the night.
We’re a family of five and love camping and wildlife. This was the ultimate experience! My kids said that this trip was five times better than Costa Rica. My wife, an avid cooker, really enjoyed the cooking of our personal chef, Issa. Our guide, Eddy, knew all of the best places for wildlife and his knowledge was expansive. Humphrey made the arrangements easy. We made a few special requests and he was quick to accommodate. My kids unanimously said that they’d request Eddy and Issa for a future trip. In general, I was surprised at how dirty we got from dusty, bumpy safari driving. Because we had a camping mentality, it wasn’t a big deal. We stayed at public campgrounds in the parks. So, I wasn’t expecting a white tablecloth glamping experience. Hearing lions roar and hyenas bark at night was unforgettable. The logistics of camping were all taken care of. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Cubs Expeditions exceeded my expectations was reasonably priced.
Excellent tour. Everything worked fine from the pickup at the airport to the safari itself. Very experienced, friendly and great guides and chefs. Strongly recommend!!
It was an excellent experience for 3 days in Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. The cub expedition delivered exactly what we were promised. Amany our guide, was sensational, we had no complaints. We would go back.
Cubs Expedition, in conjunction with Wildlife Oasis Tours, created an amazing safari experience from start to finish! These companies are professional, reliable, kind, and went out of the way to meet our needs. We went on a 4-day safari exploring Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti! We saw alllll the animals! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, our chef made amazing meals, and our accommodations were excellent….and yes, yes we saw the BIG 5! I would highly recommend this company and have already done so to friends and family.
I appreciated the tour with Wildlife Oasis. I went for a 4-days safari. Louis, the tour guide brang us for 4 days for a safari tour The cook, Tito, was super helpful and fed us well for the lunch meal. We saw a lot of wild animals, it was amazing to see them so close. The Hodges were very welcomed and made sure that everything was good. Thank you for this lovely Journey.
Great experience. Loads of wildlife. Our eagle eyed guide Ray Ayub was excellent in finding lions in the grass. Thanks to Humphrey and Twalbu for putting this together.
An unforgettable amazing experience organised by a well experienced and professional team. Good food and friendly staff. Hassle free airport pick up and drop

It was one of the best experiences of my life. The landscapes, the views, the people, the food, the entire experience was indescribable. I completely recommend it. They were always looking out for me, making sure I didn't miss anything, they were very kind to me.
I thank Humphrey for everything he has done for us! I will never forget his kindness and professionalism! The safari could not have gone better thanks to Iddi who guided us, explained and especially who took care of us! Issa was our cook, we ate like home! His legendary smile and kindness touched me so much! I recommend Iddi and Issa for your next safari you will not regret! Thank you for making me live this dream and see you soon!
We lived 4 incredible days of safari thanks to cub expeditions. Humphrey did everything for us and took care of us from the beginning to the end of the safari. I thank him for everything. We had to accompany us on this safari Issa our cook and Iddy our guide/driver. Issa cooked us incredible meals throughout this adventure (meals worthy of great chef) and Iddy allowed us with his animal knowledge and his driving to realize one of our dreams, see the "Big Five". Thank you to them for making our safari a dream.
We had a magical time from the start and until the end of our stay! Humphrey took care of us as if we were family! Issa our cook prepared us incredible meals, we ate on safari as in a 5* hotel! Thanks to Idi who was our driver and guide during our stay, with his knowledge of animals and his driving experience we spent a magical safari! We will come back and choose Humphrey for our next Safari! If you want to see the big 5 with a full stomach, ask Issa and Idi for your trip! Thank you for allowing us to live this unforgettable experience!
Everything is perfect. Impeccable organization, punctual, funny and professional. Very helpful to our every request and exceptional safari guide and cook. We highly recommend.
Being a big wildlife fan and photographer, I always wanted to go on a real African safari, but spending tens of thousands of dollars, as one of my acquaintances did, I somehow didn't burn)) So when I purchased this tour, I did not expect anything special, rather counting on a pleasant car ride on the shroud. And how surprised I was when, for a modest enough sum, even by Russian standards, I got this, I'm not afraid of the word, amazing adventure! Well, that was great! And the organizers, Humphrey and Twalga, were super pleasant and answered all my questions before the trip and clearly arranged all the transfers, and the wonderful guide and driver Fredrik, who was perfectly oriented and knew the habits of all animals, and was able to easily look through the binoculars of two cheetahs in the tall grass, which we could only see from about five meters away!) We also saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, different kinds of gazelles, monkeys, buffalo, some hippopotamus, and many, many stunning lions! You met about single males, and a pride at a watering hole, even a lioness to a literally newborn kitten! I was also pleased to see that all guides and drivers treat animals with great respect and care. Jeeps are always at a respectful distance and everyone is asked to keep quiet. Everyone's driving on already rolled primers, by the way, so they're trying to minimize the damage from cars. Everybody's Jeeps are, oddly enough, exactly the same, whatever you pay) Nice cars like this, with a lift roof so you can look in all directions standing in the cabin and outlets at every passenger seat. I took the most frugal version of the tour, and we lived in tents, which I never regretted. The tents were serious - large and made of a tight rubberized tarpaulin. We were given a mattress and a sleeper, and slept great, no one got wet or cold, even though the night started a real tropical downpour! Zebras also came at night) We also had an Aktion cook with us, cooking for six of us. And he cooked - great! So I advise this company, guys, well done, they're doing a great job, I was super pleased!
