An amazing safari with Cubs Expeditions!
Our safari tour with Cubs Expeditions turned out to be one of the best we have ever done. Right from the time we started planning our Tanzania trip, the owner Humphrey kept constant communication with us regarding the safari package and what is included on each day of the tour. Their packages are very competitive and attractive and the camps they provided us were really good. They kept emailing me regularly addressing all my queries until we landed in Tanzania. Even when we faced our own problems with our flights coming into Tanzania, Humphrey was always available to adapt to the changes from our flight disruptions. However, the star of this entire safari was our driver-guide Omar. He was absolutely amazing, with a head full of facts and knowledge about the Serengeti and its magnificent creatures! Omar has the eye of an eagle, and could see a leopard sitting on a rock 2 kms away! He could name every single animal species and explain to us the traits and differences of each of them. He shared so much information to us about so many things that you would never need an encyclopedia after that. He ensured we were well taken care of in each of our safari camps in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and made sure we were always on time wherever we had to go on the day. Omar is an amazing person, and we will always remember him from this trip. Apart from Omar, the other person we would like to appreciate is Hudhaifa, who was responsible for our pickup and drop off to JRO airport. One of our luggage had been misplaced by the airline, and since we had already departed for our safari, Hudhaifa took it as a responsibility to ensure our luggage was properly routed to Serengeti when it was eventually delivered. Cubs expeditions is an honest and earnest company who takes care of their clients. Thank you so much and hopefully we will meet again soon!

A must book trip!
We had a great experience with Cubs expeditions from start to finish. We booked directly through the company after finding them online. Humphrey was pleasant, responsive and helped us create a great personalized itinerary. The tour itself was amazing and incorporated all the best parts of Tanzania. We were able to see the “big 5” during our trip. Our guide Chalice and chef Halidy were amazing at their jobs and very pleasant to be around during the week. They were very attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. We cannot say enough good things about them. If we are lucky enough to visit Tanzania again we will be sure to make Cubs our first call.

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.

How much does 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks cost?
+

Is 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Is 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arusha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arusha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
