 Verified Efficiency, Privacy, and "The Best."
If you are looking for the pinnacle of a Luxury Safari for Couples in Tanzania, Cube Nation is the only choice. We chose their 10-Day Presidential Retreat for our engagement, and it was flawless. From the private bush flight to the moment I proposed overlooking the Serengeti, every detail was handled with total discretion. It didn't feel like a tour; it felt like a private estate experience. Truly the best couple holiday we have ever had.

 Verified family trip to Tanzania
An incredible experience! We travelled with Cube Nation Tanzania as a group, two families (ages ranging from 15-48 years) We chose "The Taste of Tanzania" and were excited! Our guides, Allen and Bakari, welcomed us warmly and were by our side the entire days. We visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Park and Lake Manyara. The guys are great, we were on the road with two vehicles and Allen our driver fulfilled all our wishes. Driving in Tanzania can be very exciting but we felt safe with him at all times. We were excited to see so many animals (elephants, lions, giraffes and Leopards, etc.) and he could tell us about everything very interesting and he has a great knowledge of nature, culture and animals. We were especially happy to have our guides with us in the accommodations and at meals, so you get a nice connection. The lodges we stayed in were wonderful and everyone was very nice and attentive. At Gibbs Farm we were allowed to take a farm tour and enjoy home grown coffee. My conclusion: we are excited and can highly recommend Cube Nation Tanzania !!!!
