Sth Africa / Vic Falls and Zambia Safari
My wife and I with our adult children and partners had a wonderful safari with Ubuntu Safaris in August this year. Cuan invested a great deal of time and effort into providing an amazing safari experience tailored to our needs. All aspects of the experience was totally memorable. Our accommodation at both camps plus Vic Falls was first class and this was matched by the service at each stay. The daily safaris and tour guides were excellent and they genuinely wanted to provide the best experience possible for us. We ate well, enjoyed the company of friendly staff and we felt safe and comfortable throughout.
We were met at the airport upon arrival and upon return at Johannesburg at the completion of our safari by Cuan's father, who was also an excellent host.
I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and I would certainly endorse African Ubuntu Safaris as a first class tour operator.
Cuan even organised a wonderful birthday celebration for a member of our family - an afternoon and night to remember!
Thanks Ubuntu!

Unforgetttable experience
A BIG thank you to Cuan for organising such a fabulous trip to Southern Africa. We are still on a high BUZZ after 2 weeks back in Sydney. Everything worked seamlessly from transfers, flights, tours to accommodation. His suggestions were perfect just wished we had stayed longer than the 20 days. Garden Court Sandton Hotel in Jo burg is a great location and comfortable hotel..Soweto tour was interesting and informative. Shindzela Tented Camp was so much fun..off road 4 wheel driving and seeing the big 5 first day!! The Kingdom Hotel at Victoria Falls was very authentic African style ..loved it!! It is worth a trip to Hwange and staying in luxury tented camps .. The Portswood Hotel in Capetown is well positioned and very comfortable with great breakfasts.. Can highly recommend Cuan at Ubuntu and will def be back for more safaris in the future!!!

Fabulous experiences and sights, seamlessly organised.
When we booked a trip to Africa through Cuan at Ubuntu last year, it was to be a 'one off' trip of a lifetime. Here we are, one year later, having just been back again, and it won't be our last trip.
Cuan put together such a good value trip for us to South Africa for our second visit, we couldn't resist. A week in Cape Town was a great start- we got our sleep patterns sorted, and there was so much to see and do. We felt very safe in Cape Town, and the scenery, day trips and eating and sightseeing opportunities were fantastic- and very affordable.
We then spent three nights each in two Sabi Sands properties: Exeter River Lodge and Kirkman's Kamp. Although we had been to Sabi Sands in 2015, this year's visit was equally as exciting. Wildlife in Africa present so many different experiences, there's never a dull moment, and Sabi Sands certainly delivers.
Cuan put together a very competitive package for us, at top quality lodges, and with fast and direct transfers between locations.
Booking through Ubuntu Safaris, everything worked seamlessly, even down to my special request for a particular room (#14) at Kirkman's, which Cuan forwarded for me.
Many thanks Cuan, this won't be our last trip!

All necessary information was well documented and with sufficient time for review.ki
Communications were fine except for one little hiccup in Cape Town which was resolved quickly and efficiently. The tour itself covered all the sights I wanted to see but would have liked to spend a little more time viewing the Naukluft Mountains, Spitzkoppe and the Organ Pipes which we did not see at all. The most disappointing sight was the Petrified Forest. One tree trunk and a few petrified logs does not constitute a forest to me. Accommodation and meals were excellent as was the very knowledgeable tour guide. All the comments about the actual tour were not the province of African Ubuntu Safaris but the outsourced Sense of Africa. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Namibia.

adventure wonderland. everything was customed planned for me, especially sketching
everything went so smoothly, drivers, flights, services. i was always looked after royally and never left along. the accommodations were super. they were very comfortable and the staff always were friendly, helpful and entertaining. we had impromptu african singing, and little shows plus a birthday party under a full moon starlit sky. it was all breathtaking. what i was amazed at were the birds on the chobe river- so many
each and every day was an unexpected delight. you never knew what the day would bring. we even had night safaris. the whole planned trip was wonderful, varied, and efficient. i even got wheelchair support at jberg airport due to great communication from the victoria fallls end.
Wonderful & Memorable
I found all my dealings with African Ubuntu amazing. The process of asking questions before hand prior to even committing to one of their tours was friendly and informative. Upon booking and paying all information was provided as required, additional questions answered all our requests were considered and a tour around what we wanted to see and do was organised professionally yet friendly we had no doubt our tour would be wonderful and it was. The animals we were able to see were just what we wanted whilst we appreciate nature is nature and African Ubuntu Safaris can't control that they chose the parks we went to in order to maximise the chances of seeing the animals we wanted to - lucky for us we saw them. Gorillas particularly special and memorable, however we did know that would be the case. The accommodation booked with all meals included sensational. As for our tour guides Ronald and Milton we could not have asked for better. Both friendly, helpful, willing and more than able to answer all questions we had and excellent at sharing their extensive knowledge with us (many laughs too). Milton in particular, as it was him who took us for the actual game drives knew where to try and find the animals and it is largely thanks to him we saw what we saw. I would have no hesitation in suggesting others use African Ubuntu Safaris they pay great attention to detail on all levels. Thank you.

Well organised safari ran like clockwork
African Ubuntu Safaris made all the flight, safari and hotel bookings for our trip to Southern Africa. Despite Africa being renowned for the unexpected, everything worked exactly as planned - including getting suitcases shipped to our hotel in Johannesburg while we were on safari in Botswana. They recommended and booked a lovely hotel in Cape Town (Maartens guesthouse). All the numerous internal flights and transfers connected efficiently, and we were met by someone at each location. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to organise your next trip to Southern Africa.

Superbly organised, wide ranging experience.
Cuan was able to listen to our "wants" and came up with a superbly organised itinerary that covered a 4 day city experience in Cape Town before we "went bush" to Zimbabwe and Botswana for another 6 days. The 4 of us (parents and 2 teenagers) enjoyed and were blown away by our safari adventures.
Our trip was comprehensively organised in 6 weeks and all of our last minute questions and queries were expertly answered by Cuan.
Both safari tours (Davison Camp in Hwange, Zim and Chobe Game Lodge in Botswana) were of excellent quality. The tour operators, standard of the accommodation, food and experience were outstanding.
This trip has certainly whetted our appetite to return and experience more of Africa.
I highly recommend speaking to Cuan and using African Ubuntu Safaris.

A perfect safari experience
We had an absolutely brilliant Safari organized by Diederik. He was great with communication, he made some helpful suggestions, and was really accommodating in what we were after i.e. Our time frame, budget and experiences we wanted. (Diederik even came and met us at the very start of our Journey in Uganda and had such a well organized tour package to give us)
Our Safari was organized as a 15 day luxury safari, which is the expensive way of seeing Africa but so worth it to have small safari groups and close animal encounters (we had 2 days that it was only the tour guide, my hubby and myself in the safari car) and we were absolutely thrilled with our experience.
Because we were traveling in April/May Diederik suggested Uganda for the Gorillas as well as Zimbabwe and Botswana for the animals. We were so lucky to see everything we wanted...both Uganda and the Gorillas are truly amazing, Vic falls were spectacular, and the wildlife in Botswana was just sensational (we saw everything except a rhino and we even saw the wild dogs).
What we loved about this safari were the people, all the staff were so incredibly welcoming, hard working and attentive, the safari drivers really know their stuff and actually track animals for you. We always felt safe, our journey was organized so well that there was always someone to meet us for each transfer and take us directly to our destination, through border crossings and everything. We couldn't thank Diederik enough for the quality of our Safari. We thought it was a one off adventure but we now know Africa has so much more to offer and we will definitely be booking with Ubuntu Safaris again.
