Excellent and friendly advice, flawless planning, stress-free experience.
Right from the first contact with Cuan, everything just fell into place so seamlessly that I ended up-and I say this without a skerrick of exaggeration- enjoying the trip of a lifetime! I stumbled across African Ubuntu Safaris on the net and was intrigued by the name; also the website was well laid out and easily navigable. Cuan was very helpful, patient, friendly and upfront with his advice and I found him very trustworthy.
The whole itinerary was well tailored to suit my budget and preferences; the package wasn't cheap by normal standards but I can unhesitatingly state that the experiences I had far exceeded my expectations-in fact the accommodation at the camps were more luxurious than I had anticipated!
The different camps around Botswana afforded me an exposure to different landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. I not only saw all the wild animals one normally associates with Africa namely Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah, Rhino, Hippo, African Wild Dogs, Giraffes, Springboks, Lechwes, Nile Crocodiles,-the list is endless- but I was also fortunate enough to spot rarer animals like the African wild cat (Chobe NP), the Honey Badger (Kwando Lagoon Camp) and a host of birdlife to delight even the most jaded of birdwatchers!!
The river cruises and the safari drives were well organised and there was no stress at any time, the guides and the trackers were trained, competent and professional which ensured that everyone stayed safe but had a great opportunity to spot a huge variety of wildlife up close including the more elusive animals.
I would book my next safari through African Ubuntu Safaris without any hesitation and I highly recommend them to anyone- be they individuals, couples, families or groups. The tours are certainly not cheap by conventional standards but definitely good value and for the comfort, safety, peace of mind and priceless wildlife encounters and experiences----definitely worth it!!

Using African Ubuntu Safaris made a first time trip to Africa worry free and very enjoyable.
The communications and service provided by African Ubuntu Safaris were both excellent from the time of first contact. Queries were answered promptly and the itinerary offered fitted budget and what I had hoped for. Visited 3 camps in Botswana and finished at Victoria Falls. All the camps were very comfortable, terrain beautiful and the staff helpful and professional. Guides and trackers were excellent. Wildlife sightings were outstanding. Couldn't have enjoyed myself more, absolutely loved it. In Zimbabwe had a lovely room at the Vic Falls Hotel and the tour of the falls was definitely a highlight.
As this was my first overseas trip for many years (first time to Africa) and I was travelling solo, I was quite nervous. I needn't have been. African Ubuntu made it very easy, organising all the bookings (including an extra activity in Vic Falls) and transfers which all went very smoothly. I'll be using them again for the next trip and would recommend them to anyone else thinking of going on safari in Africa.

Unique and totally enjoyable cultural and holiday experience
Communications were extremely efficient and we appreciate that you ensured clarity in response to all of our queries. Your service was aligned in response to our requirements, the holiday exceeded our expectations and the safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience with memories which we both treasure. Thank you African Ubuntu - you proved that you could always go the extra yard and we thoroughly recommend your service and thoughtful extras, like the wonderful coffee table book which we greatly appreciate. We would definitely use your service again if and when we return to Africa.

re Visit to African Game Lodges
Ubuntu were very helpful in providing alternative proposals to visit Game Lodges in Zambia/Chobe and Kruger park at quite short notice. We opted for Kruger Park because the weather there suited our timing for a visit to South Africa . Ubuntu reserved two lodges for us and arranged air transfers to and from Johannesburg and between parks.They also arranged for a representative to meet us in Johannesburg to familiarise ourselves with the transfer arrangements.
The Lodges were both excellent as was the game viewing. The air transfers all went as arranged.
We were very happy with the service provided.

I thought this would be a once in a lifetime experience - but I'm definitely coming back.
The two most common catch phrases on our safari were "Wow, look at that!" and "Oh, aren't they cute". It was a truly wonderful experience and I was gob smacked at how many animals we saw and how close we were to them. Apart from a few minor issues that were easily rectified, African Ubuntu Safaris' organisation of our trip was very good. Cuan McLaren was very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The tour guides/drivers, accommodation and food in both Kenya and Tanzania were excellent. January was a good time to travel - plenty of animals and the country side very green. The most safari trucks we saw in one area was 18 - (Serengeti - where we saw two cheetahs and a pride of 19 lions) but the guides said there can be up to 50 safari trucks in the high season. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris.

Trip of a lifetime
African Ubunti Safaris organised our trip to CapeTown, Johannesburg and the Simbavati Game Reserve. We were delighted with their organisation and their advice, which resulted in a trip of a lifetime for us. While the highlight was the wonderful Safari experience , we were also most impressed with the detailed planning which resulted in truly memorable stays in the cities. We quickly realised we could have every confidence in the travel arrangements put in place by African Ubantu Safaris and so could focus on the varied, fascinating itinerary at each stage of our trip.

A very well organised tour which provided an abundance of new experiences for the senses.
We all know what turns a holiday into a forgettable experience, but on this occassion not a single one of those usual dramas occurred. The simple things were done to perfection.....our luggage turned up, the tour guides were at the airport to transport us to this new land, the accommodation was brilliant - from stunning ocean views in Camps bay, to a porch off our ensuited tent in the Okovango Delta, elephants saundering past our tent in the middle of the night, camp kitchens providing 5 star meals, lions rubbing against out truck while travelling in the Ngorongoro crater, and for a change of pace high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel.........so many places, such a marvelous time........this traveller will return

African Ubuntu safaris went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with our tour.
We are grateful to you and to all your affiliates who gave us a great holiday. The itinerary was extensive and gave us an excellent chance to immerse ourselves into the culture of East Africa.
Accommodation, food and transport was of a very good standard with seamless transfers throughout the safari. From our arrival in Nairobi to our departure from Dar es Salaam, we were greeted everywhere with helpful, smiling faces.
We will definitely recommend your company to anyone thinking about travelling to Africa.

This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime for myself and husband and good value for money.
Our Kenyan tour guide, Alex, was exceptional, accommodation good and sometimes excellent and food superb. We initially thought the Kenya/Tanzania safari expensive as you pay in US$ but it was good value for money. We felt safe at all times given terrorist threats in Kenya but security was tight and we were pleased to be searched on entering hotels and supermarkets. The East Africans are extremely friendly and welcoming and we saw so many animals close up. I now want to go back again to other parts of Africa. We also found the Sydney office of African Ubuntu Safaris very helpful.
