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.

AMAZING
I am now back in Australia after an unforgettable trip to Tanzania. It truly was a trip of a lifetime. One word that i said several times a day was AMAZING. It was very emotional at times, exhilarating exhausting and inspiring. It was difficult at times to take everything in and i was on sensory over load a lot. I have many many "National Geographic" worthy photos to reflect upon and to show off. Spending $1200 on a 500mm lense was money well spent.
I was so fortunate to be with put with a group of the most "amazing" (there's that word again) people. All complete strangers at the beginning but firm friends after 8 days. So much so that we are all catching up in December when i travel to London and Europe. There were hugs and tears when we parted.
Our guide from Ranger Safaris Ndossy was brilliant. So knowledgeable on simply everything and a pleasure to be in his company.
All of the accommodation was first class. Very comfortable and welcomed after a long day bumping around on dirt roads and taking in the breath taking sights of Northern Tanzania. The staff and food at each establishment was faultless.
I was very fortunate to see the big 5 and there were also some unique sights that aren't mentioned in the tourist guides.
I will definitely be returning and am telling all of my friends and I have inspired many of my friends to do the same safari.
My flight to Zanzibar went off with out a hitch and spending 3 weeks on Zanzibar with old friends was wonderful and I certainly got to experience Zanzibar much more than the average tourist. It was bitter sweet leaving as i had met so many wonderful people and my FB page now has alot more friends on it.
Thanks so much to Diederik from African Ubuntu Safaris for holding my hand every step of the way from my first enquiry, to the follow up post holiday e mail. He gave me a lot of confidence particularly that I was travelling alone. African Ubuntu's service was first class and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others and use again for myself.

10 out of 10 for itinerary and organisation
African Ubuntu Safaris put together a fantastic safari and beach itinerary. The entire holiday was stress-free due to the excellent and perfectly co-ordinated service provided - not a minute of precious holiday time was wasted. Special thanks to Diederik for all the planning.

An outstanding adventure, was unsure what to expect, but it was amazing.
The whole tour was excellent. The accommodation was varied, as we requested, the guides very professional and the food more than adequate. What we saw in terms of the animals and the scenery while on safari was simply brilliant. The variety and volume of wildlife was beyond expectations, particularly how close we got and how safe we felt. The time of year, September, was excellent as there was limited cover for the animals as it was the end of the dry season. The only thing we would change is to have an extra day at Lake Victoria. The service received from Cuan and his father was excellent, both before and after the tour.

Great safari holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe
The safari holiday was very well planned and organised, Ubuntu kept us informed all the way. The recommended camps were first class both in terms of accommodation and wildlife. in addition, Ubuntu met us in Johannesburg both at the start and end of our holiday to assist with transfer from the international to the local flights. This was our first safari holiday and they certainly gave us a great experience, we will book again through Ubuntu.

Into the wild
From the inception of the tour in Sydney, the Ubuntu representative listened to our needs, made changes where necessary and offered suggestions that enhanced our experience. Our tour in Africa was well organized, the accommodation was even better than anticipated, we were met on arrivals on schedule and the Johannesburg representative went out of his way to assist one of our party who arrived with a health problem. The safaris more than lived up to expectations and the local guides were experienced and enthusiastic, going out of their way to track down elusive wildlife - the search was as exciting as the sightings themselves. I recommend Ubuntu Safaris and hope to join them on another safari in the near future.

I had my fair share in traveling
How can I squeeze all the great experiences into that small place ?
My expectation was high - very high. As a child Africa were in my dream destination and now I'm 57.
My friend and I after many mounts of planning decided on African Ubuntu Safaris.
E-mails, phone calls went back and ford and Cuan "worked for his money".
My friend and I are photographers there for it was important where and when.
Eventually we finalized everything and arrived in Der Salam Tanzania - that is where all the positive surprise started....
I could wright a short assay and itemize each service experience - but let me just say this I had my fair share in traveling but African Ubuntu Safaris surprised me every step in a good way and big time !!! Will going with those guys again ? - you bet !!!
Professional, Knowledable and friendly, adventure with peace of mind.
African Ubuntu Safaris is the most professional and friendly travel company I have dealt with, everything from the moment we first made contact with Cuan for a quote to receiving an email from him the day we returned home and everything in between, exceeded our expectations. We love Africa and all it has to offer and will certainly be traveling there again and look forward to dealing with Cuan and his team in the future. If i have to rate African Ubuntu Safaris service I would give it 10/10. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to anyone wishing to have an amazing adventure in Africa with complete peace of mind.

Travelling in Africa now sets the new standard for flawless organisation
Travelling through Kenya and Tanzania seemed a big scary thing before we did it. By the end, we became completely accustomed to the smooth machinery operating in the background, the fantastic accommodation and seamless transfers that just seemed to happen as if by magic. After our initial meeting with African Ubuntu, Cuan was able to recommend and configure a trip that ticked all our boxes. Accommodation and style of travel was exactly as we wanted, and in terms of wildlife, by mid-morning on the first day we'd seen more than we'd dare hope for the entire trip, and it just got better from there (we'd safaried in Zimbabwe before). In this age when you can easily book for own travel online, Cuan revalidates the role of the travel agent by firstly listening to what you want, and then drawing on his deep experience in the region and knowledge of local operators. Highly recommended.

Friendly, exciting creating memories that will last a lifetime
Communications were excellent, service outstanding. Our tour took us to five different countries where we were treated like one of the family. Our request was to spend most of our time viewing the many animals of Africa and we were rewarded far beyond our expectations. I recommend AFRICAN UBUNTU SAFARIS to all who wish to visit that Country and thank Management and Guides for a most memorable holiday.
