Travelling in Africa now sets the new standard for flawless organisation
5/5

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
5/5

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.

A spectaular (hassle free) experience
5/5

The staff here in Australia were very helpful and patiently worked a number of different scenarios through with our group of 7. On the ground in Africa there were NO issues, which based on the logistics of this trip was truly amazing. The quality of the drivers we had and the accommodation that we stayed at were both first class. Thank you Ubuntu and thank you to all of those beautiful animals that made this such a memorable holiday and would recommend to anyone.

African Ubuntu Safaris, through Cuen McLaren, were most professional in organising all arrangements.
5/5

The whole safari experience exceeded all our wildest expectations. The driver guides, Peter of Pollmans in Kenya and Simon with Rangers in Tanzania were outstanding in their knowledge of and ability to find all types of wildlife. All the Lodge accommodation together with meals was first class. As far as value for money is concerned I don't believe you could find better. For the experience of a lifetime I would unreservedly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris.

Extremely helpful, professional & created an amazing life long experince for our group of 11 people.
5/5

Our tour was designed for 11 people- all who had varying expectations of "where to go & what to see".
Cuan did an incredible job in creating a tour that catered for everyone's wishes & requirements .
Due to Cuan's knowledge of Africa & his professionalism, we did not encounter 1 problem in the 34 days that we were away.
Each camp that we stayed in was unique, all were very comfortable & very different in what they offered - allowing us to have a great experince of a variety of cultures & animal life.
We would highly recommend anyone wishing to go to Africa to contact African Ubuntu to discuss their travel plans.

Amazing wildlife sightings enabled by seamlessly organised itinerary.
5/5

I admire and wholeheartedly thank Cuan of African Ubuntu Safaris for putting my vision of a safari into reality. Given my "basic" wishes, he devised a safari that suited both our animal sightseeing wishes and took our required levels of comfort and privacy into account.

Fantastic
5/5

African Ubuntu Safaris were fantastic. Cuan organised a safari holiday for us in Namibia and Botswana, with a couple of days in Zimbabwe. We explained to Cuan the type of accommodation and style of safari we wanted (including our budget and the number of other holidaymakers who would be joining us), and that our primary interest was wildlife viewing. Cuan could not have put together a better itinerary. We saw all the wildlife we could have hoped for, including the elusive African wild dogs in Chobe. The accommodation was awesome (the African people know how to look after international visitors extremely well), and the small group safaris were perfect.

I can't recommend African Ubuntu Safaris enough. Cuan actually listens to what you want to get our of your trip and makes suggestions which he considers will make your trip even better. His advice was invaluable. We loved our last trip so much that Cuan is already organising another trip for my parents to Tanzania and South Africa for early 2016. I'll also be asking Cuan to organise a trip for me to Uganda in 2017.

The best travel agent experience EVER
5/5

We were absolutely delighted with the arrangements made for us by Cuan McLaren at Ubuntu Safaris when our family visited Tanzania in 2013. His detailed insider knowledge of the lodges, the best routes to take and the best places for animal viewing was enormously valuable. He accommodated our every request, including linking us up with friends traveling from Switzerland, and created just the right balance of accommodation and cultural experiences for us, all within our budget. We've since recommended Ubuntu Safaris to friends, who have been similarly impressed. Thanks to Ubuntu, our holiday to Tanzania will remain a highlight for the whole family.
