Ubuntu miraculously managed a complete holiday reschedule for four of us and did it with a smile.
When everything is running smoothly it all looks easy but it is when unexpected complications arise the worth of a really good Travel Agent comes to the fore. Ubuntu Safaris are really good Travel Agents.
Our South African-Zimbabwe-Botswana tour involving 6 flights and 7 locations had to be completely rescheduled due to a parent's illness which Ubuntu Safaris miraculously managed on our behalf. There was much to do and a lot of communications between all parties to make our wonderful tour happen and Ubuntu were tireless in their efforts to accommodate our needs. Ubuntu's recommendations and choices of accommodation and Safari Lodges were spot on. We will return to southern Africa one day and it will be through Ubuntu Safaris.

Great service, knowledgeable and friendly - couldn’t recommend more highly
Second Safari tour planned by African Ubuntu Safaris. Both have been incredible. Cuan’s knowledge and passion guarantee a brilliant African safari. Friendly, always willing to assist and professional.

A company that goes above and beyond, excellent local knowledge and service - highly recommend
In November we completed an amazing 22 night personalised tour for 4 people covering South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana with African Ubuntu Safaris. Cuan McLaren our principal contact was brilliant to deal with, as was there South African contact on the ground Gerald. One week before we were due to travel we had to defer our trip for two months and they handled the whole reschedule of 7 flights and 6 locations with minimal fuss. Not only that they were also in constant touch with us when South African Airlines went on strike mid holiday and organised alternative flights and transfers, plus they organised us a mid transfer stop for us to watch the Rugby World Cup Final. Our tour exceeded expectations, all the accommodation, transfers and tours were first class, we thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Africa and we be back. We would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safari for your African holiday, you will not be disappointed their knowledge of Africa and service were excellent.

An adventure we will never forget!
We highlighy recommend anyone travelling to Africa to get in touch with Cuan at African Ubuntu. Cuan did an outstanding job organising our trip to South & East Africa. It was an unforgettable trip and more magical than we ever imagined!
Cuan took the time to understand our travel interests and planned the trip to perfect - from transfers, selection of camps and safari tours.
Cuan was always willing to help, answering all of our queries promptly (not only during the planning stages but also during the journey).
Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime!

The recommendation for a tour that never happened
We never got to go on our safari in May 2020. We were looking forward to it but COVID prevented us from doing so. We would like to thank Cuan though for working with us to keep within our budget and put together what we believe would have been a wonderful personalised trip. We would also like to thank Cuan for working tirelessly for us to get our monies back. We are certain that he worked above and beyond for this. If this is the service that is given to a new client, then we have no hesitation to recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to anyone who is looking for a very reputable tour company. Thank you once again.

Professional, knowledgeable and delivered my dream trip to Uganda
To start with, by the time other travel agents had emailed me back, Cuan had already sourced and organised an ideal trip for me to Uganda, a primary objective being to see the Mountain Gorillas. Despite the immense challenges of the last two years, Cuan kept me updated regularly.
The trip itself certainly exceeded my expectations - especially as a solo traveller I was a little apprehensive. From the time I landed in Uganda to the time I left I was taken care of by exceptionally friendly, professionals from Wild Frontiers. The accommodation was outstanding - stunning rooms, locations, scenery, staff and food. All such great places to relax between the utterly incredible treks / safaris to see the amazing animals Uganda has to offer. The treks (I did two) to see the mountain gorillas were just surreal - there is nothing else on earth like seeing these stunning gentle giants in their habitat. Trekking to see the chimps in Kibale Forest was a close second.
I can highly recommend Cuan at Ubuntu African Safaris to ensure you have the best experience possible in Africa. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and great attention to detail.
Thanks again Cuan for a 5⭐️ Trip !
