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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Professional, Knowledable and friendly, adventure with peace of mind.
5/5

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.

I had my fair share in traveling
5/5

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 !!!

Into the wild
5/5

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.

Great safari holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe
5/5

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.
