The tour operator was knowledgeable and very friendly
I was absolutely thrilled with my recent 3-day tour to Queen Elizabeth National Park organized by Deluxe Vacations Uganda! From start to finish, the experience was impeccable.
First and foremost, the safari Land Cruiser provided a comfortable and smooth ride through the park. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out wildlife and sharing fascinating insights about the park's ecosystem. The 2 game drives we had were spectacular, with close-up views of elephants, lions, and even the elusive leopard!
The highlight of the trip was the surprise sundowner that Deluxe Vacations organized for us. As the sun set over the savannah, we were treated to a beautiful setup with drinks and snacks, making for a magical and unforgettable evening.
The commitment to quality and safety was evident throughout the trip, and the personalized attention we received made us feel special. I highly recommend Deluxe Vacations Uganda to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience in Uganda!

Smooth and safe travel
Very much appreciated the good communication and professionalism of our driver Mr. Thapelo. We had a safe and smooth transport from JNB to the Kruger.
A fantastic and thoughtful trip at beautiful lodges!
Shortly after we contacted her, Chloe planned a fantastic trip for us that hit all the places we wanted to visit in a thoughtful, well-arranged tour. She picked spectacular lodges for us and arranged the trip to make the best possible use of our time, allowing us to see the most we could in two weeks. We were thrilled with the animals we saw from the start to the end of the trip, and I've done this enough to know our experience was a reflection of the excellence of the guides. We hope to come back to the region someday and will definitely contact her again when we do.

Super knowledgeable guides and custom tours
We picked Mercy Yetu because they were the only company willing to do a custom Safari for our family and they had competitive prices and good reviews. We were overall extremely impressed with the knowledge of our driver, Saidi. Saidi appeared to be known among the other Safari drivers as one of the best. He knew the big game animals of course and was excellent at spotting them, he also knew all the birds and plants as well, the number of different animals species in the various parks, ecology, etc. there really wasn’t anything he didn’t know.
The itinerary was great, and the lodging excellent.
We also booked a private driver through them- Donald, to take us near Dodoma. He was an amazing driver for this long 8 hour journey.
Peter, who does the booking, was always in contact to make sure the trip was going well.
Really, you cannot go wrong with this company. They are the best.

Proactive , helpful and kind people that provide good value for money
We really enjoyed our Tsavo safari. John reacted swiftly and advised us on the different options. They offered the sharpest prices. When there was an issue with the accommodation, it was solved quickly. Man Eaters Lodge is located beautifully along the Tsavo river, where we saw elephants, hippo and a territorial crocodile, right from the lodge. The staff is ever so friendly. it is some 15 minute drive to Manyani Gate. Our driver was a very capable one and manoeuvred us around very well and thanks to him we were lucky enough to see many animals, including lions and buffalos, giraffes and endless number of elephants! We will definitely contact Trav-Interactive next time we go on safari.

2 day Suricata safari
10/10 experience. From being collected from Arusha bus station to being dropped of at Arusha airport we were looked after and cared for by the Suricata team. Our driver Joseph was amazing and we managed to see 4/5 of the big five along with many other amazing animals. Joseph was amazing and knew everything about all the animals and answered all the questions we threw at him. Meeting new people as a part of a group safari was also exciting and interesting. The lodge we stayed at was good and the food throughout the trip was great. Would recommend to anyone

An incredible trip!
We were referred to African Ubuntu Safaris by a friend who worked in the travel industry.
We are Victorian based and dealt with Cuan over email and phone. We initially rang Cuan and explained what areas we wanted to go to in Africa, experiences we wanted to have, and dates we had to work with. Within 2-3 days Cuan had emailed back 3 Itinerary options, and within about a week, we had flights, accommodation and all transfers booked.
We only booked 6-8 weeks out from going and wanted to see a lot in 2 weeks. Somehow, Cuan orchestrated packing in everything we asked for. We managed to get fabulous accommodation (hotel and lodges) across Victoria Falls, and a combination of fishing, water and land safaris across Zimbabwe, Namibia, and the Delta and Salt Pans in Botswana, which all offered unique & different experiences.
Due to our short travel window of 2 weeks inclusive of travel from Australia, we had a combination of 2 & 3 nights stays to fit everything in. We knew our trip was going to be fast, however we wish we planned a few extra days of travel, so we could have stayed 3 nights at the water & fishing lodge as there was so much to do (and we left some Tiger Fish out there!), and 4 nights in the Delta. If you have more than 2 weeks, we would recommend 3 nights (+) at most lodges.
One of us is a very detailed person, and Cuan answered all our questions via phone/email, was incredibly responsive, and they also have an office on the ground in South Africa if you need help resolving any issues you may have on your trip.
We were very hesitant to outsource to an agent, however this is the type of trip you need to outsource. I highly recommended for travellers seeking no stress travel as everything on our 14-day trip was planned perfectly for us! We just had to turn up. I would recommend Cuan from African Ubuntu Safaris to family and friends and would use again when we go back!
Thank you!
