An amazing trip to Africa which exceeded our expectations and ran like clockwork.
Thanks to Cuan and his team for arranging our tour to Africa. This tour was organised to perfection with an itinerary to meet our specific needs. We visited various wildlife parks in Kenya and Zimbabwe, all with differing wildlife and environments. What we experienced was amazing, including a lion kill right in front of our vehicle. The lodges we stayed in were stunning and the staff everywhere were extremely welcoming and friendly. Right from the first day of planning this trip, we were kept informed of all arrangements, with many helpful suggestions along the way. We think this trip was 10 star, not 5 star and we cannot thank Ubuntu Tours enough and highly recommend them. The only warning I would give is be prepared for a bumpy ride as the roads are terrible but that's not Ubuntu Tours fault.

Everything worked seamlessly.....
We were referred to African Ubuntu Safaris by friends who had used them previously. Cuan at Ubuntu Sydney tailored a package to meet our requirements (Tanzania itinerary, timing and cost) and the planning and the trip itself flowed without any connection or logistic difficulties. The tented camp experiences were particularly enjoyable and all accommodation was of a high standard. The local on-ground company Asilia was excellent and our knowledgeable, hard working driver / guide was a pleasure to be with. Plenty of spectacular wildlife. This trip certainly ranked with trips taken to Botswana and Zimbabwe 15 to 20 years ago.

A truly amazing safari to Kenya and Zanzibar, put together by your sensational Diederik!!
Diederik put together a tailor made Samburu, Mara and Zanzibar Safari ( 13 days) for us . The trip really captured the essence of safari in Kenya, in two different landscapes- Samburu and Mara. On arrival, we stayed at the Boma Hotel in Nairobi- a very comfortable oasis from the heat of Nairobi. Then we flew to Samburu, for 3 nights at Elephant Bedroom Camp. It was amazing to see elephants wander around the camp, and to see so much wildife in their natural habitat.The camp was very comfortable, with great food. We were also fortunate to have the services of Julius our guide.
We then flew to Mara for 3 nights at Ol Seki Hemingways Mara. Again great accommodation and food, and 2 great guides- Isaac and Agnes.
After week in Kenya we flew to Zanzibar for 5 nights- 1 night in Stone Town and 4 nights at The Z Hotel at Nungwi( on the beach). It was a very relaxing end to our safari- enjoying the clear waters of The Indian Ocean.
Diederik did an amazing job organising the trip- accommodation, tranfers and internal flights.. I would definitely recommend African Ubuntu Safaris!!!

Efficient, good value, varied, great customer service, first hand knowledge of Africa.
The safari tour was exactly what we had requested. Varied and excellent accommodation, wonderful wildlife, efficient, friendly guides who did their utmost to make sure we got the best experiences on our trip. Our small group Botswana/Zimbabwe tour was perfect. The vehicles used were comfortable. Our visit to the Impenetrable Forest in Uganda to see the gorillas was an absolutely amazing experience. The whole trip was great value, and the extra attention to detail, for example, being met by a South African member of Ubuntu at Johannesberg airport and being escorted to our hotel on the first night, and being met at Boma Guesthouse by Ubuntu’s Ugandan rep on landing in Entebbe made all the difference.
A huge thank you to Cuan McLaren at Ubuntu in Sydney for making it happen!

Really good tour in Kenya with All Time Safaris, love it!
All Time Safaris is a really good tour operator, they arrange your tour very well, and they know what you like and try their best to meet your request. Their arrangement is reasonable and flexible, everytime you have new request, they always be patient and give you good advise. The tour price they give is also reasonable and competitive.
I took my family in this tour, We were all satisified with our game drive in Kenya. The safari guide named Gideon, a experienced and nice safari guide. Gideon is a wordless person, but he knows what you like and try his best to find the animanls for you. Thanks to him, we have seen lots of animals in Kenya.
Overall, an unforgettable tour in Kenya, thanks to All Time Safaris gave us a excellent tour.

Review about South Luangwa National Park by Guillaume d'Autichamp
South Luangwa is Zambia's flaghsip park for so many good reasons :
Wildlife is extremely abundant and leopard sighting is probably the best in africa (not to mention the hippo density which at 25000 is the highest in the world)
We stayed at the very exclusive Mfue Lodge : everything was great here, except maybe the high number of visitors in the area: to avoid that we moved 86 km inside the Park in the Zungulila Bushcamp which has been our greatest safari experience so far (very exclusive bushcamp, amazing scenery, delicious food, very friendly staff, excellent guiding and hyenas laughing at night all around us): we saw a pack of 20 wild dogs and of course we had the traditionnal zambian sunset drink along the luangwa river !
Visitors numbers can seem high at the Mfue gate but as soon as you drive inside the park : wildlife is for yourself !!

Review about North Luangwa National Park by Guillaume d'Autichamp
North Luangwa is recommended for expert safari aficionados and for walking safaris especially !
We stayed 3 nights at the Mwaleshi camp along the Mwaleshi river
This was a great experience : we saw fewer animals than in the South park because we mostly made walking safaris: there a very few roads to drive in the park.
However the wildnerness experience was unparalleled : we tracked lion on foot and found them : at first a pride of 14 that were 100 meters close, and then a young lone male that rushed from the bush just 20 m ahead of us while roaring, we had great hippo encounters in the river (rafts of more than 100!). And of course as always in Zambia, guides were excellent, food was delicious and bush vibe was optimal
Not a destination for a first safari goer but very recoomended for those who want to experience animals encounters differently

Review about Kafue National Park by Guillaume d'Autichamp
We stayed 3 nights at the Mawimbi Bush cam and had the camp for ourselves and an extraorinary guide and staff.
This park is huge. We unfortunately missed the Busanga plains that were too far away but we just saw 2 other tourist cars in 2 days.
Our best wildlife highlights there: sable antelope, hartebeest, Leopard and bushpig
The diversisty of game species was great. Elephants were there but more skittish than in the Luangwa valley.
We really fell in love with Kafue which is still relatively unknown : time to enjoy it very soon.
