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!

Professional, helpful and very knowledgeable about South Africa and Africa.
African Ubuntu Safaris were able to put a trip together very quickly for my girlfriend and myself. We had done limited research as the trip came around very quickly for us. We were very happy with the initial discussion regarding our holiday with Cuan and his team. Cuan was able to guide us through our itinerary, suggest some changes, made some great suggestions and then made it all happen. A trip of a life time!
Even though several iterations to our itinerary were required Ubuntu Safaris were able to make it all happen in record time.
We loved our safari experience, it was 'real', no frills but connected us to the animals and land. An experience we will never forget.
I would definitely recommend Ubuntu Safaris and in fact already have.

A Perfect Safari Experience
This was our second safari experience with Ubuntu and once again we benefited from Cuan McLaren’s extensive knowledge of African wildlife regions, tour operators and accommodation providers. Cuan organised an itinerary that met our requirements and exceeded our expectations. It gave us a great variety of experiences across Botswana, Tanzania and Rwanda. His attention to customer service is exemplary and the entire trip went without a hitch. We are already planning our next African safari (our fourth visit) and of course we will be using Ubuntu. We can highly recommend Ubuntu.

What an amazing experience. Cuan tailored our trip and exceeded all our expectations
We were a group of eight friends who were recommended to contact Cuan for our dream holiday to South Africa. Cuan came up with an amazing itinerary including options we would not have thought of and we went further on than South Africa. All our internal flights, accommodation, transfers along with some extra experiences where included. Everything went off like clockwork. The accommodation Cuan chose for us was outstanding and would trust his judgement on any choices when we return to Africa , hopefully sooner rather than later.I'm sure our holiday and Africa was made that bit more special because of Cuan and his attention to detail. We look forward to our next African safari with African Ubuntu Safaris.

First Class Service
We had a fabulous experience with Cuan and his team organising our recent 1st trip to Africa. After initially making contact with Cuan, giving him a budget and an outline of where we wanted to go and see, he was able to prepare an itinerary which surpassed our expectations. The quality of accommodation, travel guides, pick ups and transport where first class. Our holiday was amazing value for money too and wouldn't hesitate in recommending African Ubuntu Safaris to our friends and family. We will use Cuan and his team again.

Understood our requirements and tailored the tour to what we wanted
We were recommended to Ubuntu Safaris by a well travelled friend. We normally do a lot of travel organisation ourselves after a lot of research. With our event trip to South Africa, we had a rough outline of where we wanted to go and gave this to Cuan at Ubuntu. He took our outlines, expanded upon it and got to know us and what we were looking for and tailored the itinerary to us. His choices of accommodation were spot on, great locations, helpful hosts and gave us a real taste of South Africa. When we had a question Cuan took these on and handled the request or issue. He was frank and very helpful in his suggestions having taken the time to understand how we travel and what interested us. He was 100% right on every occasion. I would highly recommend Cuan and Ubuntu.
