Ubuntu is a complex word with many meanings, but the essence is "I am because we are", emphasising connectedness among us all.

Travelling as a couple for 6 weeks we were totally blown away with every aspect of the trip organised by Cuan.

Despite us booking relatively late for this trip, Cuan did a magnificent job in organising a total package for us at short notice. The communications process at booking time and then after our return was excellent and all requests were quickly managed.

The standard of accommodation, safari experiences and quality of food more than met our expectations. All local guides were very well versed in their roles and were a pleasure to travel with.

All transport connections and flights operated without any issues and transfers from transport points to hotels/camps were seamless.

One exceptional experience for us was the Pangolin Lodge near the Chobe National Park. Open only 12 months, this place was brilliant, especially their photo safaris on the river. At Cuan's suggestion, we also went to the Northern Serengeti and this was one of the most memorable parts of the trip as we got to witness the Wildebeest migration. Our stay a Nasikia Mobile Camp was a highlight.

If visiting Africa again, we would immediately contact Cuan at African Ubuntu Safaris and we would recommend them to anyone considering a trip to that part of the world.

The safari experience with African Ubuntu absolutely lived up to all expectations. The organisation was brilliant in every detail.

We had an idea around a a southern African adventure. Cuan helped turn that into reality with superb locations across Botswana and Zambia. The wildlife we saw was amazing as were the lodges.

I can't say enough good things about African Ubuntu Safaris. They knew the right people and the right places which
