10 out of 10 for itinerary and organisation
5/5

African Ubuntu Safaris put together a fantastic safari and beach itinerary. The entire holiday was stress-free due to the excellent and perfectly co-ordinated service provided - not a minute of precious holiday time was wasted. Special thanks to Diederik for all the planning.

AMAZING
5/5

I am now back in Australia after an unforgettable trip to Tanzania. It truly was a trip of a lifetime. One word that i said several times a day was AMAZING. It was very emotional at times, exhilarating exhausting and inspiring. It was difficult at times to take everything in and i was on sensory over load a lot. I have many many "National Geographic" worthy photos to reflect upon and to show off. Spending $1200 on a 500mm lense was money well spent.

I was so fortunate to be with put with a group of the most "amazing" (there's that word again) people. All complete strangers at the beginning but firm friends after 8 days. So much so that we are all catching up in December when i travel to London and Europe. There were hugs and tears when we parted.
Our guide from Ranger Safaris Ndossy was brilliant. So knowledgeable on simply everything and a pleasure to be in his company.
All of the accommodation was first class. Very comfortable and welcomed after a long day bumping around on dirt roads and taking in the breath taking sights of Northern Tanzania. The staff and food at each establishment was faultless.
I was very fortunate to see the big 5 and there were also some unique sights that aren't mentioned in the tourist guides.
I will definitely be returning and am telling all of my friends and I have inspired many of my friends to do the same safari.
My flight to Zanzibar went off with out a hitch and spending 3 weeks on Zanzibar with old friends was wonderful and I certainly got to experience Zanzibar much more than the average tourist. It was bitter sweet leaving as i had met so many wonderful people and my FB page now has alot more friends on it.
Thanks so much to Diederik from African Ubuntu Safaris for holding my hand every step of the way from my first enquiry, to the follow up post holiday e mail. He gave me a lot of confidence particularly that I was travelling alone. African Ubuntu's service was first class and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others and use again for myself.

This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime for myself and husband and good value for money.
5/5

Our Kenyan tour guide, Alex, was exceptional, accommodation good and sometimes excellent and food superb. We initially thought the Kenya/Tanzania safari expensive as you pay in US$ but it was good value for money. We felt safe at all times given terrorist threats in Kenya but security was tight and we were pleased to be searched on entering hotels and supermarkets. The East Africans are extremely friendly and welcoming and we saw so many animals close up. I now want to go back again to other parts of Africa. We also found the Sydney office of African Ubuntu Safaris very helpful.

African Ubuntu safaris went out of their way to ensure that we were happy with our tour.
5/5

We are grateful to you and to all your affiliates who gave us a great holiday. The itinerary was extensive and gave us an excellent chance to immerse ourselves into the culture of East Africa.
Accommodation, food and transport was of a very good standard with seamless transfers throughout the safari. From our arrival in Nairobi to our departure from Dar es Salaam, we were greeted everywhere with helpful, smiling faces.
We will definitely recommend your company to anyone thinking about travelling to Africa.

A very well organised tour which provided an abundance of new experiences for the senses.
5/5

We all know what turns a holiday into a forgettable experience, but on this occassion not a single one of those usual dramas occurred. The simple things were done to perfection.....our luggage turned up, the tour guides were at the airport to transport us to this new land, the accommodation was brilliant - from stunning ocean views in Camps bay, to a porch off our ensuited tent in the Okovango Delta, elephants saundering past our tent in the middle of the night, camp kitchens providing 5 star meals, lions rubbing against out truck while travelling in the Ngorongoro crater, and for a change of pace high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel.........so many places, such a marvelous time........this traveller will return

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

African Ubunti Safaris organised our trip to CapeTown, Johannesburg and the Simbavati Game Reserve. We were delighted with their organisation and their advice, which resulted in a trip of a lifetime for us. While the highlight was the wonderful Safari experience , we were also most impressed with the detailed planning which resulted in truly memorable stays in the cities. We quickly realised we could have every confidence in the travel arrangements put in place by African Ubantu Safaris and so could focus on the varied, fascinating itinerary at each stage of our trip.

I thought this would be a once in a lifetime experience - but I'm definitely coming back.
5/5

The two most common catch phrases on our safari were "Wow, look at that!" and "Oh, aren't they cute". It was a truly wonderful experience and I was gob smacked at how many animals we saw and how close we were to them. Apart from a few minor issues that were easily rectified, African Ubuntu Safaris' organisation of our trip was very good. Cuan McLaren was very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The tour guides/drivers, accommodation and food in both Kenya and Tanzania were excellent. January was a good time to travel - plenty of animals and the country side very green. The most safari trucks we saw in one area was 18 - (Serengeti - where we saw two cheetahs and a pride of 19 lions) but the guides said there can be up to 50 safari trucks in the high season. I would highly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris.

re Visit to African Game Lodges
5/5

Ubuntu were very helpful in providing alternative proposals to visit Game Lodges in Zambia/Chobe and Kruger park at quite short notice. We opted for Kruger Park because the weather there suited our timing for a visit to South Africa . Ubuntu reserved two lodges for us and arranged air transfers to and from Johannesburg and between parks.They also arranged for a representative to meet us in Johannesburg to familiarise ourselves with the transfer arrangements.
The Lodges were both excellent as was the game viewing. The air transfers all went as arranged.
We were very happy with the service provided.

Unique and totally enjoyable cultural and holiday experience
5/5

Communications were extremely efficient and we appreciate that you ensured clarity in response to all of our queries. Your service was aligned in response to our requirements, the holiday exceeded our expectations and the safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience with memories which we both treasure. Thank you African Ubuntu - you proved that you could always go the extra yard and we thoroughly recommend your service and thoughtful extras, like the wonderful coffee table book which we greatly appreciate. We would definitely use your service again if and when we return to Africa.
