Amazing Experience
We first met Moses in 2011 when he was our guide at Selinda camp. We were really impressed by his knowledge and tracking of animals so when he started his own business we did not hesitate in booking a trip for our 10th wedding anniversary. Mobile camping was something new to us as we have only ever stayed in lodges. We need not have worried though everything was fine. We had an amazing time, the food cooked on a camp fire by Moses two was amazing, the best fillet of beef I have ever tasted. He even made us a chocolate cake for our wedding anniversary complete with 10 candles. Our anniversary lunch was a table for two complete with champagne on ice overlooking a hippo pool. Our camp crew Bros and Carlos made sure that we had everything we required and the camp was always beautifully set up when we arrived a a new reserve. Some people thought we were crazy sleeping in a tent in the bush. We did have hyena in most nights, a leopard and a lion but listening to the Hyena's outside made it all the more amazing. It is our intention to go back and travel to the Kalahari in the future. So if you fancy a few nights in the bush I can really recommend Moses and his team at Unlimited Tours and Safaris.

Great safari to Masai Mara with a perfect organisation and perfect driver
Very good and quick Chat by email in advance; all questions were answered properely. Very good organization throughout the Safari. Our Driver John did a perfect Job: very carefully in driving due to rainy season and excellent guide in the wildlife. Accomodation in the tent was Basic but ok and clean; Food provided good. All day gamedrive was perfect with a petty picknick in the middle of masai mara.

Camping in the delta
I spent a few days with Afrika Ecco Safaris in the delta, this was a very well organized trip with a great campsite, nice tents with private bathrooms! and a fantastic group of people making our stay unforgettable. Everyone, the guides, the cook, people helping on the campsite were so very nice and really well informed (and proud!) on their delta. We did some great trips in the Mokoro-boats, including a sun-down, a bushwalk and just cruising the delta. I have the best memories of this part of the world and the people welcoming us in their home. I would certainly go back!

Excellent service, communication skills and high standards in their knowledge of the Okavango delta.
When we arrived in the middle of nature, it was a relief to find this great crew and their perfect facilities. They guided us through 2 nights and days in the Okavango delta in a comfortable manner. Also hey were able to communicate their knowledge about the delta extensively en deliver top class food.

excellent company - very good organisation
We climbed Kilimanjaro (Machame Route) with this agency. They took care of everything. Friendly people. The guides very kind and gave us a daily feedback and briefing. The food on the mountain was very good. After our climb we went on a 5 days/4 nights camping safari. Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris arranged a trip for us at Taranguire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara NP. Again we were very satisfied. Their guide knew very well where he had to go at what moment, so we saw all the wildlife (including rhino's). We had a wonderfull 2 weeks : in short : I would recommend this company to everybody.

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
I would recommend this tour for absolutely anyone who wants a great African experience. Myself and a small group of friends did a safari through Uganda, Kenya and finishing in Tanzania a few months ago. The tour itself was amazing visiting parts of the world you never dreamed you would go and experiencing things you could only imagine like trekking the mountain gorillas in bwindi impenetrable forest or whitewater rafting in the Nile! Our tour guide James was excellent and could spot animals from anywhere!!! I saw more wildlife in those 25 days then I have seen in my life!! We went way beyond the big five and were even lucky enough hang out with Mountain Gorillas, chimps, hunting dogs, rhinos aswell as everything else! James was great company a pleasure to be around and even taught us some Swahili words aswell as an easy song!! Our cook Costa was incredible I always looked forward to eating his meals. Everyday was an adventure with something different we did plenty of game drives, boat tours, walks, bike tour, white water rafting, bungee jumping and a night game drive. The tours there are great they really are tailor made to suit you which means you get the exact experience that your looking for! Overall the trip an amazing experience!!! I will definitely return for another adventure and recommend to anyone thinking of experiencing Africa.

WONDERFUL AFRICAN SAFARI.
The Kruger Park photographic safari experience was absolute amazing. Dick Berry's knowledge and guidance on how to use your camera for the best wild life photos is unbelievable. His has lots of patience in guiding you to make sure your photos are top class. The Lodges were wonderful and the staff very friendly. His chef at the Lodge served the most amazing dishes. While on safari, we had opportunities to get real close to the animals and in some cases actually touch them. Wow! what a safari.

Uncomplicated, well working safari
Arriving in Tansania we had the wish to go on Safari for some days and found near by Arusha in Usa River this Safari Organizer who could arrange a Safari for us within two days (of course it was low season;-)
With our guide and driver Elias we spent three special days in the North of Tansania, visiting Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP and the Ngorongoro Crater. Elias tried to give us an view on the tribes living here in the north peacefully together. He drove us with safe handling on each kind of road and was a patient driver in the NP's who showed us nice places to see the animals near by and to have a view on the impressing nature.
Also our lodge in Mto wa Mbu- the twiga lodge- was a good place to stay- with its clean rooms, nice food and over all the pool.
Thanks to Elias and to Rose and Albert
Excellent and friendly advice, flawless planning, stress-free experience.
Right from the first contact with Cuan, everything just fell into place so seamlessly that I ended up-and I say this without a skerrick of exaggeration- enjoying the trip of a lifetime! I stumbled across African Ubuntu Safaris on the net and was intrigued by the name; also the website was well laid out and easily navigable. Cuan was very helpful, patient, friendly and upfront with his advice and I found him very trustworthy.
The whole itinerary was well tailored to suit my budget and preferences; the package wasn't cheap by normal standards but I can unhesitatingly state that the experiences I had far exceeded my expectations-in fact the accommodation at the camps were more luxurious than I had anticipated!
The different camps around Botswana afforded me an exposure to different landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. I not only saw all the wild animals one normally associates with Africa namely Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah, Rhino, Hippo, African Wild Dogs, Giraffes, Springboks, Lechwes, Nile Crocodiles,-the list is endless- but I was also fortunate enough to spot rarer animals like the African wild cat (Chobe NP), the Honey Badger (Kwando Lagoon Camp) and a host of birdlife to delight even the most jaded of birdwatchers!!
The river cruises and the safari drives were well organised and there was no stress at any time, the guides and the trackers were trained, competent and professional which ensured that everyone stayed safe but had a great opportunity to spot a huge variety of wildlife up close including the more elusive animals.
I would book my next safari through African Ubuntu Safaris without any hesitation and I highly recommend them to anyone- be they individuals, couples, families or groups. The tours are certainly not cheap by conventional standards but definitely good value and for the comfort, safety, peace of mind and priceless wildlife encounters and experiences----definitely worth it!!
