Ubuntu Travel Reviews

the team at ubuntu made sure we had an amazing time during our 3 week stay in Africa! Highly recommend for anybody who is looking to travel to Africa!

We chose Ubuntu for our honeymoon and to say they exceeded expectations is an understatement. Kyle, Leah, Jenna and team were there EVERY step of the way to make us feel comfortable and give us an experience that was life changing. They listened to what was important to us and curated a beautiful, romantic trip. Every recommendation was a huge hit and they provided an itinerary that let us focus all of of our attention on the experience rather than the little things. I can't recommend using them more, I promise you, it will be worth every single penny. Thank you Ubuntu for a once in a lifetime memory.

Jenn and Team were phenomenal! We started our adventure a year ago when we booked and Ubuntu could not have been any better!! They listened to what we wanted to see, worked within our budget , and put together a once in a lifetime trip !! From talking us through every aspect, how to pack , visas, etc … to facetime calls to answer all our questions , we knew we were getting 5 star treatment ! Once we arrived in Africa , James was there to meet us , collected our bags, walked us through every part of passport checks etc . He was an amazing guide for our day in Nairobi, and picked us up early for our flight to the Masai Mara. He checked us in on the fight and made sure everything was perfect before he left .we were met by our First guide from Sand River Camp , and from the moment we climbed in his truck the adventure began both camps we stayed in were amazing , sand river and cotters 1920, our accommodations were perfect with the best views in each camp , the food and service were second to non and both Safari Guides were amazing and we consider them family now . The worst part of the trip was having to say goodbye and come home . James met us again and took us to our day hotel , he again came in, and there was a problem with our booking , within in minutes he had called and had us upgraded to 5 star hotel !! I have traveled the world, and I can honestly say Ubuntu travel is the best agency I have ever used!! I will use them again and tell everyone I know and those reading this review, stop searching you have found the best there is in Ubuntu. Again Thank you so much Jenn and team !!

We had a fabulous experience with Ubuntu Travel! They were incredibly helpful in designing the perfect trip to Cape Town and South Africa for a safari. Leah listened to our family dynamic and goals for our vacation and catered to our needs, creating a truly incredible trip. The tours in Cape Town were very informative and thorough allowing us to get a sense of that wonderful city before we headed to the lodges for the safari portion of our trip. We saw every possible animal and the accommodations and food were fantastic. The travel to and from each location was seamless and we were guided to each destination with ease. Thank you to the entire Ubuntu Team for a truly extraordinary experience!!

We just returned from our safari to Kenya. We had the absolute best time and I cannot say enough great things about how wonderful and smooth our experience was with Ubuntu Travel. They did not miss a single detail in the planning and executing of our trip. All their staff were incredible to work with. We will definitely be taking another trip in the future and I will absolutely be booking it through Ubuntu Travel again!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Completely organized and helpful from the initial planning to the last day of the trip. Suggestions were perfect and well thought out. 14 game drives and 11 plane flights without a missed greeting off the plane, problem with customs and immigration or ride to all the fabulous locations. Pictures are incredible but did not attach because cannot show the attention to detail and in person excitement. Would recommend Ubuntu Travel if you want perfect planning for a life changing experience.

We can not highly enough recommend Ubuntu Travel for your trip to Africa! When we thought we would have to cancel less than four months before our trip, Kyle Green made sure we had a workable solution to a health concern. Jenna Chase kept us informed about our trip as we approached our departure date. Josie du Perez helped us make a last-minute change to one of our touring days in Johannesburg. My husband and I traveled to Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. The properties where we stayed were comfortable with great food and friendly staff. Our wildlife viewing was spectacular, as were our tours around Johannesburg, train trip on Rovos Rail, and morning viewing Victoria Falls. Our guides made what would have been neat visits so much more enjoyable! You will not go wrong with Nelson from Jarat Tours in South Africa, Kelly at Little Tubu in Botswana, Oris at Kingspool in Botswana, Sepu from African Wanderer in Zimbabwe, Dave and Themble at The Motse in South Africa, Roderick at the AECI Dynamite Factory Museum in South Africa, and Joe at Rovos Rail in South Africa. We treasure the time we spent with each of them.

Ubuntu organized a trip to Botswana and Uganda for my wife and I. From the moment we arrived in Africa we were taken care of by friendly and professional people. Ubuntu did a great job setting everything up and helping us have a wonderful experience. We 100% recommend them to anyone traveling to Africa.

Ubuntu Travel did a wonderful and thorough job for our family Safari in July.The planning and all logistics were excellent for each of the camps that we visited. We have been to Africa several times before and Ubuntu travel was clearly the best that we have ever experienced.

We just got back from our safari honeymoon and it was absolutely incredible! From our initial discovery call with Ubuntu all the way through landing back in Chicago went great. They were able to help make all our dreams come true: Giraffe Manor, glamping and hot air ballooning in the Serengeti, dhow sunset boat tour in Zanzibar along with reservations at The Rock. We met a lot of others on safari from the US and every single one we encountered commented on how nice our hats and bags were. They stated they either received nothing from their travel company or got a bottle of water with the company's logo. They were also impressed with our travel itinerary app that Ubuntu had us download (which came in very handy) as we came across one couple who was on safari for 35 nights traveling between many countries and their travel company had them print off and carry around 100+ pages of information. We also loved that Ubuntu and ground crew created a Whatsapp text thread and someone was always there to respond in case we needed anything. We will definitely be using Ubuntu in the future for our other dream trips. I can't recommend them enough! I happened to find Ubuntu on a whim through a Google search and am grateful I did!

We’ve used Ubuntu twice now for trips on the African continent. They planned a 5 week trip in which we saw and experienced South Africa. Wineries, Capetown, the Garden Route, game reserves, Lesoto, and Eswatini (Swaziland), the depth and breadth of the trip was amazing and their organization was able to fix any problem that surfaced. This was in 2021. This year they planned a 26 day trip that took us to 8 different safari camps in Botswana and Zimbabwe, including 3 nites at an Island resort on the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls. The diversity of the places chosen showcased perfectly each reserve and the wild life was spectacular. They even hand picked the guides we were to use based upon their own personal experience at the camps. The whole trip was seamless, flights from camp to camp happened exactly as scheduled, the organization was flawless. We recommend them to anyone wanting a very professionally run and interesting trip, be it purely sightseeing seeing, safari ing, or a mix of both.

The agents at Ubuntu Travel provided us with a magical and unforgettable experience in Africa! Prior to our trip, they spoke extensively with us about our wants, needs, and expectations and used that information to customize the perfect experience for us. Our trip included 4-day stay in Cape Town followed by visits to Victoria Falls and four different game camps. Throughout the trip, Ubuntu checked-in with us regularly to ensure that all was going well. Due to their careful planning, every transition went flawlessly and our experiences in each locale were of the highest standards. The trip not only met her expectations, but far exceeded them and we cannot recommend Ubuntu more highly!

While I didn't get to go on the trip, I did plan it for my principle and family, and I have to say, this was one of the easiest trips I have ever worked on... and there have been a lot. Ubuntu came to us by family recommendation, and I am so glad that we went with them for this trip of a lifetime. It was so easy from start to finish, and I know my principle and family had an amazing time. Thank you so much Jenna and team for making this an amazing trip!

You won't regret booking your African adventure with Ubuntu Travel. Leah listened to what we wanted to experience, and worked to fit our wish list into our budget. Jenna made sure that no detail was overlooked. Every hotel, lodge, transfer, and tour guide was planned to make sure we enjoyed every minute of our trip. The Simbavati Hilltop Lodge and Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge were two different safari lodging experiences, but we thoroughly enjoyed both. Our Capetown tour guide, Rob, was knowledgeable and we had a great day while he drove us to the Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach. Let Ubuntu Travel make your Africa trip planning stress-free. All you need to do is pack your bag and hop on the plane!

Ubuntu took all of our requests, and put together a perfect itinerary for our African Safari. Originally we planned 12 days, but they offered so many exciting options that we chose 16. Every step of the way was carefully orchestrated and managed to give my wife and I exactly what we hoped for and a lot more. If you want to go to Africa and have a smooth and awesome trip, we highly recommend Ubuntu.

We are very experienced travellers but being my first trip to Africa I wanted some professional help in planning our safari as I was concerned it could be quite complex with bush flights and transfers between lodges. Kyle, Leah and Jenna were incredible from start to finish and the whole trip ran seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble and communication whilst we were in Africa was exceptional. I would highly recommend anyone looking to travel to Africa to get in touch with Ubuntu!

My wife and I planned our honeymoon to Africa with Ubuntu. The trip was tremendous. Leah was our trip planner and she worked tirelessly to get us the trip of our dreams. During planning, we made major alterations to the trip several times in terms of dates and budget as we learned more about Africa. Leah was with us every step of the way, quickly adjusting to what she thought the ideal trip would be, and providing excellent recommendations. Without experience, booking a safari vacation can be difficult, and Ubuntu made this process fun and easy. Would absolutely recommend.

We cannot speak more highly of the experience we had with Ubuntu! They planned a spectacular honeymoon for my wife and I through South Africa and Zimbabwe, and we had the greatest time! They were responsive to our requests, thoughtful about our itinerary, and excellent at choosing the best destinations that made our trip wonderful! We worked with Leah and Jenna, specifically, and we thought they helped coordinate the best honeymoon we could have asked for!

Our trip to Rwanda, Northern Serengeti and Kenya was seamless. We felt safe and well cared for every step of the way. Our trip was everything and more that we hoped for!

Ubuntu Travel was a 10+ in EVERY respect from the planning stages that began months before our trip to when we returned home. Every aspect of our adventure exceeded all expectations. From More Quarters boutique hotel in Cape Town through all three game camps we saw incredible wildlife and met amazing people - other guests, tour guides, rangers, trackers, waiters, butlers, and every & Beyond representative. Ubuntu is a personalized full-service operation led by gifted and deeply committed husband and wife, Kyle and Leah Green, and a team of experts all of whom are “family”who will create a trip of a lifetime. Give yourself a gift by reaching out to Ubuntu and meeting with Kyle and Leah. It will be the best travel decision you ever make. Laird & Maggie Hayes, Newport Beach CA
