Experience a Tailor-Made Luxury Safari With Us!

At Ubuntu Travel, a luxury African safari is a seamless blend of personal attention, human connection, prime accommodations, and responsible tourism. We curate bespoke safari experiences with immersive wildlife encounters in pristine wilderness areas, ensuring comfort, meaningful connections, and support for conservation and community development projects.

Yes, African safaris are very safe! Safari guides and staff are highly trained to ensure guest safety, understanding and recognizing animal behaviors. Our partners take extreme precautions, respecting the space of wild animals, to provide a secure environment for both guests and wildlife during their safari experiences. However, we must remember that these are wild animals and therefore can react conversely to what we might expect. It is always important to respect this and follow your guide’s instructions at all times.

With a continent so diverse in its destinations, landscapes, and safari experiences, pinpointing the best safari in Africa isn’t easy. But that’s why we are here. As a luxury African Safari Tour Agency, we’ve curated safaris across the continent, from South Africa’s Big Five safaris to the Great Wildebeest Migration in Tanzania and Kenya, and gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda. Where is the best safari destination for you? While that truly depends on what you hope to experience, let’s organize a time to chat and plan your African Safari. For now, check out our blog post, “13 Most Popular African Countries to Visit.”

We customize journeys for individuals, couples, families, and private groups of all sizes, specializing in luxury safaris in Southern and East Africa. Through our conversations, we work closely with you to design safari itineraries that perfectly align with your travel goals, ensuring every adventure and experience is a bucket-list highlight.

Once you have confirmed your safari with us, our Director of Operations, Jenna Chase, will assist and guide you through all pre-travel arrangements, including travel insurance advice and visa applications. She will personally walk you through every aspect of your trip to alleviate any concerns you might have.

We don’t leave you there. Throughout your entire trip, you will have direct 24/7 access to our team in both the USA and South Africa, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish.

At Ubuntu Travel, we stand out by offering truly personalized, luxury safaris that seamlessly blend adventure, conservation, and cultural experiences. As a family-run agency with firsthand African travel experience, we prioritize authentic, human connections and provide 24/7 support throughout your journey. Our commitment to sustainable and ethical tourism also ensures that your travels positively impact both wildlife and local communities.

We recommend booking your safari anywhere from six months to a year in advance, to be sure that you are able to secure your preferred accommodations and travel routes, as most lodges have limited accommodations and rooms fill up well in advance. If you are sure of your future travel plans, we can book over a year in advance, however, your international flights will need to be booked at a separate time, as those schedules are only released 11 months in advance. That being said, we are also able to book last minute travel, pending flight and lodge availability, and have done so on many occasions.

There’s a myriad of ways to approach travel in Africa, and understanding your preferences helps shape your budget to create the trip of your dreams. Our team at Ubuntu Travel is eager to help you plan your African adventures while accounting for your budget. Like most travel experiences, an incredible African safari can be achieved at many different price points; it just depends on the type of experience you are seeking. Due to our high-end commitments and services, our bespoke and luxury safaris typically start at $10K per person. Co-founder, Leah Green, has put together a basic list to consider when working on your travel budget:

• How long do you want to travel for?
• When do you want to travel?
• Where do you want to visit?
• What does your dream accommodation look like?
• What type of experience are you looking for?

It all starts with a conversation as we work with you to customize your ideal trip, start to finish. Reach out to our experienced travel designers today and we’ll help make your bucket list vacation a reality. We are available to assist in person (if geographically possible), over the phone, or through Zoom calls. If you’d prefer to correspond via email, we’re happy to do so as well!
