Tailor-Made Safari Vacations
Whether you’re marking a milestone birthday, celebrating lifelong friendships, or gathering loved ones for a shared adventure, Africa offers the perfect stage for connection.
At Ubuntu Travel, we specialize in creating tailor-made private group safaris built around exclusive-use lodges and luxury villas, where your group can unwind in complete privacy, enjoy personalized guiding, and experience Africa at your own pace.
Our team designs every element around your shared interests, from wildlife encounters and conservation experiences to wine tastings and coastal escapes. We care about the whole journey, ensuring your group experiences Africa’s wild beauty, seamless service, and warm hospitality from start to finish.
EXPERIENCES WORTH SHARING
Every group is unique – and that’s exactly how we approach each journey. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a reunion of friends, or a purpose-driven retreat, our private group safaris are crafted with the same care and personal touch that define every Ubuntu Travel experience.
MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS
Gather your closest friends for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration in Africa. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or reunion, our team handpicks lodges that balance luxury with authenticity, think private villas overlooking the savanna, personal chefs, and evenings around the fire under a canopy of stars.
EXCLUSIVE-USE LODGES & VILLAS
Experience Africa in total privacy. Stay in exclusive-use lodges or luxury safari villas that come with your own private guide, tracker, chef, and staff. These properties redefine luxury for small groups, perfect for those who value space, flexibility, and personalized service.
SAFARI WEDDINGS
Exchange vows surrounded by Africa’s raw beauty. From intimate ceremonies overlooking the Serengeti plains to elegant celebrations in Cape Winelands villas, we work closely with lodge teams to curate every detail – private chefs, florals, photographers, and seamless logistics. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering of loved ones, we’ll ensure your safari wedding feels timeless, personal, and beautifully wild.
CORPORATE & NGO RETREATS
Bring purpose to your next offsite. Ubuntu Travel has designed and hosted corporate and NGO retreats – including gatherings with partners like the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) – designed to inspire connection, creativity, and shared impact. Whether it’s a strategy retreat, leadership summit, or donor incentive trip, we’ll help your group reconnect with nature and each other in unforgettable settings.
WELLNESS & CREATIVE REUNIONS
Looking to reconnect, refresh, or inspire your group? Africa’s wilderness offers an extraordinary setting for wellness-focused escapes, creative residencies, or simply time to slow down together. Expect serenity, space, and soulful experiences designed for meaningful memories.
CONSERVATION EXPERIENCES
For groups looking to travel with purpose, Ubuntu Travel designs itineraries that support Africa’s most vital conservation projects. Join exclusive visits with researchers, community initiatives, or anti-poaching teams to see firsthand how your journey contributes to protecting wildlife and empowering local communities.

African Big Five Safari Bucket List Experiences
Big Game Walking Safaris
This walking safari is specially focused on enjoying a view of a member of the Big Five safely on foot – possibly without tracking. Depending on the reserve’s rules and regulations, animals can sometimes be in an area where vehicles are not allowed to drive on, or can’t access due to the terrain. This, however, provides a great opportunity to try and safely view these animals on foot with your highly experienced guide. *Note: age restriction of 16 and over.
Luxury Mobile Camps
If you like the rustic, outdoorsy feel of camping but enjoy the amenities, fine dining and service of a luxury hotel, glamping safaris offer the best of both worlds. For couples looking for an authentic African safari, luxury tented camps are the perfect option for incredible wildlife safaris and accommodations that take you straight to the backdrop of Out of Africa.
Luxury Lodges and Tented Camps
If you’re looking to indulge with your loved one, Africa’s luxury safari lodges are for you. With impeccable white glove service and fine dining, paired with opulent accommodations, amenities and out-of-this-world experiences, your time in Africa will be unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Nothing says ‘romance’ like an ultra-luxe adventure in Africa.

A great compliment to a Big Five safari in East Africa!
Testimonials
"Thank you Ubuntu Travel Team! We cannot thank you enough for the expert attention to detail throughout each phase of our adventure. From pre-planning, vaccination assistance, to accommodations and experiences once on the ground; our trip is one that exceeded all expectations. We would like to make special note of the incredibly kind and knowledgeable safari guides and resort staff that accompanied us throughout our stay. Every inquiry we had regarding landscape or animal species was thoroughly answered. These guides are all highly educated and the proficiency displayed by each and every guide while on safari added even more to the value and enjoyment of our holiday. We truly fell in love with the land and the people. Thank you for providing us with the trip of a lifetime."
"My husband, Marquise Goodwin, and I would like to thank Ubuntu Travel group for putting our Africa experience together. Kyle worked so hard to get our trip planned at the last minute. He’s very knowledgeable about Africa and he really focuses on quality. Ubuntu Travel even provided us with luggage for our trip because they knew of the luggage restrictions for certain parts of our trip. All of our accommodations were beautiful and unique in their own way. I think our favorite place would’ve had to been Rwanda where we went gorilla trekking. Followed by our game drives of course in KwaZulu-Natal. When we go back to Africa, we will definitely be using Ubuntu Travel again to create another unique Africa experience."
"Kyle and Leah at Ubuntu Travel curated my wife's and my Honeymoon. We put a lot of faith in their hands as we had no idea how to plan a Safari vacation. We gave them a budget, and they offered us a couple of different options that could work. Throughout the decision making process they were responsive, professional, and so helpful. We ended up on doing a week in and around Cape Town followed by Safari at Ngala in South Africa and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. It was perfect; the logistics of the trip were seamless. We wouldn't have changed a single thing. The Ubuntu team completely understood what we wanted for honeymoon and delivered. We have already recommended them to friends and family who are looking to try their first or second or third safari. Thanks Ubuntu!"
"We used Ubuntu Travel for our Honeymoon and could not have been more pleased. They took care of everything and made us not have to think about all the ins and outs of traveling all over South Africa, allowing us to enjoy our trip. The facilities at the safari lodges were phenomenal. Would and have recommended them to everyone!!"
