An Intimate Adventure

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Africa, but its heart beats powerfully. The people are young and lively, open to sharing their music, art, and culture with visitors passing through. Sadly, it is an African nation whose name is still tinged with tragedy. While recovering gracefully from the stigma of it’s past, Rwanda has quickly become known as a fabulous destination for wildlife and adventure. In fact, Rwanda is known as the Land of a Thousand Hills thanks to the boundless mountains in this scenically stunning little country. Nowhere are the mountains more magnificent than the Virunga volcanoes in the Northwest, and hidden among the bamboo forests are some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas.

Testimonials

  • "When making a once in a lifetime trip, it is best to not leave things to chance or just have an average experience. We were very pleased that the Ubuntu Travel team made our Africa trip an unforgettable experience for all of us. There was nothing average about it and every detail had been carefully planed while still being in a very relaxing environment. Adults and kids had a blast! The blend of outdoor experiences and luxury was just perfect. The meals,  guides and accommodations took the safari experience to another level. Thank You!”

    Francisco Morales (and Family)
  • “Both of our experiences [traveling with Ubuntu] were remarkable in so many ways. The lodges where we stayed, the culinary experiences, the people we met, and of course the wildlife were beyond our expectations and imagination. Their itineraries provide unique experiences and insights that you would not be able to experience on your own or through a traditional travel agency. We will cherish our memories and spectacular photos forever.”

    Bill Sanderson Golden State Foods, Corporate Executive Vice President
  • “Exploring Africa had been at the top of our bucket list. Thanks to Ubuntu’s unsurpassed knowledge and turnkey logistical expertise, we experienced Africa like we never imagined. We immersed ourselves in the stunning beauty during excursions, and retreated to the comfort of our luxurious lodges for feasting and fun amidst the magical sounds of the African nights. We will certainly return to Africa with Ubuntu in the future.”

    Denis & Gail Kalscheur Aviation Capital Group, CEO
  • "Our trip to South Africa was the most incredible trip that we've ever taken. We plan on returning again with our family. Thank you to the Ubuntu Team for putting together this wonderful event. There is no way we would haves seen what we did without the hard work and dedication to make this the best YPO couples retreat ever."

    Bob Olson R.D Olson Development, President
  • "My wife and I have had the privilege of traveling to many areas of the world. Without question, South Africa is one of our favorite destinations. We have been to South Africa three times and thoroughly enjoyed what was clearly an ""out-of-this-world"" experience. The attention to detail in offering us maximum exposure to the flora, fauna, people and history of this incredible part of the world was off the chart. The transportation, accommodations, food and fabulous South African wines were all first cabin. The Ubuntu Team and their ground support tended to every possible detail making this a very safe and pleasurable trip for all of us. I highly recommend traveling with the Ubuntu team on any future adventures to South Africa that they arrange."

    Peter Denniston Denniston Realty Group, President
  • "I am writing this letter to you to express Sheila and my gratitude for arranging, managing and executing two perfect trips to Africa. We have been constant travelers for many years and have experienced many tour operators and organizers. Your trips rate amongst the top! Both times we have traveled with you turned out to be extremely satisfying experiences. The last trip with our children and grandchildren was well planned and well executed. We got to see many animals, learn about the culture of the habitants and spend some good time together with friends and family. The ground arrangements were handled very professionally and the amount of planning was clearly evident throughout the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend Ubuntu travel group and the Green team for future travel in Africa."

    Ygal Sonenshine (and Family) Sonenshine Enterprises
  • “Of the many great trips we have taken, this one will clearly be remembered forever as the greatest, most interesting, and most fun. It was so special and we could not have had such an amazing experience without your help and guidance.”

    Randall Bone (and Family) Sunrise Company, CEO
  • "I visited Africa for a spectacular gathering of global entrepreneurs with my wife. As Global Chairman of the organization hosting the event, I was treated to some fantastic experiences. My wife and I decided we would one day visit again, with our children, knowing that we could never exceed the experience we had on that first trip. To our surprise, our family trip to Africa coordinated by Ubuntu Travel Group was even more special, exclusive, and exquisite than the first visit we made. Jill and I decided, on that trip, that we must go again, with our entire extended family, but only if the trip was planned by Ubuntu and the Green Family. If you are searching for a unique and surprising experience, travel to Africa with no one else."

    Matthew Stewart (and Family) National Services Group, Co-Founder/CEO
  • “Dear Kyle and the Ubuntu Travel Team, thank you for everything you did to ensure a great family experience in South Africa. Your attention to details, the first-class lodging and guides all made for a memorable family experience. It was a wonderful family trip as all three generations thoroughly enjoyed themselves and walked away with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for an incredible experience. "

    Al Baldwin & Family CEO/Chairman, Baldwin & Sons
  • "Without question our trips to Africa with the Green Family and Ubuntu Travel stand out as highlights in our family's memory of experiences. We enjoyed time with the Greens, and three other couples, in Cape Town and Kruger in 2010 via a well-orchestrated trip that exposed us to an experience beyond our expectations. We then traveled with them again to Zambia and Botswana in 2016, this time on a YPO family experience with over 100 people. During each trip, we were impressed by the exceptional accommodations, gracious hosts and staff, and the overall experience working with the Ubuntu Travel Team. Even while traveling with a large group, all transfers and events were seamless. We are so thankful for all of the memories we will cherish from our adventures in Africa."

    Steve Lockshin (and Family) Advice Period, Convergent Wealth Advisors, Principal, Founder and Former CEO
  • "Everyone in our family agrees that the South Africa trip we planned with Ubuntu Travel exceeded every expectation. The Greens expertly handled all travel arrangements and from the moment we landed in Johannesburg, to the moment we flew back home, every detail was taken care of. The lodges we were referred to were beautiful, the service was excellent, but it was the knowledgeable guides and incredible animal experiences that made our adventure unforgettable. We enjoyed our experience so much that we are relying on Ubuntu Travel and the Greens to plan another trip for us, this time to Tanzania to see the great migration. Can't wait!"
