Ubuntu Travel Group – Luxury Safari Specialists and 2025 Top 100 Winner

 

Ubuntu Travel Group, a family-run safari agency founded in 2018 by Kyle and Leah Green, has earned global acclaim, most recently being named among Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ Top 100 Travel Agencies & Tour Operators of the World 2025. Based in Newport Beach, California, with a strategic presence in South Africa, Ubuntu Travel tailors fully bespoke safari experiences across East and Southern Africa—and now Antarctica—merging personal storytelling, luxury, conservation, and culture.

Expertly Tailored Journeys

Ubuntu Travel’s signature is its deeply personal approach. Every trip begins with a conversation—via Zoom, phone, coffee, or email—designed to explore clients’ dreams and travel philosophy. Their team then develops a bespoke itinerary, grounded in intimate knowledge of each destination and regular check-ins.

  • No outsourcing: clients work directly with in-house experts and often with Kyle or Leah themselves.
  • Full logistical support: including flights, transfers, packing advice, and pre-travel guides.
  • Round-the-clock backup from both the U.S. and South Africa ensures peace of mind.

Wide-Ranging, Iconic Destinations

Ubuntu Travel’s reach spans Southern and Eastern Africa—Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Malawi, South Africa—and extends to the Indian Ocean Islands. Their recent expansion into luxury Antarctica safaris adds another bucket-list destination.

Luxury Meets Conservation & Community

Ubuntu Travel marries high-end travel with purpose. They collaborate with elite hospitality brands like Singita, Wilderness, andBeyond and African Bush Camps, while partnerships with White Desert open up Antarctica excursions. Conservation and community projects include work with the African Wildlife Foundation, With My Own Two Hands, and Love One International, and through Ocean Co., their clients’ bookings have helped remove over 922,890 plastic bottles from the environment.

Innovative Experiences

Ubuntu Travel’s conservation-first strategy begins pre-trip through their partnership with Ocean Co. Clients contribute to ocean cleanup even before departing, a meaningful gesture that cements travel as impact.

They also offer unique wildlife engagement: rhino conservation experiences, tagging and dehorning with expert handlers, and immersive excursions like gorilla trekking, Big Five safaris, Great Migration tours, and family adventures designed to engage all ages.

Exceptional Client Feedback

Ubuntu Travel consistently earns high praise:

  • Google Reviews and TrustIndex rave reviews from honeymooners, families, and multi-week travelers emphasize attentive personalization and operational excellence.
  • One honeymooner writes: “Kyle, Leah, Jenna and team were there EVERY step… curated a beautiful, romantic trip.”

Strong Brand & Digital Strategy

Their website, developed in partnership with Gravitate Design, reflects Ubuntu Travel’s luxury ethos and narrative-driven storytelling. The facelift delivered a 94% increase in conversions and a 24% drop in acquisition cost, signaling robust market positioning.

Industry Recognition

Kyle and Leah have been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as Top Travel Specialists for five consecutive years, proving their status among elite safari curators.

Why Ubuntu Travel Travel Stands Out

  • Personal Touch: Direct collaboration with founders and local experts for truly bespoke itineraries.
  • Deep Local Knowledge: Built-in teams in Africa ensure insider access to lodges, guides, and logistical excellence.
  • Local Community Upliftment: Every itinerary supports conservation, ocean cleanup, and community upliftment.
  • Innovative Offerings: Rhino tagging, Antarctica expeditions, gorilla trekking—created for transformative experiences.
  • Effortless Service: 24/7 support, meticulous planning, and luxury logistics deliver an effortless journey.

Conclusion

Ubuntu Travel Group masterfully weaves luxury, intimate storytelling, conservation, and cultural immersion into every safari. Their awards, stellar client feedback, and digital growth all reflect a brand that manifests life-changing journeys. As one of LLA’s 2025 Top 100 Travel Agency, Ubuntu Travel elevates the meaning of luxury travel.
