Likana Safaris provide an excellent safari at a reasonable cost backed up by very supportive staff
Likana Safaris arranged and delivered an excellent safari. Michelle and Bonny responded quickly to all queries. The arrangements proved to be exactly as expected including the type of room requested in each lodge. Michelle met us on the first day at the hotel in Kampala while Bonny met us on our final day to obtain feedback and ideas from us.
The star of Likana was David our driver and guide. He contacted us to introduce himself by WhatsApp before we left the UK and was waiting for us at Entebbe airport. Throughout the 2 weeks with us David was extremely helpful and proved very knowledgeable about Uganda and its wildlife. He ensured we saw the “big 5” animals and, given my age and having two hip replacement operations in the previous four months, negotiated to ensure our trek to find the gorilla family was relatively short.
Spending an hour with the gorillas at very close quarters was the highlight of the safari and would have been the highlight of any safari in Africa.
Uganda is a very beautiful country and Likana arranged for us to see its people, wildlife and countryside at very reasonable cost.
A truly memorable safari and holiday.

The trip of a lifetime
In July, my wife and I went on a 12-day trip to Rwanda and Uganda, which was the best trip of our lives so far—and we’ve been to many places. Getting in touch with Likana Safaris was easy; Michelle and Bonny were flexible in handling our specific requests and continued to assist us with everything even after the booking was made, leading up to the trip. Upon our arrival, we met Henry Ssenteza at the Kigali airport, and we could tell right away that he would be a great guide and friend to us during our time there. And so the adventure began. Rwanda proved to be a great start, as the shorter distances made acclimatization easier, and the golden colobus monkey trek was a good warm-up before the bigger challenges. Uganda, however, proved to be a step up in terms of both the adventures and the activities. The gorilla and chimpanzee treks turned out to be truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and the rich and fascinating wildlife safaris revealed the grandeur and power of nature. In addition, our encounters with local communities were extremely interesting, giving us a glimpse into their lives. Likana booked fantastic accommodations for us, where we were able to encounter the animals up close, and Henry responded well to all of our individual requests. Over dinner, we had great conversations about Uganda, nature, and local points of interest. At the end of the trip, we even got to see the rhinos and visit the source of the Nile, so despite the eventful journey, we had no desire to go home—we’d just had the experience of a lifetime. Likana Safari played a huge part in this, and I highly recommend this company for exploring East Africa. We also can’t leave out our guide and friend, Henry Ssenteza, who went above and beyond to make the trip even more successful and handled all our problems immediately. We thank him as well for this trip.

Amazing tour operator for creating the most incredible itineraries!
Here’s a polished review you could post:
Our trip to Uganda and Rwanda was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel agency to make it happen. From the very beginning, Bonny was a pleasure to work with. He listened to what we wanted, created a thoughtful itinerary, and was always responsive and attentive throughout the planning process. Even while we were traveling, he checked in regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly and that we were enjoying our experience.
A special thank you to our guide, Andrew, who truly made the trip unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience every day. His passion for his country, wildlife, and culture made every excursion even more meaningful.
Every detail of the trip was seamlessly organized, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and warm hospitality of both Uganda and Rwanda. We highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a first-class African adventure. Thank you, Bonny and Andrew, for creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Fantastic adventure
I had an unforgettable trip with Likana Safari.
Just me and my guide Henry, we traveled 1,500 km across the country.
This gave me a glimpse into life in Uganda.
The parks are incredibly well-maintained.
The eco-lodges are magnificent, and the food is excellent.
And of course, seeing these animals in their natural habitat is magical.
By coming here, you contribute to preserving what remains of Uganda's wildlife.
Thank you, Likana, and thank you, Henry.

He was fun, relaxed, and would go outta his way to insure we had a good time
We started in Entebbe and made our way to bwindi, on the way our guide stopped at several places for pictures, to stretch our legs, then we made it to bwindi later in the night, the next day we went looking for the gorillas and let me tell you if you like to climb you’ll love it but depending on your physical condition it may be hard, but it’ll be worth it when you manage to reach the family you are with for the hour, after the gorillas we went to murchison falls national park for our safari game drive, we first stopped at the famous falls themselves and oh let me tell you it’s not something you want to miss, it is a beautiful and amazing view that pictures and videos alone don’t do justice for it, the following day we went to do a game drive and boat cruise, we seen all the big 5 animals of Africa except for the leopard but it was still a fun experience, for our morning drive our guide even managed to find the lions before anyone else seen them, and the boat drive where we seen many hippos, crocks, and more elephants, all together it was a amazing experience I highly suggest doing, the guides are kind and will make sure you enjoy your time with them
