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

10/10 Safari Adventure – Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Guide!
Our weekend safari trip to Murchison Falls was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, David. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, organized and flexible, making sure everything ran smoothly.
We were a group of 8 students, and he was extremely patient with us throughout the entire trip, always keeping a positive attitude and making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. He also made us feel very safe at all times, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed - great food, drinks and an overall fantastic experience. David was always open to our requests and adapted the trip to suit us, which made it feel very personal.
His eye for spotting wildlife was seriously impressive - especially when it came to finding lions! Thanks to him, we got to experience some truly special moments.
10/10, would highly recommend!

Flawless experience, from start to finish
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience, truly unforgettable from start to finish. Even though we booked quite last minute, everything was handled flawlessly, and the service was a solid 10/10.
A special thank you to David, who made the whole trip exceptional. He was not only an extremely knowledgeable guide but also genuinely kind and attentive. From the very beginning, he made sure we felt comfortable, and he went above and beyond to accommodate every single request we had.
What really stood out was how effortless everything felt for us. The tour operator took care of all the bookings and logistics so we didn’t have to worry about anything at all. Having all meals included was also a huge plus and made the experience even more relaxing.
In just three days, we managed to see almost all the animals in the park, which exceeded our expectations. We even asked for an extra game drive, and David still found a way to fit it into the schedule without making us feel rushed.
Overall, this safari was beyond what we had hoped for: seamless, exciting, and filled with amazing moments. We couldn’t recommend it more!💛

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Likana Safari during my trip to Uganda. From the very beginning, everything was organized professionally and with great attention to detail. The safari itself was unforgettable—stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife sightings, and a perfectly planned itinerary that made every moment special.
What truly made the trip exceptional, though, was the guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about his work. He shared fascinating insights about the animals, local culture, and environment, and he always made sure we were comfortable and safe. His enthusiasm was contagious and added so much depth to the whole experience.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided safari adventure. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Likana safaris listen to what you want and then provide an excellent itinerary
My sister and I have just returned from a wonderful 15 day holiday in Uganda traveling around the lakes and game parks. We were met at Entebe airport promptly by Bonny the managing director and David who was our driver/guide and they both gave us a very warm welcome.
The itinerary was planned thoughtfully and David was reliable and ensured that everything went smoothly. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. His expert knowledge enabled him to spot and explain about more animals and birds than we knew existed!!!!
The Rhino chimpanzee and gorilla treking were amazing as were the game drives.
All the different lodges we stayed in were clean and well appointed and the staff were friendly and helpful.
David gave us his mobile number and we could contact him at any time.
The whole holiday was amazing and great value for money.
We even saw the shoebill whilst canoeing in the swamp before heading to the airport to return home.
It was definitely good value for money. If I went again I would take small gifts for the children who waited by the roadside in the more remote areas and asked for sweets

Amazing 3-Day Safari to Murchison Falls with Likana Tours and guide Henry.
We had an unforgettable experience with Likana Tours on our 3-day, 2-night adventure to Murchison Falls. From the start, Bonnie and Michelle did a fantastic job organizing the itinerary, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we got the most out of our time in Uganda.
The highlight, of course, was Murchison Falls itself – breathtakingly powerful and beautiful. The safaris were equally amazing; we loved seeing all the animals in their natural habitat. Our guide, Henry, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, fun, and really made the safaris both exciting and informative.
The accommodation at Twiga Safari Lodge, right on the banks of the Nile, was superb. At night, as we returned from dinner, we were thrilled to see hippos right in front of our balcony – an experience we’ll never forget.
Another memorable part of the trip was the visit to the Rhino Sanctuary. Walking so close to these incredible animals was exhilarating and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Overall, Likana Tours delivered an exceptional journey filled with unforgettable moments. We highly recommend them to anyone planning to explore Uganda!
