Outstanding service and experience, high professionalism
From the initial online contact, they have provided a great and very professional experience. Moses and Eddie where our guides who have shown us their enthusiasm, love and knowledge for that amazing country and wildlife. Always taking care of us, showing the local culture, food and fun. The car condition and cleanliness was excellent.
We visited the Murchinsons falls and nature, the rhino sanctuary, Bunyonyi lake... etc.all the lodges were great and service was more that outstanding.
To sum it all up, I would recommend Yaneta Safaris 100% and especially Eddie and Moses to experience Uganda.

Got all l needed for my(our) vacation
My husband and I started had this trip one month ago. We were mainly interested in chimps and gorilla trekking in Uganda since we were also visiting Rwanda.we chose Yaneta safaris because its itineraries and price. I exchanged numerous emails with Bracius on almost all aspects of logistics,itineraries, accommodations, transportation, adapter, vaccines... He is very responsive and patient. Initially I was concerned about wiring the money directly to the company before the trip, but I ended up wiring the whole cost at once and it worked fine. Our guide picked us up at the airport and everything were worry free from then on. He was calm, patient and professional. He is quick on finding the animals and answered all our questions. We visited Kibale for Chimp trekking, the trials were relatively flat and trekking was relatively easy and quick. We had very close encounter with chimps. The community walk in Kibale was also very nice. We saw many monkeys, birds and plants. Learned the process of making coffee, banana juice and tonic. The gorilla trekking in Bwindi was also perfect. It did not rain but the trail was steep in some area and a bit slippery. We had all the gears (water-proof hiking shoes, gaiters and gloves) so it was not bad at all. It was humid and warm. I guess we picked the easy gorilla family. We had a very close look at a silverback and his family, even caught two making love. The guide cleared the view with a machete. The lodges we stayed were nice, clean and often with a great view. The food was also very nice.We would highly recommend Yaneta safaris to anyone wishes to experience such a unique activity.Great job to yaneta safaris team

Wonderful and safe safari trip
My family and I value safety before all things. william was one of the safest drivers we had ever encountered. He always drove carefully and paid extra attention to my mum who had a bad back. He also made sure the car was safe to drive at all times. Our car never broke down during our journey and it saved us a lot of time and trouble.
william was also highly knowledgeable about animals. He was always able to explain the interesting facts about the animals to us, which made our trip a lot more insightful. He was experienced in finding the animals and we were able to see a great deal and meet our expectations.
We also appreciate yaneta safaris’ politeness and kindness (brought my camera and the bag which I forgot in the car to our hotel the day after we said goodbye and even gave us a lift to the town centre to run some errands). We really enjoyed our safari trip from yaneta safaris and we won’t hesitate to recommend our guide and his company to anyone who intends to go on a safe and enjoyable safari trip to Uganda.

An amazing bbnplace to Visit
We just got back from a safari in Uganda a family with 3 children aged 9,13 and 16 our guide was brilliant in all aspects we could have asked. To begin with,he was very knowledgable. He was nice,kind and knew how to approach all of us, and each of us, including kids. Thanks to him, and his experience, we had the chance to see not only the animals, but also some rare scenes such as hunting. All the administration went perfect, the car, the lodges and the food. Thank you Yaneta Safaris and the wonderful Team we hope to get back to Uganda and to you soon

Great experiences
My family and I had a fantastic safari experience in Uganda with Yaneta Safaris . Our guide William was exceptional with an uncanny ability to spot all kinds of exotic wildlife not easily discernible to the untrained eye. He was a truly knowledgeable and patient guide who adjusted our schedule to suite our needs and maximize our experience in Queen Elizabeth National Park And we had a chance to trek the gorillas which was so amazing experience full of fun to my family I had traveled with in the beatiful forest if Bwind impenetrable forest the murchision falls was a great one to and yes we did see the big 5 on our game drive in the parks.The whole trip was a truly memorable experience from start to finish and Yaneta Safaris made it possible through their professional delivery of this product with no surprises. Thanks to the Yaneta Safaris team for making this such a wonderful trip and we highly recommend Yaneta Safaris to anyone planing to visit Uganda for a Safaris or vacation holidays.

Amazing Tour in Uganda.
We had an amazing time in Uganda, thanks in large part to Our guide’s knowledge of Uganda, his skill as a driver, and his calm and unfailingly positive approach to both life and touring. His advice and guidance were always spot on, and many of our most memorable moments were impromptu (market tours, stops for local food at roadside restaurants, etc.) . Uganda was truly a vacation of a lifetime, with some wonderful lodges, great game drives, exhilarating whitewater rafting, and gorilla and chimp trekking, and Our guide made the vacation stress free and fun.we can recommend more highly to anyone planning to tour Uganda!

Great Safari experience, very well organized
I had a really great time during my safari to the Queen Elizabeth National Park with Yaneta safaris. Prior to my arrival I was in contact by email with William at Yaneta safaris, who offered me a lot of options in terms of parks to visit, length of the visit, budget and accommodation.
Bracius was my guide, his a great guide, very kind and knowledgeable about Uganda's fauna (especially birds!), flora and History, and he takes safety very seriously especially when driving, which seems to be quite risky in some Ugandan roads. He was always looking after my needs and very keen to please me.
I went to the Queen Elizabeth National park where I spent some time on a game drive during which I got to see lots of animals (elephants, baboons, different types of antelopes, buffalos), That day the lions were far away from the park because it was mating season, but Bracius didn't rest until we found them and it was amazing to see them. I also enjoyed the boat trip over the Kazinga channel, where you can see literally hundreds of animals on the shore, and very close. Lots of hippos, elephants, buffalos, some crocodiles, kingfishers, Within the park, I stayed 2 nights at the Safari lodge. The views over the lake while having breakfast and dinner were amazing, the food was excellent and the staff very kind, On our way from the QENP, Bracius took me to the outside of the Lake Mburo NP where, without actually entering the park, we saw zebras and impalas, which you can't see in the QENP.
The chimpanzee and gorilla tracking in Kibale and Bwindi were truly unforgettable experiences and I loved tracking golden monkeys in Mgahinga. I'd definitely recommend hiring a porter for these treks. You don't necessarily need someone to carry your bag if you're fit and the hike isn't too long, but you'll provide someone with a day's work for only $15/20 and they can give you a helpful push or pull on the steeper bits, especially if it's been raining.
All in all, William and Bracius planned and delivered an amazing trip. It was a complete success and I thoroughly recommend using Yaneta Safaris. Huge thanks to them!

Great experience and memorable life time
Great experience with Yaneta Safaris The organisation is perfect, everything was clear and ok. They even take care of the safe transport from and to the airport. our guide and driver from Yaneta Safaris was always on time and gave a lot of information. He is a very open and friendly person and could provide us with a lot of interesting information about the culture of Uganda and the different animals during the Safari tour. We visited Murchinson Falls National Park,Bwindi impenetrable forest and we a great chance to have eyes with the gorillas .There one can really experience Africa as taken from the picture-book: stunning landscapes and a grand wilderness feel, where one instinctively senses that nature has not yet been tamed and wildlife reigns. The outstanding beauty of Murchinson Falls itself, where all the waters of the Nile cascade through a 8-meter wide gorge, is a spectacular sight to visit there. Also the lodges were very nice, good food and beautiful views. Would definitely recommend this agent to anyone planning their Ugandan safari. Yaneta Safaris really tried their best to make our trip a memorable one!

my adventurous and charming trip down to Uganda
Me and my husband planned our festive holidays down to Uganda last December, at the airport we were welcomed by the yaneta crew Bracius and William who were so glad to receive us. They expressed themselves in excellent English and tried to translate the native languages to us which made communication more fun.
They booked us into the best lodges and travelled, guided us with no hesitation or bias. According to the way they guided us you could tell that they loved what they were doing. Having the yaneta safaris staff with us made the trip a success and really enjoyable.
