Uganda adventure once in a life time adventure
Communications was excellent our guide Stanley was to us like and old friend we knew forever, friendly, clear, open to our needs and requests but making sure we dis not miss any of the wonders Uganda had to offer. The trip was well above our expectations, the lodges meet all expectations, the food was amazing. And the game drives were full of surprises, we saw the big five, but better than that was our Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking which totally met our expectations

Yala Safari is a very good agent, they supported our group during all the trip, I trust them a lot.
We took 12 days trip with Yala Safari, our driver Moses and our contact Christofer were very good, we had a great experince in Uganda that was up to our expectation, in the next future for another adventure in Africa we surely contact them again !

Great quality and a fun and beautiful trip
Together with a friend, I booked a three day safari to Queen Elizabeth NP. Contact beforehand was very easy and quick, both via whatsapp and e-mail.
On the expected time of arrival we were picked up from our hostel in Kampala. This is were we met Stanley, our driver and guide for the entire tour. We have had an amazing time, thank you Stanley! The safari was beautiful and our stay at Pumba Safari cottage was excellent. I can recommend Yala safari's to everyone.

A very professional set of people
I was really impressed with the services my friend and I received from the Yala Safari team. Everything was perfectly planned. No hiding charges of any sort.
They went out of their way to quickly arrange a city tour we didn't plan for in a timely and flexible manner because my friend and I made a mistake in the booking date.
To be honest, this is my best trip in a very very long time.
Let it also be on record that I have started recommending them all to my colleagues and friends in case anyone is interested in a trip to Uganda.

Excellent tour, beautiful visits, great company, comfortable, very well catered for and looked after
The tour of Entebbe, Kirimbika, Kabale and Bunyonyi was a great success. Excellent tour to beautiful areas of central and south-western Uganda. The company and the craic were great. The accommodation was comfortable, we were very well catered for and looked after. Even when one of the party was sick, no expense was spared in getting medical assistance and sorting things out. The arrangements throughout worked like clockwork and involved very little waiting. All objectives achieved.
A special feature of the safari was the return journey between Mbarara and Kampala when we needed an emergency driver. Fortunately another driver was found and proved to be an excellent replacement. Thank you Yala Safaris.

The adventure with Yala was fanatic
The safari with Yala was a definite highlight of my time in Uganda. The joy and memorability of this adventure is due in large part to the exceptional effort, savvy, and attentiveness of Yala. Our guide for this trip was Godwin, the founder of the company--we could not have asked for a more enjoyable companion. At every stage of the trip he went above and beyond to make sure that our group was happy and that the trip went smoothly. Godwin has close personal connections with everyone from lodge managers, to game wardens, to chimp conservation experts, to local chefs and it is this network that sets Yala apart. He negotiated unbeatable prices for our group at places that would normally have been vastly outside the budget of a few students working working for an NGO. Godwin kept us well fed with fresh fruit from his favorite vendors and took us on an extra unplanned game drive that allowed us to see the very elusive leopards of Queen Elizabeth. We had only four days, but in that time we fit in an incredible range of adventures, thanks entirely to the expert planning of Godwin. Finally, Godwin and the other Yala staff we met could not have been more friendly and enjoyable to be around. It is with great ease that I give the Safari with Yala five stars.
