Incredible
The driver Mr. Godwin was like family to me. He was so friendly and I liked his enthusiasm.
With his way of conduct, he loved his job and acted so professional in his first class vehicle. I couldn't ask for another company other than Yala Safari for my trip to Kampala. I really wanna do this again.
One more thing I shouldn't forget. Thanks for being so punctual!!
Please keep this up.

Yet another great experience with Yala Safaris
We have used Yala Safaris a number of times for our travels in Uganda, and have never been disappointed. Whether you want a standard safari in Murchison or a customized trip to the Mgahinga volcanos, Yala Safaris can organise it all without any fuss and at a great price. Communication is quick and easy and the quality of vehicles, accommodation, etc... is always great, regardless of our budget. All in all, we have no complaints and would highly recommend them!

Best safari ever with yala safaris.They gave us more than we expected,more than we deserved.
That last night at home.You think about how your safari is gonna be like.There are some experiences that are unforgettable.We wanted that safari at the highest ..When we started planning our trip,we looked and asked many places but we chose Yala safaris because of the positive and competent answers we got.Despite our budget,the owner/our guide Godwin still managed to fix us comfort full board accommodation in all the places we travelled.Because of his flexability,connection and good character with people everything was nice and easy.He is so friendly towards clients and always willing to help in any way he can.Our trip to murchison falls and Queen elizabeth will forever be the trip of our life time.If we ever have to tell our story,we will say we once travelled with Yala safaris the best,we lived in the time of Godwin the expert!!

The most informative, flexible and fun-packed safari ever - top marks to Godwin and Yala Safaris!
We planned a trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Bunyonyi, over the course of 6 days. We chose exactly how long we spent in each place and were ensured of the lowest price around (Yala Safaris will beat any quote you receive!). Our driver Godwin was with us the whole time, and was always enthusiastic, friendly and making sure we were having the kind of trip we expected. He made many recommendations throughout our stay and our trip ended up being quite different in terms of activities than we'd originally planned, due to the fact that we found better alternatives and Godwin was always able to arrange these last minute changes of plan. I really couldn't recommend highly enough!!

A fantastic trip to Sippi Falls
We had the pleasure of using Yala Safaris in August on a fantastic trip to Sippi Falls. Our head tour guide, Godwin, was great at explaining the abundant wildlife and varying landscapes. We will never forget our trip.
Thanks

The most accommodating tour and safari company in Uganda!
Between 2015 and 2016 I have been on around 8 trips with Yala Safaris. Yala staff have made every effort in order to find us the best prices in the best locations. All of the staff are kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. We have visited many of the popular (and less popular) destinations in Uganda and the Yala team have never failed to make these trips wonderful. Yala can cater to all budgets and trips and have great connections with good people all over the country. Whatever it is you need, Yala can cater for you in a professional and kind manner.
Thanks so much to everyone at Yala for making our trips so special!

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.

An Unforgettable Adventure
I want to send my deepest regards to the legend himself, Godwin. He took my friends and I on a journey of a lifetime to the Southwest corner of Uganda. His driving is phenomenal and he constantly took us to some of the best spots for local fruits and brews. He found us a hidden gem on the cliffs of a mountain overlooking Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area and guided us through the park. He even knew of a secret spot where the leopards live. From there he took us to the fantastic Lake Bunyonyi, a pristine, high-elevation lake that is free of hippos and alligators because it is too cold for them (but perfect for me coming from Michigan). I plan on going on 1 or 2 more trips with Yala during my time here in Uganda. Lots of love to Godwin.
