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!

Yaneta Safaris is a reliable tour operator in Africa & has good customer service.
I booked a 21-day Uganda Safari with Yaneta before Covid. Since everything stopped due to Covid lockdowns, my trip was moved to July 2021. Uganda was still on lockdown but tourism was open. Yaneta had all the Gorilla & Chimpanzee trekking permits ready. Two weeks prior to my departure, Uganda required a visa prior to departure instead of visa on arrival. I had to hurriedly apply for a visa from the Uganda Embassy. Yaneta closely followed my application. My visa was approved day before my departure.
I had a wonderful time. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable. This was a private safari. We started in the north & worked our way down to the south. One time our vehicle had a mechanical problem. A replacement came at night so the trip went smoothly.
Yaneta is very reliable & has good customer service. They made sure that I was happy & comfortable.

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.

Good and open Communication with Dependable Delivery.
Our trip was planned for 4 people and 7 days for 2020. Deposit had been made and then Covid happened. When we finally felt confident to try again, we were only two and all travel costs had increased. Yaneta worked with us to make our dream come true and have the most incredible experience. Yaneta was patient with all my questions and we did a 5 day excursion with Chimps and Gorillas. The week before we left we added a day tour of Kampala. We had a great guide, Nathan for our adventure, he was very open and knowledgeable on all aspects of the Country and stoked our enthusiasm with his abundant information of the animals, birds and flora. Nathan also was conscientious about our safety with animals and property.
Uganda has so much to see, I wish we had been able to stay longer. Fitting it all in within 5 days does mean covering a lot of area at a fast pace. We were a little stressed dealing directly with a Company in Uganda and not a local travel agent (we are Canadian, its a long way), but it was well worth it in the end. Glad we chose Yaneta.

Exceeded our expectations
Excellent company to use for organising your family safari to Uganda,i organized a trip to Uganda with my parents and it really exceeded our expectations cause my parents were extremely happy big thanks to Yaneta safaris
First class service and the company is very reliable and trustworthy which is critical when you're spending a significant sum of money with a local business who you've no previous experience with.
Bracius who is the tour consultant provided a very personalised and prompt service and can tailor an itinerary to meet your family requirements and budget.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 7-day safari, including gorilla and chimp trekking. It ran very smoothly and Bracius suggested some great lodges, which he personally inspects on a regular basis to ensure high standards.
Sam our guide/driver was professional and knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble. We felt comfortable and safe at all times.
Uganda is an amazing country to visit and I can highly recommend Yaneta safaris to provide you with the perfect safari.
