Review of Likana Safari in Rwanda and Uganda with Guide Andrew
5/5

I recently returned from an unforgettable 10-day safari in Rwanda and Uganda, and I can confidently say that it was an experience of a lifetime! Our guide, Andrew, played a crucial role in making this trip absolutely perfect. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organised, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Itinerary Highlights:
Throughout our journey, we explored the breathtaking landscapes of both countries. We started in Rwanda, where we visited Volcanoes National Park and went on a trek to see monkeys. I liked how the trek prepared me for the gorilla trek.

Next, we ventured into Uganda, we had an incredible gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

Witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is something I will cherish forever. The guide, porters and trackers knowledge and passion for wildlife truly enhanced the experience.

We explored Queen Elizabeth National Park and each day was filled with exciting game drives, boat safaris, and memorable encounters with animals ranging from elephants, leopards, giraffes, and lions and their cubs to diverse bird species. Andrew knew all the best spots to maximise our sightings, and his keen eye ensured that we saw everything there was to see.

Service and Care:
The outfit along with Andrew’s attention to detail and genuine care for our comfort made all the difference. He was always punctual, ensuring that we never missed an opportunity. His patient and friendly demeanor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. It felt more like traveling with a knowledgeable friend than a guide.

We were provided with delicious meals and lovely accommodations during our travels.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, my 7-day safari with this company was a seamless blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. The diversity of wildlife and stunning scenery in Rwanda and Uganda are truly unparalleled, and having such an excellent guide made it all the more special. If you’re considering a safari in this region, I highly recommend seeking out this company . You won’t be disappointed! This trip has left me with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to both Bonny and Andrew, for an amazing adventure!

Price: Unbeatable!

The value for this safari was truly exceptional. Also, as Canadians, we're accustomed to tipping for excellent service, so we made sure to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to making our trip memorable, including the porters, trackers, and guides. Their dedication and expertise genuinely enhanced our experience.

Likana Safaris provided a trip of a lifetime!
5/5

From my first communications with the owner Bonny to every moment with our guide, now my friend, Andrew, this was an experience of a lifetime. Endless beauty everywhere. The people, the animals, the landscape, and to top it all off, the accommodations were something out of a movie! I kept thinking “how is this my life right now?!” The value for money is mind blowing. I never imagined the stunning accommodations I’d be in. I encourage anyone to reach out to Likana and start planning your dream trip. You won’t be disappointed.

Suggestions on tipping:
You meet so many amazing people along the way who share their knowledge, experience, and craftsmanship with you that you’ll want to bring a ton of small American bills to tip.

My trip was 10 days and I only bought $100 in small bills and needed to take out local currency to tip - outside of days where you’re trekking, I suggest having $20 per day in one and two dollar bills for tipping.

For days where you’re trekking, teams of 8-12 people are working to create an amazing experience for you - budget $20 for the guide, $20 for your porter and an additional $30 in small bills for other support team members.

While websites recommend $10 US/day for your safari guide, I recommend at least doubling that. Our guide spent New Year’s with us. After asking about his life and family we learned he was newly married. It turns out Andrew spent his 1st wedding anniversary with us all while having and a beautiful wife and six month old baby at home!

Other tips include:
- security (in the lodges a security person walks you to and from dinner at the lodge after dark to protect you from animals) - $2
- people who take your bags for you: $1
- housekeeping/laundry services: $2/day
- waiters/waitresses: $2-3 per meal
- community guides: $5 - $20
- traditional Knowledge Keepers:$2-$10
- Craftspeople (taught us how to weave!):$2
- Dancers: $2

Also, to shop, keep in mind, drinking water and electricity are not easily accessible to people and shopping in local shops has a big impact. I experienced the kindest people in local shops who actually gave me gifts after I made my purchases!

I can’t recommend this company enough. It was a trip of a lifetime with amazing new friends!

5/5

There aren't enough words to describe the wonderful and amazing experience we had with Likana Safaris. From the time we arrived until the end of our tours we were treated like family. The accommodations were excellent , very comfortable and of high quality. The food was delicious and we had the choice of eating local dishes which i highly recommend. The iternary was well planned taking into consideration our expectations. Every day of the iternary we had a beautiful day and felt very satisfied. Our driver Nathan did everything to make sure we were safe and comfortable. He provided us with relevant and good information about the wild life, birds and Uganda. We felt so happy spending time driving to our destinations and seeing interesting things along the way. While some roads were easy to drive on other roads , offered jokingly the African massage, which is part of the adventure and experience. We loved the entire journey and made the best of it. Nathan made sure we saw all the animals even though nature is unpredictable and animals can choose to remain in their habitats. Bonny our tour operator did an excellent job always coordinating with Nathan our driver to ensure we were having a great experience. I would definitely recommend Likana Safaris if you want a great and memorable experience. A big thank you for not only assisting us with the Gorilla trekking but allowing us to experience so much wild life, birds and exposing us to the Uganda culture , villages and providing us with exposure to communities that are working towards development and sustainable solutions to empower themselves and the country. Overall what an education and experience my 16 year old son had. Thank you ,thank you so much Bonny & Nathan !! You guys are the best!!

very organized, great communication, amazikg tour!
5/5

We did the 4-days Gorilla and Golden monley trek and we were happy from the beginning on.
Before the booking Bonny answered many questions and prepared us for the upcoming trip. Once we arrived we got picked up at the airport and brought to our hotel. Organization in overall was perfect. The lodges that Likana has choosen for us were also very good value for money. The trekking was the highlight of course, but the whole trip was a perfect mixture between excitement and relaxing.
Communication was very easy, spontanious adaption in the tour were always possible.
It was always fun to talk to our guides, we learned a lot about the countries, its culture and the wildlife.
To be honest, there wasn't anything that we weren't happy about.
Exciting Tour with exciting people, we enjoyed every minute, thank you!
