Couldn't have asked for anything better!
Some friends and I went on a safari the beginning of this year and it couldn't have been better! From start to finish we were taken care of completely. The safari itself is magic. Pictures and words don't do it justice. If you are thinking about booking a safari I would go with Steady Safaris without any hesitation.
Extremely professional service, tailored precisely to our requirements - great holiday!
I was very impressed by Steady Safaris - we made a last minute booking, the company responded quickly and efficiently to our requests, kept within our budget, and delivered us safely and on time to the airport at the end of the holiday. Steve was a great guide, he liaised with the lodge and the national parks team at Lake Mburu to make sure that we got the most out of our stay, his driving was excellent (no matter what the terrain), and he ensured that we had a smooth and enjoyable trip. Thank-you!

Africa Safari Review: Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nairobi, Gorilla Experience
I have been dreaming of going to Africa for over ten years and this year that dream finally came true. Our travel company was wonderful (Steady Safaris Uganda Limited) - particularly our agent who helped us every step of the way (Carlos Olaaka). I gave him some vague ideas and s
he came up with a wonderful itinerary and recommendations on where to stay. We went through several iterations and our agent was always helpful and very responsive. If I contacted him during business hours I never waited more than an hour or two for a response and many were much faster. Every partner they worked with in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya was very professional, on time, and provided excellent service. Honestly, after having visited I would imagine that you can't go wrong - everyone we met had nothing but positive things to say about everywhere they had been. If you're on the fence or worried, don't be!! Everything was taken care of every step of the way and I felt 100% safe and cared for the entire time.
What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of our trip?
We were fortunate enough to see FOUR leopard on our trip - a mother with two cubs and another with a kill in a tree. We saw a pride of lions feeding on a zebra that must have been killed during the night. We didn't see the actual hunt but we saw one of the splinter groups that split off and even that was pretty incredible - zebras and wildebeest everywhere in Kenya. The absolute craziest thing we saw was a group of crocodiles eat a hyena. It was the most awesome and horrific thing I've ever seen!
And the highlight was the gorilla trekking

To summarise briefly, the two lodge exceeded our expectations for different reasons. Paraa Lodge is in a lovely location, beautifully organised, has excellent food, delightful staff and every comfort thoughtfully taken care of. Mweya Safari Lodge location was stunning and the way the lodge integrated with it’s environment was perfect. Neither lodge disappointed us in any way although the food at Mweya was not as good ( but the dinner setting in the out-doors was fun!) but we felt very relaxed and at peace there. Our guides in both places were charming and very knowledgeable.
We were amazed by all the wildlife and saw everything we hoped to see except for a leopard which eluded us despite a long search in Queen Elizabeth national park! Our photos and memories are brilliant!
Primate lodge was extremely comfortable, the food was great and it was a beautiful place to relax in the middle of the forest. We did the chimpanzee forest walk, swamp walk and went on the Crater lake Tour but sadly didn’t have time for a visit to the village community.
We absolutely loved Bwindi forest and are already planning a repeat of the gorilla trekking experience, although we might consider investigating Rwanda next time, just for a change.
Please give my thanks to Carlos for his help and guidance in planning and booking this wonderful holiday. Steve for his outstanding guide service, knowledge and personality.
Regards
S Cole

Wonderfully done by Stead Safaris Uganda
I can't thank Steady Safaris Uganda enough for a job well done for me and my friends. We really had a smashing time out in Uganda thanks to Steve a professional at his job. I recommend Steady Safaris Uganda to anyone and everyone hoping to visit Uganda.

Great safari by a great company run by great people.
In honest I never expected value for money when I considered travelling to Africa for a safari. But I was humbled with the first email response from Steady Safaris by Carlos. He and his entire team orangized a 12 day safari which left us completely satisfied with their detailed service, knowledge, honest, integrity and professionalism. We highly recommend this company to everyone and we will send my parents to you soon. Life friend!

A very well organised trip and knowledgable guide!
We went on an overnight safari in July which included 2 game drives and a boat trip. The whole trip was very well organised and Carlos was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide!

Ababa trip to Murchinson Falls
A group of us did an overnight safari to Murchison Falls National Park in July. Carlos went out of his way to ensure that the trip was a total success from start to finish. He was very professional and even organised an additional trip on the evening of our arrival. I would definitely use this company again.

Professional, timely, knowledgeable, and relaxing! Great experience
We worked with Carlos. We had no idea how to start planning a safari excursion and from the beginning, he offered suggestions, gave us vacation package details, obtained reasonable rates and excellent accomodations! He created a the most beautiful African experience for us. He was fast to respond to emails. Details were organized precisely and nothing was missed. The drivers were outstanding and all had excellent knowledge of the wildlife and area/excursions. We had a group of 17 individuals, and Carlos handled every detail with expertise. Highly recommend the services. I know we will be calling them again every time we are in Uganda.
