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!

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!

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.

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

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
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!

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.

Professional and excellent service combined with personal touches to make the perfect trip!
We had a wonderful three days in Murchison Falls national park with Steady Safaris. From initial contact and planning with Carlos to our time with our guide Noel the whole experience was to class. Carlos was very happy to work within our budget and to help us make the most of our short time and always responded to emails promptly and in a professional but friendly manner. And from the moment we were met at the airport by Noel, through the drive up to the National Park, through driving around, through conversations over dinner (excellent food in Fort Murchison!) and through bring dropped off at the end, we were looked after really well. Noel was so knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions and point things out, and also just good and interesting company! Sadly we didn't see lions or a leopard - but this wasn't Noel's fault! And it gives us a good excuse to return! And if and when we do we'll definitely be using Steady Safaris - I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic!
The safari was amazing! We had a great time! Our tour guide was Carlos, and he was very personable and professional. He made sure we were drinking enough water, wore plenty of sunscreen, and had insect repellent. We saw every single animal on our list, even the super rare ones. 100% satisfied!

Amazing Experience!
I went on a safari with Steady Safaris a few weeks ago and it was an absolutley unforgettable experience! The whole process was easy and we were given exceptional care throughout our entire trip. Our guide Carlos was phenomenal! He was incredibly knowledgeable and so fun to be around. We had such a fun time and learned so much. Carlos took care of everything for us, we didn't have to worry about a thing! He really tried to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see while we were there as well as giving us so much information on the animals, plants, and surroundings. I would say it's a once in a lifetime experience, but after doing it once you will want to go back again and again. The experience is truly indescribable. I would definitely book with Steady Safaris over and over again!
