Experienced driver,a guide who knows his turf and genuinely cares about"Conserve 4 generations"moto
They genuinely did care about our wellbeing,safety,and general experience. They made sure we got to see all the Big5 and see all that there is to see at the QE National park! We were even telling other tourists,how we saw this or that,and they hadnt,yet we had spent the same amount of days!!! They were courteous,respectful,especially to me,as a woman,very friendly,helpful,knowledgeable and know their trade!!
I'd def recommend Yala,again and again!

Great safari experience
I took two safari tours with Yala (Murchison and Queen Elizabeth). One in May with friends and one in July with my partner. Both times Godwin, our guide, was very friendly and helpful. He organised everything from our meals (some of my friends had allergy issues or were vegetarians) to visits to the local communities. He also would adjust the plans as we asked him, without any further charges. Moreover, he would do whatever it took for us to see the best animals, from talking to other guides he knew to trying to find traces of hunting so we would be able to see our favorite animals. In the end, we managed to see elephants, hippos, giraffes, pumba, hyenas and even zebras from a distance. I had a great time and I hope I will be able to go back to Uganda soon.

Best Safari company in Uganda
My partner and i did two safaris with Yaka safaris. First one in Queen Elizabeth National park 3 days with chimpanzee tracking, was abosulety fantastic. The guide, Abbas, was the best guide you could ask for, he knew absolutely everything, as soon as we enter the car he was explaining us about all the history, nature and culture of Uganda. He took an excellent care of us, always proving us with fruits and water. Everything was inclussive in the price so that make it easier for us. We stayed at Parkviews Safari where the owner upgraded us to a better cottage. The place was abosuletly stuning, you can even see elephants from their pool. The safaris were great as the cruise and also the chimpanzees trekking.
We then decided to do as well the murchisson falls safari with them. We share the trip with a nice austrian couple and our tour guide was Godwin, who is also the owner of the company. With him we did fantastics game drives, we spot lot of different animals and he was really making sure we will see everything, we even make some night drives which was an incredible experience (not a lot of companies offer this). As on the previous one, everything was included and we had fresh fruit all the way as well as water. We could sit on the roof of the 4x4 which was extremelly cool.
We decide to book our safaris with Yala because they offer a very good price, and the experience was much better that we could have ever imagine. 100% recommendable safari tours.
Murchison Falls Safari
This was a magical experience. One of the best trips in my life. The views were breathtaking, I was struck everyday by the raw beauty of the landscape and the animals. The experience was made even better by how friendly and knowledgeable the guide Christopher and Driver Emma were. Someday, I hope to bring my parents on this Safari. Experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended.

Nice time and fun experience with Yala Safaris Uganda
We went to Kampala & Jinja tour with Yala Safaris Uganda. The tour was nice, but maybe there was not so much arranged activities in Jinja. Last part of the tour in Kampala was interesting and full of things to see. Our driver Stanley was very helpful and sweet. :)

Amazing experience
I chose the "4 Days Experience of Murchison Falls" and everything was just perfect! As a woman travelling alone and unfamiliar with the country I was concerned about safety, but I felt safe all the time. Reagan (commercial) and Stanley (guide) were very welcoming and ready to answer any question, they made sure all meals included were vegetarian, as requested. The car was quite large (seats 7 people + driver), clean and very comfortable, with a roof that opens so you can check the animals more easily. Pillows and bottles of water were also available.
My experience with Yala Safaris was very good and I would definitely recommend their services. Their price was one of the best in the market and the service was of high quality.
As for Murchison Falls, this is an amazing place where you can spot up close several animals. I saw giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, many birds, elephants and even a lioness with babies.

Complete, with great attention to detail to ensure an amazing experience.
Yala Safaris Uganda is a young but super organisation. The staff is wonderful, attentive and great with communication. The trip planning was super, although a few really long hard drives (it is a big country), we had a super time and did SO much during our 10 day road trip. We saw Gorillas (a MUST DO experience), saw amazing game in the Safari parks, saw the wondrous Murchison, had adventurous boat trips, and did a walking safari at a Rhino sanctuary. Uganda is in much need of better global exposure and marketing as it is such a unique and beautiful place to visit. We all highly recommend Uganda as a destination and would certainly recommend Yala Safaris. The trip was planned with stays at great lodges, delicious food, super service. Our driver, Moses, was amazing. We felt very much taken care of in his care and we had the most interesting discussions with him and learnt so much from him.
