Magnificent trip with Yala Safaris
We took a trip through Uganda for a week and everything went perfectly!
Upon arrival in Entebbe they received us very well and were constantly aware of the entire itinerary. We had only a few days but everything was organized so that, without rushing, we could enjoy each activity.
The guide, Kenneth, spoke very good Spanish, he gave us explanations throughout the trip, he bothered to make the experience fun, comfortable and very pleasant. We are very grateful to Kenneth, his involvement, kindness and effort in making sure everything turned out to our liking has made the experience much better than we expected.
If we were to do it again, we would undoubtedly request the same guide.
We are very happy with the trip and the treatment they gave us, it is a responsible and competent agency. A great trip that we recommend!

The adventure with Yala was fanatic
The safari with Yala was a definite highlight of my time in Uganda. The joy and memorability of this adventure is due in large part to the exceptional effort, savvy, and attentiveness of Yala. Our guide for this trip was Godwin, the founder of the company--we could not have asked for a more enjoyable companion. At every stage of the trip he went above and beyond to make sure that our group was happy and that the trip went smoothly. Godwin has close personal connections with everyone from lodge managers, to game wardens, to chimp conservation experts, to local chefs and it is this network that sets Yala apart. He negotiated unbeatable prices for our group at places that would normally have been vastly outside the budget of a few students working working for an NGO. Godwin kept us well fed with fresh fruit from his favorite vendors and took us on an extra unplanned game drive that allowed us to see the very elusive leopards of Queen Elizabeth. We had only four days, but in that time we fit in an incredible range of adventures, thanks entirely to the expert planning of Godwin. Finally, Godwin and the other Yala staff we met could not have been more friendly and enjoyable to be around. It is with great ease that I give the Safari with Yala five stars.

Excellent tour, beautiful visits, great company, comfortable, very well catered for and looked after
The tour of Entebbe, Kirimbika, Kabale and Bunyonyi was a great success. Excellent tour to beautiful areas of central and south-western Uganda. The company and the craic were great. The accommodation was comfortable, we were very well catered for and looked after. Even when one of the party was sick, no expense was spared in getting medical assistance and sorting things out. The arrangements throughout worked like clockwork and involved very little waiting. All objectives achieved.
A special feature of the safari was the return journey between Mbarara and Kampala when we needed an emergency driver. Fortunately another driver was found and proved to be an excellent replacement. Thank you Yala Safaris.
was not Impressed
Nothing to say much but it was very unfortunate experience

A very professional set of people
I was really impressed with the services my friend and I received from the Yala Safari team. Everything was perfectly planned. No hiding charges of any sort.
They went out of their way to quickly arrange a city tour we didn't plan for in a timely and flexible manner because my friend and I made a mistake in the booking date.
To be honest, this is my best trip in a very very long time.
Let it also be on record that I have started recommending them all to my colleagues and friends in case anyone is interested in a trip to Uganda.
