Reviews
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.

3 day safari Murchison Falls National Park and Rhino Sanctuary
Prompt and courteous communication from Christopher in the office, and no change to price or schedule despite the fact I was the only one travelling. My driver/guide Stanley was fantastic- he is a great driver, I felt safe at all times, and he went out of his way to make sure I had the best experience. He was really knowledgeable about the country, culture, animal and birdlife and we had a great time. The accommodation and meals were all excellent and I would recommend this safari company to anyone. The wildlife far exceeded my expectations!

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.

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.

I took a short-noticed tour through Uganda and Yala took care of all my wishes!
I took a short-noticed tour through Uganda and Yala took care of my wishes and I could do everything I wanted - with a personal touch as I was the only passenger. ;)
One accommodation was not available as planned, but Yala made up for this with a stunning lodge the next night.

A REAL NICE ADVENTURE
A really sympathetic and available team : always ready doing their best to make your trip an unforgettable adventure. Ambrose, our guide, is as good a driver as he is an excellent promoter of his country’s beauty: he knows wildlife, is a bird specialist and speaks passionately about Uganda’s customs.
We didn't book one visit, no problem, our guide arranged the issue to do it, and everything was really a nice memory.
If we return to Ouganda, sure we'll visit with them.

Great quality and a fun and beautiful trip
Together with a friend, I booked a three day safari to Queen Elizabeth NP. Contact beforehand was very easy and quick, both via whatsapp and e-mail.
On the expected time of arrival we were picked up from our hostel in Kampala. This is were we met Stanley, our driver and guide for the entire tour. We have had an amazing time, thank you Stanley! The safari was beautiful and our stay at Pumba Safari cottage was excellent. I can recommend Yala safari's to everyone.

Yala Safari is a very good agent, they supported our group during all the trip, I trust them a lot.
We took 12 days trip with Yala Safari, our driver Moses and our contact Christofer were very good, we had a great experince in Uganda that was up to our expectation, in the next future for another adventure in Africa we surely contact them again !
Uganda adventure once in a life time adventure
Communications was excellent our guide Stanley was to us like and old friend we knew forever, friendly, clear, open to our needs and requests but making sure we dis not miss any of the wonders Uganda had to offer. The trip was well above our expectations, the lodges meet all expectations, the food was amazing. And the game drives were full of surprises, we saw the big five, but better than that was our Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking which totally met our expectations
