Good and open Communication with Dependable Delivery.
Our trip was planned for 4 people and 7 days for 2020. Deposit had been made and then Covid happened. When we finally felt confident to try again, we were only two and all travel costs had increased. Yaneta worked with us to make our dream come true and have the most incredible experience. Yaneta was patient with all my questions and we did a 5 day excursion with Chimps and Gorillas. The week before we left we added a day tour of Kampala. We had a great guide, Nathan for our adventure, he was very open and knowledgeable on all aspects of the Country and stoked our enthusiasm with his abundant information of the animals, birds and flora. Nathan also was conscientious about our safety with animals and property.
Uganda has so much to see, I wish we had been able to stay longer. Fitting it all in within 5 days does mean covering a lot of area at a fast pace. We were a little stressed dealing directly with a Company in Uganda and not a local travel agent (we are Canadian, its a long way), but it was well worth it in the end. Glad we chose Yaneta.

Exceeded our expectations
Excellent company to use for organising your family safari to Uganda,i organized a trip to Uganda with my parents and it really exceeded our expectations cause my parents were extremely happy big thanks to Yaneta safaris
First class service and the company is very reliable and trustworthy which is critical when you're spending a significant sum of money with a local business who you've no previous experience with.
Bracius who is the tour consultant provided a very personalised and prompt service and can tailor an itinerary to meet your family requirements and budget.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 7-day safari, including gorilla and chimp trekking. It ran very smoothly and Bracius suggested some great lodges, which he personally inspects on a regular basis to ensure high standards.
Sam our guide/driver was professional and knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble. We felt comfortable and safe at all times.
Uganda is an amazing country to visit and I can highly recommend Yaneta safaris to provide you with the perfect safari.

Best travel agency super professional with excellent guide
We were a group of 5 ladies, and we were a bit hesitant to book a safari with a foreign company, however booking with Yaneta safaris was a great decision.
They responded quickly, even during the night. They answered all of our questions tirelessly, explained everything, helped plan and provided the itinerary in advance.
The adventure itself was perfect and every single thing we aimed to experience was delivered. Yaneta safaris took a great care of us and our guide samuel was one of the best guides ever worked with. He was extremely helpful, curteous, knowledgeable, kind and made our wishes come true.
This adventure is definitely worth your time and money, Yaneta safaris is a proper company that is client-oriented and the tour guide was on the top of the game.we highly recommend anyone wishing to visit Uganda to contact them

Uganda/Tanzania safari
Our safari in Uganda was a great experience thanks to our guide Nathan. He was very knowledgeable and considerate. We learned a lot from him while on our drives and even were able to try some of the local food. The cabins we stayed in were closer to being budget lodging I would say but it was nice meeting other tourists and backpackers. The gorilla trekking was an incredible experience.
We didn't get to experience much of the culture in Tanzania on the second leg of the trip given we were mainly in the national parks every day. I would recommend adding a couple days that include hiking or trekking because spending 4-5 days mainly sitting inside a car is way too much.
At the end of the trip we were taken to a large outdoor/indoor souvenir market that was literally 3x the cost of all subsequent souvenir shops we visited. Make sure not to waste your time in there.
The best part of the Tanzania trip was tracking the wildebeest migration and seeing the ngorongoro crater. Don't miss those.
Came as a guest, left as a friend
We booked ( a team of 13 people from Italy ) a 21 days Uganda Safari with Yaneta on 2020 but due to the Covid everything stopped and our trip was moved to August 2022.
Despite the pandemic we kept in touch with Bracius, and from March 2022 we set the fine tuning of our tour: we discussed via w.app of logistics, itineraries, transportation, adapter, visas... he was always very responsive and patient.
He is a open and friendly person, his skill and professionality were the ace helped us to reschedule safari 4 times: all in all, we had few pricing change and accomodations scheduled too.
The Yaneta qualified crew, our drivers and guides, have been far more beyond our expectations: Eddy, Nathan and Jimmy went out of their ways to make them sure we had the best experience, always with no hesitation.
Every day, always taking care uf us, shown their enthusiasm, love and knowledge for country and wildlife.
They also drove extra miles to make our stay in Uganda even more enjoyable.
We explored all the most famous ugandian National Parks, stunning landscapes and a awesome wilderness feel.
At Queen Elizabeth N. P. we met 22 lions in a day, an unforgetable experience!
But one of the best moment in my life so far was in Bwindi Impenetrable N.P., home of Mountain Gorillas: being eyes to eyes with some of them was breathtaking and reminded me the Africa taken from the picture-book I read when I was child.
To sum it up, i strongly recommend using Yaneta Safari if you consider tour in Uganda, they can tailored every trip right on the guests requests, at a great value.
Once again, thanks a lot Yaneta Team!

Yaneta Safaris is a reliable tour operator in Africa & has good customer service.
I booked a 21-day Uganda Safari with Yaneta before Covid. Since everything stopped due to Covid lockdowns, my trip was moved to July 2021. Uganda was still on lockdown but tourism was open. Yaneta had all the Gorilla & Chimpanzee trekking permits ready. Two weeks prior to my departure, Uganda required a visa prior to departure instead of visa on arrival. I had to hurriedly apply for a visa from the Uganda Embassy. Yaneta closely followed my application. My visa was approved day before my departure.
I had a wonderful time. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable. This was a private safari. We started in the north & worked our way down to the south. One time our vehicle had a mechanical problem. A replacement came at night so the trip went smoothly.
Yaneta is very reliable & has good customer service. They made sure that I was happy & comfortable.
