Wonderful and safe safari trip
My family and I value safety before all things. william was one of the safest drivers we had ever encountered. He always drove carefully and paid extra attention to my mum who had a bad back. He also made sure the car was safe to drive at all times. Our car never broke down during our journey and it saved us a lot of time and trouble.
william was also highly knowledgeable about animals. He was always able to explain the interesting facts about the animals to us, which made our trip a lot more insightful. He was experienced in finding the animals and we were able to see a great deal and meet our expectations.
We also appreciate yaneta safaris’ politeness and kindness (brought my camera and the bag which I forgot in the car to our hotel the day after we said goodbye and even gave us a lift to the town centre to run some errands). We really enjoyed our safari trip from yaneta safaris and we won’t hesitate to recommend our guide and his company to anyone who intends to go on a safe and enjoyable safari trip to Uganda.

An amazing bbnplace to Visit
We just got back from a safari in Uganda a family with 3 children aged 9,13 and 16 our guide was brilliant in all aspects we could have asked. To begin with,he was very knowledgable. He was nice,kind and knew how to approach all of us, and each of us, including kids. Thanks to him, and his experience, we had the chance to see not only the animals, but also some rare scenes such as hunting. All the administration went perfect, the car, the lodges and the food. Thank you Yaneta Safaris and the wonderful Team we hope to get back to Uganda and to you soon

Great experiences
My family and I had a fantastic safari experience in Uganda with Yaneta Safaris . Our guide William was exceptional with an uncanny ability to spot all kinds of exotic wildlife not easily discernible to the untrained eye. He was a truly knowledgeable and patient guide who adjusted our schedule to suite our needs and maximize our experience in Queen Elizabeth National Park And we had a chance to trek the gorillas which was so amazing experience full of fun to my family I had traveled with in the beatiful forest if Bwind impenetrable forest the murchision falls was a great one to and yes we did see the big 5 on our game drive in the parks.The whole trip was a truly memorable experience from start to finish and Yaneta Safaris made it possible through their professional delivery of this product with no surprises. Thanks to the Yaneta Safaris team for making this such a wonderful trip and we highly recommend Yaneta Safaris to anyone planing to visit Uganda for a Safaris or vacation holidays.

Amazing Tour in Uganda.
We had an amazing time in Uganda, thanks in large part to Our guide’s knowledge of Uganda, his skill as a driver, and his calm and unfailingly positive approach to both life and touring. His advice and guidance were always spot on, and many of our most memorable moments were impromptu (market tours, stops for local food at roadside restaurants, etc.) . Uganda was truly a vacation of a lifetime, with some wonderful lodges, great game drives, exhilarating whitewater rafting, and gorilla and chimp trekking, and Our guide made the vacation stress free and fun.we can recommend more highly to anyone planning to tour Uganda!

Great Safari experience, very well organized
I had a really great time during my safari to the Queen Elizabeth National Park with Yaneta safaris. Prior to my arrival I was in contact by email with William at Yaneta safaris, who offered me a lot of options in terms of parks to visit, length of the visit, budget and accommodation.
Bracius was my guide, his a great guide, very kind and knowledgeable about Uganda's fauna (especially birds!), flora and History, and he takes safety very seriously especially when driving, which seems to be quite risky in some Ugandan roads. He was always looking after my needs and very keen to please me.
I went to the Queen Elizabeth National park where I spent some time on a game drive during which I got to see lots of animals (elephants, baboons, different types of antelopes, buffalos), That day the lions were far away from the park because it was mating season, but Bracius didn't rest until we found them and it was amazing to see them. I also enjoyed the boat trip over the Kazinga channel, where you can see literally hundreds of animals on the shore, and very close. Lots of hippos, elephants, buffalos, some crocodiles, kingfishers, Within the park, I stayed 2 nights at the Safari lodge. The views over the lake while having breakfast and dinner were amazing, the food was excellent and the staff very kind, On our way from the QENP, Bracius took me to the outside of the Lake Mburo NP where, without actually entering the park, we saw zebras and impalas, which you can't see in the QENP.
The chimpanzee and gorilla tracking in Kibale and Bwindi were truly unforgettable experiences and I loved tracking golden monkeys in Mgahinga. I'd definitely recommend hiring a porter for these treks. You don't necessarily need someone to carry your bag if you're fit and the hike isn't too long, but you'll provide someone with a day's work for only $15/20 and they can give you a helpful push or pull on the steeper bits, especially if it's been raining.
All in all, William and Bracius planned and delivered an amazing trip. It was a complete success and I thoroughly recommend using Yaneta Safaris. Huge thanks to them!

Great experience and memorable life time
Great experience with Yaneta Safaris The organisation is perfect, everything was clear and ok. They even take care of the safe transport from and to the airport. our guide and driver from Yaneta Safaris was always on time and gave a lot of information. He is a very open and friendly person and could provide us with a lot of interesting information about the culture of Uganda and the different animals during the Safari tour. We visited Murchinson Falls National Park,Bwindi impenetrable forest and we a great chance to have eyes with the gorillas .There one can really experience Africa as taken from the picture-book: stunning landscapes and a grand wilderness feel, where one instinctively senses that nature has not yet been tamed and wildlife reigns. The outstanding beauty of Murchinson Falls itself, where all the waters of the Nile cascade through a 8-meter wide gorge, is a spectacular sight to visit there. Also the lodges were very nice, good food and beautiful views. Would definitely recommend this agent to anyone planning their Ugandan safari. Yaneta Safaris really tried their best to make our trip a memorable one!

Good, serious company, we had no problem and had a lovely time traveling with them.
"Our trip through Uganda with Yaneta Safaris was filled with exciting experiences. Communication with the agency was smooth via WhatsApp and they generally did their best to accommodate our needs and fulfill our prior arrangements. There was a bit of rush right before the trip, but everything turned out fine. We were especially impressed with our guide/driver, Erik. He was a great conversationalist, knowledgeable, and always ensured we felt comfortable. He truly cared about our accommodations, food, and overall well-being. Thanks to him, our trip was outstanding. Overall, choosing Yaneta Safaris was a great decision and we will definitely hire them again for our next African adventure."

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.
