Perfect, flexible, professional and incredible guide
If you want to have the best trip of your lives, do not hesitate to visit Uganda, it is a wonderful country full of culture, delicious food, incredible people, unforgettable landscapes and animals. And there is no better way to do it than with Sam as your guide and Yaneta Safaris as your travel agency they will adapt everything as you need. Thanks to them they did our trip something incredible and magical. They treated us super well and hosted us in incredible places. They exceeded all our expectations. It was the best safari we could ever had and Uganda gave us a memorable experience of a life time.

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.

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."

The trip in Uganda and Kenya with Yaneta Safari was a terrible bad experience.
The trip in Uganda and Kenya with Yaneta Safari was a terrible bad experience.
The only positive aspect was our driver in Uganda; Moses was a perfect guide, he always did all the best to meet our desires and expectations.
We did with Yaneta a 5 five day tour in Uganda and 7 days in Kenya where Yaneta involved Big Time Safaris as a partner. We booked the trip in february 2023 and we have paid everything as stipulated in the contract with Yaneta.
The trip had already some issues in Uganda, but it became a terrible nightmare in Kenya.
1) the first night in Uganda two out of four rooms did not have a private bathroom instead in the contract it was specified that a private bathroom would always be guaranteed; we did not receive any refund for this.
2) They booked our flight to Kenya probably at the last moment so we had to fly at 3am, as a result we didn't sleep in any hotel, but we didn't get any refund
3) when we arrived in Kenya the Kenyan agency told us that Yaneta had not paid for our trip; we immediately wrote to Yaneta who replied that Big Time Safaris had increased costs at the last moment, Yaneta however did not want to give them more money and therefore had decided not to pay this difference.
4) Big Time Safaris blackmailed us: pay cash now the difference or we take you to Nairobi and we stop the tour
5) Yaneta asked us to pay because they were economically in difficulty in that moment and asked us to trust them that we will have receive a refund in short time; we had no choice
6) We had to pay to finish the tour, but in the meantime we missed a safari in the Masai Park and did not receive any refund for that either; the cost was $80 per person.
We found ourselves in a terrible situation, forced to pay and treated very arrogantly.
Yaneta wrote me in October to be patient that they would have sent us a refund, but now a new year is arrived and we have not receive any pay back.
We have also thought that the two agencies had organized a scam to extort us further money.
A terrible nightmare !!!
Perfect company
We had a very good experience with yaneta safaris.We had a 11days Gorilla trekking chimps and big five game drive safari, Everything turned out perfectly from the very beginning while planning our trip the communications was always prompt and our guide Erick was very knowledgeable and caring and he was very patient with us which made our stay in Uganda lovely. We recommend this compafor great experience.

Client Satisfaction First
From the get go choosing Yaneta safaris has been amazing. Starting off with the email communication before the trip, helping and answering questions has been great both by emails and via watsapp.The trip itself, it was such an amazing experience.
The service was excellent, both our guides (Eddie in Kenya and Moses in Uganda) were awesome. They made us feel safe, took great care of us, and made sure the trip went on smooth and were both very knowledgable.
The different excursions and outings we did were all well organized, everything was taken care of by Yaneta safaris and the guides. All the different activities we did were great, and we felt that we really got a lot of value for the money we paid. It exceeded our expectations.
The staff in the hotels and the food was excellent. They were so attentive and helpful. The different rangers and trekking guides we came across were all very informative and knowledgable.
I would recommend everyone to go visit Kenya and Uganda and to use Yaneta safaris as a tour operator and to request for Eddie and Moses as your tour guides

We recommend a safari in Uganda with Yaneta safaris
We’ve just finished our safari trip in Uganda with Yaneta safaris and guide Musa. It was 8 days best of great adventures, beautiful views, and a lot of birds and animals in the pearl of Africa, I highly recommend this trip to everyone who wants to go to the safari in Uganda. This trip has got a lot more adventure than just a safari. Chimpanzee tracking and visiting gorillas in their natural habitat is absolutely amazing and really anyone can do it. Uganda is a very beautiful country and very safe one. Food is very good, main roads are also great. We had never before eaten sweet fruits like banana,passsion fruit,avocado pineapple.Our tour guide became our good friend from the very beginning of our trip and made it unforgetable with his smile, his care, his great knowledge. He knows everything about the animals, birds, plants, the history of Uganda and much more! He has always provided the best for us, the best seats, the best views, even animals we spotted at safaris were always incredibly close to us.
We are very grateful for everything and we hope to come back and see this beautiful country again, of course again with Musa and Yaneta safaris.

8 Days of exciting magical Kenya safari
We spent our 8 days on a magical safari in Kenya’s national parks. While planning our trip, Bracius was great at communication. He responded to WhatsApp messages within a few minutes. Our driver and guide was Hudson. First day was in Samburu national park at the wonderful Samburu Sopa lodge. The place was beautiful. We saw a lioness stalking giraffes and a mama cheetah with 4 babies. Hudson was a great driver and had lots of patience and experience. He was good at spotting animals even at a distance. We went to Lake Naivasha and Hells Gate. We went on a beautiful hike in Hells Gate and learned a lot about Masai culture from the local guide.Masai Mara was unforgettable as we saw so many animals. Saw one female leopard up close and then one male leopard stalking and hunting a topi,. The vast expanse of plains was mind blowing. Next place was Lake Nakuru where we saw many white rhinos and flamingos. Then Amboseli we witnessed families of elephants feeding and bathing. Next was Tsavo - maneaters lodge next to the river was amazing. There was an elephant walking through the lodge grounds and we heard him eating near our tent in the night. Everything ran smoothly. The hotels and lodges were comfortable with delicious food, especially the Sopa lodges and Lake Nakuru Lodge. All was well organized. It was an amazing and unforgettable trip. Felt truly like we had come back home - there is an indescribable energy in the air. Kenya is working hard to preserve these wild places and really appreciate the people for taking care of the places. We are already planning to come back to Kenya with our two kids. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
