my adventurous and charming trip down to Uganda
Me and my husband planned our festive holidays down to Uganda last December, at the airport we were welcomed by the yaneta crew Bracius and William who were so glad to receive us. They expressed themselves in excellent English and tried to translate the native languages to us which made communication more fun.
They booked us into the best lodges and travelled, guided us with no hesitation or bias. According to the way they guided us you could tell that they loved what they were doing. Having the yaneta safaris staff with us made the trip a success and really enjoyable.

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.

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.

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."
