Perfectly organized, comfortable vehicles, fair prices, trained and helpful guides, safe! :-)
I had a wonderful trip with Likana Safaris. The guides were very well organized and were able to answer every question. Small spontaneous changes to the program were no problem after consultation. We felt very safe throughout the entire trip. The value for money was amazing. Thanks to very personalized tours, we mostly avoided the large crowds and were able to observe the animals undisturbed and take breathtaking photos. Not be neglected should be the perfectly maintained and very comfortable vehicle - incredibly important on long journeys. After we were back in the city, we got valuable tips for good restaurants and places to go. Shortly after the “big” safari, we booked two more smaller trips near the city. These were also carried out in an uncomplicated and excellently organized manner. All in all, I can only recommend this organizer.

A memorable experience
We were fortunate enough to go on a 3-day trip to the Murchison Falls National Park with Likana Safaris Uganda in February of this year.
We had three days packed with wonderful experiences.
We saw a large number of animals and birds during the game drive: elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, crowned cranes, to name just some.
Another highlight of the safari was the boat cruise up to the Falls with sightings of hippo and numerous bird life. And on our last day, we were taken to the top of the Falls: a spectacular view of the river as it plunges down the gorge.
The whole trip was a great success due to the outstanding organization by Likana Safaris and the knowledge and experience of its excellent guide.
Great accommodation too at the Sambiya River Lodge.
Uganda is well worth visiting and Likana Safaris did an excellent job in introducing us to this beautiful country.

Very helpful in designing the exact trip that we wished for!
Booking our safari through Likana Safaris proved to be an exceptional choice. Right from the outset, the communication with their team was excellent, allowing us to customize our trip precisely to our wishes. Our experience was elevated further by our knowledgeable driver, who not only chauffeured us but also doubled as a proficient guide!
The itinerary crafted by Likana Safaris was meticulously planned, ensuring we witnessed amazing sunrises and sunsets while strategically arranging game drives for optimal wildlife encounters. Additionally, the lodge where we stayed at was great. Overall, our adventure with Likana Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary, and I would recommend it to everybody!

3-Day Gorilla Trekking
We booked our 3-day gorilla trekking through Likana Safari at a great price-performance ratio. We experienced a lot in a short time, including a visit to Lake Mburo, gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a guided community walk and a stop at the equator on the way back. We really liked the accommodation at Ride 4 a Women. The times we were given beforehand were not always very precise, but we had already prepared ourselves for longer journeys anyway. I can only warmly recommend this trip.

Walk on Lake Victoria
With our guide Jigos Kalungi, we visited two beautiful sites around Lake Victoria in Kampala. Calm, purity and tranquility are the words that come to me to sum up this afternoon. Thank you Jigos for the music, the detour to the church and for the very good service. The Amazon Club will return in full.

Very professional, Personable, & Perfect for All Ages!!!
I’m a 70+ (years) a Great Grandma trying to keep up with the family. I was there just for the ride and had no plans for the Safari but was convinced last minute to go. From the moment I met the owner, and workers from Likana I had an experience as if I had won the lottery. They treated me like royalty. Budongo Forest was full of wonderful surprises and Murchison Falls was breathtaking I was constantly being educated about the area, and felt a need sense of belonging. I always felt safe. They made sure this seasoned citizen was comfortable, hydrated, and patiently waited while I kept up at my own pace. It my first Safari but won’t be my last adventure with Likana Safari.

Friendly and accommodating
We had an excellent trip with Likana Safari’s. They were quick and helpful to respond with a personalised itinerary for what we wanted to do, along with good recommendations on additional things to do and see. The accommodations they recommended were excellent, very comfortable. The driver/guide was superb, knowledgable and friendly and we felt very safe with him driving us around.

Professional and emphatic - service comes from the bottom of the heart
We booked a 4 days Murchinson Fall Tour for a big group (18 people) and 10 Days Tour (Queen Elizabeth Park, Gorilla Tracking & Hiking in Rwenzori) for 4 people. Bonny took so well care of us - exceptional service. We got to know Bonny very well during our trip, he is such an empathic, passionate and knowledgable person. He provides you with a caring and secure feeling.
Thank you very much!

Awesome Experience
We had two awesome safari experiences with Bonny's team. A safari in Murchison Falls National Park where we saw all the wildlife and had an incredible lion encounter! And the gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park with a fascinating observation of these gentle giants.
The tours were well organised without any unforeseen inconveniences and nice accomodations with good food and very polite people.
I can highly recommend Likana Safaris and their work.
