Professional and solicitous team
We contacted Likana Safaris Uganda for a three-day safari to the Murchison Falls and we ended up having a thoroughly enjoyable experience thanks to the professional and friendly Likana team.
Since the planning phase, we had a courteous and competent interaction that allowed tailoring the programme to our needs. In the safari we had Patrick as the driver, who was not only an accomplished driver but also a very well informed guide who, as a former ranger, gave us very interesting insights into the wildlife and the various issues related to it. We were accompanied by Bonny, too, who was a pleasant companion and always attentive to our needs and ready to readjust the schedule according to the changing needs and opportunities.
The safari drives were enjoyable and allowed us to see a lot of game, from elephants to oribis. Deserving particular mention a not too patient leopard with its arboreal pantry and the elegant crowned cranes. In the short cruise towards the falls, we could see some crocs and many hippos and enjoy the young but already majestic Nile relaxing after the drop, seen at a distance. On the following day, the walk at the top of the falls gave us a different view of the same river, thunderously plunging in a cloud of spray, leaving an unforgettable mark on our memory. On the way back we stopped at the Ziwa rhino sanctuary and took a short hike for a close encounter with these amazing beasts.
Altogether, it was an interesting and informative experience made more pleasant by the attention and professionality of the highly commended Likana Safaris crew.
We know where to look for our next safari in Uganda: Likana Safaris Uganda.

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 experienced and eager to show us as many animals as possible.
We had the chance to go on a 3 day trip to Murchison falls which was an intense but definitely worth it. It was a great trip. We were 8 people in one car and saw so many animals from lions, to elephants, buffalo's, leopards,.... Overall a great experience and our guide was also flexible and knowledgeable about the animals and the park. Without him we definitely would not have seen so many great animals. The accomodation jibiri was also super. We had a shared room for 2 people with nice AC, bathroom and comfortable beds. The AC was definitely necessary. The staff was nice, only the food orders took quite some time, but the food itself good. I can definitely recommend the trip. In a short trip one gets to see so much and Murchison falls with it's impressive water falls, animals, and landscape is definitely worth a visit.

I like the company. They are experienced planners and make sure to accommodate needs of the clients. We have been using the references and tour operators for a month during a study-field trip and had a close collaboration. Can recommend

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.
