I fully enjoyed the best of Uganda.
I participated in a tour of gorillas and national parks. There were no issues, everything went smoothly, and it was an intensely packed five days. The hotel was clean, and the food was delicious.
My guide, Nathan, was very kind and flexible with any small changes. He was also knowledgeable about birds and explained every species we observed. Above all, he was a funny guy, and it's no exaggeration to say that he made the trip more enjoyable.
The days spent traveling around Uganda in a Land Cruiser remain a vivid memory for me.

Likana Safaris organised our Safari Tour perfectly.
We found the safari tour on the website of safaribookings but still had some questions about the offer. The questions were answered very quickly and detailed. The price of our tour has changed inbetween but Likana Safaris Uganda offered us the tour for the old price. Regarding to the pick-up-point they were very flexible which was convenient for us.
The tour itself was perfectly organised and we were very satisfied. The driver was conducting the car very responsible. We felt safe at any time in the crowded traffic of Uganda. Also it was very uncomplicated to add some extra activities during our tour. Our accomodations were supposed to be from the budget category but in the end they were quite luxury. Also the food was very tasty.
There were only two points, which I think they could be improved. I would be very happy, if it would be possible to pay the bill also in other currencies apart from US-dollar, e.g. in euros. The other point is that Likana Safaris Uganda felt very responsible for us. There might be some groups that like those type of intensive care. But for us it felt too much sometimes. Despite this in total we highly recommend this tour operator and would book our next tour at Likana Safaris Uganda as well.

Perfect days exploring the nature of Rwanda & Uganda - HIGHLY recommend :-)
Me and my friend travelled from Germany to Kigali and felt welcomed from the first minute.
We booked a 4-day Gorilla tour including some nature highlights of Rwanda and Uganda.
Andrew was our guide.
Bonny, the owner of Likana Safaris, also joined us on the tour.
Both were really cool and friendly guys.
They explained us a lot about the African life and culture and we had a wonderful time together .
On the first day, you visit the Genocide memorial in Kigali and drive to Volcanoes National Park, where you visit the Gorilla information center giving you a chance to learn more about this amazing creatures .
The drive from Kigali is very scenic.
The second day includes a trek to see Golden Monkeys, which are super cute and provide a good warm-up for the Gorillas on Day 3.
Gorilla trekking itself is in Uganda, meaning that you cross the border on the second day.
Undoubtely, the Gorilla trekking was the highlight of the tour. Going deeper and deeper into the jungle and finally getting the chance to see these friendly and fascinating animals in their natural habitat is a once in a lifetime experience, which is definitely worth the high permission rates (800$).
The rest of the tour you spend on Lake Bunyonyi, which gives you the opportunity to relax and see some nice Ugandan sceneries.
All in all, these 4 days were one of my all-time favorite travel experiences .
Worth mentioning are also the lodges where you sleep which all have a beautiful location in the middle of the nature .
What I highly appreciate is that although everything was perfectly organized, it never felt like a guided tour. More like a trip together with African friends.
Thank you to Likona Safaris for introducing us to your culture and showing us the Heart of Africa (Rwanda) as well as the Pearl of Africa (Uganda)!!!!

very organized, great communication, amazikg tour!
We did the 4-days Gorilla and Golden monley trek and we were happy from the beginning on.
Before the booking Bonny answered many questions and prepared us for the upcoming trip. Once we arrived we got picked up at the airport and brought to our hotel. Organization in overall was perfect. The lodges that Likana has choosen for us were also very good value for money. The trekking was the highlight of course, but the whole trip was a perfect mixture between excitement and relaxing.
Communication was very easy, spontanious adaption in the tour were always possible.
It was always fun to talk to our guides, we learned a lot about the countries, its culture and the wildlife.
To be honest, there wasn't anything that we weren't happy about.
Exciting Tour with exciting people, we enjoyed every minute, thank you!
