Responsive, reliable, committed to serving their clientele
Hamadi was very good at communicating and helping me to set up this unexpected opportunity for a very short 2 day/one-night safari. Winnie, my guide for the two days ,was very reliable and knowledgeable about the animals and ecossytem. I traveled alone as an older single woman and was very comfortable throughout - last minute changes, on my part, came up, and Hamadi was very flexible, and again a reliable communicator.
Lots Of Birdlife & Rhinos
The wildlife seen within Nakuru NP complemented that seen in other Kenyan national parks. Didn't see any big cats or elephants, but plenty of zebra, giraffe, buffalo, baboons, warthogs, & a variety of antelopes. Highlights were the rhino sightings, adults and young.
Saw more birds (25+ species) here than elsewhere including plenty of flamingos, pelicans and other water birds (the lake level was very high such that several of the roads were underwater and impassable).
Definitely worth a visit.

Good service and great trip
Booking Yala Safari was very easy and they answered fast to our emails. The trip was interesting and our guide Stanley was very good! The rafting was amazing and Christopher was very helpful when I needed the photos from Raft Uganda. Thank you so much!

Nice time and fun experience with Yala Safaris Uganda
We went to Kampala & Jinja tour with Yala Safaris Uganda. The tour was nice, but maybe there was not so much arranged activities in Jinja. Last part of the tour in Kampala was interesting and full of things to see. Our driver Stanley was very helpful and sweet. :)

Canoeing down the Zambezi was an experience I will not forget, exciting but nerve wracking too!
Our guides were excellent, very highly trained and I soon learned to trust them. I was very nervous, and was able to be in the canoe with the main guide. I do feel that there should be a guide in each canoe as the one that was without did struggle at times, especially when paddling past the hippo pods, an anxious time.
I was amazed to see a lot of the equipment is metal, which must add to the weight, and the chaps worked so hard loading and unloading, can these not be replaced with plastic tables, chairs and tent poles??
The food was really good, cooked and served really well. Bit sceptical about the hygiene - cloths very dirty, washing up in cold water, but we weren't ill thankfully.
It was an amazing trip, the guides kept us safe, and it was very beautiful, getting so close to the elephants was special.

Good.
Sami, the car driver was really good . And Kioko the chief as well. The hotel was not so nice without hot water and only 2 hours of light a Day.

The organization ... a real surprise

The driver adapted to our wishes but it had to be clearly formulated
We have learned little about animals and stories. The guide was very quiet it was often unclear what happened next

Very easy to deal with and the itinerary was fantastic!
We has such a wonderful safari. We booked everything on line prior and it was so easy. Quick responses to email etc. by Wild Africa Travel Company. We got a very detailed itinerary and everything was exactly how they had described it. We loved the itinerary as it was the perfect blend of safari vs. cultural activities. Some of the Safari days were very long drives sometimes up to 10hrs driving, with a few rest breaks. With that said we could not have asked for better drivers. The accommodation that we stayed at was beautiful and a nice mix of tented camps and lodges. Each day got better than the last, even when we thought that the previous day could not be topped. We saw so many animals and experienced the Big Five almost daily. We witnessed leopard kills and other amazing experiences. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and lived up to every expectation we had. We can't wait to go again.

Nice but to noisy and shaking.
Tree day Safari tenting two nights in Etosha.Nice idea which can be made better. All was excelellent,views, animimals(lions,rhinos,a chheta,elefants, camping sites,lovely swimmingpools at the fist two stops, but No one did take a swim in the last pool -green and slimy(namutoni). The food good, explanations of animals and nature ok for me..BUT...the vehicle. I would like to recommend the Wild dogs as their safari was not so expensive but I would not go again.The vehicle without ac, was extremely noisy on the way to and from Etosha..,You had to put Your earplugs in. And on the gravel roads we several times asked ourselves,"how can the suspension stand this jumping and shaking."The right answer was" that there were no suspension to be broken" we joked with each other.
Imagine a much more comfortable ride from and to in that case one could have stand the shaky ride..I want to be ernest with You,I do think that people will hesitate before they go with this company again(Wild dog) if the will have to travel in that kind of a noisy vehicle
