customized private tour
I did a solo trip to Uganda and reached out to Kaara Adventures with my ideas. They came back to me quickly with a full itinerary including hotels. I literally had no work at all to prepare for my trip. The pick up from the hotel was punctual to the minute.
I want to mention my driver, Ronnie, who is a very safe driver with a great sense of humor. He was in contact with all the local businesses and scheduled all my activities during the trip. therefore i never had any waiting times or the feeling of stress. Every day he collected me from a hotel, organized my day and brought me back to a hotel in the evening safely.
The booked hotels en-route were all great and had a good standard. The car was also comfortable. It was equipped with AC and a pop-up roof for safari. Ronnie even had a portable WiFi router in the car free to use.
One day Ronnie came late but he gave me a call and informed me. He explained the reason which I understood. so i had time to finish my breakfast without any hurry. This is really good service and good communication!
Ronnie knew how the traffic would be and scheduled the activities according to his experience. Thanks to his great knowledge I learned a lot about Uganda's history, politics and mentality.
On my tour I could see victoria lake, the equator, the source of the nile, murchison falls and the national park. Here I have to mention that Ronnie did an extra game drive with me in the evening as we still had a bit of time before we drove to the hotel. This was the best experience of my entire trip. The actual game drive was scheduled the next morning with a park ranger… it was OK but not comparable with the extra drive Ronnie did the day before. Thumbs up!
The restaurants en-route were chosen wisely according to the schedule. They were overall good standards. I'd categorize it as local food but extra prepared for picky tourists. so I can't complain about the taste or hygiene standards. all perfectly chosen.
On the last day we made some changes as I had to go back to the airport and Ronnie brought me to an Italian restaurant instead of the usual local food. It was a welcomed surprise and super delicious.
Despite having a packed itinerary and a flight to catch on my last day, Ronnie managed traffic and activities and brought me to the airport perfectly in time.
without hesitation i can recommend this tour company and most notably Ronnie who made my trip a very special and worry-free adventure.

Very professional, organized and precise.
Everything was very professionally organized and everything went without a single problem.
Rickfig lodge is a beautiful place with a very welcoming and well-organized team.
Our guide Mario was able to make us see and experience Cap Town with its beauty and contrasts.
If we return or if friends would like to come, Ranger Buck will always be our reference point.

Efficient and professional, if you can organize such trips, you must absolutely love your country!

Kasim is a wonderful tour guide.
3days at Mount Elgon National Park was a wonderful experience. It was awesome to travel with Ameera Africa Safaris hence empowered me to Explore The Pearl Of Africa.

Amazing value for a luxury safari planned last-minute
We contacted Debbie to plan a super last- minute budget safari for my partner and I in the Okavango Delta. With a low budget and less than two weeks out, Debbie negotiated a phenomenal deal for us at Nokanyana. The lodge was beautiful and far beyond our expectations given the tight timeline and budget. Debbie arranged a 3 night stay and a private dinner for us to celebrate Valentines. She shared detailed documents with us listing everything we could expect. She was invaluable in the planning of the safari. Our transfers to and from the lodge were friendly and smooth. The guides were excellent. She even offered to store our luggage for us in Maun. We were thrilled with the lodge she chose and it was a luxury experience all around. Overall we had a wonderful time and are very happy we worked with Debbie to plan this. We highly recommend Yoga Safari and plan to use them again for our future safari dreams. Thank you!

15 day best Birding & Classic windlife safari in Uganda was fine but very exhausting trip.
The trip was extremely packed of action. I would say, too packed. The lodges/hotels were very good, but they often situated too far from the birding or safari areas. For that reason, we had to wake up (2 weeks) almost every morning about six a´clock and often it was impossible to get to sleep before 23 or even midnight.
However everything was arranged properly and the fasilities were in every place exellent.
Before the trip I was quite confused about what things really included in the price of the safari, and the real surprise was, that we had to pay 390$ more when we arrived to Uganda. Explanation was: the prices had rised so much! That is not good bisnes policy. We should have known it before the trip.
In nature I got unbelieveble experiances.

Great value for money
The safari was a wonderful experience but it was all down to Khalifa, our driver/guide. Be is a kind, funny, happy and knowledgeable person. We saw so many animals -it was beyond ompare! He knew each lion, cheetah and leopard by name and told us about the park, the peoples and tribes. My sin had a minor injury and he took us to the local doctor, making sure he got the necessary treatment. Thank you Khalifa, hope to see you soon!

Mama cooker did a great food.
All the porters were nice, always with the smile despite the hard work they were doing (Joseph, assan, youssouf, emmanuel, paulo, peter, paolo, mohamed, john)
Thanks again for this amazing experience!
