Reviews from travellers on this tour

Marina  

came as a guest left as friend

02-Jan-2022

Back from my first visit in Uganda, I would like to share my experience of my 8 day safari tour as a female solo traveller. Travel consultant Catherine organized the tour according to my preferences and made sure everything runs smoothly. Any question or doubts I had were addressed promptly. My tour guide Ibaada was very polite and a responsible driver. He was there for airport pick-up and took care of the paperwork during the trip. He is calm and communicates fluently in English. I felt safe and comfortable in his company. The Ganyana team put effort to ensure a positive experience and they were very responsive also during the trip on whatsapp. Especially in current times of pandemic, I was grateful to have chosen a reliable tour operator. Thank you Ganyana Safaris team!
