The best Safari in Uganda
My name is Anna from USA together with my husband Collin have completed a 10 days primate tour safari with Gatatu Safaris,It has been a very nice safari with our guide George is the most guide we think he could provide with clients correct information, he took us through various national parks in Uganda and Queen Elizabeth together with Bwindi Impenetrable National park has been our best adventure where we saw gorilla’s and Game drive around Queen Elizabeth!
While around lake bunyonyi,we slept at birdnest and food production was the best however we visited the community around lake bunyonyi where we spent a day with Mwendo needy children and orphan project of which Gatatu Safaris support actually sponsored a child which has been our dream for his Education
With our good experience with Gatatu Safaris as a travel company in Uganda, we highly recommend them with their good experience they offer, we have booked another safari for our daughters with Gatatu,we are leaving Uganda soon but we hope to come back!

Professional friendly service.
Good person.
I met Richard, the company owner, on my trip in Uganda. He is very committed to help people in need and make a difference for them.

Very helpful and reliable agency
We've been tracking the gorillas in August 2014 and we get the permit with the help of Gatatu Safaris. We were 100% satisfied with the service. Richard was very available to understand our needs, and he did a very good job trying to arrange the permit for the day we really wanted (which was not easy, but he did it!). Everything was perfect and good organized, we had a perfect day!

Gorilla Tracking Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Gatatu Safari, especially Richard, gave us an unbelievable experience!
Everything was perfectly organised! We could call and reach Richard at any time. He even picked us up from the Rwanda-Uganda border and drove us around after the Tracking for free (e.g. we could visit Lake Bunyonyi or the market in Kabale). He is very nice and obliging. I can fully recommend Gatatu Safari! It is a small company and there "the customer is king" ;)

very competent and reliable! We enjoyed our competent guide Kenneth Muhindi!
In preparing the safari Gatatu proved to be very flexible in dealing with our wishes. Everything worked very well as promised. The guide was very competent and engaged to assure, that we could really find embarrassing observations of animals in the park. Accomodation was perfect! We had a good time! Thank you!

Unforgettable expirience and great oganization of the whole trip!
Im very happy, that i booked the gorilla tracking for me and my family via Gatatu Safaris. Richard proofed, that he is pefect at organizing such a trip in the last minute, even if it seems like it is not possible.
The night before we spent at his lodge "Wild Olives Lodge" and i was very surprised because it was one of the cleanest lodges i've seen by now in uganda and the food was also very good.
All in all we made a great expirience with Gatatu Safaris.
Thank you!

Absolutely excellent, everybody was extremely friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.
The communications were great, very clear and precise. The service was awesome, especially the food. The tour was well organised as I spent some time getting to know the Bunyonyi and Kabale area. The time I spent with Richard and Charles was fantastic and they were very friendly and extremely accommodating.

Beautiful 1 day gorillas safari in Bwindi
I met Richard, the ceo of Gatatu Safaris, in Kabale and he could organize a gorilla safari with a permit for the next day for a very reasonable price. Richard is very professional, open, and friendly. The trip was absolutely perfect and breathtaking and we had a wonderful time together. I learned a lot from him about different aspects of life in Uganda. Also Richard showed me a local school around Bunyonyi he is managing and supporting, which was a very humbling and inspiring experience.
Thank Richard and Gatatu Safaris for that unforgettable experience!

Thank you, Gatatu Safaris, for an unforgettable, exciting experience - tailor-made to suit my needs!
I was impressed by the fair and transparent pricing of the trip and outstanding customer service. The Gatatu tour operator, Richard, whose English was excellent, proved highly organised and exceptionally attentive. He was also a very careful driver. The trekking was physically tough (at least for me at the age of 60+) - hiring a porter was key to the success of my safari trip. I loved the certificate award ceremony at the end. All the Park staff, too, were very professional.
Beautiful scenery. An altogether magical day! I shall be returning to Uganda and its wonderful people...
