Amazing Safari in Uganda
We went for 7 days classic private comfort safari with Gatatu Safaris and it was really wonderful, incredible experience. We were helped by our tour guide who was super responsive. He also answered all my questions quickly and provided information on places I never thought of, He can work to customize your safari to your own wishes. And also he was able to spot animals everywhere. We saw many animals and got close we could take pictures with our cell phones. We could not have more better guide. i definitely recommends Gatatu Safaris

Enjoyed our Ugandan Safari
We really enjoyed our 8 day Ugandan Safari. The accommodation was better than expected, meals were great, and experience even better! We had our own driver and it made getting around very easy. The only thing we wish was a bit better was communication regarding minor changes. Overall great experience. Thanks!

A great Ugandan experience
My partner and I had a wonderful time with Gatatu Safaris. Richard was very helpful from the start and does a lot for the Ugandan community in his own time.
We felt very safe at all times and enjoyed travelling around Uganda. Our guide Jasper was helpful and made our 8 nights great.
All accommodation was fantastic and we felt very looked after.
Thanks Gatatu Safaris for a great time

Great experience
We had very good experience with this operator. They organized for us the gorilla trek and transfer to Kigali. Richard was always very responsive and went an extra mile to help us with additional things like buying bus tickets or arranging lodge transfer. Thank you very much Gatatu crew, you rock!

Unique thoughtfulnes
Richard and Steve are an incredible duo. Not only they delivered on all the expectations around the Gorilla trekking, but also they went above and beyond by taking me out to local restaurants in their spare time.
This will make your Uganda experience significantly better

Excellent organization from start to finish
My fiance and I did a 3-day trip in Uganda with Gatatu Safaris, which included a one day Gorilla tracking activity and a stay on an idyllic island on Lake Bunyonyi, coupled with a short trip to the Pygmy village. From the onset of the trip (we got picked up from our hotel in Rwanda) to its finish (at Kigali International Airport), everything went very smooth. Richard put together an impeccable itinerary for us and it did not disappoint. Our guide and driver - Steven, was always on time, was very professional and courteous and he spoke very good English. The accommodations picked for us by Richard were very good and both had a great selection of food. All in all, we would definitely recommend Gatatu to anyone thinking of touring Uganda and Rwanda, especially since they provide the best services for the lowest prices.

Amazing experience and very professional
We went into an 8days Safari in Uganda with Gatatu Safaris. The expererience was amazing and overall even exceeded our expectations.
Lodging was amazing (imagine Elephants coming exactly out of your door in the lodge feeding and you are there to capture the moment)
Activities (They delivered exactly what they promised with all animals included and tried their best to achieve it)
Behaviour-Punctuality - Responsiveness, were up to European standards and extremely friendly and caring to our specific needs. Even when we had a medical emergency they were there to help and found immediate solution.
Our driver Stephen, was amazing, very skillfull driver and accomondating with a clear friendly and human approach.
Lastly the owner provides some of the money into real charity for children in need and we had the pleasure and honour to see it with our own eyes.
Prices are amazing and much lower than the competition.
So please, whenever you want to look for a Safari in Africa consider them as the best-by far option. We are looking forward for our next trip to Kenya and Tanzania with them.

We had an amazing time in Uganda, it was incredible!
Thanks to Gatatu and Reward our guide we lived an authentic African experience. They were very flexible and thoughtful. The places we went and the animals we saw were incredible. We felt like home the days we were there. We love Uganda, a country where you can find amazing experiences.
Fantastic trip
GATATU Safari was very professional and kind . Ready to solve immediately all the problem that can occur when you travel in country like Uganda , still not perfectly turistized . All the accommodation were excellent (o obviously in relation what the place can offer), in particular Lake Bunyonyi was an amazing place with stunning views on the lake . Of course Gorilla experience was fantastic even if very hard ( you must be really in a god shape to walk on steep and steep slopes for five/six hours but ...... view the Gorilla repays you abundantly the efforts

Excellent local company to do your East Africa Safari
Richard put together a great 9 day trip around Uganda which has the most stunning scenery and wildlife. Steven our driver & guide made sure we were safe and well looked after. We wanted to choose a local company to ensure all our money paid was going to Uganda, rather than a large foreign company & travel agent commission. We weren’t disappointed and can highly recommend Gatatu Safaris.
