I was really impressed by the whole experience . Everything is well organized. No frustrations.
This is no ordinary tour company. I had a truly wonderful experience. The communication skills are great. I was a happy tour goer since our meet up location had been communicated in advance and was on time.
The safari tour services are just the best. They meet all the customers needs with so much passion and professionalism.
Tour guide had good knowledge of the local with so much planned facts and statistics and also brought in own knowledge and personal experiences.
Across the wild tour and safaris is a company that I will definitely recommend to friends as they meet all their clients expectations.
Thanks for the wonderful experience!!!

Trip of a lifetime!
From the first time I contacted Saso Uganda Safaris until the end of my trip with them, everything went incredibly smoothly.
I contacted many different tour operators when I decided to go to Uganda, and out of all the ones I contacted, Wilson was the quickest to respond, with the most specific cost and itinerary information.
He was flexible as I changed the trip around, and once we settled on an itinerary, all went quite smoothly. Vincent, our driver showed up right on time, and proceeded to navigate the roads of Uganda flawlessly through rain and shine and all in between.
He was quick to point out all wildlife and intriguing sights, and took care of us every step of the way with ease. The places that Saso picked for us to stay were fantastic, and a great match for who we were as travellers.
The activities were also well-selected, and adjusted for our taste, such as when we wanted to add trekking in the Kyambura gorge to see the Chimpanzees Would recommend them highly as a great choice, with very reasonable pricing.

Do not use this company even though it sounds a good price
Unable to provide a tour due to no cash flow ..avoid this company for now , not sure if they will recover from their debts but they owe us almost $3000. They also owe hotels and vehicle rental companies a lot of outstanding debt.

Excellent safari! 100% Ugandan owned and operated!
My self, partner and mother had an amazing experience with Gatatu safaris. We did a 9 day safari to see the gorillas, chimps, Queen Elizabeth national park, Murchison Falls and the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
All of the preplanning with Richard was professionally organised. He would always reply to emails as soon as possible and I was very impressed with the level of his service.
The safari itself was budget but there were touches of luxury thrown in there. It was super flexible and we were most impressed with our guide Steven. He was a great guide, a fantastic driver where we were made to feel safe and he took all feedback onboard quickly and professionally. He made sure the vehicle was tidied and washed every day which was a nice touch.
All of the accomodations and meal choices were great and Steven went above and beyond to make our trip special and to ensure we were happy at all times.
The only thing I could make improvements on if there could be a pair of binoculars in the vehicle for guests to use. But we will make sure we bring our own next time.
We were happy to put our payments into a company that is 100% Ugandan owed and operated. No part of our money was going to an overseas travel operator. I feel happy that we have supported a local operator and all of our funds have gone to suppliers owned and run in Uganda.
We hope to be back one day and we will tell our friends what an amazing company Gatatu is to see the Big 5 and much more with!
Thank you for helping us make wonderful lasting memories,
Kate, Mike and Rebecca

excekent experience!! Olí was the perfect guide and Bakra a perfect chef!! 100% recommended
We did the 3 night Kwai safari and mokoro boat.
For the booking the communication was always very fluent and I didn’t have any problem at all, neither with the payment nor with the information required.
During the safari it was a perfect experience! Olí was a perfect guide who didn’t get tired of looking for all the animals and giving all the explanations!!
Bakra was a perfect chef. Every meal was a moment to enjoy because the level was very high.

Extremely Helpful, efficient & accommodating
We were given excellent cheerful service by extremely helpful staff. They researched several safaris for us & in particular recommended the one which we eventually chose and it was far better than we had been expecting. Thank you very much to Let's Go Travel for making the whole process a pleasure.

Samburu lived up to & exceeded all of my expectations
I visited Samburu National Reserve in the last week of February 2018. The weather was beautiful everyday. I stayed at Larsens Tent Camp which was a wonderful 5 star experience with exceptional service & food.
The very first day we arrived at Samburu we saw most of the wildlife we hadn't seen elsewhere, such as Greater Kudu, Somali Ostrich, Gunther's Dikdik, Beisa Oryx, Vulturine Guineafowl, Gerenuk, Grevy's Zebra, Reticulated & Rothschild Giraffes as well as many different bird species and a special highlight was seeing a Striped Hyena, as well as seeing the usual, most still fantastic wildlife Samburu has to offer.
Our guides supplied by Rhino Safaris through Cheesemans' Ecological Safaris were outstanding. They were extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and great drivers.
I would highly recommend Samburu National Reserve to anyone interested in going on a safari in Kenya and I would love to go back one day myself!
