very reliable trip organization with highly competent guide
In organizing our tour the communication with Gatatu was very effektiv. Richard responded very fast and flexible to my special questions. He tried to keep in contact with me and thus I was never unsure, wether e erythind will work well.
And so it did. Our guide was well in time in Mutukula zo pick us up at the Tanzanian boarder. Kenneth, the guide again proved to be very competent in explaining us the coutry, it's nature and animals. This was the second trip i made with Kenneth + Gatatu and again all our experiences were positiv! I can also recommend the Fort Murchison Hotel , which Gatatu had selected for us: clean, good service, well tasting food and a beautifull site!

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...

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 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!
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.
