Great experience!
Jonathon was our guide and he was excellent! We saw much more wildlife than we had ever expected. :)
The ride from Nairobi to the camp is a bit rough, as there wasn't air conditioning in the van, and the roads are pretty bad in spots, but we were on a very tight budget, so beggars can't be choosers! The drive also provided a very authentic experience, with plenty of opportunity to see the villages and how the people live. The camp was lovely and the food was excellent! The only thing we would have done differently would be to take a flight back to Nairobi rather than drive back. Fantastic adventure!!

Spectacular, lifetime of memories
Everything about this trip was outstanding , especially considering 'This is Africa'. The hotels were great , seeing the wildebeest cross the mara river was amazing.

We did a 3 day trip to Murchinson falls. It was outstanding and our guide Dennis as brilliant
The whole trip went well. Dennis was knowledgable about the animals we saw and about Uganda its people, and history. We stayed at Fort Murchinson lodge. It was very good. We saw 4 of the big 5 and lots more including two porcupine which are very rare. Dennis went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed himself. To get the most out of your safari be prepared to spend long days - dawn to dusk on the reserve. You will see more. I can not praise this company to highly

Perfect tour, great organization. Recommened!! 5 star company*****
We enjoyed very much our 6 day safari with Gatatu Safaris.
All was taken care off and we felt very welcome in Uganda.
Our guide/driver was a very nice, clam, and experienced person that took us to everywhere we agreed, we could see all we expected to see, and Richard is doing a great work helping kids from the region with his school.
Was a great experience in the last day to visit the school and be with the kids.
If we planning to do a safari i recommend Gatatu Safari.
Thank you Richard and Deo.

Incredible Experience
The service provided by Seth was exemplary, all emails and questions were answered quickly and with detail. Our driver, Ken, was excellent. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we were keen to see including 9 lions and 11 cheetahs, Ken made sure that we always had the best views and was overall, an excellent guide.

Awesome Experience
Being that it's a safari, there's no guarantees you'll see all the animals or get up and close to them. This was the best organised and most enjoyable trip we have ever experienced! The service from Scenery Adventures was professional extremely knowledgeable.
We were extremely impressed with the efficiency of the Scenery Adventures, the response to queries and information provided prior to our vacation and overall knowledge available to us with with Monicah and her team who did a superb job.
Thank you for unforgettable selection of activities. Transfers and flights were seamless and on time, our bookings were recognised and honoured. Everything worked better than expected!

Memorable gorilla tracking experience
I asked Kombi Tour to organize a tour with little notice, little time available (3 days) and need for assistance to babysit my 10 months old boy while my partner and I went for gorilla tracking. Everything was organised on time and efficiently: also, they sort out a problem of UWA with gorilla permits, allowing us a wonderful gorilla tracking experience.

Wonderful safari in kenya
We are avid Safari goers having visited some of the best Safari locations in East & Southern Africa over the last few years, attracted by the stunning landscapes and of course the magical wildlife. East Africa however is our favorite safari destination in large part due to the sheer diversity of both Kenya and Tanzania. We did our first safari with a famous safari outfitter who were quite expensive, and though we enjoyed the experience, we felt it was a little too ‘run of the mill’ and ‘’packaged’’ for the price. For our second trip we were recommended Shoor Safaris by one of our friends who had used them before. When we contacted them we were very particular with the details as for our second safari we wanted to go to locations a little ‘’off the beaten track’’ as well as keep the prices in check. Shoor Safaris, and Fiona in their Reservations team, were a revelation – not only creating a superb itinerary for us with carefully selected lodges, but also ending up being more reasonable than comparable outfitters. After our first trip with them a couple of years ago [ and our second to Africa], we are now planning a third safari with Shoor later this year to combine Kenya & Tanzania into a 10 day itinerary, and I can assure anyone who is considering booking with them that they are a great choice for an affordable, dependable and highly personalized luxury operator for Kenya and Tanzania

Every day is the best day in Kruger!
When looking for a safari it is hard to know which company to choose. We were in communication with many potential companies, but what set RAS apart was their timeliness in response and English communication skills. Other companies took 2 weeks to respond to us where RAS (Amelia) was responding same day and often times the same hour. Furthermore, they didn't just stop booking with the safari, but they helped plan the other part of our trip as well. We had other questions (riding elephants, diving with sharks, hotels in Cape Town & Johannesburg) they either referred or set up for us helping take much of the planning/booking and stress off our plate. Even if there was something we wanted to do that we hadn't thought of (shark diving), our guide Jaco called Amelia and the next thing we knew, it was part of our itinerary. The service was second to none.
As for the safari, we did a 5 day tour on the panorama route. Our guide Jaco was highly knowledgeable with regards to all animals, nature and landmarks/stop offs along the way as well as highly interactive with us. We did the group rides at camps, but the best part of the trip was our time spent riding in the safari van with Jaco as he knew and explained more than we were hearing when going out on group trips from base camps (day, night and bus walk guided tours). That is not to say that the camp trips were not great, but sometimes they lacked or failed to share deeper knowledge about the animals and the territory. Furthermore, Jaco cooked for us each night with many options. While riding in the park I found myself wondering what a kudu or impala might taste like… not to worry, most likely you were going to get to try one of the game meats at night which only added to the experience. During out trip it rained 3 of the days we were in Kruger National Park, but we still managed to see the Big 5! Much of that is due to the fact that Jaco was readily available and willing to take us out to continue to look for animals even after we did the guided group tours. Jaco did not want us to leave without getting the entire experience and bang for our buck. I remember seeing 3 leopards in one day and we were all excited and I asked Jaco what the best day he ever had in Kruger and he said "As a guide in this park, every day is the best day" and even after 3 days in the pouring rain I can honestly see why he thinks that! Needless to say at this point if you read this far, RAS can do it all and you will most likely leave making an additional friend in your tour guide along the way!
