I had a wonderful experience and an amazing adventure on this trip: 12 days in Kenya
Mr. Otieno respond promptly to all my inquiries. He had everything organised and he always checked on us while we were on the road to make sure we were safe and we're having fun . The price was very competitive, all the accommodation were excellent. Anthony, our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and excellent at finding and explaining all sorts of animals and birds, he used the long range 2 way radio effectively to listen and asked other guides and find out where the animal sightings were taking place to get us up close to the wildlife . I will definitely have Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris again on my next trip to Kenya. I highly recommend this company, it exceeded my expectations.

Amazing adventure!
My friends and I went on a 6 day safari. Henry was our customer service consultant. He did an amazing job helping us to decide what options were right for our group and arranging all of the details. Once we were on the road, our guide James was really incredible. Always upbeat and calm. He was really excited to see the animals too and had lots of interesting information to share about the various species of animals and birds. His driving skills really shone when we encountered some unseasonably strong rain that washed out a bridge on our route. He navigated the situation really smoothly, getting us across the river safely with minimal delay (a lot of jeeps were stuck in the mud, so this was no small feat!). Personally, I my favorite accommodations was Tanzania Ndutu Bush Camp. It was really remote and very special, and shockingly luxurious - I really wouldn't call it camping at all. We had an amazing trip because of Henry hard work. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an exciting and safe safari adventure with an experienced guide.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania's National Parks
Getting in touch was really easy. Godson regularly does tours and game drives with guests of the place we were staying at.
He made us several offers so we could decide what fits us best.
We chose to do a two-day trip to Tarangire NP and Lake Manyara NP (which Godson advised us to visit; in retrospect a very good idea!) with an overnight-stay just outside of Lake Manyara NP, so we were among the first five cars entering Lake Manyara NP in the morning. This allowed us to see a leopard right in front of us on the road.
A couple of days later we had another game drive at Arusha NP.
In the car was enough room for the three of us to stand and see. Godson provided us with cooled water (much needed!) and a lunch. He also made reservations at a lodge and organized the complete trip. All we had to worry about were sunscreen, insect repellents and bringing a camera and binoculars.
We had a great time in all of the parks, thanks to Godson. He pointed out many animals we wouldn't even have noticed. Godson really knows his stuff about wildlife in Tanzania!
Overall, we made a fine choice travelling with Godson Adventures!

Amazing professional tour agency with really good guides
It was so good to have trip with Gatatu Safaris in Uganda & Rwanda...
Their guides are really professional, we had group tour with them and they took care of everything.
I highly recommended this amazing company to see most beautiful mountain gorillas in their wild lifes.

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,

I am definitely going on tour again with this tour operator, They have a way with their customers!!
I usually get pissed at poor telephone handling, but to my surprise, they are very prompt with answering telephone calls and are knowledgeable about their products. The service was top class and the people friendly. I didn't know the cat family feed mostly in the night and they were quick to point out that. I would recommend them to anyone, they are a professional team with the zeal to give you value for your money. I was treated with a lot of dignity and i never experienced the "local customer" attitude and apathy and indifference I always feel with other tour operators.

Great experience and memorable life time
Great experience with Yaneta Safaris The organisation is perfect, everything was clear and ok. They even take care of the safe transport from and to the airport. our guide and driver from Yaneta Safaris was always on time and gave a lot of information. He is a very open and friendly person and could provide us with a lot of interesting information about the culture of Uganda and the different animals during the Safari tour. We visited Murchinson Falls National Park,Bwindi impenetrable forest and we a great chance to have eyes with the gorillas .There one can really experience Africa as taken from the picture-book: stunning landscapes and a grand wilderness feel, where one instinctively senses that nature has not yet been tamed and wildlife reigns. The outstanding beauty of Murchinson Falls itself, where all the waters of the Nile cascade through a 8-meter wide gorge, is a spectacular sight to visit there. Also the lodges were very nice, good food and beautiful views. Would definitely recommend this agent to anyone planning their Ugandan safari. Yaneta Safaris really tried their best to make our trip a memorable one!

Fanatastic service and safari company
From start to the end you can feel that the guys at Hekima safari wants to give you the best safari experience possibly: excellent knowledge, fantastic persons and outstanding service. At the day the canoeing was closed at the park but they found another lake just as beautiful, no extra charge. We Couldn’t imagine my trip to Arusha nationalpark being any better.
