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

I loved every bit about my trip. My husband and i enjoyed so much and the transfers were smooth without any details. Our stay at the hotels was very good and everything was well planned and organised.

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!

It was a great, thrilling and unsual experience
Wildlife was amazing. It was great we went to two different areas of the Kruger as we did not see the same animals in both.
As above, the scenery was also different in both areas so we did not get bored of seeing the same scenery for four days. The southern area of the park was more open and therefore more beautiful than the Thornybush area.
The weather was perfect. Not too warm during the day, and not cool early in the morning nor in the evenings. Even though it was mostly cloudy, this helped avoid the sun/shade contrast which makes taking good pictures somewhat more complicated.
Food was excellent everywhere, as was the service during meals.
Transportation during the safaris was perfect, and the guides were knowledgeable and helpful.

Great experience, knowledgeable guides, lots too see!
I was lucky enough to have Ruan and Federica as my guides which turned into friends. Their knowledge of wildlife is top notch as is their enthusiasm to make the trip special. I got to see plenty of wildlife and experience lots of different things. I can honestly say this is one of the best trips I have ever done. Highly recommended.
