Great experience

My 3 days long safari in Murchison Falls was really great! The activities were balanced out perfectly with a short hike to see the waterfalls, game drives, a boat tour on the Nile, and the rhino tracking, which was my favorite! For me the strenght of safari was being able to see a lot of animals and stunning nature without having to be in the car all the time. The accommodations were super nice: confortable, clean and in beautiful locations. I highly recommend choosing Gatsio Safari as not only is it good value for money but you will also get a great service. Our guide Adams brought a lot of energy and created a good atmosphere in the group while Nickson managed my reservation answering all my questions, and supporting me with my requests, last but not least, he's also a very good hang. No reasons not to choose them!

Outstanding service from start to finish

I’m so grateful that Gatsio Safariz was able to accommodate my last-minute request to join a group safari to Murchison Falls National Park. The experience was simply unforgettable, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing—every detail was well taken care of by Gatsio Safariz. I highly recommend this tour operator, especially for solo travelers looking to join a group tour, even at the last minute!

The best operator in Uganda!

He helped us a lot to buy our permits to see the gorillas. He's our angel :)

Professional, organised, perfect trip to Murchison Falls!!

An unforgettable, amazing safari experience is just as much about the organisers as it is the animals. The team at Gatsio were next level brilliant. Flawless - from beginning to end. I felt so looked after by Benjamin during the planning stages of my trip. He genuinely cares, listens to what you'd like to have planned and then dedicates himself tirelessly to making sure all your needs are met. Communication was absolutely impeccable. The 3 days I spent alongside Vianne on my Murchison Falls trip were just incredible. I could've talked to him all day. Such a warm, personable and knowledgeable guide. I learnt so much. Loved every second of my trip. It is seriously impossible to go wrong with Gatsio Safariz.
