PATRICK ATIMA

Patrick Atima

GUIDE – UGANDA

Some Background

Date of Birth -10th September 1989

Patrick was born in Arua in the north west of Uganda.  He attended primary school at Tara Primary School in Arua from 1997 to 2003. Later he moved to Kampala for high school from 2004 to 2007 attending Blue Nile Secondary School. In 2008 he joined Wild Frontiers as a river guide based at Murchison Falls on the river Nile.  He showed good aptitude and was a hard worker and was promoted to Boat Captain and attained his internationally recognized Power Boat certification in 2012.

With some years experience on the river, including fishing safaris Patrick decided to broaden his experience further and was offered a position as a Trainee Safari Guide which included driving and being responsible for guests traveling by road in safari vehicles.  Patrick’s certification in 4×4 driving driving (high/low range and defensive) was completed in 2014.  He also completed the first level of professional guiding certification from Uganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA).

Patrick is currently based mainly up country near the Bwindi area and hosts many of the clients flying into this area for gorilla trekking as well as visiting the plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Patrick is outgoing with a good sense of humor and when he’s not working hard taking care of guests he enjoys brushing up on his birding, reading books and watching movies.

    • Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding.  In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall.  He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well.  He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour.  We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

    • I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

    • We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
      We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.

      Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.

      Sincerely
      Ed and Elizabeth Griffith

    • Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much!  I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.

      Thanks so much!

    • It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

    • Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂

      Best regards,
