“Apart from being such a kind and humble person, Gerald is a genius!

With his magic oven, he cooks incredible, inventive and delicious soups, meats in sauce, salted pies and breads, desserts…

We will remember forever his crumble pie, chocolate pie and the each morning different flavour pancakes!!

He makes gold from the inner difficulties of safari conditions, and as he is passionate and curious and receives travelers from all around the world, his own cook takes advantage of several horizons, which is a treasure!
He is always open to talk about it, and share his unexpected tricks! It has been an honor to meet him, because he does cook with the heart, and like an art.
Céline Mauge, Paris, France”

“En plus d’être une si belle et humble personne, Gerald est un génie!

Avec son four magique, il cuisine des incroyables, inventifs et délicieux plats: soupes rafinées, grâce à l’usage subtil et original des herbes et épices, viandes en sauces idem, pains, tartes et cakes salés, desserts…

Nous n’oublieront jamais son crumble, sa tarte au chocolat, et, au petit déjeuner, les crêpes parfumées différemment chaque jour et le pain perdu!!

Il fait de l’or gustatif des difficultés inhérente aux conditions Safari, et, passionné et curieux, recevant des voyageurs du monde entier, sa propre cuisine bénéficie des enrichissements de nombreux horizons, un trésor!
Gerald est toujours ouvert à en parler, et partager ses étonnants trucs! Ce fut un honneur de le rencontrer, parce qu’il cuisine avec le coeur, et en fait une recherche et un art de saveurs.
Céline Mauge, Paris, France”

“Each morning started with an excellent breakfast, followed by a yummy lunch and what should I tell you about the dinners! Everything in a way you would aspect at a five-star resort in the Caribbean but not in the bush in the heat of Central Africa. It´was amazing what Gerald created each day in the middle of nowhere. Best I would have urged him to come home with me.”

Thomas Richardson, USA

“Northern Tanzania is amazing. It´s a lifetime experience. Gerald added a lot to make it a very special trip I´ll never forget. We were lucky to have him as our cook and companion. Food is delicious and after hours of cooking in the heat he still took time to join us. He gave us so many insights of Africa. We had serious talks about the continent, the different ways of life’s. And we had so much to laugh!”

Christian Mann, Austria

“To be honest: When I planned my Safari my only fear was that I would get sick from the local food. I brought so many instant food with me. Even bread in the can! But it was not worth the effort! Thanks to Gerald. We met a lot of other people who had troubles. We never. Gerald knows how to prepare everything. And his meals are very thoughtful. We were amazed day by day.”
Riccardo Marco, Italy

“I always wanted to see the African wildlife close and camp in the savanna under the sky. Gerald helped us to plan the trip. We had Game drives in the National Parks, saw the Big Five and hiked Ngorongoro Crater Area, the Great Rift Valley escarpment to Lake Natron with local Massai as guides. Gerald was always with us. So we had not to worry about anything. Thanks a lot!”

Takeshi Hisaishi, Japan

In January 07 we attended a 5 day safari trip camping in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Gerald Ulomi was cooking for us and furthermore assisted the driver with guiding. We highly enjoyed the trip and will never forget spending New Year on the crater rim. Regarding wildlife we got to see the big five and A LOT more: in our case this safari beats Kruger by far.

During the 5 days we enjoyed really nice and varied meals; incredible regarding the facilities! At some point another group was actually complaining to their chef, when they saw, what we were served…

Even though it was pouring with rain a lot of the time, Gerald managed to keep up the good spirit and creates a nice and homely atmosphere during the trip. With Gerald’s English skills, his good sense of humour and not least his knowledge about wildlife and Africa in general; you’re guarantied fun and interesting conversation.

We can highly recommend attending safari with Gerald.

(The same text but in Danish

I January 07 deltog vi i en 5 dages compaingsafari i Lake Manyara, Serengeti or Ngorongoro, Gerald Ulomi lavede mad til os, or herudover assisterede han guiden. Vi nØd turen I fulde drag, or det var urforglemmelight at tilbringe nytarsaften pa kanten of Nrorongoro. For vores vedkommende indeholdt denne safari langt rigere dyreliv, end tilfældet var på en lignende tur I Kruger et par måneder tidligere.

Måltiderne var gode or varierede, hvilket er utrolight kØkkenfaciliteterne taget I betragtning ( ingen el, 30 cm2 bordplades etc) På et tidspunkt brokkede en anden grppe sig faktisk til deres kok, da de så, hvad vi fik serveret…

Selvon det regnede kraftigt, formåede Gerald at holde humØret hØjt og skabe en god or hyggelig stemming hele turen igenmen. Gerald taler glimrende engelsk, og med hans humor samt ikke mindst vide nom dyreliv or Afrika generelt, er der mulighed for interessante samtaler.

Vi kan I hØj grad anbefale at tage på safari med Gerald.

Mvh, Casper Lundemark Christensen & Ulla Rassmussen, Kbh. V.
