Best tour company in Uganda, would choose them again without hesitation!!
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Amatsiko Tours and would choose them over any other tour company without question. We were three American travelers on a custom tour, and Alex and Alphonso personally traveled with us the entire time. They have a beautiful mission and knowing that all of their profits support their school in Kibale makes the experience feel even more meaningful. They personally came to pick us up in Bwindi, spent two days touring around Queen Elizabeth National Park and then took us to Entebbe. Please reach out to them if you want a personalized tour even!!

Throughout the trip, they were professional, calm, and very communicative. We ran into a few unavoidable hiccups like road closures, but they explained everything clearly and always let us decide how we wanted to move forward. We never felt rushed or pressured at ANY point.

Their 4x4 safari vehicle with an open roof is absolutely perfect for safari and honestly the best safari car you could imagine. Thanks to their knowledge and timing, we saw lions, a leopard, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, and topi all in one day at Queen Elizabeth National Park, which felt unreal. They also arranged smooth transport all the way to Entebbe and directly to the airport, making the entire experience easy from start to finish. Their pricing is very fair for the level of care and quality you receive, and it feels good knowing that their tours support the school they founded.

This is a genuine review and we were not asked to write it. We hope to travel with them again someday and would love to visit their school as well, their mission is truly so beautiful!!!

The ones that will make your trip yo Uganda a real and authentic one... And with purpose.

We can say not only they were the best touroperators but also that they have become our friends.
We went with them to experience the truth about the communities in Lake Bunyonyi, also we experienced their project of beekeeping (an example of nature conservation, selfsustainability and helping others) and we visited their school, which is the main activity for what our profits will go, helping needy children learn, eat, feel loved and definitely... Smile.

Do not miss out!
5/5

I had the pleasure today of spending time with Amatsiko tours doing various activities around Lake Bunyoni. We started off going to the Arbiary and meeting the local Bees. I knew that I was going to be in good hands, by watching how founder Alex and his helper Robert treated the Bees. With patience and respect. It was incredible! And the best part was tasting pure, glorious honey from the hive! Then we moved to Chabahinga by boat to hike up to our next stop, The Herbalist. Meeting 75 year old Mzee Gad was like stepping back in time. His knowledge of the local plants is unsurpassed and he shared his knowledge with wit and a twinkle in his eye. We continued our climb to Mrs Anna's homestead where a cooking and craft class awaited us. All meals are prepared on coal fires and consist of mostly starches and vegetables. While our food was cooking we then had time to learn how to make what seemed to be a simple bangle! How they laughed at my clumsy fingers! Luckily Anna's son was deft and helped me finish. We then enjoyed the local food and ended our meal with another spoonful of delicious honey. This has been the highlight of my stay and cannot recommend it highly enough. Both Alex and Robert were super patient with me as I'm not the fittest hiker! Do experience this wonderful outing when you are at Lake Bunyoni, you will not be sorry.

Amazing Experience
5/5

Had an extremely great day at Lake Bunyonyi thanks to Amasiko. I appreciate that they go beyond regular tourist activities and work to connect you with locals and getting a real Ugandan experience. They were extremely welcoming and made the whole day very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

A road less traveled
5/5

My wife and I visited Uganda last year under the stewardship of a fledgling Amatsiko tours. We loved every second of our adventure. Amitsiko is run for the benefit of a school for orphans. Part of your time can be spent with the school and you will come out amazed at what they can do with so little attention. More traditional things like safaris and bird watching can also be done as well as trips to tribal villages. But the school is the heart of this enterprise and using Amatsiko tours you help it keep beating
