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

A great safari experience that surprised us all!!!!
5/5

We were very satisfied with our trip and highly recommend Amatsiko.

Why choose Amatsiko?
They organize your dream trip and at the same time take care of those in need in their communities. They have a big heart and a sense of mission.
"Amatsiko" means "hope" in the local language.

Alex and Alphonse are a great team. The whole trip runs safely and securely. They are very attentive and helpful. They take your wishes into account and can organize a real dream trip!!!

What touched me the most was meeting a family of wild gorillas in the mountains.
Well organized visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. As promised, we met all the exotic animals in the wild - from buffalo to lions.
Boat trip on beautiful Lake Bunyonyi!!
etc.

Visiting communities. Eating local homemade food in the village, which tasted wonderful. We had the opportunity to see local traditional songs and dances
It was heartwarming to meet the children of Amatsiko School and be a part of their day and see their bright eyes and wonderful smiles. It felt good to contribute to the school's activities and to know that part of the money from the safari trip would go to support children who have lost their parents.

Our time together was joyful and mutually educational!
5/5

Amatsiko Tours gives excellent service and is always responsive to questions as plans adapt to changing circumstances. They are knowledgeable and friendly, and all of their work gives back to their community, which adds value to everything they do.
