More than just a tour
5/5

We felt so lucky to have discovered Alex of Amatsiko Tours, who curated our two weeks itinerary for Uganda. Our hope of gaining insights into community life and culture, in addition to the magnet of gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, was far exceeded with the experiences we had. Welcomed by many people in out of the way places, Alex’s connections with community are very evident. Our visit to Uganda was made very special by Amatsiko Tours - wonderful accommodation, a huge variety of activities including walking safaris, game drives, tribal and rural visits and more. We were treated like treasured family wherever we went. If it’s an authentic, immersive experience you want in Uganda, do contact Amatsiko and explore their many options.

Simply the Best
5/5

We spent 2 weeks travelling around Uganda with Amatsiko Tours (Alex) and we could not have wished for a better experience. The itinerary covered everything from visiting the gorillas, chimps game drives, visiting Communities and learning about Ugandan Culture.. all fascinating and educational. Alex took exceptional care of us.. I thoroughly recommend Amatsiko Tours to anyone who wants to experience Uganda

UNLIKE ANY OTHER TOUR
5/5

If you’re considering a trip to Uganda, stop searching. Amatsiko Tours is in a class entirely of its own.

From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with a level of care and professionalism that made the entire experience effortless. Airport pickup, beautiful accommodations, seamless transportation, and delicious meals. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. We were driven in a spotless, comfortable vehicle and never once had to worry about logistics. We could simply be present and absorb the experience.

But what truly sets Amatsiko apart is Alex and Alphonse.

They don’t just guide you. They invite you into the heart of Uganda. Their English is flawless, their knowledge is deep, and their pride in their country is evident in everything they share. Through them, we didn’t feel like tourists. We felt welcomed into a community that few get to experience.

We visited a school serving some of the most vulnerable children in the region. It was an experience that was deeply moving and impossible to forget. We traveled into a remote mountain village where Amatsiko is actively changing lives by helping families install water tanks and filtration systems so they no longer have to make exhausting daily treks for water, and supporting sustainable rabbit breeding programs to provide much-needed protein. These weren’t staged visits. They were real, human, and profoundly impactful.

At the same time, they showcased the breathtaking beauty of Uganda—the sweeping mountain landscapes, the warmth and joy of the people, and the richness of everyday life in a way that felt authentic and respectful.

And then, the pinnacle: the gorilla trek. A true once-in-a-lifetime experience, perfectly coordinated and executed without a single hitch.

What stays with us most, though, is Alex and Alphonse themselves. Their integrity, kindness, and passion elevate this from a “great trip” to something transformational. Meeting them, hearing their stories, and seeing the difference they are making in their communities is something that will stay with us forever.

This is not just a tour. It’s an experience that changes you.

If you have the opportunity to travel with Amatsiko, take it. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Uganda, a profound appreciation for its people, and a strong desire to return.

Wow, where to begin!!
5/5

Wow where to begin with this experience! First, let's say we were easily the most difficult clients they must have had, throwing them curve balls left and right. From missed flights, to missing baggage, to itinerary changes, plus the added challenge of us working on a film project while with them, Alex and Alfonse made us feel calm and easy in what otherwise would have been a very stressful situation. Even my phone broke while on the trip, and these guys kept me from having a panic attack while they got my phone repaired. But let's talk about the tours- with these guys, you're going to get the REAL REAL of Uganda. If you'd like to be surrounded by other tourists, this is not the company for you. Off the beaten path, we saw Uganda like no others do, yet we were happy and comfortable the whole time. Incredible experiences like gorilla tracking were even better because they gave us the best advice on how to prepare. Furthermore, the profit they make on the tours goes straight to educating rural children in Uganda at the school they founded, which we saw in person and enjoyed interacting with the kids. If you want a unique experience with the added benefit of supporting a cause, this is the company to use when you go to Uganda. In the end we were sad to say goodbye to Alex and Alphonse, our new but close friends, and we will be back to see them again!

An experience of a lifetime!
5/5

Amatsiko provided us with an experience that I will not soon forget. Their attention to detail and their sense of timing and professionally made our trip so much easier and so much more enjoyable. On top of that they’re good natured attitude only enabled us to have an even better time. I have dealt with tour groups and tour companies before, but I will say that none exceeded the experience I just had with this tour company. If you’re looking to have the same experience, I implore you to take advantage of their services! Thank you Amatsiko for making our trip safe, enjoyable, and exciting!
