Great experience
Our first trip to Uganda turned out to be a wonderful experience thanks to the very good organisation through Matoke Tours. We saw them all, Shoebill, lions, leopards, buffalos, mountain gorillas, chimps, and, and, and. Our driver Richard was, beside being a very skilful and experienced driver, a walking dictionary when it came to questions about fauna and flora, about history, politics and culture regarding this wonderful country. He knew it all. A good choice of lodges and a very professional planning and organisation makes us looking forward to going back to Uganda for another exciting trip. Still lots to discover !

8 day luxury safari
A safari which will live long in the memory. Chimps at Kibale were great - suggest you pay extra for habituation walk. need to start early at Swamp Walk (9a.m.) if you are to get to QENP for game drive. Saw tree climbing lions at Ishsha and gorillas at Bwindi were wonderful with one even visiting us at our verandah in Bwindi Lodge!. Over 70 bird species seen in total. Accommodation first class. Driver could have been a bit more enthusiastic but he was very careful and safe on the roads and 4WD vehicle very comfortable for two. Expensive but worth it!

Lions and Gorillas
We booked the "comfort" tour with Matoke anti was great. This was the 5 day package with 2 nights in QE park and 2 at Lake Mutanda for the Gorillas. We lucked out by seeing lions, elephants, and even a leopard at QE and the gorilla trekking was excellent (except for all the selfie's taken.) Our driver David J was superb. He helped us spot 50 species of bird and handled the amazingly bad roads with confidence and comfort. The travel between sites was long and tiring (even just riding). My advice is to schedule 7 days, stay an extra night in QE Park and another one at Lake Mutanda which is exceptionally beautiful. It would make the travel in between that much more valuable. Also, go for the upgrade to the 4 land cruiser.
All in all, though seeing Uganda at bit is very much part of the interest. Matoke was professional and confident.

Perfectly organized 8-day trip through Uganda
We were able to enjoy our 8 day trip through Uganda completely and could relax, since everything was perfectly organized. All accommodations were great. Our driver fulfilled all our wishes and convinced by safe and comfortable driving. Thanks to very friendly and informative communication with the office in advance of our tour, we could arrange our perfect trip. We never had any problems and could enjoy the wonderful country Uganda, the Chimpanzees and Gorillas.

Amazing
I just have a lot of praise for Matoke Tours.
A very smooth and friendly treatment of my questions.
Once in Africa it has surpassed all my expectations.
I've had the trip of my dreams. Short, but perfect.
All credit goes to Caleb, my guide. He was an incredibly good guide and perfectly managed to show me everything that was possible.
I am a very satisfied customer and I'll definitely be back.
Best regards and thank you for the realization of my dream.

Friendly people which do what they promised
The safari in Kidepo was a great experience, tremendous vast scenery, absolutely no mass tourism

Stress free travel
Motoke tours took care of all the details of our trip which made it a surprise for me too (since normally I organise the trips). Little things that were organised which you would not know to do yourself (dinner under the stars) made it truly special. When I sent my itinerary requests to other companies they couldn't do them but Motoke tours managed to. Our driver (Alfred) went above and beyond and was lovely to have on our trip with us.
I highly recommend this company.

We were SO lucky in seeing all the animals, and we appreciate your bookings of nice combinations of lodges, fantastic driver and guide, Caleb, our new friend. And really good food.
Nice guides / rangers.
