Exceeded all expectations and a fantastic experience.
Excellent communication before the tour about the itinerary, accommodation etc. Liked the fact it could be tailor made and that Matoke Tours seemed to be completely flexible to fit in with what we wanted. All the accommodation was a good standard and liked that it was varied and in stunning locations. Mutanda lake resort was, in our opinion, outstanding for location, service, room and food. Excellent tour guide (Edwin) who was knowledgable, fun to be with and easy company. Although animals maybe not as abundant in Uganda as in other African locations, we were able to see everything we wanted except the ever elusive leopard, which we missed by 5 minutes! However, it was a great advantage to often be the only vehicle viewing the animals and there were never hordes of other tourists. This made the safari more special for us. Tracking chimpanzees and gorillas was an enormous extra bonus to the tour. The whole tour was very varied, and even travel days were fascinating, because it gave us a glimpse of how people lived, worked, different landscapes etc., which made it an excellent 12 days and it far exceeded our expectations. We would be happy to recommend Uganda and Matoke Tours to anyone thinking of visiting Africa.

Exellent
Matoke Tours is a fantastic tour company; they will do anything to offer you an unforgetable holiday to Uganda but as well to Rwanda. We had A great driver/guide (Anatoli) with a lot of knowledge of both countries.
We recommand strongly to book your safari holidays with Matoke Tours!!
Excellent trip
We went an a 3 week holiday to Uganda in 2013. It was absolutely amazing. A guide can make or break your holiday, our guide Richard absolutely made our holiday! He managed to solve problems before we knew they happened.
What a beautiful country and what a fantastic itinerary. We were lucky enough to see chimpanzees on both our tracks and later on actually play with them on Ngamba Island.
Uganda is expensive, but worth the money. The experience is one to never forget. I will travel again with Matoke this year, this time to Magadascar.

A beautiful trip in Uganda with Matoke tours
My wife and i had a perfect trip with Matoke Tours in Uganda. We have been in different country's in Africa before but we were very surprised about Uganda. Our guide and driver Frank is very proud of his country and showed us all the beautiful wildlife and perfect accommodations. He brought us in contact with the local people.
The trips to the chimps and the gorilla's were unforgettable.
We will be back in Uganda (with Matoke Tours and Frank)

Excellent holiday to Uganda
For years on top of our list, visiting the Gorillas in their natural habitat. But the only problem, we cant go on a trip longer than a week. Matoke tours perfectly understood our problem and made a custom holiday for us.
With just a few keywords, Chimps, Gorillas and Nagamba Island, they made a beautifull trip for us. Before we left we received all the information and our schedule for the week. On the airport our driver was waiting for us and took us to our overnight stay just 10 minutes from the airport.
A perfect trip with great accomodations, lovely staff and good food. The Chimp and Gorillas gives you goosebumps allover. A perfect gift on our daytrip to the gorillas we've met 2 groups of gorillas. It's incredible to be so cloose to this beautifull animals. Also we see lot's of other wildlife.
We had the most lovely time in Uganda and recommend everybody to go and see for themselfs.
Thanks to Matoke Tours a once in a lifetime journey.
Good
Went to Uganda with Matoke, 10 day tour. Wim provided many details during the planning of the trip regarding travel times (very difficult without local knowledge), camp and food accommodations, and activities. I was able to tailor the whole trip to my desires, and everything went beautifully. My guide was Musa, a long time guide, with lots of local insight to the culture, landscape, flora and fauna of Uganda. He clearly takes pride in being Ugandan, and travelling alone with him for 10 days was informative and always pleasurable. Our schedule included many long days, and Musa endured them all with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Matoke to anyone considering African travel, and would ask for Musa specifically if I return to the area.

Excellent
The experience lived up to our expectation, and Dan was informed and flexible to our needs. The accommodations were first class, food good, and we saw all the animals we had hoped to. The customized trip to a Water School project in Nebbi District went according to plan, and was a lot of fun.
The only criticism was that the original vehicle we were given had seat belts which didn't work.
Great safari with Matoke Tours
In February we made with Matoke Tours / Easy travel a 15 days trip to Northern Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was really fantastic! We have seen a lot of migration, many lions, cheetah’s, kills, birth of a zebra, black rhino’s and so much more.
Everything was perfectly organized. The accommodations and the pace at which we traveled were perfect.
Compliments for our guide Benedict. He discovered with his "eagle" eyes animals we barely could find with binoculars. A great guide and driver. He knew to steer the car always so that you had a perfect position for filming and photography. We had told him at the beginning we have been several times in Africa and knew a lot about the wildlife. That he picked up very well and gave us no standard but the more specific information, so we learned more.
All this means that we can look back on a great time.
Benedict, Matoke Tours and Easy Travel thank you for this wonderful experience!
