Matoke Tours

A complete, well organised, varieted three week group trip, incl. gorilla's!

Had the best time in Uganda! Nice Dutch group, Dutch tour guide, good organisation and a variation of interesting places to see. Wildlife, culture, nature and a combination of tented camps and more luxery lodges. Uganda is a stunning country that definitely deserves her name 'Pearl of Africa'!

We recommend matoke to uganda visitors. uncomplicated communication. Our individual wishes came true

Everything was perfect.
We enjoyed the tour with Gershom very much.
He is a very good guide and driver, told us a lot about the country and its inhabitants.

We were very lucky to see many animals, even lions! Bush lodge was great.

Lake Bunyonyi is a big treasure. Best - not only for relaxing on our last two days.

We will recommand you to our friends.
Thanks a lot!

Great experience, great driver

Matoke Tours was friendly and helpful from the booking until the good-bye from the driver weeks later. Everything worked out well, although there was a little confusion about the Gorilla permits on the first day. Other than that everything was perfectly organised. The tour itself was amazing, which was also due to the beautiful scenery that Uganda has to offer. I would go with Matoke again if I had more time in Uganda. Value for money is awesome and the customer service is very good as well. Thank you.

Extremely professional company,outstanding service on private tour itineray, very client minded team

Three weeks ago we have been travelling for the second time in Uganda (period 10/2011 & 02/2014) with our preferred Matoke tours travel agent due to their professional knowledge , assistance and cooperation . Each time , one of their selected private driver/guide such as Big Sam or Alfred contributed to great memories being taken home to Belgium, every detailed travelling program has been completed without any negative experiences , unexpected events , any disturbances or any claims during or after our tour. Matoke team members in The Netherlands (Holland) and Kampala do contribute spontaneously on free upgrading advises in order to satisfy their clients the upmost towards the final itinerary , the revised quotations in order to prepare and proposing the printed order . To us , Matoke tours has a variety of opportunities of which you can choose the preferred accommodations as budget , medium upgrade or very luxury stays. Another flexible advantage , you are able to select your flights yourselves or they take care of the flights both ways . We are thinking already to contact the Matoke tours office once again with regard to future plans on safari tours in Tanzania , focus on south parks such as Selous +Mikuti + Ruaha and afterwards relaxing on the coast site as an extended beach accommodation for a few days. Outstanding job guys keep the good work going on and once again many thanks for your contribution on preparing a very detailed and outlined daily program within estimated travelling times and agreed financial budget .
Their 4WD vehicles are very well maintained and each driver/guide is very safety minded on the roads without taking any risks , he does show an outstanding responsibility attitude every day , we love them so much ......thanks to you guys as well.

A great Africa experience!

Everything was arranged according to the schedule. The personal attention towards us was perfect. Our driver/guide was Richard Tumusiime. He was able to maneuver his Jeep trough the 'massage' roads and the wildlife in order to get us the best spots. He knows exactly the behavior of each animal, he gave us a very professional explanation. He took good care of us...
Many thanks to Matoke Tours, especially to Richard, he did a great job!

As always perfect organized

After three previous tours with Matoke to Uganda/Rwanda/South Tanzania this time to North Tanzania. This private tour started in Arusha and then to Serengeti for 5 nights, 1 night at Lake Manyara and back to Arusha. The tent camps and lodge where perfect located. Transport was very luxurious for only the two of us and we had a very good driver/guide who spotted a lot of animals. After being on safari many times before this tour is one of the most memorable. In the past we started mostly before breakfast and went back to the lodge for breakfast and did the end of the day another safari. This tour had most of the days a complete day safari so we spend the maximum time in spotting animals.

It was a wonderfull holliday with a lot of new experiences. I do not complain about anything.

I think our group had the best guide of Matoketours,Martin. He is very kind and could answer almost all our questions concerning the way how people do survive in Uganda, the agriculture, there culture etc. The lodges were also very good and the working people there were very kind and polite, distinguished and nice.
Thanks again for offering me and also every one who likes to learn other cultures this way of travelling! I'd want to have next year the same expierience of Tanzania!

Thanks. Liliane.

Great driver, fantastic arrangements. No complaints at all!

Great trip to Uganda

We had a fantastic trip to Uganda with Matoke (Murchison Falls,Queen Elizabeth national park,Kibale forest,...) Our guide Sam did a great job. The lodges were beautifull and our
best experience was to be close to the gorillas ! Thank you Matoke!

An amazing souvenir!

The trip to Zanzibar & Tanzania with Matoke Tours was absolutely great! A very special and varied program. From the lovely beaches of Zanzibar, the authentic Stone Town, the villages in rural in Tanzania to the amazing safari plains.

The selected lodges were all very atmospheric, super clean and located at the most beautiful spots. Also, the food was excellent during the trip. And last but not the least: Service. This was more than great! All the transfers were arranged accordingly too.

Our tour leader Laurence was of great class! He understood the behaviour of all animals. Therefore he was able to manoeuvre the Extended Landcruiser through the wildlife & other jeeps in order to get the best spot for us!! He searched for the Big Five, and found it. Furthermore did he introduce us to lions eating their prey, leopards relaxing in the tree, cheetah’s hunting for impala’s, hyena’s & giraffes. Overall, he showed us too much to specify all amazing moments.

While other guides were informing their clients that the migrating wildebeests had already left the area, Laurence was able to trace down a group that stayed behind. This way we were able to catch a glimpse of the migration! Laurence really went the extra mile, and if that meant that we would arrive an hour late at the lodge because we wanted to take that extra shot of the hippo or to see more game, this was not an issue for him at all. He knew exactly how to position the safari vehicle in order to get the perfect angle for all our pictures. A perfect souvenir of this unique trip!

A big thanks to Matoke Tours! Well done!
