Unforgettable Uganda and excellent tour guides
Our journey through Uganda was a revelation. What an incredibly diverse and beautiful country! From the endless green landscapes and misty forests to the vibrant villages and warm-hearted people — Uganda touched us deeply.
The wildlife was, of course, breathtaking: meeting the mountain gorillas and chimpanzees was an absolute highlight. But what surprised me most was the abundance of smaller life — the countless colourful birds, butterflies, and tiny creatures that make this country so alive. As someone with a special love for birds, I was truly amazed by what we saw each day.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to our two driver-guides, Geoffrey and Edwin. Geoffrey’s knowledge of birds and nature was simply outstanding — he spotted species I would never have noticed without him. Edwin, too, shared his impressive understanding of the country, its landscapes and wildlife, and added a calm warmth that made every drive a pleasure. Together they showed us not only Uganda’s extraordinary nature, but also the soul of its people.
Uganda is rightly called “The Pearl of Africa.” Its beauty, diversity, and kindness make it one of the most memorable destinations we’ve ever visited — an experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

The eight weeks could not be better
We prepared the 8 weeks trip to Madagascar together with Matoke based on our wishes (16/9 – 10/11/25). First, we travelled 5 weeks south of Tana, in self drive mode, and afterwards 3 weeks, with driver, in the North. Matoke proposed places to stay which, after checking, were confirmed. Together we fixed the excursions and dynamics. We have travelled all our life in Africa, South America, Nepal, often linked to our work in these regions, but Matoke set the bar with our Madagascar trip so high, that our standards for the future travels will be at the top. We will most probably travel again with Matoke and we are curious if they can still put the bar higher, but if they keep up with Madagascar, they will have again very satisfied clients. In 8 weeks in a country like Madagascar (which is so beautiful and where the people’s smile is like a drug) we did not have the slightest inconvenience, something that we think is statistically impossible, but Matoke made it work. ‘Chapeau’, they say in French.

Exceeding expectations every day again!
We booked a six day safari in Tanzania, followed by a week in Zanzibar for our family of four (two kids, 16 and 12), and everything was just perfect. From the assistance in planning and booking, with agents that really knew what they were talking about and what would fit our wishes, to the perfect planning and beautiful places and hotels we went, every day again we were just impressed and extremely happy with the trip. Some examples, they really helped us to pick the right destinations for the safari, the perfect calm and private location on Zanzibar, and we had a permanent online travel agent to support us if we had any questions. The logistics were flawless and the hotels and lodges jawdroppingly beatiful. A special shout out to our guide, Daniel, from Easy Travel (part of Matoke), who was extremely kind, expert, got us to the perfect spots for animal spotting, and was also very kind and relaxed and great with the kids (Daniel, Baboom!). Having such a really great guide is really important as you spend a lot of time together and as you really depend on him.
In short: totally recommended on every level!!
