5/5

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!
5/5

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!

A personal, friendly and experienced tour operator specialized in Uganda
5/5

My trip to Uganda was great! Fantastic country and travel experience. We stayed in hotels and they were good. Matoke Tours arranged all transportation and that was comfortable. A professional car driver and tour guide showed us all the highlights of Uganda and explained a lot about the country. They knew where to go for dinner and special places to visit. Food is not impressive in Uganda, but good enough. I was impressed by Queen Elizabeth national park. Great wildlife and nature. But the other parks were beautiful as well. I can recommend to visit Uganda. Friendly people, beautiful nature and great weather. A great Africa experience!

Amazing Private Safari, Beautiful Country & a Very Nice Driver
5/5

I've been to Uganda before & fell in love with the country, it's people & nature. I wanted to experience this with my girlfriend so Matoke Tours adviced us to go to Kidepo Valley ( North Uganda ). A hell of a ride, however, what you see & experience along the road is amazing. The north of Uganda is not yet touristic so you get the best Africa experience value for your money. The scenery is beautifull and you won't find a lot of other tourists in the Parc. The accommodation is this parc is basic but perfect.
After Kidepo, we went to Murchison Falls ( 6 hrs drive ) and stayed at Nile Safari Lodge. If you are a romantic person, check it out! Small, personal, nice staff & a beautifull view over Murchison.
Matoke tours did it for me again!
Thanks again.
Ps. Our driver was Sam and i recommend him

Matoke Tours does deliver what they promise. Their personal attention towards customers is very good.
The respond quick on your questions and during the safari everything was arranged according to the schedule. Also good in price! Ask for Nicole at Matoke, she did a great job.

4/5

The service was good, everything was pretty much as promised, but I would have expected a more intensive activity during the day (more/longer game drives). I would use them again, but you you make very clear in advance what activity will be provided as a minimum.
