Fantastic, can’t wait to organise my next tour through them. Everything was perfect
I had an absolute adventure in Uganda and Kenya! I love the outdoors and doing fun activities -So travelling to Uganda and Kenya was a perfect choice. Every time I arrived at my next accomodation or activity I was so grateful to the Matoke team. They were efficient, professional and really friendly.
Anna, from Matoke tours, did such an excellent job at organising everything, and when I arrived I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. She really did an exceptional job at organising a tour I’ll never forget.
Everything was way beyond my expectations. I stayed at Nile Porch in Jinja and went down the white water on a single tube - I’d definitely recommend it if you love white water rafting, but looking for something a bit different but just as much fun (if not more) than a blow up raft.
Nile porch was a beautiful place and had spacious safari tents with showers that overlooked the Nile, surrounded by monkeys jumping through the trees.
I also stayed at Mihingo Lodge and it was by far the most incredible place in terms of accomodation; it was something out of a dream, up on a huge rock, with an infinity-like pool overlooking the safari park, directly in front of a watering hole.. we saw a leopard one morning while we were eating breakfast. I went specifically to Mihingo lodge for the horse back safari - if you love riding, this safari is great. It was the best horse ride I’ve done on a holiday - I had the time of my life galloping through the safari park, riding next to the zebras and giraffes.
However the gorillas near Mutanda were by far my favourite part of my holiday.
We stayed at the mutanda lake resort and trekked through Mgahinga National Park.
We got so close to them! I actually couldn’t believe how close we were, I could almost touch them, it took my breath away. I saw gorillas nine in total, a big family - and they were really playful. My friend went to a different area in Uganda to see the gorillas, near Biwindi, but apparently they were hidden among the bamboo and they didn’t see any silverbacks. The area where I was booked is apparently the best place because there are more silverbacks in the family and the gorillas are out in the open a little bit more - I got to just sit right next to one :) this is a bucket list activity and worth every penny. The trek can be hard, and one older lady had to turn back because she couldn’t physically complete the hike. The trek can take between 4-9 hours and it’s thrlugh dense jungle. But it’s worht it and the trek itself was so much fun. Don’t wait to you’re too old to do the things you love!
We managed to squeeze in the Sabinyo mountain hike as well. It was really was an adventure climbing up those little stick ladders! I absolutely loved this hike - it was a real adrenaline rush because the ladders and bridges were made out of little sticks - so not for the faint hearted, but the view from the top was worth it and I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again.
Kenya was also great, we saw heaps of animals (the big 5 and so much more) in the Masai Mara, I even got a kiss from a giraffe.
We did the hot air ballooning over the Masai Mara - and while expensive, again it was a memory I won’t forget.
We also went to meet the Masai tribe and had some fun dancing and jumping with them.
Jimmy our driver also a special place in my heart forever, we got along really well, I loved him. We ended up meeting his family and had lunch with them on the last day :) he was such a genuine and lovely guy.
I can’t thank Anna and the Matoke team enough for all the work they put into organising my trip. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. I can’t wait to come back again to Uganda - and I look forward to organising my next African adventure with Matoke.

Amazing trip made seamless by amazing staff. Elias and Focus were brilliant.
Everything from the beginning was made easy. We were collected at the airport by our driver for the week Focus. Elias had made the whole booking and planning of the trip seamless. We saw everything we expected and more. The accommodations were out of this world. Can't thank Elias and Focus enough for making our Honeymoon, the trip of our lifetime.

The services and personal touch provided by Kenya Walking was outstanding.
Due to a serious medical matter in our family prior to travel, I had to make last minute changes. Kenya Walking were amazingly understanding, flexible and cooperative in assisting me. It has been a pleasure to know this company, their personal touch and kindness. It is refreshing to have associated with such genuine and nice people, from myself and family. I will be certainly recommending them to all my friends should they wish to travel to Kenya.

Amazing safari planned by Anna and guided by Ozzie from LionKing Adventures
My daughter and I just returned from an amazing 7 day safari that encompassed Tarangire National Park, Central and Northern Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and concluding at Lake Manyara Nation Park. Anna planned a detailed itinerary tailored to our expectations. Anna promptly answered our questions and guided us through the process.
Ozzie, our safari guide, was also exceptional! His keen ability to find animals was amazing! With his expert tracking ability, we experienced the Great Migration of wildebeests and zebras crossing the river in northern Serengeti.
I highly recommend Lion King Adventures!
