We had the most fantastic trip with Dallago, we went to Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara
Just a line to thank you for arranging our recent safari.The communication from the office was efficient, hotels and the vehicle was up to standard. Everything went as planned and we were able to have a most enjoyable time. Joshua, the driver/guide was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was also very experienced with a keen sense of humour. All in all it was a most pleasant experience and we thank you for all the preparatory work you put in.

Custom Safari Trip to Tanzania to view game and Uganda to view primates.
Matoke Tours exceeded all of our expectations from initial booking to after tour debriefing. Our service representative responded promptly to all of our questions, concerns and other communications. The accommodations they provided for us were exactly what we wanted, mid range in price but comfortable and more important, interesting. We mainly stayed in tent camps near the animals we wanted to see. All in all Matoke arranged a great tour for us.

Personable and Knowledgeable
I was duly impressed with both the friendliness and knowledge even back in Modest's early days as a guide. Uncanny ability to make you feel right at home and safe, even as you wander close to lions, water buffalo, and such. We've even remained friends over the years.

Amazing Experience
I was in Kirkmans Kamp Sabi Sands and Ngala Tented Camp in the Kruger National Park and the whole trip was perfectly organized and coordinated by Roho Ya Chui. I had a very good time, have met friendly People and see beautiful landscapes and wildlife.
I can only recommend Roho Ya Chui and would not hesitate to make my booking there again.

Great help! Great experience!
My son and I have spent a lot of time contacting several companies, and finally have chosen Altezza Travel. They replied fast and provided all details I needed. Their website is clear, nice, informative and have really useful tips for travelers who planning to go to Northern Tanzania. Based on our wishes, Altezza team constructed a 7 days Safari tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, arranged detailed program, all transfers, cosy accommodations, special brand new equipment, amazing guide and made our trip unforgettable!
The tour was well organised, combined several experiences and with a reasonable price. We especially liked Ngorongoro crater, where we saw the most animals and my dream - black rhino! The guide was knowledgeable, inspiring and with a good sense of humor. We fall in love with the nature, locals and the hospitality of the Altezza Travel company. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend your company to our friends! Our next plan is to do the Kilimanjaro climb with your team! See you next year!

Drove around Kampala and then to Kabale. Had best Experience ever.
These guys are real proffessionals in this industry. In their office in Najanankumbi- Kampala, all welcoming and giving info about the cars and best places to visit in Uganda.
They check the car with you before you take it and keep in touch all throughout your movements..
I do recommend these guys for car renting/services for all while in Uganda.

Amazing Matoke Tour
Deciding to use Matoke Tours was by far the best decision in my safari vacation. Anatole was our driver and guide during the 7-day tour through Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Always with a smile on his face and a deep concern for our comfort and positive experience, Anatole represented Matoke with excellence.

A well planned and well executed holiday experience
From the first planning months in advance to the final day, the Uniglobe safari was the picture of attention to detail. Every activity, every meal, every transfer was done with meticulous planning. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Ethnic Namibia-Cultural Experience 17 Days A WOW of a Trip:-)
Where to begin? Years ago the Himba people were pictured in a travel magazine and right then their lives peaked my interest. In 2014 three of us traveled to South Africa and of course, had a wonderful time. Upon returning I started to look for a way to get to Namibia since it was right next door to South Africa.
I came across Philip and Wild Wind Safaris on this Safari Bookings website then, of course, had to see what was written on Trip Advisor about his Safari Company. Upon emailing Philip and his rapid response our trip to Namibia was set in motion.
We returned just yesterday and are still unpacking, but have to share this marvelous experience with those who count on Trip Advisor like I do to find out the tour operators who are the best of the best.
We three did SO much that it would take many, many pages just to tell all so I will be a bit more brief and try to hit the highlights of the journey. First, Philip, he is witty, fun, informative, laid back, patient, knowledgeable, easy, a dear friend and so much more. He met us in Windhoek February 6, 2016 and then dropped us off February 22, 2016.
Highlights include: Sossuslei and Dead Vlei, and yes, we needed to climb Big Daddy sand dune on a day that the temperature was over 100 degrees F. We then traveled on to the next highlight of the Damara tribe's Living Museum.
Of course the visits to the Himbas was well worth it and we actually made two separate visits to two separate villages. Fascinating for sure. We also visited a school near the Epupa Falls which I loved since I am a retired teacher. So impressed with the students and the teachers.
We stayed two nights right next to the Epupa Falls and fell asleep each night to the sound of the water coursing over the falls.
Next up was Etosha National Park and the nature at its best. Philip took us for day drives and we took one night drive offered by the Park. During the night drive we saw at least 6 black rhinos and 3 male lions plus the usual assortment of the park animals.
The last of the major highlights was the visit to the Bushman tribe. It was so hot (around 100 again) but the Bushman put on quite a show for us. They were very comical and fun to watch.
The places we stayed, the food, the comradery, the green of the landscape (the rains had come and everything was vivid green), the desert in bloom, Philip and his stories, made for the perfect trip. It was SO wonderful that we three are planning another trip with Philip in 2017 to Zimbabwe and Botswana.
