A professional, attentive and knowledgeable company that helped us to have an incredible experience
Our family recently had the pleasure of going on a remarkable safari journey through Kenya and Rwanda, organized by Adventure Africa. From the outset, the experience was seamless and highly personalized. In the planning stages, Dickson was very responsive, catering to our interests and putting together an itinerary that turned out to be exciting and educational.
Our guides in both Kenya and Rwanda were exceptional. In Kenya, David was super friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable about Kenyan culture and local wildlife, and punctual. He answered all of our many questions, and drove us expertly across the country and through the Samburu and the Masai Mara parks. We saw an incredible array of amazing wildlife, including the big five. David also arranged, at our request, for us to visit several elementary schools along the way and a Masai village near Masai Mara, where we met locals and learned about their ways of life.
The experience in Rwanda added an enriching layer to our trip. Francis, an independent guide hired by Adventure Africa, was also awesome. His ability to weave stories and facts together created a vivid picture of life in Rwanda, making it a memorable part of our journey. We visited Volcano National Park, where we hired a guide and tracked Mountain Gorillas on one day, and chimpanzees on another. We went to a tea plantation, took a boat on Lake Kivu, and spent a few days in Kigali. David gave us a fascinating tour of the city, including the Genocide Memorial museum (a must), art galleries, the downtown shopping district, a local restaurant serving traditional food, cool coffee shops, and a women’s centre where we took a cooking class.
Overall, the accommodations and travel arrangements were excellent. The hotels and lodges that we chose with Dickson were wonderful. We felt well taken care of and immersed in authentic experiences.
I highly recommend Adventure Africa for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya and Rwanda. Their professionalism, passion, and personalized approach have left us with memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing experience with four days tour
They picked us from airport and next day, we started the four days tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We could see various animals including five stars. It was spectacular experience. Our stay in camp site was comfortable, we could use electricity and hot water.
The guides (Humphrey and Amos) were kind and flexible for our request and I enjoyed a lot.

Magical
We used Apodiformes to organize our 4 night 5 day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru. From the moment planning began Silas was responsive, communicative, and worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was considered. This was our first trip to Kenya so it was understandably nice to have peace of mind! I could not recommend Silas and his team more. If you have the opportunity to request Peter as your driver, I could not suggest this more! He is wonderful and you will leave being part of his family!

Great service, fantastic experience
Very smooth communication with Joseph to plan the 5 days of safari. Great flexibility on adding new activities progressively, and even help plan a beautiful proposal!
As for Peter, he was extremely knowledgeable, and an amazing guide in Maasai Mara, helping us spot plenty of animals in the best possible way.

Unforgettable experiences With MyTrip2Tanzania!!
We chose MyTrip2Tanzania and we were not disappointed. It was one of the most beautiful, authentic and incredible stays I've ever had. Philbert is the best guide by far, so don't hesitate to book with him: you'll never be disappointed. He will always suggest the best options and must-do excursions in northern Tanzania. In addition to the safari, he showed us natural pools, an amazing waterfall and coffee plantations. In short: an extraordinary trip with an attentive and interesting guide. Thanks a lot Philbert, we’ll miss you!
Indigo Safaris far exceeded my expectations.
As a first-time, solo, female traveler for a fly-in Tanzania safari, I could not have chosen a more professional and easy to work with travel agent. Ines Mooseman proved to be knowledgeable in all aspects of my trip, from securing a Tanzania eVisa, to light aircraft flights within the country, to detailed descriptions of the camps I would visit.
Ines also quickly responded to my questions regarding game drives/vehicles, dining and, in general, what I could expect at the Foxes' Rufiji River Camp in Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere Nat'l Park) and their Ruaha River Camp in Ruaha Nat'l Park. She also listened to what I had to say--something I consider vital in traveler-tour agent relationships.
Thanks to the efforts of Ines and Indigo Safaris, I'm determined to take another safari next year.

Matoke tours is the perfect Tour Operator, you can rely on them!
At the beginning of this year, 2023, we decided to travel in July to Uganda.
We wanted to go on an 11-day safari trip and then spend 11 days visiting friends of ours who have been active in social projects in Uganda for 20 years. Our friends recommended us Matoke Tours as a tour operator.
The planning process with Coen from Matoke Tours has been a lot of fun. Everything was discussed in detail, in a friendly and relaxed manner. With many recommendations, the tour was planned according to our wishes.
At the beginning of July we started. With Brussels Airlines from Brussels to Entebbe, transfer to the hotel and our guide Anatoli picked us up the next morning. Anatoly as a guide is a stroke of luck. He is very competent, he told us a lot about the country and its people. He is very friendly and helpful, he took care of everything and made our trip a unique experience. We especially liked his sense of humor. It was like traveling with a friend.
The entire trip was just wonderful. The nile springs, Murchison Falls NP, Kibale NP with great Chimp tracking, Queen Elisabeth NP with amazing Boat Trip on the Kasinga Channel. Lake Mutanda with Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi NP as a special experience. Transfer to our friends in Kisoro and at the end the transfer to the airport in Kigali/ Rwanda. Everything perfectly organized by Matoke Tours. The lodges were all very nice and very well tailored to our needs.
Summary:
Uganda is a very beautiful country with very friendly and lovely people.
The landscape is lush green and mostly hilly. There is so much to see, wildlife, colorful birds and beautiful butterflies and flowers...
July is a good time to travel
It is a very comfortable and safe travel.
Matoke Tours is the perfect tour operator. By the way I am not on their pay roll.
Next year we will probably travel to Uganda again, with even more time to support our friends' social projects.
I wish you a lot of fun in Uganda
