Super friendly, an expert about the history of his country, the culture and the animals
Hi there at Matoke Tours,
we did a Uganda safari with Matoke Tours, starting from August 09th to August 21st.
Our driver has been Agabe Trevor.
What we have to say .... such an amzing experience, we never exptected in our wildest dreams. :-)
We saw everything that we could imagine and much more. Super friendly people, amazing landscapes and
a cornucopia of wild animals. From Zebras, Hyenas to the Leopard. This leaves us almost speachless.
Plus Agabe Trevor as our driver. So kind, with a lot of knowledge about the country, the tribes, the animals,
everything we asked him. He made the 4000km we drove a great adventure we will never forget.
Whenever we needed his help, he managed that, combined with a great sense of humor.
Of course we will share the experience we did with our friends and via Instagram with our commnunities.
Hopefully more and more people. will visit Uganda and get aware of this hidden gem in the middle of Africa.
All the best from Germany

Perfect option for a budget experience in Masai Mara
Strongly suggested if you are looking for a budget experience to enjoy the park at his best!
We went for the three days game-drive and the tour met the expectative. Kalifa, our driver and guide is certainly very expert and has a lot of contacts also with other rangers inside the park which is key in order to find the most interesting animals in the park. We saw lions (from veeery close) cheetahs, one leopard and a lot of elephants, giraffs and many other animals.
The accomodation was a simply tent camp but the tent are quite nice well equipped with a bathroom inside that was actually way more clean and nice that we expected. The staff was very kind
Despite some small problems (in any case part of the adventure), for instance we had some issue with the car (like a flat tire), I would strongly suggest to choose this agency if you are looking for a good experience at Masai Mara for a cheap price!

Excellent
We decided to book our tour through Spirit of Kenya based on the manner Tiago the journey designer communicated with me. He was very prompt with his responses and always positive.
When some of the hotels of our choice weren’t available he was very quick in suggesting others and with our consent, getting them confirmed overnight.
I had a very good first impression of our tour guide Raphael, with whom we spent the next eleven days.
He was courteous,obliging, calm and always in good spirits.
He was determined to show us the big five which we did, elephants in Amboseli,Rhinos in Nakuru and lions,leopards and buffaloes in Masai Mara. He made stops whenever we wanted to admire the scenery and gave me ample time to take pictures.
Our visit to a Masai village (which was in close proximity to our camp) and getting acquainted with their culture and lifestyle was a unique experience and one of the highlights of our trip.
Honestly, as this was my first visit to Kenya I wasn’t sure what to expect or how it would turn out, but I must say that with excellent planning and service offered by Spirit of Kenya and the staff at the camps/cottages we stayed at, our trip exceeded my expectations on every level!

Never a problem
The first thing to note about our Twiga Tour in Kenya is that there was never any problem, from the time I first contacted them through the website to the time we left Nairobi happy.
Any experienced traveller will tell you that is nearly impossible but the organisation of the itinerary, payments and additional activities through Mukami was without a hitch and the implementation of the tour with our guide, George, was seamless.
Any questions - about the tours, the parks, the animals and even Kenya's history or politics! - had answers and most questions were anticipated.
According to our itinerary, our final day we were to be dropped at the airport in Nairobi to fly out but we needed to stay overnight before a very early flight the next morning but Twiga organised the hotel drop as well as a pick up to go to the airport.
The experience of the Kenyan national parks stands for itself but the excellent properties we stayed at and the guidance and assistance from Twiga ensured that this was a lovely trip even aside from the marvellous animals.
I initially booked with Twiga for our first safari tour because my sister, a travel agency operator in Australia for more than 30 years, who herself had been eight times to Kenya, said they were the best - now I've been with them, I wouldn't try anyone else!

Terrible terrible roads- ruins the experience
My first time visiting the park - The facilities are run down - the roads are disgusting- even the toughest 4x4 is gonna need attention after visiting etosha - I camped there and have to say its expensive - the wildlife is amazing but I definitely won't b back. Etosha is totally overated- other parks like kgalagadi or kruger national park have more to offer
