very good trip. I would recommend it for friends
It was a very good experience. We had a wonderful time at the park. Our guide was Fanuel, he was a very good guy. He gave us many information as we on our way to the park. Also, he helped us with anything we asked or we wanted. The car was good for two people. He showed us all the animals we supposed to see.

Most Amazing Tour
There was never a decline in communication, your employees are top-notch when it comes to their services and most importantly, the trip turned out exactly as i had planned. The Safari tour was the most amazing experience I've been on, been to Kenya a couple of times but never got the time to pursue it. That said, everything about my experience was truly amazing.

Excellent service and a fantastic experience in Uganda
Matoke tours and Madeliene our travel Consultant provided us with excellent service during the entire booking process. She was proactive and proposed a better alternative than the one we initially asked for. I really recomend to fly in to Kigali and drive thru the country to Uganda and Lake Mutanda.
The gorilla trekking in Uganda was a fantastic experience and a memory for Life. The hotel and the location at lake mutandan was really great, even better than I expected. The Gorilla tracking itself was very exciting. We was also very well taken care of by our driver from Matoke Tours the entire trip. We also had time to spend a few hours in Kigali Before our flight back which I really recomend,
I have worked more than 20 years in the travel industry with both Groups and events and individual travel and this was a first class experience. Thank you!

Trip of a lifetime!!
My spouse and I stayed at a camp in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Our primary guide was Knowledge. The accommodations were luxurious and the meals were fantastic. But most of all the demeanor attitude and understanding that Knowledge and his team had of the area the animals the culture and the country was amazing.
We took a walking Safari and saw lots of wildlife including baboons, warthogs, elephants and hippos. We traveled about in canoe like boats called mokoros.
We camped out overnight on an island. During the night we heard a lion walk through our camp. I was very scared. But then we heard Knowledge calling out to his other guides and then we knew it was all going to be OK. In the morning, they showed us the lion foot prints so close to our tents.
Knowledge and his guides took us to the small village where their wives and families lived while they were at work. We were given a tour and he explained how the huts were made. We were very warmly received by the families. They laid out all of their wares for us to purchase and sang songs to entertain us. I was quite touched by how open and welcoming the people Of Botswana were.
I highly recommend Knowledge and his team and would travel again with them for sure!

One of those lifetime trips which kept our priorities and budget in mind.
We have just returned from the most amazing travel adventure through Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa, including a gorilla trek and safari, all of which was organized by Chris and team.
This area of travel was new to us, nor are we experienced travellers, and we had a specific budget to be met. We gave Chris a very long list of things and places we wanted to see and do. Somehow he found a way to meet and exceed every expectation.
From the day we left to the moment we arrived home, it was like someone was always there to ensure we were at the right spot, at the right time. The accommodations, the transfers, and the people were incredible.
Thank you so much for the advice and guiding our trip in such a way to achieve what we wanted and understanding our priorities. It was definitely memorable for all the right reasons.
Now.... if only Chris could do something about the snow we came home to!

Such an unforgettable journey
Overall it was a satisfying journey. About the price, I cant say it is quite good but acceptable.
We started preparing for the trip a year ago, we planned to go to both Kenya and Zanzibar. It was not always easy to find Alex, but we confirmed the itinerary on time anyway. We discussed the itinerary together and Alex and Dennis did give us some useful suggestions.
About hotels: They helped booking all the hotels we asked for even the hotels in Zanzibar, really appreciate that. Also booked the balloon safari which is such a great experience. The bush dinner was not as good as we expected.
About game drive: The views were fantastic (except the tones of dust on the way). The animals we've found and met were so adorable and beautiful. Only there's something we didn't expect to happen. We met Dennis and Joseph at the airport when we arrived. Joseph is very nice and full of experience. But just the day we need to move to Masai mara, we waited hours at the hotel and then were told that there's some problems with his vehicle so we had to change our game driver. The new driver is Peter, he also has many experience but not the way like Joseph, we didn't have enough time to get used to his way. This is a bit regrettable, or we might have an almost perfect journey.

Amazing Experience All Around
Our experience with safari bookings was fantastic!! 8 of us in our group all had a once in a lifetime trip on the 3day safari. I booked everything through Jimmy who basically became our travel agent for any and everything we needed arranged! He had rides for us to and from airports and hostel suggestions for the days prior and after the safari. Everything ran smooth and on time and was professional and higher than our expectations! The food prepared by our chefs on the safari were a pleasant surprise too we really enjoyed it even though that was something we were worried about! The camping arrangements were top notch as well! Camping one night in the central Serengeti and another night on the rim of the ngororongo crater - we were in awe! The tents and sleeping bags were cozy as well, although you may want to bring a pillowcase and stuff some clothes in it to use as a pillow! During the safari I think we saw just about every animal we could think of - it was as if we’d name an animal we wanted to see next and out of nowhere boom it was right in front of us. There were 8 of us total in our group and not a single one of us has anything negative to say about this experience. A great deal budget camping for a safari and an overall fantastic experience! DO IT!
