Thank you Matoke Tours!
Our 9 day Matoke tour safari travelling from Entebbe to Kigali was fantastic. We can say without reservation that from our initial contact by email with tour consultant Pleunie van Uden to our arrival at our final destination in Kigali everything went very well. We in particular wish to emphasize how much we appreciated our guide Vincent. Vincent was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and all the animals, plants and birds. He was so professional and kind and an excellent driver. He seemed to know everyone at all the parks and camps we visited and everyone seem to know and respect him. The accommodations were all first rate. Our hands down favourite was Kasenyi Safari Camp located on Lake Bunyampaka right on the border of Queen Elizabeth Park. Our host Mr. Phillip Kiboneka was welcoming and knowledgeable and the staff made us feel so at home. The views from the luxurious tents and the lovely open air main lodge are panoramic. We will treasure forever our time with the gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the wonderful porters that made it possible. Thank you Matoke Tours!

Trip of a lifetime! Exceeded expectations.
This was the first safari trip we had done - first trip to Uganda and encounter helped us experience the beautify of the country in a responsible way. The pre-travel communications with Patrick were always detailed and contained a useful packing list / guides to the country and etiquette - and also noted that their guides could help us find responsible charitable organisations if we wanted to bring over books / children's clothes etc. Once landing in Uganda, our guide Ambrose immediately made sure our journey was exceptional - whether that was accounting for our poor timekeeping to keep us on time or going out of his way to help us learn more about local communities / other topics we expressed an interest in. I would definitely recommend Ambrose as a guide, we missed him once we left!
Other things: all of the lodges were excellent with great views. We were asked about our dietary requirements in advance and it was easy to choose vegetarian options. The van was clean and spacious and had a full conversion to safari roof what we could both stand up in - which is more than we could say for some other cars we saw in the parks

Very good tour with the big five!
Mwajabu is very kind, professional and available to solve all the issues that you may have.
The safara was amazing despite the driver wasn't always as professional as the agency
We saw the big 5 and it's the only important thing :)

We had a great time with Wild Planet safari. The guides and their helpers were just awesome. We highly recommend them and looking forward to meet them again on our next adventure.

Great experiences with lots of memories.
We had plenty of questions before we even started with this safari tour and got a lot of help in advance as it was our first safari. The itinerary was extremely well organised by Wild Planet Safari. They followed closely the described schedule. We did not miss anything and were very satisfied with all the different kind of animals we spotted. We had comfortable resorts and enjoyed the self prepared cooking and even got the "ordered" red wine for dinner. As well we had very interesting conversations with our guide, not only about wild animals but also about South Africa, their people and politics, etc..

Best Honeymoon Experience Ever!
Everything about this company is 5 star! Ben helped us to craft the perfect itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and experience on our honeymoon. He was patient and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. From the moment we arrived in the airport, everything was taken care of with unbelievable service and the best accommodations we've ever had while traveling. We saw everything we wanted to and more thanks to our safari driver, David, who is a VERY experienced driver within the parks. David took the time to point out things we never would have spotted and provided a great deal of information to us.
The second half of our honeymoon was in Zanzibar and was just as special as the safari. E-Trip Africa really went above and beyond for us and we will be booking with them again on any future trips! Best tour company we have ever used!

Masai Mara
The team were great and very helpful. The guide Maxwell was great. We also met a local en route to Masai Mara called Samson, an ex park ranger who had some amazing stories to share. All in all I would definitely recommend Okoa!

Everything was perfectly organized.
Twiga Travel is a great place to stay to explore the region. The room was fully equipped (coffee maker, kettle, TV). The hosts Jurgens and Elize organized everything for us, including Safaris, Panorama tour and even restaurant reservations and transfers, so we get the maximum out of our 48 hours there.

Fabulous Trip!
We absolutely loved our trip with Okoa Africa Tours! Our tour guide was great, the camp was nicer than we expected, and the Maasai Village was a really nice touch to finish off the trip.
