A beautiful trip in Uganda with Matoke tours
My wife and i had a perfect trip with Matoke Tours in Uganda. We have been in different country's in Africa before but we were very surprised about Uganda. Our guide and driver Frank is very proud of his country and showed us all the beautiful wildlife and perfect accommodations. He brought us in contact with the local people.
The trips to the chimps and the gorilla's were unforgettable.
We will be back in Uganda (with Matoke Tours and Frank)
Excellent trip
We went an a 3 week holiday to Uganda in 2013. It was absolutely amazing. A guide can make or break your holiday, our guide Richard absolutely made our holiday! He managed to solve problems before we knew they happened.
What a beautiful country and what a fantastic itinerary. We were lucky enough to see chimpanzees on both our tracks and later on actually play with them on Ngamba Island.
Uganda is expensive, but worth the money. The experience is one to never forget. I will travel again with Matoke this year, this time to Magadascar.
personalised service and care
matoke was fantastic organising our trip for 7 family members. they tailored the whole package to cater for each individual's preferences and gave excellent advice when it came to accommodation and destinations. in particular, our driver/guide dan was amazing. his local knowledge and enthusiasm for his work made it a pleasure to have him accompany us on our trip.

Fantastic Africa experience
It's already been two months but still fresh in my memory. An unforgettable Africa experience; a 20-day group safari combining Uganda, Tanzania and Zanzibar. So much to see in basically little time, with the highlight for me the gorilla trekking. Information beforehand was abundant, the experienced safari guides - Sam in Uganda and Adrian in Tanzania - knew all the right places, accommodation and transportation were excellent. All in all a trip to never forget. Definitely going back for more, with Matoke Tours!

Well organised, helpful and friendly.
I contacted Matoke Tours who very quickly helped me organise a week of touring parts of Uganda. It was a wonderful experience. I feel that I had made full use of the time available. Our driver was extremely helpful and considerate and indeed good company. All in all, a great experience - thank you.

A very professional and serious organisation
In September 2014 we made the most amazing trip to Eest Africa. Our journey started in Rwanda, where we met our guide Frank. He would take us our first part of the adventure, visiting the Gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda.
We have done our share of travelling, but never we have met a guide with the social skills, way to solve a problem with a great sense of humor and making you feel at ease as Frank can.
He showed us some amazing scenery along the way. Although our main goal were the Gorillas,he managed to make time to visit a market, let us walk through a village or a nice part of nature.
And all the photo stops of scenery, birds and monkey's....
The 3 Gorilla Trackings were well organized, and Frank made sure we visited a good group. Stayed with us untill he was sure we were taken care of and was there when we came back.
We had beautiful sighings, every tracking was different. So, a big compliment to Matoke; it was very interesting to see the Gorillas in different habitats.
After this first part we went to Dar es Salaam for the Safari in the South of Tanzania.
Adrian was our guide who would take us through Selous, Mikumi, Ruaha and Udzungwa Mountains National Park.
A big and comfortabel safari truck provided us with lots of space and possibility to photograph and observe.
Although the amount of animals is probably not as abundant as in the north, the scenery in the south is spectacular. And when you find wildlife which is rare, threatened of just not easy to see, you feel the luckiest person alive!
Matoke made a very good program for us. They understood our wishes and made an itererary which was alternate. And it did not only work on paper, the actual trip was everything they said it would be.
They recommend excellent lodges and campsites, with experienced staff. The most beautifull locations, which you don't want to leave...
So, very good contacts before and good experience during the trip. Also a good follow up afterwards from Matoke, to find out if all went as expected.
In my opinion; a very professional and serious organisation.

Completely custumer focused and perfect service
We had a wonderfull safari trip to Murchinsonfalls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi Forest and Lake Mburo and at least to Jinja, after 8 weeks of volunteers work. Our guide was perfect en he pointed out the most beautiful things, animals, birds, bugs, trees and landscapes. It was unforgettable we would like to go back.
Thanks Matoke for this wonderful experience.

Our family trip to Uganda was amazing, the landscape is stunning and interesting.
Matoke tours provided our family with an amazing holiday. The trip was really good value for money, accommodation was fantastic, much better than we thought it would be, we stayed in one place surrounded by hippos grunting all night! Our driver for whole tour was so helpful and polite, he really went out of his way to make sure we saw all wildlife possible. Seeing Gorrillas in their natural dwindling habitat was a highlight we will never forget and also trekking through the forest with Chimpanzees. We saw so may different birds I lost count ,a birders paradise. The people of Uganda are very polite and friendly it is such an interesting country.

We found Matoke Tours to be excellent in organising the tour that suited us.
Our tour was exactly how we had hoped and more from the National Parks we visited to the fantastic accommodation that was organised by them and the overall service. We highly recommend Matoke Tours, you can't go wrong by using their services, just tell them what you would like and they will organise your tour accordingly.
