Chimp and gorilla tracking in Uganda
What an experience! Uganda is beautiful and we certainly had a great time! Our tour guide and driver, Musa, was knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and eager to tell us about his country. We were most satisfied with his guidance.
We will definitely return to the area probably to do something similar in Tanzania and the parts of Uganda that we missed out on.
I have recommended Matoke to many friends and hopefully they too can have the same experiences that we had. Thank you to Matoke tours for a well planned and run safari trip, the chimp and gorilla experience was phenomenal. The leopard crossing the road in front of our vehicle just outside of the Queen Elizabeth National park was an added bonus.

Very nice trip!
We had a lot of expectations about the trip (and all were fulfilled pretty nice) and about the accommodation but there were some troubles in two lodges, but Matoke Tours fixed them well.
We have a very good and professional guide and driver!

Excellent
We had a personal recommendation from a friend who had been on a tour last year. We were very impressed. Lovely accommodation choices and we had a great time.

Uganda 2014 - Matoke Tours
Fantastic trip - Everything was perfectly organised, the hotels were great! I ve got to say the driver was fantastic throughout - he really knew the places well and even when our plans changed (eg we decided to do another chimpanzee hike in kyambura gorge last min), he was happy to help us.
They paid attention to all the right details and made the trip one of the best we have ever been on!

Perfect organised safari in a wunderful Country
We booked a two weeks privat tour in Ugande with matoke. Because we have already made many Safaris in Africa, we had exact images like ours travel through Uganda should be. The communication and tips from Matoke while planning the holiday was great. Most of our wishes could be made by them. Special thanks to Anna Grodzki for good service, quick answers and always be there if we had another question.
Our driver/guide was Mussa. He was able to maneuver his Jeep trough the 'massage' roads and the wildlife in order to get us the best spots. He knows exactly the behavior of each animal, he gave us a very professional explanation and many information about live in Uganda. And ,not least, we had a lot of fun with him. Many thanks to Mussa, he did a great job! The accommodations we selected were all very good. The best of all Gorilla Safari Lodge at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Only in the hotel Birds Nest at Lake Bunyonyi we have something to complain about. Here we lost our booked room and got a bad room (smale sized without a balkony) because a big group was expected. So this hotel is not recommended for individual travelers. But Matoke also tried to solve this problem so that we could change the second day in a very nice room.
All in all we can recommend Matoke as a tour Operator.

Thanks for marvellous Experiences in a real pearl of Africa!
We went as a couple with our driver Mugabi as an individual tour. The communication and tipps from Matoke while planning the holiday was great. Most of our wishes could be made by them. It was our first tripp to Africa and we were a bit afraid to book with an african Travel Agency. But it all was so well organized and our guide managed all for us perfectly. So we can enjoy a spectacular holiday with so many fantastic and impressing moments. We saw all kind of wild animals so close to us. A real safari feeling!!! The accomodations had been placed inbetween with great jungle noises in the night, spectacular views and very nice stuff. Our highlight was the stay at Queen Elizabeth safari Lodge and Mihingo Lodge with outstanding nature experiences by car, boat, feet or only sitting and watching. Also the meeting with the gorillas at Bwindi NP we will never forget! Thank you Matoke Tours and Mugabi for this great holiday!!!!!!

Matoke Tours.. All just EXCELLENT
We made a private tour to Uganda with Matoke Tours. Two weeks in different lodges..
We found Matoke Tours on Internet and also from family who traveled with them last year..
The information in the website is very good and also by email. Good service, quick answers and always there if we had another question.. All the lodges were so special. We will never forget this..
And.. the day before we went to Uganda, Matoke called us if we were " ready for take-off" and to wish us a good trip.. Were do you find this personal service in " internet-times?".
If we go to Africa again, we call or email Matoke!!...
Thanks Matoke for making this trip so special for us.. Uganda has a special place in our harts (thanks to you too).

Good organized 13-day private safari
We enjoyed our stay in Uganda - thank you very much for the part you contributed to the experience.
With Albert Henry we had a very friendly and reliable driver and guide. Especially impressive his knowledge about birds.
The Gorilla Trekking was an absolute highlight but also the other places impressed with the variety of landscapes and wildlife.
The lodges and hotels you suggested / provided were mostly a good choice:
Especially to mention Mihingo and Kyaninga Lodge which were among the nicest places we have been in Africa.
The only a little disappointing place was Paraa Lodge where we missed privacy and atmosphere (to big with negative side effects - especially in high season).
