Perfect Uganda experience, couldn't wish for better!
In may 2015 we (mother and daughter) travelled together for 12 days through Uganda in a tour organized by Matoke tours. Our driver/guide picked us up at the airport and guided us through all national parks and destinations that 12 days. Perfect organization of the trip, very professional and helpful, very well equipped (jeep), always in time and our guide (Caleb, fluently English) was able to make any adaptations to the program when needed. Matoke Tours is able to set up a personal travel program, which was adjusted to our own preferences of travelling. Previously to our trip, our contact with Matoke Tours was easy and questions were answered in a few hours by email. Matoke Tours seems to know the accommodations in Uganda very well and knows the differences between and in the accommodations.
Matoke made our Tanzania trip a wonderful experience
Great advice. Quick service. We already had a good pre-experience with Matoke advice. And our Safari through the NP's of Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti only confirmed. Combined with a great stay at Zanzibars Stone town and beaches. Wonderful.

Incredible experience
We had such a wonderful time. We went on our honeymoon with a private driver/guide (Mike) through Uganda for a week and then chilled in Zanzibar for another 4 days. Everything was perfectly organised and the lodges (luxury version) were the nicest places we ever stayed in. Our guide took very good care of us and shortly briefed us at the end of every day so we knew what to wear and what to expect the next day.
This has been our best vacation in our lives as of yet. Uganda is very special due to the close proximity of different types of landscapes. We saw everything from chimps to elephants, zebra's, warthogs, gorilla's, crocodiles, hundreds of different types of incredible birds, many different species of Antelope, and on our last day on Zanzibar even humpback whales which was breathtaking. When in Zanzibar we recommend to also take an Island tour with one of the local people as you see and can do more and it is not as pricey to do with the lodge.
In Queen Elizabeth Natural Park we were not lucky enough to see any Lions or Leopards however we were only there for a 1,5 day and that gives us a good reason to go back.
All in all we highly recommend going on a tour with Matoke

Excellent trip around Uganda. Well organised and planned with great mid-range accomodation
Excellent trip. Really listened to our needs and produced an itinerary line with exactly what we wanted. Level of accommodation was excellent and the activities included were perfect. Gershom, our driver, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
A perfect trip and highly recommended.

so much more than we expected! professional, friendly and competent!
We had a wonderful vacation. Our luggage didn't arrive, and while Brussels Airlines and the Airport in Uganda were completely unhelpful, Matoke's Sven organized a driver who followed us with our suitecases through the country. This really saved our vacation. The drivers and guides were all superfriendly, flexible and helpful. From the beginning at home to the return everything was perfectly organized to really reasonable prizes. Would do it immediatly again with Matoke and can only recommend them. Bravo!

Very enthusiastic team, well organised
The team, guide & drivers, are very enthusiastic, helpfull and very good in their job. They help you with all your questions and do their utmost to fulfill your wishes. They drove safe and were superb in the safari's, which were excellent, we even went 2x a day, making the most out of it! Service is great, they also organised for our lost luggage to be sent up to Jinja, where we stayed at the time it was found. I can recommend them to organise your trip to Uganda !

Best trip of my life!
Matoke Tours are a great operator - I cannot recommend them enough. I had a fantastic 11 day custom trip with my girlfriend through Uganda and Rwanda. Our driver and guide was extremely knowledgable, helpful and friendly. It was the best holiday I have ever been on and I will never forget seeing the Mountain Gorillas. Murchison Falls National park was a highlight in Uganda - the scenery and wildlife was amazing. Matoke were very helpful prior to the tour - helping me to get the perfect itinerary and also on the ground. I will be using them again!
