Fantastic Trip
I couldn't recommend Matoke Tours enough. We had a wonderful time with a friendly guide and a personalised itinerary. We had so much fun and saw a huge number of animals. It really was the perfect trip and exceeded both of our expectations. Thank you so much!

Absolutely outstanding in every way
Our experience was amazing we are a mature couple who have done quite a bit of travelling before although this was our first safari. The communications with Ilse beforehand to customise the trip for us were all timely and very helpful. We were collected promptly from our hotel and then guided expertly and knowledgably by Emanuel, first to Tarangire N.P., where we saw zebra, lions, elephants and more. The lodge was superb and the people and food were lovely. From there we went to Serengeti N. P., again with our wonderful guide who found crocodiles, a cheetah with her cubs, lions with their cubs and even 2 leopards, as well as many elephants, ostriches, buffaloes. We stayed in a lovely tented lodge right in the park where we were very well looked after. From there we went to Ngorongoro, another wonderful experience, where we saw a rhino in the distance and some hippos up close. Our final stop was Lake Manyara, a smaller park on the way back to Arusha. I cannot recommend Matoke Tours and East Travel, their partner in Tanzania, highly enough. Everything went very smoothly and all the accommodation and food was excellent. The trip far surpassed our expectations and we will certainly go with them again. Thank you so much, Matoke Tours.

The best trip we ever made
The trip was very well organized. Our driver/guide was taking very good care of us, showing us the best spots, communicating with rangers and other guides to make every safari succesfull (we saw a leopard in Queen Elizabeth National Park which is really difficult!!). We had a lot to see and do in our 12 days tour and we are glad for ervery minute. In the mid time of our trip Matoke even called to ask if there is anything else they could do for us. Before our trip started we hoped to see the wildlife, especially the gorillas, but the reality was even better.

Unforgettable
The way Matoke handled the organization of our trip was very professional and they showed a flexibility that shows a true customer focus.
Our guide/driver Dunn was exeptional. He educated us about the history of the country, the wildlife and current developments. He made us feel completely safe and realized all of the small additional wishes.
I'd travell with Matoke again!

One of the best trips I've had!
Although we decided to visit Uganda on a last minute basis, the trip worked out very well. Matoke Tours helped us make up for the last minute arrangements and bookings. We greatly enjoyed visiting the chimps (Kibale Forest), gorillas (Mutamba area), swimming and canoeing at lake Mutamba, and meeting so many friendly people along the way! I wouldn't recommend Queen Elizabeth Park (QEP) to anyone who has done a game drive in Tanzania or Kenya, as the wildlife in QEP is minimal and the savannah is quite bare.
I would recommend Matoke 100%! Make sure to rent one of their comfortable shuttles or 4x4 cars and enjoy the journey!

Fantastic trip - brilliantly organised by Matoke
We had an absolutely great trip to Uganda with Matoke. Edwin was a fantastic guide and driver. Both the gorillas and Lake Bunyonyi were absolute highlights of our visit to Uganda and we’re already looking for an excuse for our next visit!
Many thanks for your assistance with planning and organising the various aspects.

My dream trip come true !!
Everyone involved with Matoke Tours was very friendly and helpful.
I chose the trip that included seeing the gorillas three times over the span of 9 or 10 days..... in Rwanda, Congo and Uganda. I could not have had a better time. The gorillas were up close and personal, to a degree. They did not touch us, but they were fun to watch esp. the babies. I highly recommend this trip if you are a gorilla fan. Also the accommodations and meals were very interesting.

An excellent experience
The staff were incredibly helpful, responsive and accommodating whilst booking the trip from Australia. Once we arrived everything ran smoothly and on time, we did the one day gorilla tour in Uganda which was incredible however a very tough and long hike so be prepared. It was an experience of a lifetime and would highly redommwnd

From my first contact with Ilse they were incredible.
The accommodation at Flame tree village in Kigali and our stay at Lake Mutanda . One of the most beautiful places on earth. The whole experience far excelled expectations. The staff were easy to contact to take care of a few problems in connections. It all went like clockwork . I had researched this trip 5 weeks in Africa for 18 months and Matoke was by far the best value. It was an experience of a life time. If I was to do it again they would be my first call.
