Exceeded all of our expectations :)
after doing a lot of safari tours all over tanzania, i am pretty sure that Ernest from Chabo Africa Advebture is by far the most skilled and sociable safari guide that i have seen.
his routes were very well thought out and his skills for spotting animals were unbelievable. with his good contacts and connections, he was always keeping track wirh all the animals that have been spotted in the park, which granted us a couple of chances to experience stuff which is definitely not included in the average safari tour ;)
the downside could have been that he insisted on picking us up a bit too early.. which tirned out to be just fine :D
its definitely worth travelling to iringa just to go on a safari with him :D

Highly Recommend Speke Uganda
The tour we chose with Speke Uganda was way and above our expectations. Our main objective was to see the gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda and thankfully we decided to combine with a fantastic roadtrip across Uganda. Our Guide, Paul, and our driver, Charles, contributed to making this trip unforgettable. We felt safe, cared for and very welcome. Paul's knowledge of both Uganda and Rwanda is outstanding. He had genuine answers for every little thing we wanted to know. Even the customer relations by Daphne and Tony in the office were outstanding. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups, disasters or problems...apart from not seeing a single lion the whole trip! Cant blame Speke for that though, comes down to mother nature. We had a great tour and got on well with the other 3 members of our tour. All the lodges we stayed in were fantastic as well. Cannot fault this trip. It may have been a little more comfy if our vehicle had been some kind of land cruiser rather than a van with a pop up roof but it did the job and I cant really complain. If you are thinking of booking Speke.....just do it, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful 6 week camping safari in the Northern Parks (Arusha, Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Tarangire)
Have regularly travelled with Sunny over 18 years. Now choose mostly Special (i.e. Private) campsites so have a real 24 hour a day Africa experience, just us and Driver (Hamisi) and Cook (Julius). Hamisi, who drove us last year too, is hard working, flexible and has excellent wildlife knowledge. We encountered more rain during the safari than usual but he negotiated some tricky road conditions with ease, and even bought us an umbrella!
Excellent views of Wildebeest migration, also massed zebras around Naabi Gate, and over 270 species of birds, our special interest.
Julius baked bread in a tin box over the campfire and prepared a variety of meals during our long safari, including kebabs and fresh fish from Lake Victoria cooked on a metal grill over the fire.
Our tents, camp beds, chairs etc were all very comfortable. Very happy with Sunny Safaris, would always use them.

We had the most fantastic trip with Dallago, we went to Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara
Just a line to thank you for arranging our recent safari.The communication from the office was efficient, hotels and the vehicle was up to standard. Everything went as planned and we were able to have a most enjoyable time. Joshua, the driver/guide was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was also very experienced with a keen sense of humour. All in all it was a most pleasant experience and we thank you for all the preparatory work you put in.

Custom Safari Trip to Tanzania to view game and Uganda to view primates.
Matoke Tours exceeded all of our expectations from initial booking to after tour debriefing. Our service representative responded promptly to all of our questions, concerns and other communications. The accommodations they provided for us were exactly what we wanted, mid range in price but comfortable and more important, interesting. We mainly stayed in tent camps near the animals we wanted to see. All in all Matoke arranged a great tour for us.

Personable and Knowledgeable
I was duly impressed with both the friendliness and knowledge even back in Modest's early days as a guide. Uncanny ability to make you feel right at home and safe, even as you wander close to lions, water buffalo, and such. We've even remained friends over the years.

Amazing Experience
I was in Kirkmans Kamp Sabi Sands and Ngala Tented Camp in the Kruger National Park and the whole trip was perfectly organized and coordinated by Roho Ya Chui. I had a very good time, have met friendly People and see beautiful landscapes and wildlife.
I can only recommend Roho Ya Chui and would not hesitate to make my booking there again.

Great help! Great experience!
My son and I have spent a lot of time contacting several companies, and finally have chosen Altezza Travel. They replied fast and provided all details I needed. Their website is clear, nice, informative and have really useful tips for travelers who planning to go to Northern Tanzania. Based on our wishes, Altezza team constructed a 7 days Safari tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, arranged detailed program, all transfers, cosy accommodations, special brand new equipment, amazing guide and made our trip unforgettable!
The tour was well organised, combined several experiences and with a reasonable price. We especially liked Ngorongoro crater, where we saw the most animals and my dream - black rhino! The guide was knowledgeable, inspiring and with a good sense of humor. We fall in love with the nature, locals and the hospitality of the Altezza Travel company. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend your company to our friends! Our next plan is to do the Kilimanjaro climb with your team! See you next year!

Drove around Kampala and then to Kabale. Had best Experience ever.
These guys are real proffessionals in this industry. In their office in Najanankumbi- Kampala, all welcoming and giving info about the cars and best places to visit in Uganda.
They check the car with you before you take it and keep in touch all throughout your movements..
I do recommend these guys for car renting/services for all while in Uganda.

Amazing Matoke Tour
Deciding to use Matoke Tours was by far the best decision in my safari vacation. Anatole was our driver and guide during the 7-day tour through Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Always with a smile on his face and a deep concern for our comfort and positive experience, Anatole represented Matoke with excellence.
