Christmas in Uganda with Matoke
One of the most wonderful trips of my life made seamless with Matoke. My husband and I did a 9-day 'mid-range' tour with gorilla and chimpanzee tracking. All of the accommodations were lovely, with the highlight being the Lake Matunda Lodge - a truly magical place (though, I have so many great memories from the entire trip - beautiful lodges, close encounters with hippos and elephants, meeting incredible people). Our guide and driver was very friendly and was happy to expound upon any of our inquiries (but, generally quiet otherwise). He had over a decade of experience with national parks and tourism, and freely shared his life experience and wisdom as well. I spent 2 months in Africa and never felt 'at risk' (save for a rhino incident in Zim) - and my time in Uganda was no exception. It is liberating to have a driver who knows the roads (some of which cannot be traversed without a professional!!), food options, local culture etc. so one can freely enjoy everything without worry. Admittedly I had a moment of panic after wiring Matoke a large chunk of money, but it's legit :) Also, I have done a few other tours before, and occasionally they aren't quite honest about what you get (drive time, experiences)...but Matoke was 100%. Lastly, Uganda is doing a really great job with conservation and protection of the mountain gorillas within its borders...this is absolutely the place to experience an encounter with a silver back (and babies!), and with confidence the rangers prioritize the welfare of the animals. Other asides - being a vegetarian is not a problem, and if you get car sick...bring a remedy. I absolutely love Uganda and cannot wait to return!!

Amazing Safari experience at Kruger with superp safari vehicle and fantastic guides
Everything went very smoothly from the booking on. Chris answered all our questions before the safari promptly and friendly so that we already had a good feeling before we started.
Chris and Nicky then picked us up at 7am on the first day of the safari to drive to Kruger with us. It takes a few hours to get there, we then switched vehicles right near the Kruger entrance and had lunch at a lodge of friends of Chris and Nicki. The food during the safari was superb! Chris is able to cook perfect meals on a campfire, also very versatile (e.g. Curry, Gnocchi, steak). The food really exceeded our expectations by far.
The safari vehicle is also amazing. Great view and hight to see everything around you, tables, fridges, electricity, a coffee maching - all on board. It feels like a living room :)
We saw all of the big five during the 5 days and Chris and Nicki are very knowledgeable about all the wild animals. You can ask them anything and if they can´t answer straightaway they´ll make sure to look it up for you in the large amount of wild life books they have with them.
2 binoculars are also on the truck, I would recommend to bring own ones as well if you´re in a bigger group because there´s just so much to see.
The accomadations Chris booked for us (we booked the midrange packet) were also great. I did a Safari before in Tanzania and for the same budget we got a much higher standard at Kruger. The safari tents are superb, I even liked them better than the bungalows.
We can recommend that safari really to anyone, Nicki and Chris are really lovely people to spend a safari with and we would book it again any time.

Great price, Great Safari!
We booked a last minute (about 1 day prior to departure) Safari with Kenya Walking Survivors Safari and it was fantastic! They were super fast to respond to our emails, they arranged transportation for us, our tour guide was very knowledgeable (he didn't laugh at any of our silly questions) and our cook was amazing. The price was very reasonable, better than anything else we saw online but it was perfect! Highly recommended.
what more could you ask for?!
What can I say?....if you're reading this in contemplation of going away with Sunway...all I can say is stop contemplating, and book!!
I did the Rainbow Route with 9 others plus our guides Wayne and Mosses
The organisation is fantastic- Wayne and Mosses are true masters in co-ordinating our tour, taking us to stunning places, providing outstanding food, knowing so so much about the wildlife/areas/people we saw (quite incredible)....and being such vibrant characters- they were duly held on a pedalstal by the end of the trip :)
The accommodation was brilliant- very characterful places, often boutique-style. The vast majority was great for cleanliness and facilities, but please remember the places are c. 3 star, some slightly more basic....if you want 5star, this isn't the tour for you.
If you want to embrace adventure, where there are no guarantees (to coin a phrase from the guides!) ...you'll love this trip!

" A Memorable Vacation!"
We started by sending inquiry emails to 4 travel companies. In less than half an hour we received an immediate and comprehensive response from Kenneth.....this is how we chose Kikwetu Cultural Adventures. Their reliability and approach ability just warmed our hearts. When we contacted Kenneth we had a timeline,on a budget and a general idea of where we wanted to go but no specifics. He did an outstanding,superb,wonderful job to say the least and with the short notice, he provided us with a lovely coastal package, to cut a long story short, we had an amazing holiday in Malindi.
I highly recommend Kikwetu Cultural Adventures! It is a first rate, extremely knowledgeable and customer service oriented travel company!
