Custom trip that included so many beautiful experiences in Uganda in 5 days
My wife and I wanted to plan a custom 5 day safari focusing on gorilla tracking and the Virunga volcanoes, starting and ending in Kigali. We reached out to Matoke and Madeleine was responsive, patient and knowledgeable in helping to create the perfect itinerary from several options. She and the Matoke team generally excelled with pre- and post-trip communications.
Our guide for the safari, Big Sam, was super nice. We relied on him mostly as a driver since we were staying at lodges and doing locally-guided activities arranged by our lodge or through the park system. We were so happy that he was such a safe and responsible driver! Our vehicle (a Land Cruiser) was great too, with no issues on the dirt roads off from Kisoro.
Oh... and the trip/safari were AMAZING!! Uganda is such a beautiful country and our experience was so special. It was even more special than we thought it could be. Some highlights: (1) getting so close to the gorillas (we tracked the Nkuringo group, one of 1 groups from the Nkuringo gate), (2) all the kids waving at us from the sides of the road, (3) the football pitch on a hilltop in Nkuringo, which we discovered through our lodge in Nkuringo (Clouds), (4) the Mt. Gahinga Lodge area, which is in the shadow of 3 Virunga volcanoes and was absolutely stunning, maybe the most beautiful place on earth (4) climbing/hiking Sabinyo (thankfully the weather was perfect for us), (5) the Kisozi caldera walk, and (6) all the nice and smiling people we met, including the Batwa in the forest in Nkuringo. We loved our trip and we loved Uganda!!!!

Great Safari experience!
I did 3 days Wildlife Safari Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro with Safari Bando and really had a great experience. My safari coordinator, guide all were professional, courteous and helpful. My safari guide Reg was very knowledgeable and kept me informed about local customs, traditions, wildlife, habitat and animal behavior. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and would highly recommend Safari Bando for Safari excursions.

The whole operation was well organized from A to Z. No any isseu met before and during the trip.
I selected this company among others because I had a warm and comprehensive communication before my decision being made. Their responses is very quick and all answers were satisfied. During the tour, our driver/ guider gave us an excellent overall feeling by its safe driving manner, its rich knowledge about animals and its humor sense

Daily Expeditions Limited is really amazing...They had arranged everything needed even though it was on a short notice. From the time we began our booking inquiry, the customer service of this company was outstanding. Mr Frank was very responsive, helpful man and insightful about what to expect, what to bring, where we were going and he assured us that we would enjoy our trip.He even shared the full schedule with us before we started our safari, and surely he covered the best scenery ever...Absolutely loved our experience with "Daily Expeditions Limited “Highly Recommended!

They take care of us from the time we land at Kilamenjaro to when they wave goodby -unbelievable
From the first conversation with Bernard for the trip planning to the last animal sighting with our guide Isack, It Started in Africa Tours made this trip, "The Trip of a Lifetime". The game drives, Bush camps, Lodges, cultural tours and knowledge of the animals and the land, nothing could have been better. Food was great, service in all of the camps was wonderful. I would recommend It Started In Africa to anyone who is looking for a Safari experience that will be talked about for years to come.
