Awsome safari :)
We had an amazing tour, just for the two of us. Pick up was directly at the airport. Before, we discussed our time frame, what we liked to see/ do and what kind of accommodation we preferred.
We were accompanied by a guide and by Rada. The guide knew exactly where to go to see the wildlife, plus, we took a small Walk to the top of Murchison Falls - so impressive!! - and a boat tour on the Nile, permitting us to see some hippos and get another view on the falls. We had a morning and an evening game drive and the second day, after the game drive we had the chance to do rhino tracking on foot.
Afterwards we were taken back to Kampala.
Payment was done in advance, wasn’t so easy but worked out well.
The tour was not cheap, but worth the money
Thanks @RadaSafaris

Professional, responsive and verry dedicated to the clients and mission
We took a 8 days tour with two resting days at ViaVia Guesthouse in Entebbe one i the beginning and one in the end.
this was our first trip to East Africa and our experience of Ugandas nature and wildlife was fantastic, especially the nature in Biwindi was something extraordinary. Pleunie at Matoke Tours answered all our question before the trip and the comunication was so good. Even during the tour she was in contact with us and asked if everything was ok. She solved every question we had before we travelled so we where in a good mood when it started.
In Uganda we meet our driver/guide John a verry experient guide with 29 years in guiding. We also had a trainee Doris as his assistant.
Johns knowledge and his way to guide us about the nature and animals was so interesting and educating. He was always on time and had a verry good comunication with us. we are so happy that we got him as our main guide. We where also verry lucky to have Doris as a trainee on the trip as talked and teach us a lot about the culture and ordinary life in Uganda. She was also verry thoughtful and also always looking after us as clients. This combination of guides made the trip even more memorable.
During the trip we lived in different lodges and guesthouse. ViaVia Guesthouse beautiful garden a laidback atmosphere with a nice staff. The restaurant had good varity of different food. Next stop was Kibale Forest Camp. Verry nice accomondation but we had preferd more to chose from in the dinner menu and not just a 3 dishes menu. But we where offered hot sandwiches insteadso it worked out well. Also a beautiful garden. After that we lived at Bush Lodge. this was a i little more budget variant of living in a self contend tent with a shared bathroom some meters away. In the night we needed escort to walk due to the Hippos wandering around the tent. But it was totaly safe for us and had a beautifull view from the tent. Next stop was a verry nice lodge Enjojo. This place had it all. Good nature and a fantastic staff and verry nice restaurant and we could combine our own dinner menu. The manager always looked after the guests. Finaly we enden in Lake Matunda resort. another great enviroment and Lake Mutanda was nice to take a bath in.The cottage we lived in was verry nice, but the service was a little bit more confused due to verry young personel. We had no chance to to choose dinner other then the set menu and we should like to have more options.
Now to the exursions. All of them met and was beyond our expectations much due to John and Doris guiding. We see Leopards, Lions, hippos and Chimpanzees. The last tour was in Biwindi forrest to track the Gorillas and this was just amazing. We can higly recomend to book with Matoke Tours from start to end it was a perfect experience with a fantastic focus on the clients and Matoke is the obvious choise for us if we return to Uganda or another of there destinations.

Organised and on top of their work
Safari Update Travels have automatically become my go-to travel planners. They're organised, whatever they post, is what they provide and work to ensure their clients are comfortable.
I'm already looking for more trips with them. Totally worth it!

Incredible Family Safari
Our family recently used Fede Tours for our first safari. Our two children, aged 6 &7 came on the safari with us. Martin was so easy to work with and promptly answered any questions we had about the booking process and the overall trip prior to our arrival. A few days before we arrived we were informed a conference had booked at the original camp we were scheduled to go to. We could stay or go to another camp. Martin recommended a new camp and pointed out all the advantages of going to the other camp. He gave us such great information to make our decision. The day it was time to leave, Jeff promptly picked us up at our hotel and took us to our camp. Once we arrived we were so happy with his recommendation to change camps. The proximity of where we were to the animals was better and it saved on daily driving. Jeff was a phenomenal guide! Your guide makes your trip. Jeff’s love for what he is doing and wanting his clients to see the beauty of the animals is easily seen through all of his explanations and searching to find the animals. Each night at dinner other tables asked what we had seen and they were so sad they didn’t see as much as us. Jeff loves his job and seeing the animals as much as we did. He wanted to ensure we had a wonderful time and he exceeded every expectation and worked with us when we wanted to change our schedule. In addition, Jeff was so calm, patient, and understanding to working with kids and their diverse needs and challenges. Our experience with Fede tours is filled with praise and high recommendations to work with Martin and Jeff. You won’t be disappointed if you book with them. If you take children, I highly recommend visiting your camps gift shop to see if they have the animal guide pamphlet for the reserve. We bought this halfway through and our kids excitedly were searching, checking off animals they saw, and reading to us about the animal. I cannot wait to come back and work with this team again!

Customer oriented, reliable, experienced with a good network of drivers & accomodation possibilities
We, a group of 4, had a 19 day trip visiting places like Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison NP, Semliki, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo to just name a few highlights. Starting time in the morning was flexible and dependent on our personal preferences and requirements of the trip. We had just a few fixed dates e.g. the Chimps habituation and Gorilla tracking - some activities were decided at short notice, so dependent on availability of accomodation a quite flexible program even after starting the trip.
Driving in Uganda can be a challenge, but we always felt safe with our driver, even at rush hour in Kampala or on very rough roads in some parks.
Proposed accomodations of different price categories were chosen very carefully. The places were clean, quiet and perfect for relaxing.
In addition a good mix of friendliness and competentce made our vacation an unforgettable experience.
Thanks a lot - a clear recommendation.

Best time in Africa
We would like to recommend Bobby Tours to everyone, who provided us with premium service and the most wonderful time in Africa. We spent 9 beautiful days in Tanzania, during which we climbed Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route (10 members of the group out of 11 successfully climbed). The next day we spent on Safari in Tarangire. Our group of 11 men rate this trip as the best of their lives. I have to commend all the people at Bobby Tours - the driver Julius who knew everything about the Safari and explained everything about Tanzania to us very nicely; the guide Boni who knew every rock on KIlimanjaro and made us feel safe; all the porters (hello Simon and others); the cooks and last but not least the manager Kassim for his first class communication. Thanks to Bobby Tours we had a wonderful 9 days in Tanzania. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will certainly be back.
