Robert Is the best!
Robert of karibu safaris in kenya thought of everything, he met us with safari program,wifi gadget and a mobile phone with a kenyan network just in case we had any problme we could reach him quick. Then he took us to a forex exchange so we could change money to the local currency, and led us in the safari van out of town to our first destination. I recommend him highly to anyone visiting kenya. My only regret is not spending enough time in this adventurous and friendly country we were on transit from Tanzania conference meeting heading back home.

Great safari experience
It was the people at Campofrio that made this trip so memorable. I dealt with the Nairobi office via email and had no trouble booking the trip I wanted and at a great value. My inquiries were always dealt with in a timely and friendly manner. The guide and driver were terrific!! We were often the first on the scene to view wildlife. More importantly they shared their knowledge and appreciation of the surroundings and imparted a sense of joy to the adventure. The accommodations were first rate. I would highly recommend Campofrio to anyone interested in going on a safari.

Perfect, dream vacation with all our African bucket list items!
Julia created the perfect African vacation experience for us. We just returned from a dream trip - from Cape Town highlights to a private game preserve for safaris to Zambia where we had the most amazing Victoria Falls experience! Julia listened to our hopes for the trip and produced an experience that far exceeded our expectations! This was our 4th trip to Africa, but the first time we used African Safari Company. They are head and shoulders above the rest.

Abundance of beauty with a fiew tourists
I would highly recommend Matoke to anyone who want to visit Uganda.Everything was great about this trip.We visited so many beautifull places in a confortable and reliable 4x4.The accomodations were first class and the food exellent.I have really appreciated the way Matoke is involved in a responsible tourism wich generate greater economic benefits for local people.During the three weeks of our trip i saw manytimes how Matoke is culturaly sensitive and encourages respect between tourist and host trying to build a local pride and confidence.I met a reliable team very proffessional with a lot of knowledge about wildlife.(Thanks Wim for your explanation about butterflies)Our guide Frank was very ponctual with a safe driving and a great sense oh humor.I had an unforgettable experience in Uganda.The amazing stillness of the lake Mutanda,the beauty of the gorillas,the incredible shower in Sippi Falls,the pure joy of the Karamajong songs,the sunset at the bushcamp by Lake Albert,the sweetness of the arabica and so many other things will stay in my heart.Thank you Uganda and Matoke.

Can't Wait Until My Next Safari
Kenya Walking Safari provides an excellent experience for an excellent price. I am definitely a fan and will recommend this company to others who are traveling to Nairobi and who want a safari. From the start, we received prompt replies to our requests and confirmations of our reservations. On safari, the driver was knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure we had a good time. Plus, we got a free massage! We ran into others who had paid hundreds more for their safari. I plan to return to try the gorilla trekking in Uganda.

Tanzania is so vast…beautiful
Enjoyed the vastness, peacefulness and diverse landscapes home to so many precious animals. The experience was enjoyable. The trip was efficiently put together within a couple of days and the advice on game parks to visit and overnight stops was helpful.

Safari 2 days Mikumi national park
Me and my three kids had a great tour to Mikumi from Dar es Salaam. We started 8am and entered the park 2pm. Our guideguide Henry was awesome and very professional. He had great knowledge about the wild life there and we spotted a lot of interesting animals except for the rhinoceros that not exists there. But we were lucky to see lions from only 2 meters distance. We spent the night in a very nice place called Tan Swiss Lodge. Felt really luxuary compared to the hotel we had in dar.
I will highly recommend Hello Tanzania, very professional and helpful. We had some problem with the payment because of me but everything worked out because of them :)

Happiness in Tanganyika
Having as many people taking care of us and all of them very polite helpful and respectful was an outstanding experience.
It was very much appreciated.
Never been so close to so many wild elephants or seen so many animals in the natural habitat on the safari quite a site, just great

An unforgettable experience in Uganda thanks to the professional team of Matoke Tours
Hello
During July 2014 we have done the 15-days Uganda Tour with Matoke Tours and we are deeply impressed about this well organized and interesting trip.
First of all the accommodation was 'on every place' excellent.
We had indeed a pleasant group, fantastic safe drivers (Alex and Mike) and Bella as our wonderful guide. Because of this wonderful team everyone of the group remained till the last day so excited and enthusiastic about Uganda.
The full tour with some great safaris had a lot to offer and we had at the Bwindi National Park an incredible trekking to the mountain gorillas. Not only the trip in the Kibale Forest, but also the trekking in the Kyambura Gorge was an unforgettable experience - we saw a large group of chimpanzees by Nelson our guide. From Mutanda Lake Resort we did also the Batwa Trail with our guide Bella and we can surely recommend you to consider this as an optional excursion.
Meanwhile I have published some movie parts (Ziwa Rhinos Sanctuary and Murchisson Falls NP) about our tremendous Uganda trip.
In below and attached you can find some of the YouTube-links (trailer from the movie and impressions of the Gorilla trekking)

If you are interested in the remaining parts (from the other fantastic destinations), it can be published later on.
For the moment, we have already a planned coming trip to South America (Boliva, Chili, Easter Island), but thinking at our next travel destination, definitely we will choose again for Matoke Tours (the providing tours to Tanzania and Madagascar).
Thanks again for the splendid services and we hope to meet again the Matoke team in the nearby future
Kind regards
