Good communication, caring staff, quality tour
This was a very fun tour. Did a city tour of Kigali, went chimp trekking, gorilla trekking, and a few other things. It was a great experience and the guides were very caring and accommodating. Shout out to our driver Franchis for making all the long drives and getting us everywhere safely. We stuck to the itinerary for the majority of the time and everything went smoothly. My favorite hotel was Virunga Hotel Musanze. I had a great time on this tour!

Thank you to the amazing Matoke team for a wonderful holiday! Ilse and Pleunie helped us plan an incredible two-week trip in Uganda. The Matoke staff is absolutely wonderful - they are incredibly knowledgable and were quick to answer any questions we had. We had a wonderful guide, Confidence, who we really enjoyed traveling with. We can't wait to book our next trip with Matoke Tours!

The best land operator I have ever met. the arrangement & high quality cares exceeding expectations
Melanie -Pembury Tour Pic as the best land travel adviser & organizer I have ever met, very attentive to our needs & expectations, then providing a perfect itinerary & travel arrangements.
Their flexibility & timely manners on quotation stage were very much appreciated.
All important guidances & information duly given to us before the departure, it removed all worries from us.
High quality cares before-during-after the travel made our Holiday in Africa very comfortable & luxury.
The holiday to Africa has become not only splendid safari & cape town visit but also excellent travel arrangements + services & cares greatly exceeding my expectation.

Once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend.
Evelyn and George (a local husband and wife team) made booking so easy and catered to everything we wanted from our trip. We booked a private tour (which i would highly recommend if your budget allows) and in comparison to other companies, was only a bit more expensive than grouped tours! We got airport pick up/drop off which was a bonus plus an extra night at the Arusha hotel so we could have a look around the town. They also came to see us at the hotel before we left on Safari to explain everything in person and also visited us on our return to check everything was ok, which i wasn't expecting. Great customer Service!
Our guide Hoza was AMAZING!! He has 10 years experience under his belt and has a relaxed, calm manner that i really enjoyed. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he always made sure we were ok...even if that means chasing a rather large Hyena out of camp, or stopping a cheeky monkey from trying to steal our lunch! Hoza has the best knowledge! He could answer every question, tell us every species of bird or antelope etc. He would pull books out so we could read up about what we had just seen and each night after dinner he would sit with us and chat about what we had seen that day. He was very patient with us constantly stopping to take photos and on the last day he managed to spot, adult male lions which was something i really wanted to see. Having him as our guide was a privilege and made the trip even more special.
We stayed in lodges, basic camping and tented camping, which i would recommend to get an all-round experience. Although basic camping will not be for everyone, as it is not the best night's sleep you'll ever have, but it is worth it to hear Serengeti come to life at night.
We got to see the big 5, a Leopard eating it's kill, a Cheetah and her cubs, Lions mating..I could go on! But the highlight for me was heading to the Northern Circuit where we got to witness the migration of the wilder-beast crossing the Mara river - around 8000 stampeded pass us...Just spectacular!

Organised, professional and responsive
I was so impressed with Natureways. Communication and responsiveness leading up to the safari was always timely and professional. The actual safari was very well organised with the guide being exceptionally knowledgeable and personable.
I will definitely use Naturways again for future African adventures.
