Great trip in Uganda with Matoke
We had a great 3.5 weeks trip in Uganda! We (Maarten and Teske, both 28 years old) already decided more than a year ago that we wanted to go to Uganda. We were first doubting whether to arrange the whole trip ourselves or to reach out to a tour company, but eventually decided to book our trip with Matoke tours. We never regretted this decision! Our contact with Matoke (Pleunie) was really good. She replied quickly to all our e-mails and kept us up to date about the Corona regulations. She designed a great program for us, that contained all the parks we wanted to visit and included an 8-day trekking in the Rwenzori mountains (something we specifically asked for us). It was also no problem to make some small changes to the program, according to our desires.
When we arrived in Uganda, there was already a man waiting for us, almost directly after we left the plane, that guided us through all the border controls. It was great that we did not have to figure this out ourselves! Outside the airport, we met our guide Dunn. He was a fantastic guide! He was not only a good chauffeur and a lot of fun to talk to, he knew a lot of different facts and he was amazing at spotting animals for us (during the safari's). He was always happy and friendly and he helped to make it a great trip!
In Uganda we visited Murchison falls, Kibale forest (Chimpanzee tracking), Rwenzori mountains, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mutanda (gorilla tracking in Bwindi), and lake Mburo. This was a really nice and variable program. All the safari parks were alternated with jungle/mountains, so we never got bored of too many game drives after each other (although I doubt whether that it's even possible). We especially liked our stay in Mutanda Lake Resort, which offers stunning views and a really atmospheric restaurant. It was the most expensive lodge of our trip, but we were really glad we stayed here for four nights. The drives between the parks were also really beautiful and never too long. Everything on our holiday just went smoothly, we even never got stuck with our car or got a flat tyre.
Too conclude, we can really recommend to go to Uganda and book your trip with Matoke!

Exceeded expectation. Excellent customer service . Driver James is professional & friendly.
We have just returned from an amazing weekend at Maasai Mara booked through Wilber Safari. I chose Wilber Safari after a frustrating effort from competitor agents. Wilber took keen interest in our needs, and didn’t disappoint. We stayed at Keekorok lodge for 2 nights- excellent service and delicious food with lots of variety. Our tour driver James offered us excellent service , coordinating with colleague driver to identify locations of interest. We saw the big 5 and witnessed a giraffe giving birth. I highly recommend Wilber Safari & driver James. Overall, this holiday exceeded our expectations above and beyond. I will definitely be booked our next holiday with Wilber Safari.

Lying Cowboys
Kenya bush expeditions lied to me and my local guide about available tickets for the Sheldrick Trust tour for the 20th of December.
On enquiry they said they had 7 tickets available and we only needed 4. They asked for an email to send the payment link and we were slightly skeptical so we offered cash on the day which they agreed.
They charge $50pp US for the tour and the price is actually $15pp from Sheldrick. All they offer extra is pick up and drop off.
On arrival to the Trust, we pulled over and the driver said we had to wait. After questioning he said that we didn’t have tickets and we are waiting to see if there are any no shows. There were 6 other operators engaging in the same activity. Imagine if we had paid online prior!
Absolute cowboys! Sheldrick trust informed us that they are fully booked until the 6th of January and all bookings should be done through them. This company still offers available tickets every single day for the tour, complete liars.

An amazing team of happy, understanding and fun people to travel with.
I got to know about Magic African Safaris through a friend who knows I love to travel and had shared a poster of their trip dabbed "Karibuni Mombasa"
The cost of the trip was fair & exciting, so i paid immediately before slots got done.
I also realised Magic has managed so many trips given the number of clients in its WhatsApp group where everyone was extremely excited for the Mombasa tour. This gave me confidence that my trip would be super awesome.
Indeed, the trip was fun filled with awesome & happy people looking out for each other.
It was my first time going to Mombasa and Magic gave me a chance to see and enjoy more than what I had imagined.
Magic also gives a chance to people to pay in installments for any trip of their choice since they organise many trips throughout the year.
I will definitely use Magic African Safaris again for many more trips to come.

Wonderful trip
To all travelers to Africa in search of adventure! Who want to travel with confidence, with an exceptional experience, I recommend DKTOURS with your eyes closed!
We had the chance to cross Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana for a trip adapted to our desires, which delighted our eyes and our hearts. An intense and unforgettable adventure which made us see the best of Victoria Falls, and of Chobe. Sunset cruise, walking views of the falls, helicopter flight, thrilling devil pool experience, water and land cruise safari, and overnight camp in Chobe.
4 days of intense moments etched forever.
I would add that you will not be disappointed with the richness of the animals and the landscapes, quite simply incredible.
Thank you again for everything DKTOURS! We wish you the best.

Fantastic 10 days safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara!
We have travelled to many countries but never to the African continent so after talking to travel agents here, lots of research online and emailing different tour companies in Tanzania we decided to make our booking directly with Luitours and Safaris.
I bombarded Ibrahim with questions constantly about the safari and he replied almost immediately and answered my questions and put my mind at rest. Our guide Freddy was incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them and he took great care of us every moment of our 10 days on safari.
The idea to overnight in tents seemed a bit scaring for us in advance, but proved to be the best way of exploring the animal life in the parks. Also the standard in the tent camps were outstanding.
We spotted the big five and two cheetahs. Caught a group of lions by looking at one beta male, and understanding the roaring heard the previous night was a warning from the alpha male. I am still so impressed about how our guide was able to spot the animals from miles away! The vehicle we had was very clean and comfortable with water and soft drinks.
We had a perfect trip to Tanzania. We are really glad that we booked our trip with Luitours and Safaris and can highly recommend it. Ibrahim and his crew cared about us very well! Thank you for the great holiday
