Authentic Safari
An amazing 6 day safari, well arranged perhaps we wished it was even longer.
Our communication with Robert at the office was easy, he responded quickly with plenty of information. We requested a change to the itinerary, no problem. Our guide/driver Joel, was fantastic. He managed to spot wildlife we could not even see initially, all whilst negotiating challenging driving conditions. He was terribly patient and often got us the best viewing position by predicting where to park and wait for the animals to come to us, including some cheetahs and a rhino.
The accommodations from Arusha to entire tour were all very comfortable with lovely, welcoming hosts.
I’m sure you will enjoy a safari with African Wanderlust Adventures as much as we did.

Matoke Tours was fantastic and surpassed our expectations.
We had a fantastic tour through Uganda. It was very well organized, we couldn’t have a better guide/ driver who accompanied us throughout the trip. Everything was always on time, just as planned. The guides in the National Parks were very good qualified , knew everything about nature and animals. Everybody was concerned about the environment and respectful to the animals.
We would absolutely recommend Matoke Tours. They did a very professional job. Many thanks to all the hidden organizers and of course especially to our guide Barnabas.

10 unforgettable days with Abuu in the nature parks of Tanzania.
We spent 10 unforgettable days with Abuu in the nature parks of Tanzania. Abuu, a competent, reliable and extremely friendly guide, was exactly the right person for our 7-person family (2 children). With justifiable pride and respect for nature and the environment Abuu showed us the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of his home country.

unique and amazing experience
Our trip was unique and incredible our trip and Soul of Tanzania played a major part in this. Organization was perfect from the beginning (thanks to the super-girl Mei-Ling! ) to the end of safari and even to the beach trip at Zanzibar.
We were a group of 4 women who dreamed to make a safari together: our choice of Soul of Tanzania could not be better! I worked hard to find them and my choice couldn't be better!!!
We had a super-man guide Hassan who was so nice, and also a super- guide and a super-driver who took care of all of us . The game drives were all amazing looking for all animals with patience, excitation, and emotions.
the lodges or camp were different and splendid either in Manyara Lake , Serengeti or Ngorongoro. How describe the massai visit? many emotions!
and Ngorongoro: it was the Eden garden!! The food was so good and fresh and the lunch was also a top moment! I travel a lot and I was really impressed by the organization and the quality of the whole trip... thank you so much...

3 Days Tanzania safari- a lifetime experience
The safari tour to Tanzania was booked in advance. We flew to Arusha, where our safari guide waited for us with a name plate. He was unfortunately a bit ill, so he organized, to cheange him. At a gas station, our new guide was waiting for us. It was a very good decision, we loved our new guide. And then started for the first national park. In 3 days we were in 3 national parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and last day Lake Manyara. Each National Park is famous for something else, so we selected it to see everything (elephants, giraffes, lions, monkeys, hippo, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, rhinoceros and countless birds). We spent the nights in the same luxury campsite, the Safari Company's own accommodation. The tents are in a huge wooded garden with small winding paths between them. The staff waited us every day with fresh friut juices, and the food was impeccable. Our guide responded immediately to all of our requests, dealt with just us within 3 days, and answered all of our questions. For anyone who goes to the other end of the world, it's a sin to miss out a safari tour,it was a lifelong, indescribable experience.

Impressive experiences, interesting conversations, damn funny car rides. Speke Uganda rocks!
If you want to experience Uganda in many ways and not "only" see great apes, then this is the right place for you. Besides impressive landscapes, a unique animal world and culinary delicacies, our guide made special experiences possible by always conjuring something special out of the hat, simply because we talked about it before. We would love to come back right away!

Did not use him for our tour. Horrible experience dealing with his unprofessionalism.
Rude and impolite communicator. Insists he will use Whatsapp due to being on the road and will not send a detailed itinerary. Make sure you ask him which hotels, cars (if they have AC) and where food is provided.
He goes back on his word and is a poor organizer.
We opted not to use him and politely asked him to stop writing us and he became even more aggressive and rude and made inappropriate comments.
Use your own judgment to use his services.
