Reviews
Matoke made our Tanzania trip a wonderful experience
Great advice. Quick service. We already had a good pre-experience with Matoke advice. And our Safari through the NP's of Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti only confirmed. Combined with a great stay at Zanzibars Stone town and beaches. Wonderful.

Incredible experience
We had such a wonderful time. We went on our honeymoon with a private driver/guide (Mike) through Uganda for a week and then chilled in Zanzibar for another 4 days. Everything was perfectly organised and the lodges (luxury version) were the nicest places we ever stayed in. Our guide took very good care of us and shortly briefed us at the end of every day so we knew what to wear and what to expect the next day.
This has been our best vacation in our lives as of yet. Uganda is very special due to the close proximity of different types of landscapes. We saw everything from chimps to elephants, zebra's, warthogs, gorilla's, crocodiles, hundreds of different types of incredible birds, many different species of Antelope, and on our last day on Zanzibar even humpback whales which was breathtaking. When in Zanzibar we recommend to also take an Island tour with one of the local people as you see and can do more and it is not as pricey to do with the lodge.
In Queen Elizabeth Natural Park we were not lucky enough to see any Lions or Leopards however we were only there for a 1,5 day and that gives us a good reason to go back.
All in all we highly recommend going on a tour with Matoke

a good African experience
I did a tour through Uganda with Matoke. This Ugandan-Dutch organisation gave me a great experience of this wonderful nation. The places we went to were well chosen, accomodation (budget) was generally well, the driver a wonderful man, but the communication between HQ and travellers / driver were not always 100% which could always be overcome, but gave some slight disappointments. Still, Uganda is a beautiful country which has a lot to offer, so if you'd like to discover more about it, Matoke is a good organisation to get in touch with.

Excellent trip around Uganda. Well organised and planned with great mid-range accomodation
Excellent trip. Really listened to our needs and produced an itinerary line with exactly what we wanted. Level of accommodation was excellent and the activities included were perfect. Gershom, our driver, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
A perfect trip and highly recommended.

so much more than we expected! professional, friendly and competent!
We had a wonderful vacation. Our luggage didn't arrive, and while Brussels Airlines and the Airport in Uganda were completely unhelpful, Matoke's Sven organized a driver who followed us with our suitecases through the country. This really saved our vacation. The drivers and guides were all superfriendly, flexible and helpful. From the beginning at home to the return everything was perfectly organized to really reasonable prizes. Would do it immediatly again with Matoke and can only recommend them. Bravo!

A well organised, breathtaking trip
We had an amazing time on the trip. It was a nice combination of sightseeing and activities. Our driver/guide was very friendly and we had great conversations with him. He also give us tips for the next safari we were going to have, which was good. Because of him, we had something to do on our free day the second trip.
The accommodations were beautiful and the food and service were amazing. It was a little expensive though (we're students). Some cheaper accommodations would have been fine too, if that would have made the costs less. But mostly, we were very happy and content with the accommodations we stayed at.
All in all, we were very happy and content that we chose Matoke Tours for our trip. And we probably would do it again.

Very enthusiastic team, well organised
The team, guide & drivers, are very enthusiastic, helpfull and very good in their job. They help you with all your questions and do their utmost to fulfill your wishes. They drove safe and were superb in the safari's, which were excellent, we even went 2x a day, making the most out of it! Service is great, they also organised for our lost luggage to be sent up to Jinja, where we stayed at the time it was found. I can recommend them to organise your trip to Uganda !
