Matoke Tours Reviews 

My trip was truly fantastic and exceeded all my expectations. Everything was organized down to the smallest detail, allowing me to enjoy the entire experience without any worries from start to finish.

The accommodations were excellent: clean, comfortable, and of a very high standard. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed warmly, and the friendliness of the local people made the experience even more special. The food was also outstanding, with a great variety of delicious meals.

The tour guides were always punctual, professional, and friendly. Thanks to their dedication, the trip ran smoothly and pleasantly. During this journey, I was able to see and experience so much. In addition, the travel group was wonderful, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip.

I would like to give a special shout-out to our guide, Iddy. He was extremely professional, incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture, wildlife, history, and surroundings, and always willing to answer questions. On top of that, he was exceptionally friendly and made sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable. His enthusiasm and expertise truly elevated this trip to another level.

In short, this was an unforgettable journey that exceeded all my expectations. My compliments to the entire team for organizing such a well-planned and flawlessly executed trip. And in my opinion, Iddy absolutely deserves a salary raise for his outstanding dedication, professionalism, and exceptional service!

Greetings,

From the moment we contacted Matoke we dealt with Celia who was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We discussed with Celia what we wanted and she made a beautiful private 10 day package for us. Our private guide Wiki was very experienced and a great 4x4 driver who drove us around Kenia without any problems. He was also a nice person to be around. Highly recommended as a guide. We encountered some 1 in 100 year floods in the Masai Mara in April 2024 but Celia and Wiki found a way to work around these. When we needed to contact our insurance Celia was more than happy to deal with. Thank you all! We'll definitely be back Jorg & Heidi and Chris & Mon

This trip at the end of September had been a dream come true for a long time. We never been on safari before, and now we did this tailor-made trip by Matoke to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Our expectations were far exceeded. The scenery, the guide, and the accommodations. Everything was beautiful and perfectly organized. We saw so many beautiful things, too many to list. If I had to name just three, I'd give you three examples:
A leopard in a tree with its young and an impala for dinner in the Serengeti
The lion in the attached photo early in the morning in Lake Manyara
A serval snatching a rat from a black mamba in Tarangire
Our guide, Daniel, was fantastic. When he realized we loved all the animals, not just the Big 5, he spotted the most extraordinary birds and reptiles. We always felt safe in the car. Daniel was completely in control. He always found the perfect starting points to enjoy nature. Even at the last minute we saw the wildebeest crossing the Mara River and then spent a few days relaxing and enjoying delicious food in the quiet north of Zanzibar at Sunshine Bay.
