DESTINATIONS
Specialists in Uganda and East Africa
Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
Uganda is one of East Africa's greatest treasures. An extraordinarily diverse country where vast savannahs meet tropical rainforests, mountains, lakes and the legendary River Nile. Home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and an incredible wealth of wildlife, Uganda is equally captivating for the diversity of its cultures and, above all, the warmth and hospitality of its people.

Uganda & Rwanda
Uganda and Rwanda offer an extraordinary combination for discovering the essence of East Africa. From Uganda's vast savannahs, lakes and tropical rainforests to the lush green mountains and endless landscapes of the Land of a Thousand Hills.

Zanzibar
Zanzibar is much more than white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. This archipelago off the coast of Tanzania combines the beauty of the Indian Ocean with a fascinating Swahili heritage, shaped by the meeting of African, Arab, Indian and European cultures.

WHY CHOOSE US
Why travel with Viajes Matatu?
Because we live here
We do not design our trips from thousands of miles away. We live permanently in Uganda and know the country first-hand. This allows us to recommend every route, accommodation and experience based on our own knowledge and to be close at hand throughout your journey.
Because we know Uganda, but we also understand travellers
Our experience working with international travellers allows us to understand what people visiting Uganda for the first time are looking for and to support them from the initial planning stages right through to the journey itself.
Because every journey is different
We design completely tailor-made itineraries. We listen to your interests, your travel style, the time you have available and your budget to create an experience designed around you.
Because we believe in responsible, respectful and sustainable tourism
We work with Ugandan professionals, support the local economy and aim to minimise the impact of our journeys on the environment. We believe in travelling in a way that respects people, culture and nature.

“The trip was amazing from start to finish. It was very clear that all the staff wanted the best for us.”
