positive and disappointing moments
We went on a 5-day safari in Kenya and overall our experience had both very positive and disappointing moments. Patrick helped us a lot with organizing the trip. He booked exactly the hotels we wanted and was extremely kind and patient while we were deciding. We told him precisely what we wanted to do and which routes we wanted to follow, and he did his best to accommodate our plans.
Unfortunately, the last day was very problematic. Our driver left us at a café for over an hour while the car was taken for inspection because we had a long distance to cover. After he finally picked us up and we had been driving for about 30 minutes, the car broke down right as we entered Tsavo National Park. We were stuck there for more than 6 hours, and as a result we lost the entire day. It became dark, and although we had paid the park entrance fee, we were unable to see anything inside the park. Since we were supposed to stay in Tsavo for only one day, this was very disappointing for us, as we had no time to explore it at all. In the end, we had to book an additional day, which cost us a significant extra amount of money, just so we could finally visit the park.
Despite Patrick’s excellent service and effort, the issues on the final day caused a lot of stress and disappointment and strongly affected what should have been one of the highlights of our trip.

Very good and price/value safari
Our guide Erik was great, calm and active listening. Nice safari in two national parks - full of adventure. We were very satisfied.

Great Safari!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our four-day safari for our small group of 7 people! Our guide, Philipp was fantastic! He guided us perfectly through the whole trip, shared a lot of fascinating knowledge about the animals, and proved to be an excellent driver. Everything went exactly as agreed with Patrick beforehand, and the entire experience ran smoothly from start to finish. The price-performance ratio was also excellent! We felt we got great value for what we paid. We can highly recommend this safari tour – everything worked perfectly, and we enjoyed it very, very much!

Comfortable and Authentic Way to Discover Kenya
Our tour through Kenya was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was well organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Mr. Gordan was incredibly knowledgeable about the country, its people, and the wildlife. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to spot more animals than many other groups we met along the way. We even saw lions almost every day — often being the first and sometimes the only vehicle at the spot. He shared so much interesting information every day and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.
The roads were sometimes a bit bumpy and not always in perfect condition, which made us even more grateful that we didn’t have to drive ourselves. We completely trusted our guide, and he was always attentive to our wishes and needs.
The accommodations were comfortable mid-range lodges, very clean and hygienic, with full board and complimentary drinking water provided every day. We always felt safe and well taken care of everywhere we stayed.
Overall, the tour was perfectly organized, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. It was the ideal way to experience Kenya — seeing an incredible variety of animals, getting to know the land and its people, and doing it all in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

Amazing tour operator would recommend
We did the Nairobi to Mombasa tour with game drives at amboseli and Tsavo east for four days.
We stayed at Olemayian Amboseli Cottages and Boma simba lodge.
Our guide Mr Gordon was well trained. He knew in both parks the good spots. He was always on time and gave a lot of background information.
The hotels were also great value for money.
Food was very good in both lodges.
Game drives were amazing, saw all big fives except leopard. However, multiple times lions.
Patrick from Mateo is very responsive on WhatsApp and sticks to agreements.
Nothing I would change about the tour or the operator. Thank you for the great time.
Best Jens
