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

Amazing experience
We did a 4days tour through Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Patrick assisted us in order to shape the perfect Safari according to our needs. He has always been very responsive and supportive, and the communication was excellent. Gordon was our safari guide and he is an expert driver and ranger, very respectful of the nature and wildlife. We 100% recommend Mateo Travel Adventure and their team.

Memories for a lifetime
We had a wonderful safari. We were able to see all the animals and got on really well with our guide Fred. He was very respectful of us and the animals (we have seen with others that this is not a matter of course). We can only recommend the tour! The price-performance ratio is top.

Amazing, Flexible and accomodating
Patrick was an absolute pleasure to deal with in the lead up to our safari, he modified the tour to include a visit to the town which my mum was born in, which is off the tourist trail and organised a birthday cake for my 6 year old daughter. The time and thought put into every aspect of the tour was amazing.
We can not fault our driver Gordon. Not only were his driving skills impressive, but his animal spotting too. We considered him family by the end of the safari.
We saw all the big 5 plus so much more.
We travelled budget and found all the accommodation suitable to our needs.
I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone.

A wonderful family adventure
Patrick at Mateo Travel and Adventure created a fantastic Safari for me and my family.
Renson was our guide and driver who looked after us so well, keeping us safe on the road and in the parks. He worked hard long days making sure we saw as many animals and sights as possible making our experience truly memorable .
We had a mix of accommodation from tented camps to hotels on our journey to three different parks across the central and south of the country, all of which were clean and comfortable.
Patrick is an excellent communicator and kept us fully informed at every step of the planing and implementing stages even coming to meet us in Nairobi when we were in transit to make sure all was well with us.
As we were a family of four covering three generations we had to be aware of the expense, with this in mind Patrick had to plan a trip that offered cost effective value for money without compromising on the experience. Which he managed with flying colours.
Thank you Patrick, Renson and Kenya for a wonderful, memorable experience.

A well-organized and amazing tour
We booked a four-days tour, Amboseli and East Tasvo national park are included in the tour. Our tour guide James was great! We saw the whole process of lions hunting.
