Memorable Tour with Mattaw
This was the first time I had a chance to visit Africa (Kenya) and it was my good luck that I picked Mattaw as my travel and tour agent.
I have no words to explain how professional these guys are. Especially Charles who is a driver, tour guide, bother etc etc made this tour the best ever. We went to Nakoro, Naivasha and Masai Mara with Charles.
Bud the owner of the company helped us with a lot of things and was always communicating day night.
Go with this company, you will find them the best.
100% recommended.
Cheers

Mattaw provided us an outstanding experience from beginning to finish of our six-day safari.
The communication from the owner of the outfitter was always prompt and courteous. The service by our guide was top notch. The guide routinely found opportunities for us to see wildlife up close and in action. The guide worked very hard for us and was extremely knowledgeable not only of the wildlife but also of the country and region at large. Due to the hard work of our guide, our experience excelled beyond our expectations. The owner also did a wonderful job of arranging accommodations. Every place we stayed was very comfortable with excellent grounds for relaxing and friendly, professional guest services. I would absolutely recommend Mattaw to other travelers.

Amazing experience.
Booking with this company was easy. They responded well to all our emails and helped set up a wonderful custom trip for us. Our tour guide Charles was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very personable. We felt very safe the whole time and felt this company went above and beyond to make our experience great.

Life changing safari experience!
Bud did an excellent job helping us plan the safari, and had excellent suggestions and answered our questions while planning. The experience was well taken care of and care free while in Kenya. We felt safe, cared for and educated while on safari. The tour operators became good friends that we stayed in contact with after our time in Kenya. We saw lots of animals and had great accommodations the whole trip.

Amazing Experience
The organizing and coordinating for our trip was above average. Great communication and navigating through changes. We had even made a mistake on our booking date and Mattaw Safaris worked hard just days before the trip to help us get things adjusted. This wasn't Mattaw's error, we confirmed to them the wrong date without paying attention, and still they went above and beyond to help us.
We went on safari as a family of six with another family of three. We had children ages 2, 6, 10 and 15 with our family. I was very impressed with the engagement the team had with our kids, explaining things to them, helping them stay engaged and being understanding to our needs for a schedule that worked well for little ones. Their excitement about our safari made the experience even better. Their knowledge was fascinating, we learned so much too. The flexibility to our needs really helped us have one of the best family vacations ever!
The animals were amazing. All of our animal wishes were checked off, which I was really excited about because you can't guarantee that, wildlife does its own thing. Seeing everything was a mixture of Steve and Charles working hard to find what we wanted to see and the animals also cooperating.
I would highly recommend a trip to the Maasai Mara and if you want a trip where the company cares for your needs and connects with you, that is what we found with Mattaw Safari.

You know you have an idea of what a safari will be like. Well this experience was completely above and beyond what I expected in the best ways possible! Everything was perfectly organized and every second was full of laughs and fun! It’s been just shy of a year since we were last there and we will forever hold this experience as one of our every BEST memories!

Mattaw Safaris gave us the BEST safari experience and exceeded our expectations.
Our safari with Mattaw Safaris was a wonderful trip. We have been to Masai Mara before but this was our best trip by far. It was so easy to communicate with the company from the very beginning and they were careful to listen to our special needs/requests to provide exactly what we needed. From the excellent accommodation they arranged for us to the amazing driver and local guide who were so personable and flexible, we had an amazing time. The driver and local guide truly cared about our comfort and helping us see everything we wanted to see. We traveled with our 3 year-old and everyone was so accommodating and patient with us considering the extra challenges that traveling with a toddler brought. Going with a local guide was extremely helpful, as they were very familiar with the area and were able to find all of the animals we hoped to see. The vehicle was very comfortable and spacious for our family. Mattaw Safaris also knows the best places to stay - we loved the hotel they arranged for us! We will always have these wonderful memories and we are so thankful for Mattaw Safaris for arranging every single detail and being flexible and providing above and beyond service every step of the way.

Exceeded my expectations of a safari!
What an experience! Bud was in complete communication with us before, during & after. He handled our lodging, food, park entry, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals, including birds. He would provide interesting facts about the animals/birds. It was a girls trip and we felt very safe and comfortable. The detail and personal investment in our trip was noticed. I would highly recommend Mattaw Safaris for your custom, professional safari adventure. I cannot wait to go back and do another safari adventure with Mattaw.
