Fantastic Safari With an Amazing Guide!
Rating:

Mateo Travel and Adventure delivered an excellent and well‑organized tailor-made safari experience. The itinerary was clear, detailed, and thoughtfully planned—from Amboseli’s stunning views of Kilimanjaro to the dramatic landscapes of Tsavo East, exactly as described in their proposal.

A special shout‑out to Vincent, our guide, who made the trip unforgettable! His friendliness, positiv ... Read moree attitude, and deep knowledge of wildlife and the parks elevated every game drive. He always made sure we were in the right place at the right time, and his enthusiasm was contagious!

The accommodations were comfortable and perfectly located, just as outlined in the itinerary.

If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and genuinely warm safari team, Mateo Travel and Adventure is an excellent choice. Vincent in particular made the experience exceptional.

We had a wonderful Safari. Patrick made sure we get the accomodation we selected or if already fully booked suggested alternatives. All went very smoothly. Our driver and guide Simon made every effort to make sure we see a lot of animals during our 5 day safari from Amboseli, Tsavo West and East.

The safari we chose was wonderful! The organization was excellent, and the team was kind and precise. Our guide, Philip, made every single day special. We will carry these four days in our hearts.

An exceptional safari and unforgettable memories

We spent an absolutely incredible 6 days/5 nights with Matheo Travel Adventure, exploring Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Taita Hills, and Amboseli. This safari was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end.

We saw an impressive number of animals and experienced some truly magical moments. The landscapes were magnificent, and each day brought its own unique emotions. We thoroughly enjoyed ourse ... Read morelves.

A huge thank you to Eric, our guide and driver. He was exceptional: accommodating, patient (we speak very little English 😅), kind, discreet, and always in good spirits. He knows his job perfectly and has an incredible eye! He spotted animals when we couldn't see a thing. Thanks to him, we were able to observe scenes we would never have seen on our own. We felt completely safe and secure throughout the entire trip.

Our safari was simply WOW!
An exceptional experience that we highly recommend with Matheo Travel Adventure, and especially with Eric.
Thank you again for these unforgettable memories!

Top quality organisation and delivery

I completed a three-day safari with Mateo Adventure from Nairobi to Amboseli and then to Tsavo East. From Tsavo East we continued by train to Mombasa and then on to Diani Beach.
Our guide Eric was supposed to pick us up at 8 a.m. on the agreed day. He arrived as early as 6:30 (and waited nearby) to make sure he would be there on time! We then set off for Amboseli and reached the park without any ... Read moreproblems. We checked into the selected lodge, where everything was perfectly prepared. Amboseli was an amazing experience, also thanks to Eric. He knew the park very well and, thanks to his professional approach and experience, he understood exactly what visitors need. Our experience was wonderful—we saw many animals, including lions. Both of our game drives in the park were truly exceptional.
On the third day we headed to Tsavo East. I greatly appreciated Eric’s driving skills as well as his overall professionalism.
At Tsavo East, the accommodation again went smoothly and without any complications, followed by another game drive. Once more, I want to highlight Eric’s abilities—he really did his best to make sure we had the best possible experience. And indeed, we saw many animals again, including lions with small cubs.
On the last day, Eric dropped us off at the train station. The journey to Mombasa went smoothly, and at the station another representative from the agency was already waiting for us and took us without any issues to our final destination at Diani Beach.
I highly appreciate the professional communication and overall organization handled by Patrick—everything worked perfectly. Many thanks to Eric as well; I truly value his approach, professionalism, and knowledge. We received exactly what we had ordered, and the selected accommodations were also excellent.

Our tour guide was incredible

My friend and I struggled to figure out where and how we should book a safari. We landed here, and found Mateo.

We reached out for quotes which were promptly provided - and though we considered 2 other companies, the professionalism of the quotes and of Patrick stood out! We picked Mateo and we are so glad that we did :)

Everything was simple - we chose the quote we liked best and Patrick ... Read moremade everything easy to book. Then, we were picked up at the airport by Simon, our guide. He was so kind and helpful - knowledgeable, professional… I can’t say enough good things about these 2!

On the safari itself, we got to eat delicious food, see different parts of the country, and get close to tons of incredible animals. Simon did an awesome job finding the best spots and sharing information about the animals.

When we come back to Kenya, we will definitely use Mateo Travel and Adventure. Highly recommend :)

Just perfect
Rating:

Our experience was just perfect.
Before the safari:
Patrick took care of us since our first enquiry, which was actually one of the aspects that convinced us to choose this agency. Complete availability in trying to customize the safari based on our necessities. Provided all documentation we asked to ensure the agency is reliable.
During the safari:
Eric was just the best guide ever. He knows ... Read moreeverything about any possible animal, knows where to go to spot them, was always ready to answer all our questions not only about the safari itself, but also about life in Kenya in general. Super patient, super wise, super kind and responsible. The drive was always safe. He knows the timings and when it's worth to keep looking out.
Lodges:
Just as described, loved them all
Car:
We had a jeep, perfect choice, suggested
Choice of the tour:
Amboseli, Taita, Tsavo East. We could see almost every animal but rhinos (cheetahs were hiding but were there). The landscape on the parks was just impressive. From Amboseli we were also lucky enough to see the Kilimangiaro. Even the roads from one park to another are worth looking out - we could see a lot of animals there too, as they pass close to corridors for the animals to be able to move around and eventually migrate.
Safety:
3 girls, never felt safer

Highly highly recommended
Thank you Eric!

I did a 3.5 day safari to Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East, and had a wonderful time.

I had a great experience on my three and a half day safari to three parks. Patrick was very communicative, and my guide Simon went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much as possible. Saw all kinds of animals including lions and cheetahs, and I had really special close observations of elephants. There were countless other zebras, giraffes, buffalo, baboons, all manor of antelope, plus so many ... Read more more. The landscape alone was breathtaking and worth the trip. Simon knew a ton about the behavior and habits of the animals and shared it all with good humor and patience. It was a truly special experience, all as described in the itinerary, and I would definitely book with Matteo again.

positive and disappointing moments
Rating:

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.

Unfortunat ... Read moreely, 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.
