Everything was timely and good value for the money. Erick the tour guide went above and beyond to ensure the success of the trip
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 hi ... Read mores 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.
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 thre ... Read moree 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.
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.
We did a 5 day safari. 2 days masai mara,1 day nakuru and 2 days amboselli. Everything was well managed and planned end to end. A clean and comfortable nisan van was provided with a pop up roof. Our driver Simon was very kind and knowledgeable. He helped us spot a lot of wildlife. Patrick helped us with all the arrangements and was available whenever we had any questions.
I had the chance to have a 5 days / 4 nights safari from Mombassa to Nairobi via Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli.
First of all, itinerary was promptly made by Patrick with all details clearly explained. He answered my questions quickly and we could arrange and secure the booking.

I can only warmly recomment Mateo Travel to anyone to have a smooth safari experience.
The 8 days Safari was just perfect. From the moment Patrick contacted me, the itinerary he created for my safari was perfectly tailored for me, with all the parks I wanted to go. High value for money and great organisation overall.
A massive thank you though goes to Gordonne, not only a wonderful driver but also an amazing guide, patient, with great insights, suggestions during the safari and als ... Read moreo big knowledge. I wanted to do a solo photography Safari and take pictures not only of the big 5, but also of other animals I did not know about. I saw them all. Gordonne immediately understood I wanted to take time for my photos, and sometimes we skipped the crowd and focused on other animals and the nature. As a solo woman traveler, I could not expect anything better, Gordonne made me feel safe at all time.
Thank you for this amazing experience!
Perfect and professional approach to our request. Fast and competitive proposal. Reliable partner - what had been agreed, really happened. And Victor as a guide, skilled and experienced, was a cherry on the cake.
Highly recommended.
Mateo Travel and Adventure organized an excellent private tour for us. The communication with Patrick was reliable, quick and transparent always reassuring us about our decision.
The value for money was one of the best we saw and despite its relatively low price, the quality of the tour was excellent. We had nice stays, great car for the safari and Gordon, our driver had 10+ years of experience. ...

We totally recommend this reliable and affordable company, you wont be disappointed.
My wife and I spent a wonderful 6 days on safari organized by Mateo Travel and Adventure. It so happened that we decided on the dates of the trip only on January 27. We went to the website safaribookings.com and outlined our wishes: the safari starts on January 31, the duration is 5-6 days, the type of tour is private, starting in Nairobi, ending preferably in Mombasa, the price is reasonable. Of ... Read morethe dozen suggested tours, one completely coincided with our wishes. We sent a request to Mateo Travel and Adventure, and a few hours later we received a detailed offer from Patrick Awidhi. The cost of the tour turned out to be even slightly lower than that offered on the website, and any mandatory additional costs were absent in the future. The trip started on time and all six days passed exactly on schedule. Patrick was always in touch and helped to resolve any issues if they arose. Simon, a wonderful, friendly and professional guide, opened up the life of Kenya's wildlife to us and we literally fell in love with it. The multitude of animals literally at arm's length is admired and makes one marvel at the wealth of East Africa. I must say right away that the low price of the trip determined the ease of accommodation in tent camps and a hotel. However, it was convenient everywhere and a separate toilet and a hot shower were available. I can recommend a safari with Mateo Travel and Adventure to anyone who loves and respects wildlife. Patrick and Simon, we wish you great success and thank you again.
