A Professional Yet Fun Experience.
This is a great experience. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Mara with Mattaw Safaris. They are courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. We were amazed at all of the animals we saw. The driver was able to get us close to elephants, cheetahs, and lions. We even saw a leopard, which can be elusive. The whole time we felt very safe. There wasn't one time that we felt like we were in any danger. We highly recommend Mattaw for your safari experience.

I would do a safari with no one else!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Mattaw Safaris. They did everything to ensure an awesome trip, trying to find as many animals as we possibly could. We got to see the three famous cheetahs and it's breakfast. :)
The driver we had, spotted anything and everything on our drive: from a dung beetle to a leopard high in a tree. We've done a few safaris in Kenya and the one with Mattaw Safaris was the best one ever. Hands on!
Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Unbelievable Experience!
I took a ten-person team on a three day safari in the Masai Mara. It was an unbelievable experience! The lodging was first rate, the guides were well-informed and the food and drink were excellent. I could not believe the wide variety of wildlife we were exposed to and how close we were able to approach them. And the view at the sundowner took your breath away. It was both personally enriching and an incredible team-building opportunity. I can't recommend Bud and Mattaw Safaris Ltd enough!

Trip of a lifetime, expertly done.
Mattaw Safari's were fabulous, our team was treated so well, the accomodations blew whatever expectations I had out of the water. Our camp guides, chef and hospitality team were 1st rate. The sheer volume of wildlife, the proximity, it is hard to put into words. Not only did we see a great deal, but they taught is so much as well. Thank you so much, can't wait to come back.

Outstanding!
This was a fantastic end to a once in a lifetime experience for myself and my husband. Everything was top notch. The lodging was beautifully put together right in heart of the wild landscape; literally with the animals right at the doorstep. The guides, true authentic tribesmen, provided an experience like no other, right down to constant protection under the night sky. Because of their presence, we were able to respect fully walk among the animals and the some of the original people of Kenya. The food and services are undeniably the most exquisite that one should ever expect to recieve considering the raw nature of the environment. It all in fact thouroughly exceeded expectations leaving us wanting for nothing. I definitely recommend this particular accommodation for anyone seeking an African Safari experience.

Wow! The most INCREDIBLE experience!
Sooo impressed by Mattaw Safaris! We were SO well taken care of from the second we stepped off the plane. Our accommodations were great. The drive was amazing! Our sunset safari was one of the most incredible experiences and then our ALL day safari just blew our minds. We saw lions, cheetahs elephants, and even rhinos up close and personal! Our drivers were super flexible and allowed us time to just sit and take pictures and soak it all in. We had a nice picnic lunch out on the Mara. Everything was so organized and we love that this safari gives back to an incredible organization!! Mattaw Safaris are the WAY TO GO!!!!

One of the most incredible experiences of my life. The trip was very well planned! Great experience from the hotel/food/tours etc.
The safari guides were knowledgeable and we were able to see so many beautiful animals up close. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Fun, safe and exciting
Mattaw Safaris was incredible. Our safari guides were very knowledge about the animals and land. They made it so fun as we drove around exploring the Mara. I would definitely recommend Mattaw Safaris, especially since the proceeds go towards such a great cause.

Kim and Bud are the BEST! Best trip ever!!
The experience I had was seriously magic. Every step of the way Bud was there to make our journey through Nairobi, Katale, Mattaw, and the Maasi Mara seamless. There were fifty of us in our group. I am in awe with how well we were taken care of. They had every attention to detail covered.
From safari to the visit to Mattaw I still can’t choose a favorite. They were both perfect in their own way.
Kim and Bud have the biggest hearts. Their mission in life is so beautiful. The Mattaw children are beautiful inside and out. God is definitely leading and guiding them.
God bless them both. Anyone looking to make a difference in this world should make Mattaw a place to support.

Great service, great people, wonderful experience!
What a great trip! Bud and his crew were the best! All aspects of our adventure were well thought out and executed with precision, but with a lovely relaxed feel to it. They took wonderful care of us and made sure we saw everything that was available! We WILL be back.
