Very flexible, friendly and committed tour operator, which ensures a perfect Safari of your needs
5/5

Totally friendly and competent Safari agents and guides. They were both very concerned about having your best Safari experience. There were irrelevant and minor things of improvement, but all in all it was a totally enjoyable and unforgettable Safari. Especially concerning the value for money, which was an important aspect for us. Mateo Safaris will ensure to give you the best experience even with smaller budget. The pick-up was perfectly timed and also the itinerary was all in all followed fine. I would like to highlight our very friendly, professional and caring tour guide Philip, who made our Safari even more special!

All in all a 9,5/10 from our side!

Great trip
5/5

Patrick and Livingston did a great job. We really enjoyed the trip; the lodges were great. A substitute camp at Amboeseli was a little rustic but served our needs. The wildlife sightings were amazing.

Thank you for your honest comment Julie and Kent. The substitute camp that we went for to save the situation disappointed us but this will be avoided at all cost by early preparations next time. Thank you

Extremely flexible accommodating and knowledgeable.
5/5

Had issues with Visas and flights into Kenya delaying our trip. Mateo was extremely accommodating being able to change our plans until we got to Nairobi. They are very friendly and the driver is extremely knowledgeable about the reserve. Seemingly knowing where all the animals are across the reserve.

My first time in Kenya and my first safari tour. Incredible!
5/5

We arrived in the off-season and expected to see only elephants and birds, but we saw more than we expected!
We met a lot of giraffes, wildebeests, gazelles, monkeys, warthogs, herd of elephants and a wide variety of birds. The trip was unforgettable. Special thanks to Patrick and Livingston the are provided support on all levels.

Highly recommend and will definitely be back in the summer!

Supportive and available
5/5

We did the two-days safari in Masai Mara with Patrick. He was very available to provide information to us and answer all of our doubts in the days prior to the safari. The experience was amazing, we got to visit a Masai village and during the safari we encountered almost all of the big five, plus many other animals. I would highly recommend this experience with Mateo Travel and Adventure.

Overall great safari experience in Masai Mara
5/5

We had a wonderful safari in Masai Mara with Patrick and Mateo Adventures. The booking process was smooth, and Patrick consistently ensured our comfort and well-being throughout the tour. We had in fact two tour guides and were provided water and snacks during the ride. The journey from Nairobi to Mara was an exceptional experience in itself - passing through smaller towns, we gained a glimpse into Kenyan life outside the capital, adding a cultural dimension to our overall adventure.
A valuable tip for those visiting Masai villages is that you're not obligated to make purchases, and if you choose to do so, bargaining is recommended, as these villages are very touristy. Our stay at the Goshen Mara camp, while low budget, provided an authentic safari experience in the middle of nature and met our needs. We would have wished for the mosquito nets to not have holes, but that's the camp's responsabilty.

Friendly and reliable!
5/5

This four day hike was absolutely stunning. The team, Patrick, Charles, Leonard, Joseph, Maina, and Antonio went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed to the fullest. The views were stunning, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the hike was a great balance of feeling challenged but safe with the team. Lots of shared memories, laughs, and adventure we’ll surely remember! Couldn’t recommend more.
