Excellent experience from start to finish
Our 6 day private safari with Mateo Travel and Adventure was an excellent experience right from the start. Patrick promptly responded to our initial request for information with a range of accommodations for each of the parks we wanted to visit. He answered all our questions quickly and we picked the combination that suited our budget. Once we confirmed the final proposal, everything went smoothly, from our initial pickup, the train ride to the first park, and meeting our guide.
Eric, our guide, was outstanding! He has great knowledge about the animals and his ability to spot them in the distance was amazing. He was also a very good and careful driver, both in the parks and on the highway back to Nairobi on our last day. Always good natured, calm and polite. We enjoyed chatting with him and learned so much not only about the parks but also about Kenya in general.
We appreciate how professional and organized Mateo Adventures is and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you Eric and Patrick!

Fantastic Safari With an Amazing Guide!
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, positive 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
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. He is so passionate about animals and gave us good photo shoots. Thanks to Simon, thanks to whole Mateo Team. We had a great time!

Fantastic experience!
We had a fantastic experience from start to finish!
Our guide, Simon, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the trip. Everything was perfectly organized, the accommodations, train arrangements, and driver all worked seamlessly together, which made the journey completely stress-free.
I truly appreciated the excellent value for money. In a market where prices can sometimes be surprisingly high, this experience felt absolutely worth it.
Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable trip. I’ll definitely be recommending you!

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 ourselves.
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 problems. 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 made 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
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 everything 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 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.
