Amazing personal service
We had an amazing time on our safari. We discussed with Joyceline that we wanted a private safari and we wanted it to start from Mwanza which is west of the Serengeti and not the usual starting point for a safari. Joyceline said no.problem and gave us some options, we chose the option that was a 3 day safari starting and finishing in Mwanza. Two days before our safari was due to start we realised we had more time to spare than we thought and asked Joyceline could we extend our safari by a couple of days. She said no problem and within the hour we had a whole new itinerary. She was amazingly helpful and flexible. Our driver met us the night before to go through our new itinerary and picked us up at the agreed time in the morning. Our 2 days in the Serengeti were magical. The lodge that Joyceline had booked for us was incredible. From the Serengeti we went to Ngorongoro crater and finally onto Tarangire. We saw so much including lions, rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes.....it's just too much to list. Our driver was knowledgeable and great and the places we stayed were fantastic with excellent food. Joyceline organised everything for us without any fuss or bother, just amazing calmness and efficiency.
When were about to leave our jeep for the last time we were presented with presents from the Great Lakes team, it was such a lovely gesture and summed up the team perfectly.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and they do everything so well. If you are thinking of going on a safari use Joyceline and the team, you won't be disappointed.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania
Our safari with Kale Voyage was a wonderful experience. Oscar Lekule, who runs the agency, is highly responsible and efficient; communication with him was excellent from the very start, and his assistance—both in answering our questions and organizing the safari—was truly professional. It is a completely trustworthy agency.
The safari itself was excellent; we had a good guide, Steve, and a fantastic cook, Samson. I would recommend Kale Voyage and the assistance of Oscar without hesitation to any traveler interested in a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Absolutely outstanding
Where do I even begin? From the very beginning of the booking process, we felt special. The company was always available, incredibly responsive and happy to answer any questions we had. They were attentive, helpful and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. However, the true highlights of our safari were our incredible guide, Felix, and our amazing chef, Jeremiah. Throughout the entire six-day safari, we felt so incredibly well looked after. Felix went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did he manage to show us the Big Five almost straight away, but his knowledge, passion and genuine kindness towards everyone made the experience even more special. Felix is truly one of a kind, and he genuinely made our safari an unforgettable experience. We honestly felt like a family after this trip and were extremely sad to say goodbye. As three young girls stepping outside our comfort zones and camping in the wilderness, we couldn't have felt more comfortable or at home. Felix made us feel safe, welcome and cared for every step of the way. I will forever be grateful for the experience and memories he has given us. And then there's Jeremiah, our incredible chef! Every single meal he prepared was a 12/10. After travelling for four weeks, the food he served us felt like a home-cooked meal. Everything was absolutely delicious, and some of the meals were honestly among the best I've ever eaten. We were blown away by the quality and effort that went into every dish. If you are considering booking a safari, I honestly cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the booking process to the safari itself, they go above and beyond to make you feel special. Everything is included, so you never have to worry about unexpected extra costs or stress about the little things. This was so much more than just a safari. It was an experience we will cherish forever, and a huge part of that is thanks to Felix, Jeremiah and the entire team. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Safari in Nyere National park
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Deo Safaris! We spent 10 hours on safari in Nyerere National Park, and the entire day was fantastic from start to finish.
A special thank you to our guide, Muhidin, who truly made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. He had a great ability to spot animals and shared lots of interesting information about the wildlife, nature and the park. He was patient, attentive and made sure we had the best possible experience throughout the entire safari.
The whole trip was very well organized, and everything went smoothly. We felt well taken care of and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
We would highly recommend both Deo Safaris and especially Muhidin as a safari guide to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. An unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you for an incredible day!

Amazing fit for every budget
We had an amazing time on our safari in Kenia. Already before arriving Patrick was very fast in his responses, cooperative and did everything he could to plan our dream safari in the mentioned budget.
The only thing one has to read carefully before booking, is the vehicle description. We didn't have a jeep, which was fine after 2 days, as we got comfortable and you realy safe money for the same experience ;).
Overall we were so pleases that we directly recommended Mateo Travel and Patrick to my parents.
Our Guide Gordon was also amazing on his job and got us some incredible wildlife moments☺️.
Really recommend Mateo Travel and Patrick 100%.
Go for it, plan it before as Patrick will help you with every question, hesitation and than just enjoy your trip.

From our 1st day to our last day everything & everyone was beyond amazing. Everything was so well planned out by our guide tour operator Victor. He was amazing & so down to earth. For the last few months Victor had helped us so much to plan to make this trip so special & so memorable. This was definitely the best trip of our lives. We loved our hotels the food the tours & most of all the safaris. We would definitely come back again & we want to thank Victor for all his help 🙏 in making this whole trip so special for us.

Outstanding experience
I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Nicholas during my trip to Uganda, and I cannot recommend him enough!
Nicholas helped me organise my gorilla trekking permit, chimpanzee trekking permit, and transportation for the gorilla trekking experience. But his assistance went far beyond simply arranging permits and transport. Even before I started my trip, he helped me finalise my itinerary, figure out the best routes to reach different destinations, and plan the logistics of travelling around Uganda. His knowledge, responsiveness and willingness to help made the entire planning process so much easier.
Everything was exceptionally well organised, and the experience was genuinely top notch from start to finish. What I particularly appreciated was the affordability. As a solo traveller, organising permits and transportation can become quite expensive, but Nicholas made the entire experience very affordable without compromising on the quality of service.
I also want to thank Chris for his being so knowledgeable, kind and helpful throughout the journey. His understanding of the places, routes and activities added a lot to the overall experience.
Travelling independently in Uganda can involve quite a bit of logistical planning, especially when visiting places like Bwindi and Kibale. Having someone like Nicholas to help coordinate everything makes a huge difference.
If you're planning a trip to Uganda, particularly for gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Nicholas. Excellent organisation, genuine hospitality, knowledgeable guides and very reasonable prices. An especially great option for solo travellers!
