Exceeded my expectations of a safari!
What an experience! Bud was in complete communication with us before, during & after. He handled our lodging, food, park entry, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals, including birds. He would provide interesting facts about the animals/birds. It was a girls trip and we felt very safe and comfortable. The detail and personal investment in our trip was noticed. I would highly recommend Mattaw Safaris for your custom, professional safari adventure. I cannot wait to go back and do another safari adventure with Mattaw.

Trip of a lifetime..i PROMISE
First, let me say, I was concerned about whether this trip would go as promised as sometimes you purchase something from such a far distance and it is not quite what you think. This was ABSOLUTELY NOT the case. This trip was beyond our expectation. The level of communication, the level of service, the level of hospitality, the level of honesty, and quality of staff were incredible. We are accustomed to a marriott standard in the US and this met or exceeded it. Our driver/guide, Jonathan, was outstanding. He took care of us as if we were family. He made certain we experienced everyrhing...and safely. His skills are superb. If you are having any doubts about travel to Kenya, you MUST use explorer kenya. They will watch over you the entire time and secure your happiness and well being. You will have the trip of a lifetime. This company and Jonathan are beyond reproach. You will have the experience of a lifetime.

This is one Local Safari Tour that I tried them first time by then and they did not disappoint me.
Like I said I was using them for the first time and and was a bit skeptical about them even though I was referred to them by a friend.
1. Communication wise very impressive
2. Service wise- very patient and not like these other companies who are quick to say deposit upfront to secure your booking, got my confirmation booking over a telephone and paid when I got to Maun.
3. Expectations: 100% what u want or ask for you will get.
4. Safari Tour : Cant wait to do it again, very brave and patient
5. Boat Cruise: Fun and adventures especially doing it in the Delta.

Awe-mazing!
The safari exceeded our expectations! Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly and great trackers. The vehicle was roomy so we could move around to get the best view of the many animals that we saw. They also understood how to maneuver the vehicle to achieve the best lighting for pictures. They also booked great accommodations for us! It’s a full service safari and the only I’ll use in the future!

Just Spectacular
Our first time in Africa and our first safari was just simply spectacular because of Mattaw Safari! What I love about Bud, the owner, is that he customizes your experiences based on what your interests are and being mindful of the budget. His expertise, guidance and knowledge of Kenya and the top destinations are what sets his company apart. Our original trip was in May, right in the middle of the pandemic so we had to do a ton of shuffling but Bud was great in navigating the changes of our itinerary, which we were so thankful for! Our safari guide, Charles, was with us the duration of our trip from picking us up from the airport hotel to dropping us off at the airport when we left. I can't say enough of how much we enjoyed Charles as our guide! We did a 5 night 6 day safari. We went from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta to Lake Naivasha to the Maasai Mara back to Nairobi. Charles got us safely to every destination and was very accommodating. Along the way, we saw some amazing animals (all the big 5 and more), we went on many morning and afternoon game drives, a water safari, a walking safari, a night safari and balloon safari! All these adventures were setup with the help of Bud and Charles. All the hotels and camps were top notch and the food at every location was incredible. We plan on returning next year and we definitely will be reaching out to Mattaw Safaris to plan our next trip!!

My memorable Experience
My 3 days 2 nights visit to Maasai Mara was excellent.I loved the simplicity of the itinerary.we had to explore alot and watched the wildebeest migration at the Mara river.This was the most thrilling experience.
I loved their services their comfortable transport,meals was a plus they considered me being a vegetarian.
I will definitely recommend.
