Great Safari!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our four-day safari for our small group of 7 people! Our guide, Philipp was fantastic! He guided us perfectly through the whole trip, shared a lot of fascinating knowledge about the animals, and proved to be an excellent driver. Everything went exactly as agreed with Patrick beforehand, and the entire experience ran smoothly from start to finish. The price-performance ratio was also excellent! We felt we got great value for what we paid. We can highly recommend this safari tour – everything worked perfectly, and we enjoyed it very, very much!

positive and disappointing moments
We went on a 5-day safari in Kenya and overall our experience had both very positive and disappointing moments. Patrick helped us a lot with organizing the trip. He booked exactly the hotels we wanted and was extremely kind and patient while we were deciding. We told him precisely what we wanted to do and which routes we wanted to follow, and he did his best to accommodate our plans.
Unfortunately, the last day was very problematic. Our driver left us at a café for over an hour while the car was taken for inspection because we had a long distance to cover. After he finally picked us up and we had been driving for about 30 minutes, the car broke down right as we entered Tsavo National Park. We were stuck there for more than 6 hours, and as a result we lost the entire day. It became dark, and although we had paid the park entrance fee, we were unable to see anything inside the park. Since we were supposed to stay in Tsavo for only one day, this was very disappointing for us, as we had no time to explore it at all. In the end, we had to book an additional day, which cost us a significant extra amount of money, just so we could finally visit the park.
Despite Patrick’s excellent service and effort, the issues on the final day caused a lot of stress and disappointment and strongly affected what should have been one of the highlights of our trip.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

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!

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!
