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!

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.

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 :)
