Friendly and reliable!
This four day hike was absolutely stunning. The team, Patrick, Charles, Leonard, Joseph, Maina, and Antonio went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed to the fullest. The views were stunning, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the hike was a great balance of feeling challenged but safe with the team. Lots of shared memories, laughs, and adventure we’ll surely remember! Couldn’t recommend more.

Amazing adventure up Mount Kenya
My friend and I had an amazing time spending 4 days hiking up and down to the summit of Mt Kenya.
Patricks’ organisation included a 3 hour transfer from Nairobi through the stunning Kenyan countryside.
Once at Mt Kenya, our guide Charles and his team of porters made every effort to make us comfortable during the hike, carrying all our bags, providing some very tasty meals 3 times a day (which impressive considering they have to carry everything on their backs), sharing their local knowledge about the mountain, and answering all our weird specific questions about plants, birds, rocks, and glaciers!
The first day consisted of the transfer and walking from the hike to Moses cabin (3000m) where we had rented some seriously thick sleeping bags for the night. Along the way you might see Zebra, Baboons, and Waterbuck.
On day 2 you hike 6 hours through some beautiful valleys up to Shipton cabin (4000m) surrounded by amazing landscapes, plants, and wildlife. Once at Shipton it gets quite cold so remember to pack multiple thermals, thick socks and jackets.
On the 3rd day, we woke up at 3am to ascend to the summit (4800m), this was a tough ascent on scree and snow but well worth the feeling of standing in an other worldly environment seeing the sunrise. Charles and the other guides always put our safety first, cutting a path through the frozen snow for us on the way back down. We decided to get some extra sleep outside on a rock surrounded by the mountains and were treated to a picnic breakfast in our sleep bags by the team which was a unique surprise!
The you to walk then back through the valleys to Moses camp in preparation to hiking down to the gate and the transfer back to Nairobi on the 4th day.
Thanks to Patrick, Charles, and the team for organising and taking us on an amazing adventure that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Great Experience
My husband and I had a great experience on our safari with Mateo Adventures from the beginning to the end of the trip. We were able to keep our luggage at their office before the journey as we had one luggage which was big. Amazing meals all throughout the trip and Patrick, our guide was the best! He knew where to spot the animals and we got to see the big 5. I recommend this tour for everyone!

Good experience overall
The safari tour was a great experience. It was possible to see various species and the guide was looking around for animals. The organisation could be improved more with a detailed description of the tour. Great experience overall.

Posted on Mar 3, 2024Thank you Hamza. We have since put in place measures to scrutinize individual itineraries during group joining tour like the one we offered you. Matching of miner details including timings,taste and preference, same area accomodations has improved the small variations that can be experienced during group joining tour.

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.
