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!
