These people are EXCELLENT!! Super professional and attentive to the needs of their clients!!
For our ascent to Mount Kilimajaro and the safari, we decided to hire Mateys on a recommendation and it was the best decision we could make.
They took care of all the details, were on our side. The safari and balloon trip were amazing too. Super reasonable prices!
The best travel experiences of my life. I will never tire of recommending them because they are truly the best.

Review of Kilimanjaro Climb Crew: Extraordinary Service and Unmatched Dedication
Our recent expedition to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on October 22, 2024, was an unforgettable experience, and much of that is owed to the exceptional crew that guided us. As a group of 9 women, we set out to conquer this towering peak not only as a personal challenge but to inspire and motivate other women and support an orphanage. Our ambitious goal was to complete the climb in 48 hours—already a difficult target, as most climbers take 5 to 9 days. Remarkably, six of us reached the summit in just 46 hours! The feat was incredibly demanding, but thanks to our incredible crew, we not only succeeded but also did so in good health. The remaining three team members were in the best hands and achieved their goals safely and soundly.
From the moment we began, it was clear this crew was exceptional. Their professionalism, expertise, and deep knowledge of the mountain made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. But it wasn’t just their technical skills that set them apart—it was their personal approach. They took the time to understand each of our individual needs, offering encouragement exactly when we needed it most. They understood how important this climb was for us, as we had raised funds for an orphanage in Moshi, and wanted to honor the support we received. Whether it was a reassuring pat on the back, a motivational song, or timely words of encouragement, their positivity and respect for each of us kept us going, even when the physical challenge seemed overwhelming.
The crew maintained a steady pace, carefully monitoring our health and wellbeing to ensure we were properly acclimated and hydrated. They provided nourishing, energizing meals that fueled our progress. At no point did we feel rushed or unsupported—every step was purposeful and thoughtful.
Achieving this incredible feat in such a short time required not only physical endurance but also mental fortitude, and our crew was integral to that success. Their leadership, respect, and dedication were evident throughout the climb. We never felt like just another group of climbers; we were treated as individuals, with unique needs, strengths, and challenges.
In short, this crew went above and beyond. Their passion for their work and their commitment to our success made all the difference. If you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro, you won’t find a more capable, caring, and motivating team. We couldn’t have asked for a better group to help us achieve this record-breaking journey, and we are forever grateful for the experience they provided.
Thank you, team, for making our endeavor a reality!
