Always camera ready, Its Magical !!
I couldn't be so much happier with the services offered by Kiliholidays. It was very easy from the beginning, starting with communication. Mark was really good with setting all this up for us.
My guide, Joachim was amazing !! I would definitely recommend asking for him when you book your next trip. He is reliable, smart, well spoken and he will help you find all the animals in that jungle. He is funny with a good sense of humor you will have fun.
Thanks guys for making this trip a TRIP OF A LIFETIME !
Amazing experience and excellent service!
Wonderful experience and excellent service all around. Highly recommended!

Don’t book with anyone else besides Mattaw if you are going to Kenya!
TLDR/ Don’t book with anyone else besides Mattaw if you are going to Kenya
Details:
I can not say enough about how amazing my experience with Mattaw Safaris and Bud was. From the moment I reached out to him he was responsive and friendly. We quickly created an itinerary that was perfect for what I was looking for.
I arrived in Kenya a day early and when Bud found out, he offered suggestions on what to do and even offered up one of his guides to take me to the Nairobi park.
My guide/driver/new friend Charles was awesome. Very professional and friendly, but also has a sense of humor. Most importantly he is knowledge about all the animals and all the parks. He made sure I saw every animal there was, the big 5 was easy to see with him.
Bud and Mattaw work with local lodges/camps and every one that he picked out was comfortable with friendly staff and great meals. Nothing like a hot shower and a good meal after a long day in a park.
In the Mara, Bud uses an additional guide, a local Masai. This makes all the difference for this park. You get to go places and see things you would never see with an out of town guide. You will almost be guaranteed to see a leopard with Masai at the wheel.
While in the country and 2 days before I was leaving , Kenya passed a new order that all departing passengers needed a Covid test. Bud went out of his way to alert me to the order, clarify information, found me a lab that does 24 hours testing and drove me to my test. Wow!!! Not that's hospitality.
Lastly, Mattaw uses their profits from the Safaris to put back into their non-profit, which is a children’s home in the west part of the country for over 100 kids. Why not book with a tour company that you know is doing some good in the world?
Book with Mattaw if you are going to Kenya and I guarantee you will have an unbelievable experience.
Thank you Bud, Charles and Safari Steve!

Wonderful safari!
Everything was just amazing. Manager Silas was super supprotive and provided all the necessary advise prior to booking. We saw all of The Big 5 and much more: lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes at a very close distance. Our guide was super proffesional and knew where to go in order to find animals. The hotel was also great and very comfortable, with glass walls and swimming pool. Highly recommend this company for organizing your safari trip.

Happy outcome
Had a tour booked in May of 2020 and had to postpone a year due to Covid. Due to the continued pandemic situation we had to cancel our tour. The company was willing to work with us for an outcome that we were all happy with. Hopefully we can use them in the future when the situation and world is a bit more stable!

A DREAM COMES TRUE
the safari to Serengeti and Norongoro was a dream that came true thanks to Bartho who organized it perfectly well and who made sure that the trip was carried out according to schedule and without any problems. Our guide Malisa is an extraordinary guide and driver who took us on the safari and explained and made it easy for us to enjoy the depth of the fauna and flora, and provided us with protection and security throughout the trip, and Abdulla our cook Chef cooked all the days an excellent meal, with desserts and cakes and above all he prepared hot handmade bread every day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM AS I ASSURE YOU THAT BY BEING WITH THEM THEY WILL ALSO REALIZE YOUR DREAMS OF ENJOYING A WONDERFUL SAFARI. I AM SO GRATEFUL WITH ALL MY HEART MALISA, BARTHO AND ABDULLA THEY HAVE MADE MY DREAM COMES TRUE

Good Value for Money - Happy with them
The value for money it's very good. Our driver Dhula, was excellent, very competent both in driving and in knowledge of animals. The quality of the hotels also was very good for a Mid-Range package. We did the 3 nights Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, which is a package that few companies propose and we very fully satisfied with our choice.

A flexible and dedicated team who made my safari a magical and taylor-made experience.
I went for a private safari with Samson's Safari and they made their best to take in consideration my really specific schedule, constraints and budget limitation. Their flexibility and understanding made my safari a Taylor-made and seamless experience. Dedicated and punctual, Daniel is a passionate and great safari driver. He did his best to make my safari unforgettable going the extra-mile and exploring every corner of the Masai Mara. On top of that he is a great good person, I really enjoyed his company and our conversations. The camp tent was also a great experience keeping me in the safari adventure context.
I really enjoyed every second of this safari and for a really correct value. I would definitely recommend.
