Katja H2024-10-30Verified I couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful. Mateys Wildtours is an amazing company and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service that Philippo and the whole crew provided for us. They were dedicated, reliable, friendly, patient and supportive and made our experience a unique one. I whole-heartedly recommend Mateys. Thank for your great work. You made our record climb of Kilimanjaro possible. Thank you!!! Michaela D2024-10-27Verified Thank You ❤️ Through Mateys, we booked an escort for our challenge, in which we wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro within 48 hours. 9 women from all over the world, ready to master this crazy idea. The team of people who took care of us was really amazing. Starting with Phillip who handled and communicated everything, through all the guides, cooks, waiters and porters. It was an amazing group of people who did everything to make it happen. 6 of us actually went to the top, the others a little lower. These people, they were so welcoming and wonderful, the whole trip wouldn't have been so perfect without them. in addition to helping, they created a perfect mood, with frequent singing, dancing and always smiling faces despite being tired. Thank you very much for this experience and I will never forget it. I recommend Mateys to everyone, because you will be well taken care of Durston2024-10-07Verified Safari of our dreams! 😀 First of all I would like to thank Philipo, the company owner, who really went out of his way to accomodate all our requests. From the first time I spoke to him to book our safari, he was really efficient in responding all of my queries and requests. He tailored a custom-made safari tour based on our budget and time limitations. We stayed in contact until the day of safari where the company car came to pick us from our hotel to take us on our safari to Tarangire national park. This was such an amazing experience where we had the chance to see so many animals such as elephants 🐘, zebras 🦓, lions 🦁, monkeys 🐒, warthogs 🐗 and much more! We even had the chance to see ostriches mating which according to our guide, this was a very rare occasion! We continued on our way to the picnic area to have lunch 🥘 in an amazing setting. Matey's thought of everything! It was a really nice, delicious lunch. Following thay we continued on some more game drive and then we were driven to our accommodation at Marera lodge - such a wonderful place! 🛏🛎 But before that, we were taken to a traditional Maasai village where we experienced the village life. This was really unexpected and such a memorable experience!The following morning we went on our way to Ngorongoro national park where we were treated to multiple more animals - this time even more close! We were also able to see a rhino 🦏 from afar! We were told this was one of the most difficult ones to see...On this day, Matey's treated us to a special surprise. Since we were on our honeymoon, they prepared a special lunch for us, with a personalised bottle of champagne 🍾🥂 Not only that but they even sent a professional videographer for our 2 days on safari. David was such an amazing and fun person. He took photos and videos of us in all occassions and made us feel very comfortable. A truly cool person!Last but not least I cannot mention our guide, Gabriel who was so attentive to detail and such a knowledgeable guide. He answered all of our questions on all kinds of animals!In conclusion, I cannot recommend Matey's enough to anyone who wishes to do a safari tour in Tanzania. This will be the safari of your dreams ☺️😀 Eliamani S2024-09-02Verified Our experience with Mateys Wild Tours was absolutely unforgettable We embarked on the 7-day Machame route to Kilimanjaro, guided by the exceptional Mike Sandi, and we couldn’t have asked for a better leader. Philipo’s detailed Kilimanjaro documents and tips were invaluable, setting us up perfectly for the challenge. While two of our group of six encountered altitude sickness, Mike, along with guides Peter and Alphonce, went above and beyond to ensure we all reached Uhuru Peak—words can't express our gratitude for their expertise and support! After the climb, we embarked on a 5-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, with Eric as our driver-guide. The journey was breathtaking, with Eric’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm making every moment unforgettable. The accommodations were top-notch—clean, comfortable, with delicious food that was the perfect end to our adventurous days. Mateys Wild Tours delivered an experience we’ll cherish forever! david k2024-09-02Verified Great Supporting team and Ultimate Trip Our journey with Mateys Wild Tours was an unforgettable adventure from start to finish. We began with the challenging 8 days Lemosho Route to Kilimanjaro's summit, where Mr. Mike's exceptional leadership and expertise guided us to a successful and rewarding ascent. Following our climb, we had the privilege of visiting Msamaria Kids Center, where we offered our support to the orphaned children—a deeply touching and meaningful experience. Our adventure continued with a 2-day safari through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, expertly led by the incredibly friendly Swahibu, who shared his vast knowledge of the region’s wildlife. The trip concluded with a refreshing swim at the Chemka Hot Springs, followed by a seamless transfer to the airport. We are especially grateful to Isaac, who worked tirelessly to accommodate our every request, ensuring that our trip was perfectly tailored to our needs. The outstanding service and personal touches provided by Mateys Wild Tours made this journey truly special, and we highly recommend them for an exceptional and meaningful experience in Tanzania. Gamba M2024-08-31Verified Awesome *Amazing Safari Experience!*I had an incredible 3-day safari with Mateys Wild Tours, exploring the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The trip was perfectly organized, with knowledgeable guides who made every moment unforgettable. We saw the Big Five up close and were awed by the sheer beauty of the landscapes. From seamless logistics to comfortable accommodations, everything exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend Mateys Wild Tours for an authentic and well-curated Tanzanian safari! Juliana G2024-08-28Verified Memories to Cherish with Mateys Wild Tours Our family of five had an unforgettable safari with Mateys Wild Tours to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was perfectly organized, from the guide and Jeep to the hotels and hot lunches. Witnessing the Great Migration was a highlight, made even more special by our dedicated driver, Mr. Eric, who ensured we didn’t miss a thing. I highly recommend Mateys Wild Tours for an exceptional Tanzanian wildlife experience— and definitely ask for Eric! Victoria Nguyen2024-03-16Verified Miss Universe was in Safari and Zanzibar Island. I always wanted to visit Safari National Park and those Albino children in Tanzania. I wanted to see the wildebeest migration and also wanted to help those Albino children. So I chose Matey Wild Tour company to show me around their beautiful Tanzania country. As a solo traveler first time ever visit Africa, I wanted to have a professional and nice tour guide showed me the truth beauty of nature and his culture. It was my honor meeting a director name Philo and an amazing tour guide name Swahibu. Although we did not able to see many lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, because the grasses were so tall. However, I still have a great time and enjoyed my vacation. We must understand that we cannot able to control the animals. We saw so many animals especially the wildebeest and zebra migration at the serengeti national park. Of course, someday we only saw a few animals. The most important thing was that Swahibu, Philo, and I enjoyed our road trip. I treated them as my friends, not my workers. Swahibu was an incredible tour guide and the best driver. Matey wild Tour provided the best durable and powerful jeep. They were even put my picture on the back of their jeep. Everywhere we traveled to, people saw my picture along on the road. People gave me so much compliment about my picture. I also enjoyed the prison island tour by Hamid and riding a horse in water at Nungwi Beach by Omar. I felt so honor meeting those Albino children and able to help them out. The hot air balloon ride was fun. Last but not least, It was nice meeting those Maasai people. The only down side was that Philo purchased a plane ticket flew from Arusha stop by Zanzibar to Deres Salaam, then from Deres Salaam back to Zanzibar again. That was the most ridiculous thing that I had ever experienced in my life, because it was only an hour direct flight from Arusha to Zanzibar, but it was ending up seven hours to Zanzibar. I wasn't sure if Philo made a mistake or he was trying to save money. FRANK M2024-03-11Verified Footprints Adventure. Our entire safari trip with Mateys Wild Tours was fantastically organised and ran like clockwork. Right from the start, we felt confident and in good hands with our guide, Charles. His knowledge about the region and the wildlife was truly impressive. In fact, we even saw guides from other companies coming to Charles for help with navigating or identifying animals! Charles knew all the best routes to get us to the prime wildlife viewing spots quickly.If you're a photographer, Charles is the absolute best guide you could ask for! He skilfully navigated challenging terrain to position the safari vehicle perfectly so we could capture the best possible shots. Even during our downtime relaxing at the lodge, Charles company was delightful and educational. We can't recommend Mateys Wild Tour and Charles highly enough! They made our safari an unforgettable experience!Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 32 reviews
