The trip with Metamo was the most… The trip with Metamo was the most unique, most eye opening trip/experience I’ve ever had. There were numerous highlights but the top one was the Ngorongoro Crater.....it was spectacular!!! So many things - but we were immersed in the local culture on a daily basis which made the trip that much more meaningful. The interaction with locals made the trip even more special. I guess for me the absolute primitive and simplistic lifestyle was extremely eye opening—I was very exposed to the world prior to this trip but was impacted by how time has virtually stood still in many parts of Kenya/Tanzania outside the main cities. From mud huts, to no electricity, phones, TV’s, cars, to herding cattle, the animal kingdom on full display etc. etc. The visual pageantry was on display every day. The entire trip was priceless and easily the most rewarding/meaningful trip I’ve ever made. The cultural awareness/learning experience alone made the trip worthwhile. Being up close and in person observing animals on full display in their natural environment was something I’ll never forget. I think it helped teach me to appreciate simplicity and to not get caught up in the negativity of western life. In short it gave me “perspective”.

Metamo is the way-to-go! Metamo, perfection! Words can not adequately describe the level of service, care, and attention to detail both before and during the trip that Metamo gives. This was our second trip to Africa with Metamo. The first trip was four years ago to go on safari with my family in Kenya which was flawless and a life-changing experience for all of us (which even included a spontaneously arranged guided walk through the bush and along a river by Maasai Warriors!). This time we set our sights on climbing Kilimanjaro. Metamo helped us choose the best time of the year for our busy schedules and the weather, the route to give us the best chance of success, and even coordinated the climb for me to celebrate my birthday on the summit as the sun came up! To see the sun coming up over Africa is not something that can be described in words. The Mountain Crew Team were wonderful people, encouraged us, joked around and kept things upbeat. They took care of everything for us so we could focus on the climb. Our lead guide was so knowledgeable and really an expert in his field. The accommodations before and after the climb were Metamo level. Perfection. Everything about Metamo is 5 Star and I couldn't recommend a travel company more. You will be in the best hands possible for an experience of a lifetime. I look forward to my next adventure with Metamo!

Best Family Vacation It was the best family vacation we have taken. This trip introduced us to a different culture, and we were able to share this experience together. I was always laughing and learning from the tour guides on safari. They were very entertaining. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of seeing the animals in their natural habitat. For me, the most memorable part of the trip was visiting the Masai Warrior village and learning how families lived within their community.

Top Africa Operator I have been in the travel biz for a big % of my working life, and I haven’t run into too many tour operators that have the kind of passion, care, service, and attention to detail that Greg and Metamo have. Not to mention, their absolutely awesome secondary mission is to put underprivileged kids in Kenya through school, and change their lives!

The trip of a lifetime! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my adventure to Kenya with Metamo. Everything was so well organized and I was so well looked after that I didn't have to worry about a thing. We saw so much wildlife and got off the beaten track to experience different cultures. The accommodations were spectacular - we even had several zebras come into camp while we ate lunch, At night we heard lions and hyenas far off in the distance from our wonderful tented camp on a hill that looked over the plains below. The food was healthy and delicious. The guides and staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and went the extra distance to make sure we were always well looked after. We saw the start of the migration, got to see the Big 5, and searched and found rhinos in the rain. I wouldn't have changed a thing. I highly recommend Metamo to anyone thinking of going on a safari in Africa.
