GBOur family trip to Rwanda and Kenya… Our family trip to Rwanda and Kenya with Metamo was spectacular. It is a totally different world over there. These experiences allowed me to fully understand just how large and diverse our world really is. A definite highlight for me was spending the magical time with the gorillas in Rwanda. I also enjoyed working with all of the children’s home and at a school which was one of the most amazing and influential experiences of my life! There were funny moments the entire trip but I think going on the safaris with all of the other kids on the trip had some of the funniest moments. Seeing the family of cheetah's attack the wildebeest is definitely something I will never forget! An adventure with Metamo is the best!

GBLife changing experience that went above and beyond expectations It is hard to explain other than the way I look at life is totally different from how I saw life before the trip. It is a trip filled with so many moments of "life" where it becomes a very reflective trip. Life changing! Each day of our trip was an incredible memory. As we would close out each day we wondered how anything could get better and then we would wake up the next day and it seemed to be even better then the day before. Being with friends and family and experiencing all of the beauty of Kenya together Watching a lion family with the mother and her cubs. Another one was when the Cheetah mother and her babies had cornered a baby wildebeest and the baby wildebeest came up against our jeeps for protection and how the driver slowly moved the jeep towards the higher grass and the baby wildebeest followed the movement of the car and escaped once he could protect himself in the grass. There are so many - additionally having the opportunity to witness the great migration.How beautiful Kenya was and how friendly the people were. Additionally the abundance of animals. Seeing nature untouched up close and personal. Having a front row seat to witness some of nature's true marvels.

GBThe honeymoon of our dreams! My husband and I went to Africa for our honeymoon with Metamo in June of 2022. We have been to many other countries and by far this was the most unbelievable experience. We have always planned our trips ourselves, but there was no way we could have had the experience we did without Metamo. We were blown away. We chose Tanzania and spent a week on safaris through the Serengeti and then a week on Zanzibar. As soon as we landed, Mufasa (our guide) was at the airport waiting for us...everyone should meet Mufasa, he is the best guide there is! We spent time at two different camp sites, each unique and breathtaking in their own way. Mufasa was in constant contact with Greg, making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. We saw every animal you could possibly imagine from the small leopard tortoise and even smaller lilac-breasted roller to the giant African elephant and black rhinoceros. There were zebra and wildebeest everywhere, you could hear the hippos playing at night and the hyenas hunting. We had elephants at our campsite breaking down trees within a couple yards away from us. We saw lions with their cubs, a couple leopards, giraffes, crocodiles, and more. There is nothing more romantic than having dinner with your partner overlooking the sunset on the Serengeti, elephants and other wildlife in the distance, with floating lanterns around you...we had no words to describe what we were feeling. When we left the Serengeti and arrived in Zanzibar, we were introduced to Ali, another amazing guide we highly recommend. We spent time in Stone Town where we experienced local foods and traditions. We went to an incredible night market and spent the next day visiting a spice farm. We had some of the best food at these places and learned so much about the history and customs of the people in Zanzibar. After a couple days exploring, Greg had booked us a beautiful and very romantic villa on the beach at Baraza Resort. It was the perfect place to wind down after all the travel and excitement. We spent our days there snorkeling, walking the beach, visiting the spa, and relaxing. Greg had planned everything perfectly down to the smallest details. He had amazing relationships with the Metamo guides, we never had to worry or stress about anything. The staff at our tent sites and resorts were more than accommodating and kind. We highly recommend Metamo and can't wait for our next travel experience with them.

GBOur Flawless trip via Metamo! This trip was flawless in terms of logistics, activities, food, hospitality, and friendships made. As someone who travels often, I had no idea a trip could be planned and executed so well. From start to finish, every hour was accounted for and mapped out. We did not have to worry about any logistics. All of those hours were filled with unique activities that only someone who has lived in Africa would be able to coordinate. Kilimanjaro: Hiking Kili is a memory I will never forget. The guides were incredible, had answers to every question, as well as advice for every aspect of the climb. They were determined to get us to the top (we got to the top!). I was blown away by the hospitality and food! As someone who backpacks often, the food we ate on our hike compared (and was better) to food I cook at home! I'd recommend trying the Tanzanian chili ketchup! We built strong relationships with the guides who were so kind as to teach us Swahili and I'm still messaging a few of them! Sawa Sawa The list Metamo put together of what to bring was a necessity. I spoke with folks on other tours and a lot of them did not bring appropriate clothing and struggled with the cold temperatures on the last day. We celebrated with a ceremony, champagne, and cold beers at the bottom of the climb, which was amazing after 7 days of hiking. Safari: We saw the big 5 and more! We walked into the lodge and there were Zebra's walking around about 10 feet away from us, which was quite a way to enter the lodge. The guide that Metamo connected us with was a pro among pros! He was determined for us to see the Big 5 (and a lot more). We even saw Rhino's twice, which is unheard of. The food, hospitably, and accommodation were fantastic! Certainly one of the coolest bar's I have had a drink at. Not to mention the lodge is 100% off the grid and sustainable, which is something important to me. All the food is grown there! Anyway, Metamo absolutely killed it and I will certainly be planning more trips with them! Well they will be doing the planning :)
