The 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.

Once in a lifetime experience with Metamo! My recent trip to Kenya with Metamo was above and beyond my wildest expectations. The Metamo guides took us behind the scenes to see and experience a side of Kenya that I never would have seen without them. We went into a local community where we spent a couple of days hanging out with kids and adults and getting to know their culture first hand. We went to local markets where there were no tourists, had a behind the scenes tour of Nairobi, and experienced an authentic Masai Village while on safari. The multiple safaris we went on were absolutely incredible and our wildlife guide was phenomenal. He was able to place us in optimal positions to be able to view the wildlife drama unfolding in front of our very eyes. We saw the Big Five and thousands of other animals including seeing the migrating wildebeests and zebras and gigantic crocs waiting for them in the water. We saw over thirty lions in all kinds of different situations: lions on a cliff overlooking the water with one lioness roaring at a crocodile just below her, eight lions walking right by our car, a lioness sharing a zebra she just killed with a male lion, we saw several lion cubs playing, and the list goes on! Our safari vehicle was top of the line as was everything else. Our luxury camp was amazing and it was up on a bluff with sweeping views of the plains below and animals dotting the landscape. The food was delicious and varied and almost everything is grown on site. It is hard to put our trip with Metamo into words and I am still trying to digest all that we experienced in just under two weeks. I look forward to my next travel experience with Metamo.

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.

Our 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 :)
