Phenomenal
We booked our safari last minute. On a Monday then travelled on Tuesday. Emmanuel was the best and helped us all through and was also patient with me when I was booking. I would love to go on more safaris through Ongeri Expeditions.

The team at Ongeri Expeditions is absolutely phenomenal!
Where do I even begin?!? Ongeri Expeditions left no stone unturned while perfectly planning our DREAM safari vacation! From the very first email inquiry, they were on top of every detail. I had the pleasure of working very closely with Cazeah (Qazeah) so I would love to give her a special shout-out! She was available by email, text, phone around the clock! She answered every question in a timely manner and provided responses and solutions that were practical for us! I told her exactly what we hoped to see and do and she delivered with ideas every time! We added on a day-trip at the last minute and she coordinated and turned it around in less than 24 hours (that too in peak season-- talk about efficiency!). Working with Ongeri Expeditions was truly a stress-free experience and I wouldn't do it any other way. They took care of the details so my husband & I could truly soak in the beauty of Masai Mara! I would also like to highlight the help they provide at the airport. They created a smooth experience through customs after a long and tiring 24 hours of travel. They have a point person at the airport to help with luggage, purchase of SIM cards, and transportation to the hotel. We felt like we were on vacation from the minute we landed because they were able to help us through the busy airport experience. I cannot praise Cazeah enough- thank you for providing us such a 5-star experience! I also had the pleasure of connecting with the owner and CEO of Ongeri Expeditions, Abner (a.k.a Avner Lux), and he was extremely humble and helpful as I worked through what areas and destinations I wanted to visit while in Kenya. He's also extremely well-traveled so his advice and expertise were greatly appreciated. In addition to helping us book our accommodations and flight transfers to/from Masai Mara, Ongeri Expeditions also booked our excursions such as the hot air balloon safari (truly a once in a lifetime opportunity). To top it all off, Abner included a night safari for us at no charge to us (this was beyond thoughtful & generous) and it ended up being the highlight of our trip! It's evident that Abner cares about his clients and he takes their business seriously. He did whatever he could to make this the most memorable trip for us. This is a reflection of the great company he has created as well! Ongeri Expeditions also made sure to remind the camp of our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) and my birthday (which led to the most memorable birthday celebration). Overall, our trip to Kenya's Masai Mara wouldn't have been possible without Ongeri Expeditions! They went above and beyond our expectations (5+++ stars!!) I cannot recommend Ongeri Expeditions enough and I will definitely use them to book ALL of my future trips to the continent of Africa & beyond! If you're looking for a tour operator, look no further! You're in great hands with Ongeri Expeditions! Whether it's your first safari experience or 10th, Ongeri Expeditions will curate the trip of a lifetime!

Excellent day trip to Ol Pejeta
We had one day free in Nairobi so we decided to go with a day trip organized by Ongeri Expeditions. The process from the planning stage to the actual trip was super easy - great communication throughout. On the day, our tour guide (Martin) was great. It was a long day trip but we really enjoyed Ol Pejeta and managed to see some things that we did not get to see during our previous 10 days of safari in Serengeti and Maasai Mara. Thank you to Martin and the Ongeri Expeditions team for making this day trip so memorable for us :)

Flawless service, perfect experience
Luckily we found Ongeri Expeditions who arranged our stunning Maasai Mara Safari experience in less than 48h. They gave us plenty of options before taking a final decision. The entire experience was Oustanding: the coordination, the payment options, the pick up timings, the driver, the luxury camp, the food, the different game drives, the experience of our guide looking for the animals, the picnic set up… looking forward to arranging Serengeti tour with them. 100% safe, trust, professional and respectful. Thanks guys!

Amazing service, amazing people, the really know what they are.doing.
We had an amazing time in Kenia, Joshua, our guide is an expert finding the animals, and we were able to witness amazing things.
Qazeah our contact was really helpful and kind.
Plea try to travel light and take a small bag with you because Kenya Airways is a disaster, they delay and lost bags! So be very carful with this.

Superb Experience!
Pros:
1) We had a highly experienced guide/driver in Martin. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain the itinerary and what we see. A careful driver and we felt safe all the time with him.
2) The camps, Jambo Mutara (Ol Pejeta) and Mara Bush Camp (Masai Mara), were fantastic in terms of comfort, level of attentiveness and quality of service. We would definitely return to these camps in the future! Unfortunately our Amboseli camp was a bit of a let down in terms of quality and comfort.
3) We explored to Ol Pejeta, Amboseli and Masai Mara. Each park was magnificent and beautiful in its own way. Highly recommended.
Cons:
1) The distance between each park is quite big as Kenya is huge and the parks can be far apart. We drove for the most part but also travelled by flight from Amboseli to Masai Mara. The drive from Ol Pejeta to Amboseli took 9 hours! Without doubt, the flight was the least “painful” travel option. We will only opt for the flight option when we go back again. If you opt for road transport, do plan your itinerary carefully to ensure your travel time does not exceed 4-5 hours from park to park, else it gets physically exhausting.

Fast, efficient and reliable.
The whole process of setting up my trip was seamless. I had everything ready and waiting for me at my destination. Took away the stressful parts of planning a trip.

Exceptional service
Ongeri Expeditions organised for our family of 4 from London a bespoke safari trip to the Masai Mara. From the very beginning they were extremely attentive, flexible and able to accommodate everything we wanted.
The trip itself was simply out of this world. The organisation was exceptional to the finest details and we were able to experience the beauty and splendour of the game reserve whilst staying in the incredible Sanctuary Olonana lodge.
I cannot recommend Ongeri Safaris highly and enough and will recommend to everyone.
