Best Wildebeest Migration Ever
Our trip to masai Mara was affordable, we stayed in three camps in the different sections of the park so that we could catch a glimpse of the migration. Two full days we watched the migration without any effect from other vehicles. Abner understood what we were after and he booked us in strategic camps. Thank you Ongeri

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.

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.

One of a lifetime Safari experience thanks to Ongeri Expeditions
My parents were visiting me in Kenya and I wanted to show them around. So I sent an email to Ongeri expeditions and directly got a call from Abner, the owner of the business. A great guy who was very considerate, kind, and helfpul. We have had great contacts along the way and he truly did a great job during preparation.
During the safari we resided at Spirit of Masai mara and they had good contacts with Ongeri as well. It was luxurious, amazing food, and a swimming pool.
Ongeri will keep in touch with you to keep you posted and to help solve any issues or questions you may have. It can be as low key as a WhatsApp message, very convenient if you ask me.
All in all, great safari, great tour operator!

Amazing Experience in Masai Mara
We contacted Ongeri Expeditions through safaribookings.com for safari in Masai Mara. I was in contact with Cazeah from the beginning. The communication with Cazeah was really good. Every time there were any questions she replied to me immediately. From initial discussions, customising the tours as per our need, choosing the camp in Masai Mara, arranging our pick up and drop off :everything went very smooth. Cazeah was very nice to arrange everything for us. We stayed in Emayian luxury camp in Masai Mara and our guide was Martin. We really enjoyed our stay, food, bush breakfast in our camp. Martin is a really nice and knowledgeable guide. He picked us from the airport and took care of us throughout the trip. He made sure we spot everything during our game drive. He put so much effort in our game drive. We really appreciate it. We are really happy that we had such a wonderful experience. It was an experience of lifetime. Thanks a lot Ongeri Expeditions, Cazeah and Martin.

Phenomenal
Alex K. was a pleasure to deal with from day one until the end. He was courteous to make sure all my needs were met, my dietary restrictions were catered for, I was picked up from the airport and transferred to next airport with ease. He followed up with me and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the planning process and recommended a good time to have fly down to make it in time to view the migration. My stay at &Beyond Kichwa Tembo was beautiful, peaceful, and nothing short of tranquil. Alex also recommended Tele as my tour guide and he couldn't have been more right about the choice. Tele was a natural at his job and genuinely passionate, and without Alex's recommendation I wouldn't have had a truly amazing experience that I had. I know this is always a team effort so thank you to everyone who contributed in making my first solo trip to Africa the most marvelous and memorable one. Special shout-out to Alex. Choose Alex, you're in good hands. :)

Martin was so kind, patient and friendly. Simply amazing!
I booked a private safari with Ongeri and told then what kind of experience I wanted and I was so happy to see I made the right choice in going with them. Cazeah was extremely understanding of what i was looking for and she helped me book the right package. She helped me with information regarding vaccines and visas, and we went through a briefing of what i could expect on the trip. She was very present and always got back to me in a timely fashion. They booked me at the spirit of masai mara, a lodge in the conservancy, and had Martin as my guide. He picked me up in Nairobi, and we drove to the Mara, stopping along the way in different towns and experiencing the country a bit. It was wonderful. Martin knew that with the private tour I wanted to stay away from crowds and loud noises and just take in being with the animals in there natural habitat, undisturbed. He would drive quietly and carefully, almost instinctively knowing when to stop for pictures or just to observe, and when to keep going. His driving was beyond amazing, we went off reading along so many different types of terrains, seeking out the animals, and throughout the entire 4 days Martin was patient with me, kept me safe and was just overall such a kind person. He really made me feel welcome and comfortable. His knowledge of the Mara and the animals and the culture are rich, and he shared many stories with me, which I appreciated. I will return to Africa, and book with Ongeri again, and specifically woth Martin as my guide again.
Thank you for giving me the memories of a lifetime!

Excellent, best trip my wife and I could have wished for. Made our honeymoon super special
My wife and I wanted to go on safari as part of our trip to east Africa for our honeymoon. It’s safe to say we could not have had a better experience booking through Ongeri Expediations in particular with Zippy who was our tour operator. She was fantastic, always on hand to support with anything we needed, her communication was great always keeping us updated as and when we needed information.
Ongeri booked us onto Kichwa Tembo camp in Masai Mara and it’s safe to say it was the best 4 days my wife and I had every experienced and we cannot wait to go back already, and will definitely be using ongeri Expediations and zippy to support us on our next trip!
It was great value for money and we would highly recommend anyone to use them if they are thinking about booking safari!
We even booked the hot airballon add on which is a must! Unfortunately it was cancelled on the day due to the wind which was out of everyone’s control but zippy was on hand straight away to ensure we were seamlessly booked onto the hot airballon experience the very next day and we managed to have the best experience we have ever had floating over the Masai Mara and seeing it in all its glory. We are very grateful for zippy help throughout our entire experience and look forward to using ongeri and working with zippy again!
