A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience – Flawlessly Planned
Yesterday we touched down back in the UK, and I’ve spent the day reflecting on our incredible Kenyan adventure. My expectations were high, but not only did the experience meet them, it exceeded them in every possible way.
Kenya… WOW. I knew I would love it, but nothing could have prepared me for the emotional impact this beautiful country would have on me. I’ve left a piece of my heart in the Masai Mara and brought back memories I will cherish for a lifetime.
The location was nothing short of idyllic, we stayed at Bateleur Camp and it was, without question, the most breathtaking place I’ve ever stayed. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit some incredible destinations, but nothing compares to this. It truly lives up to its name and delivers on the promise of going above &beyond. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. The warmth, care, and attention shown by every member of the team was overwhelming. They went out of their way to make our birthday trip feel magical, from the beautiful birthday bath and delicious cake, to the unforgettable sundowner experience. The chef deserves a special mention, not only was every meal exquisite, but my dietary needs were taken seriously and handled with such creativity and care. The only downside is I may need to invest in some roomier jeans! By the time we left, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to family. But that only means one thing: we will be back.
Our guide Puya was pure magic. It was as if he had a superpower, animals would appear just at the right moment, and somehow, he always knew where to be and when. We saw the Big Five on our very first morning drive, and each day just got better from there. His knowledge, insight, and calm, friendly presence made every drive unforgettable. Because of him, I had the chance to look some of my favourite animals right in the eye, something I had only dreamed of. It was deeply emotional, and a moment I’ll never forget.
But, most importantly, Anton from Ongeri…. thank you. From my very first email to our final departure, he made every part of this journey seamless and effortless. He truly listened to what I hoped for and somehow managed to exceed it in every way. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He answered every question, no matter how small, with kindness and genuine care. It felt less like working with a travel agent, and more like planning a trip with a friend. Knowing he was just a WhatsApp away during our time in Kenya gave me such comfort. His thoughtful check-ins, like making sure we arrived safely, did not go unnoticed. It’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Having worked as a manager in customer service for many years myself, I can honestly say I’m incredibly impressed. If I could, I’d hire him in a heartbeat!
Although I’m sad the trip is over, I already know this won’t be the last time we travel to Africa, and I won’t hesitate for a second to reach out Anton and Ongeri when we’re ready to plan the next adventure.

A trustworthy, friendly and professional travel operator.
I chose Ongeri Expeditions to help me organise my first ever safari, and my first ever trip to Kenya. This was purely based on a recommendation from a video I watched on YouTube. I had no contacts in Kenya, and very little knowledge about the country.
My plan was a 3 night stay in Masai Mara, and 4 nights in Nairobi. It was for my family, including my parents and sibling. I tasked Ongeri Expeditions to organize everything.
And I have to say, the experience was excellent. Faultless. Cazeah was the company representative assigned to me. She was in constant contact with me - giving recommendations for camps in Masai Mara, organising detailed itineraries, answering all my questions, and basically acting as a trusted advisor. She didn't rush me or pressure me into making decisions. Her responses were prompt. She understood that because of the amount of money involved for the safari, I needed to be very careful.
In terms of payment for the travel package, Ongeri Expeditions was very flexible. They allowed me to make payment in installments. Payments were made to a legitimate bank account in the name of the company. Receipts were sent to me. The entire payment process was transparent and above board. Again, as someone who has never been to Kenya and who was dealing with a Kenyan company for the first time, this was very important for me.
And of course, after the payments were made, Ongeri Expeditions delivered on the travel package. They passed with flying colors.
- VIP meet and greet was arranged for us the moment we landed in Nairobi International Airport. Fast baggage collection and swift transfer to a luxury van waiting to take us to our hotel in Nairobi. After 1 night, we were driven from our hotel to Wilson Airport, so that we can take our internal flight to Masai Mara (the internal flight was included in the travel package offered by Ongeri Expeditions).
- The Masai Mara safari experience was flawless. Every request we made to Ongeri Expeditions about the camp was communicated well in advance. I didn't have to make a single request or voice any complaint during our stay at Masai Mara. Nothing needed to be changed. It's very rare for me to experience a completely flawless stay at a travel destination - but this was one of them!
- After the safari at Masai Mara, we took an internal flight from Masai Mara back to Wilson Airport. We were personally greeted by Cazeah and the CEO of Ongeri himself at Wilson Airport, eagerly asking us how the safari went. This is a level of dedication which impressed me.
- In our last couple of days in Nairobi, another staff at Ongeri Expeditions was also kind enough to take us to a few travel attractions in Nairobi.
I can't speak about Ongeri Expeditions highly enough. They really did deliver and provide us with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We worked with Anton at Ongeri Expeditions to help us create our dream East Africa trip! We gave him a rough idea of our dates, activities, and destinations we had in mind. He created a fabulous starting itinerary from which we had many zoom calls to help tweak the outline to be perfect. When the trip finally came it went off without a hitch and we truly had the trip of a lifetime. We're incredibly grateful for Anton and his passion, flexibility, and knowledge that made it all happen. We would certainly use Ongeri again and will be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you again, Anton!

Seamless and Luxury
From the moment I landed in Nairobi, I knew I was in the right hands. Ongeri Expeditions had arranged a smooth meet and assist at the airport, no queues, no stress, just a warm smile and a personal escort through immigration and baggage claim. It set the tone for what turned out to be one of the most seamless and luxurious safaris I have ever experienced.
Every part of the trip, from the Masai Mara to Amboseli and the Serengeti, was curated perfectly to match my interests. They paid attention to every detail, from lodge preferences and meal plans to the timing of game drives. Each camp felt handpicked, and the guides were not just knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation.
What stood out most was how tailor made the entire journey felt. I had mentioned I loved photography and quiet moments in nature, and they ensured private sundowners, early morning drives, and exclusive access wherever possible. The transfers between destinations were effortless, and I never once had to worry about logistics.
To crown it all, Ongeri Expeditions arranged airport lounge access before my departure. After incredible days in the wild, relaxing with a glass of champagne and reflecting on the trip was the perfect way to end the journey.
This was not just a safari. It was a flawlessly executed, deeply personal experience. Ongeri Expeditions truly redefines what luxury travel in Africa should feel like.
Don't hesitate to book with Ongeri Expeditions.
We had the most wonderful time in Kenya, thanks to the reliability and exceptional service of Ongeri Expeditions. Our safari in the Masai Mara, followed by a relaxing beach vacation in Watamu, was truly unforgettable.
Everything was top-notch — from the accommodations and seamless meet-and-greet to the smooth transfers and excellent food. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the entire experience effortless and enjoyable.
Cazeah was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and made us feel genuinely well taken care of. She was always available, not only during the planning stages but throughout our entire journey.
It was truly a fantastic trip, and we would not hesitate to use their services again.
