Very professional company from the beginning until the end. Susan Waweru take care of my family and I. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She explains everything well, she answers at all my doubts, and the communication was very easy. Thank you to her and the company to made our trip even better that we can imagine.

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.

A Truly Memorable Safari Experience in Maasai Mara
My family and I recently returned from a fly-in luxury safari in the Maasai Mara with Ongeri Expeditions, and it's one of those trips we'll be talking about for years.
From the moment we landed, everything felt effortless. Staying at Surana Mara Camp gave us the perfect balance of comfort and being immersed in nature. Waking up to the sounds of the Hippo's and watching the landscape change colours at sunrise never got old.
Our guide, Ezekiel, played a huge role in making the experience special. His knowledge of the wildlife and ability to spot animals from what seemed like impossible distances constantly amazed us. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so saw where the crossing of the Great Migration happens, something I'd only ever seen in documentaries.
What stood out just as much as the wildlife was the people. Joe, Merlyne, Jess, Edwin, and Cheryl made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Their warmth, attention to detail, and friendly conversations made the camp feel less like a lodge and more like a home away from home.
There was one evening after a game drive when we had a sundowner, and we sat quietly watching the sun disappear behind the Mara horizon. No phones, no distractions, just family and nature. It reminded me how rarely we get moments like that.
If you're looking for a safari that combines incredible wildlife, thoughtful hospitality, and memories you'll carry long after you've returned home, I'd happily recommend Ongeri Expeditions!

Outstanding service and a perfectly planned Malaysia holiday.
I was apprehensive about planning my first international vacation with my son, but Ongeri Expeditions made the entire experience stress-free. Every detail was carefully arranged, from door-to-airport transfers and check-in assistance to knowledgeable guides and seamless support throughout the trip. They took our varied interests into account and created a memorable 10-day Malaysia vacation that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Ongeri Expeditions and look forward to booking my next trip with them.
