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.

Incredible Kenya
Just returned from an unforgettable trip to Kenya, and I’m already thinking about when I can go back! One of the absolute highlights was my stay at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara Camp. The camp itself is stunning—elegant, intimate, and perched perfectly to give you sweeping views of the conservancy.
What truly made the experience exceptional was the sheer abundance of wildlife, especially lions. The conservancy is teeming with them! Every game drive felt like a scene from a documentary—lion prides lounging in the grass, cubs playing, and even a few thrilling moments of stalking prey.
The staff were incredible—warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. Every detail was thought through, from the sunrise coffee with views of the plains to the peaceful evenings by the fire.
Ol Seki is the kind of place that stays with you, and I genuinely can’t wait to book again. Kenya, you’ve outdone yourself!

Ongeri Expeditions goes above and beyond to make your trip Incredible!
From the day I contacted Ongeri Expeditions until the day we left Kenya, our experience with this tour operator was exceptional! Abner is a lovely person and a joy to work with. We were in constant communication and he never failed to answer my many questions. He organized our trip to Uganda to go Gorilla Trekking and then on to Kenya for safari in three different and distinct areas. Everything was taken care of. We didn’t have to think about anything but having a fabulous time. Being from Canada it was difficult to find a tour operator and we are so grateful to have been recommended to Ongeri Expeditions. Can’t wait to book with them again.

From the first email from Ongeri, until the departure day at the airport, this company have been excellent.
Musangi was our planner and I could not have wished for anyone better. Musangi was the most wonderful, knowledgeable and kind person ever! My trip was smooth, magical, u forgettable and just perfect. I would definitely recommend this excellent company. Also, Samual our safari driver was just great. Again very knowledgeable, kind, patient and just brilliant.
Five stars all around ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing Experience
Great company to use to arrange your luxury or standard safari in Kenya, we booked through them at first we was a bit reluctant but June our agent was amazing. I can’t find words to thank her enough for all she done for us and for always being very genuine, happy and responsive. The service was great, the information communication was very good and during our stay she was very responsive and guided us with anything we needed so much so we booked a holiday when in Kenya with them to Swahili beach and arranged all flights and made the whole experience seemless.
If you’re reading this, stop reading and book with them that’s all I can say. Enjoy your safari it’s an amazing experience

Trip of a lifetime!
We planned our first ever African safari trip with Ongeri expeditions and it is hands down, the best trip of our lives yet! We came across Ongeri’s website when we were looking online to book our Kenyan safari trip and reached out to them via email . They planned out our entire itinerary just excluding the international flights . Zippy from Ongeri helped through the walkthrough call before our trip and she was very responsive throughout our trip . Ongeri even made adjustments to our trip due to some changes in our international flights and they made it all so seamless . The experience in Masai Mara was exceptional and everything including the game drives and park fees were pre booked, making the entire process stress-free for us and all we had to do is enjoy the trip and soak in the experience. They had a great driver (Isaac) who took care of the pick up- drop and taking us around Nairobi and he was super helpful . Definitely recommend Ongeri if you are planning a trip to Kenya and if you want to experience the amazing sights of Masai Mara without having to worry about the planning and scheduling, Ongeri takes care of it all!

Ongeri Expeditions exceeded all my expectations, delivering a seamless and luxurious experience.
From the moment I booked with Ongeri Expeditions 2 weeks prior to my arrival in Kenya, the communication was top-notch as my itinerary was handled by June Musangi. Every question was promptly answered and every detail meticulously planned as stated during our conversations. The service was nothing short of exceptional; every request was catered to with warmth and professionalism. The value for money was incredible; the level of luxury and attention to detail far surpassed what I expected. Ongeri Expeditions proved to be utterly reliable, ensuring that every part of the journey was smooth and stress free. The game drives itself was a dream come true, the guide was welcoming, thoughtful and adhered to our requests and managed to see the 7th Wonder of the World with a foreground of breathtaking landscapes. I would definitely have them plan more of my trips around Kenya and in East Africa at large due to the personalised experiences, and the kind of hospitality that leaves a lasting impression.
