We booked safari at &Beyond Kichwa…

We booked safari at &Beyond Kichwa Tembo through Ongeri Expeditions online.

Fairly positive experience with ongeri expeditions They communicate via email and WhatsApp for customer convenience.
Communication was initially good with Emmanuel however unfortunately as our trip got closer, Emmanuel started to ignore all messages/emails we had re- safari flight confirmation details and copies of accommodation bookings which was stressful. Emmanuel was quick to reply when adding paid things onto our booking but not otherwise, which made me dubious.

Another person from ongeri, Zippy, thankfully replied to another email just sent to the generic email address and sorted our issues, and confirmed transfers/flight details, albeit only a few days before our trip.

Fellow friends we met at the camp had only good reviews for Zippy who organised their whole trip, so think we were just a little unlucky.

Kichwa Tembo camp review:
- The camp & cabins were beautiful, and very clean. Hot water bottles in our beds on an evening was a treat!
- Very attentive and friendly staff - nothing was too much trouble.
- Good variety of food/drinks at meal times.
- Traditional maasai entertainment and sundowners on evenings.
- Our guide Lorna was exceptional, we saw the big five and much, much more. Lorna was very knowledgeable with all of the animals and there was good binoculars for use in the safari cars.
I cannot recommend &Beyonce Kichwa Tembo enough :)

A top-notch experience with Ongeri expedition.

I had the pleasure of booking an African safari with Ongeri Expeditions. The way they organized the tour was fantastic so we didn't have to worry about anything and just enjoy the adventure. I was able to see beautiful animals that I have never seen anywhere else. Our tour guide was also great, very knowledgeable about the area and able to answer all of our questions. If you're looking for the trip of a lifetime, we highly recommend Ongeri Expeditions.

Perfect Safari Experience!

We had an amazing day experience with ongeriexpeditions and our guide Martin.
Our safari was one of the most fascinating and unforgettable adventures of our lives!
We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our trip, which well exceeded our expectations.
Martin, our guide, was a well-trained individual, an excellent driver, and a delightful man to converse with. He ensured that our safari was secure and that we were shown all of the intriguing characteristics of each location we visited. He comes highly recommended from us!
