Good to Know

A few journeys worth a closer look.

The private Grumeti Reserve

Three journeys sit in the Grumeti Reserve, a private concession of about 350,000 acres on the western edge of the Serengeti. Grumeti River Lodge comes with a private vehicle and guide, Singita Sasakwa is a hilltop manor house with almost everything included, and the Tanzania Grand Circuit pairs it with the crater rim and Mwiba. All allow off road and night drives, and include return flights.

Kenya and Tanzania in one trip

Icons of the Wild covers Amboseli, the Mara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater over 11 days. The 12 Day Ultra Luxury Kenya and Tanzania Safari follows the same regions at the finest address in each, from Kitirua Plains to Lemala Osonjoi on the crater rim, with our team handling the border and the journey beginning and ending in Nairobi.

A private island finale

Mnemba Island is a private island of beach bandas off the northeast corner of Zanzibar, with two dives a day included and a flight from the Serengeti, Nairobi, Kilimanjaro or Arusha. It is the natural finale to any Tanzanian safari on this page. For Kenya, finish in Mauritius or the Seychelles.

What is a Signature Journey?

A Signature Journey is a complete luxury safari that Ongeri Expeditions has already designed and tested: the route, the camps and the logistics are in place, so you can confirm quickly on the dates that suit you, and still tailor it.

What is the best luxury safari for a first visit to East Africa?

The 9 Day Luxury Kenya Safari through Amboseli, the Maasai Mara and Laikipia is our most booked first safari. The 9 Day Luxury Tanzania Safari through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti is the classic alternative.

Can I change the dates, the camps or the route?

Yes. Every Signature Journey is a starting point. Move the dates, swap a camp, extend a stay or add a beach finale in Zanzibar, Mauritius or the Seychelles, and we will adjust the journey and the price.

Are these group tours?

No. Every Signature Journey travels privately, on your own dates and at your own pace. If you would like to travel with a small group of like minded guests, see our Small Group Journeys.

What is included in the price?

Luxury accommodation, expert guiding, park and conservancy fees, internal transfers and game drives. Each itinerary page lists exactly what is included, and card payments carry no surcharge.

Which of these journeys include flights?

The Grumeti Reserve journeys at Singita Sasakwa and &Beyond Grumeti River Lodge, the Tanzania Grand Circuit and the Mnemba Island escape include return flights from Kilimanjaro, Nairobi or Zanzibar. The 12 Day Ultra Luxury Kenya and Tanzania Safari includes every flight from Nairobi, across the border and back. The others include light aircraft flights where the route needs them.

Which journeys cross between Kenya and Tanzania?

Icons of the Wild over 11 days, the 7 Day Maasai Mara and Serengeti Luxury Safari, the 8 Day Great Migration Safari and the 12 Day Ultra Luxury Kenya and Tanzania Safari. On the ultra luxury journey our team handles the border crossing, and it begins and ends in Nairobi.

What is the least expensive Signature Journey?

The 8 Day Laikipia and the North by Road, from USD 7,500 per person sharing.

Which journey is best for the Great Migration?

The 8 Day Great Migration Safari follows the herds through the Maasai Mara and the northern Serengeti, and is best from July to October. For the calving season from December to March, we tailor a journey around Ndutu in the southern Serengeti.

How far ahead should I book?

12 to 18 months for July to October and the festive season, because the best camps have only 8 or 10 tents. 6 to 12 months for January to March and June, and 3 to 6 months is often enough in the green season.
